The unique upper and carbon fiber midsole over Zoom Air cushioning makes for a surprisingly comfortable…

The classic basketball shoe turned skate model was released in a flurry of colors in 2017. The releases were not mainstream and didn’t hit Foot Locker accounts or small retail and the online response was lukewarm. The shoes have been showing up at Nike Clearance Stores at great prices and there have been some nice…
Remember when Nike made every shoe in Kanye’s colors? Overbranding/Overbranded is basically Nike taking a collaborator’s ideas and integrating them into every sneaker they make. The Air Max 97 was a part of the Ten. This Air Max obviously carries elements of the Ten in the shifting of traditional elements and overstated branding. The monotone…
The Air Force 1 Mid is usually the least exciting version of the classic sneaker. It’s basically the middle child and is overlooked in collabs and limited releases.

The Air Jordan 33 is a technical masterpiece of basketball footwear. It’s one of the most adventurous models to release and I think the best in the numbered line for the brand. This colorway is a reference to the Air Mowabb and the ACG line for Nike. The shoe utilizes the Fast Fit lockdown system…

The Rookie of the Year celebrates MJ’s amazing introduction to the NBA. The shoe feels a bit like a boot in the colorblocking and that’s perfect for the winter weather.

There is the original low, the mid cut, the latest version which is almost a mid, but is possibly the best version because of the price, but only one is easily distinguishable. The 360 automatically takes the confusion away because it is the only Nike shoe designed with 360…
adidas has begun restocking popular versions of the Yeezy line.
