adidas Ultra BOOST 4.0 grey/mint/white CP9251 | Authentic Verification

Loading

This Ultra BOOST model is called Navy on some sites, but I don’t see it. The upper is a smoky grey with hits of teal/mint throughout the Primeknit. The super comfortable BOOST/Continental Rubber combination remains a constant for comfort.   [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=adidas+Ultra+BOOST+4.0+CP9251&categoryId1=11450&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337944803&toolid=10039&customid=ub4mint&listingType1=All&descriptionSearch=true&feedType=rss&lgeo=1″ items=”7″]

Another close up look at the React Element 55. The lifestyle shoe from Nike sports a stack of React Cushioning and a lightweight, unstructured upper. Ringing up at 130.00 right behind the Odyssey, it is the cheapest model to arrive featuring Nike’s new cushioning system.   [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=Nike+React+Element+55+Black+White&categoryId1=11450&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337944803&toolid=10039&customid=55bw&listingType1=All&feedType=rss&lgeo=1″ items=”7″]

WMNS Air Jordan 1 Retro High PRM Phantom/White ‘Snakeskin’ | Authentic Verification

Loading

The Air Jordan 1 Snakeskin Pack for women arrived in a black and white colorway. This version is the ‘white’ which is really more of a Phantom or Sail with a striking heel and collar featuring a snakeskin grained leather. The shoe was on sale for only 79.99 which was a steal.   [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=Air+Jordan+1+Retro+High+snakeskin+white&categoryId1=11450&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337944803&toolid=10039&customid=aj1wsnake&listingType1=All&feedType=rss&lgeo=1″…

adidas NMD_R1 G27916 ‘ATL’ Printed Stencil Pack | Authentic Verification

Loading

adidas is reinvigorating the NMD line with a series of options that are on trend with the graphic branding on sneakers. I’ve seen this model in pics with ATL on the heel midsole. I don’t know why it’s designated ATL, but the stencil style logos are dope.   [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=adidas+NMD_R1+G27916&categoryId1=11450&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337944803&toolid=10039&customid=atlnmd&listingType1=All&feedType=rss&lgeo=1″ items=”7″]
