CNF is a nano-sized ultra-fine fiber that is one-fifth the weight of steel but five times stronger. It can be made from almost any kind of plant biomass, making it an extremely abundant resource. I recently wrote about the Gel-Kayano celebrating its 25th update, but in my haste to celebrate one of the best…
I will readily admit that corporate culture stems from those who built the company. I know this and everyone should know this. If an Asian person builds a company and they grew up around Asians then the company will reflect that life. Insert any culture into the previous statement and it still rings true. The…
While analysts continue to speak of the demise of performance running and espouse that brands should move towards a more casual line of footwear, one of the most powerful groups in footwear and apparel has acquired a technical performance running company and added it to their portfolio. VF Corp owns Vans, North Face and Timberland…
Venice Beach is legendary in basketball. If you’ve ever seen “White Men Can’t Jump” then you’ve seen one of the many courts at Venice. Q4 Sports will be sponsoring the Venice Beach League this year so it’s an exciting opportunity to get in with a dope new basketball brand.
Source: ADIDAS ASSEMBLES A TEAM OF THE WORLD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL CREATORS FROM ACROSS SPORT CULTURE TO PROVE CREATIVITY IS THE ANSWER In the process of responding to a comment on LinkedIn about how important the World Cup will be to the brands, I realized that adidas had launched their first “real” campaign of the year….
photo via Soccer365 In 2014 Nike grew soccer sales to 2.4 Billion which rivaled the brand sales in basketball and equaled adidas’ sales in soccer. 2014 just so happens to be the year the World Cup took off like a rocket in North America. I remember sitting in my office across the street from…
Project + Exec is a new series where I’ve decided to seek out footwear executives who are minorities (Black, Latino, Indian, Native American, Asian men and women) who are doing some dope work, but are being overlooked by the larger media outlets. It’s my small part. I really hope you look more into the brands…
The Cavs looked to steal one from the Warriors in last night’s game but fell just short. LeBron dropped a cool 51 in a new XV, but this version of a LB Retro dropped to commemorate a young 2007 LBJ running off 25 straight points to help lead an undermanned Cavs team towards the finals….
This is easily the flyest Vapormax colorway I’ve seen and I hate the color red. This shoe pops in all of the right ways. The subtle starting blocks on the tongue to the hidden checkered flag insole the Moc Vapormax is a standout on looks alone.
Nike has to be using the Kyrie as a takedown model team shoe as it releases colorways that don’t appear to have anything to do with where Kyrie is playing. This shoe looks like a match for the Timberwolves white uniforms. It’s a clean look, but just doesn’t make sense unless Kyrie is being traded…
Another Air Max 270 in what I’m calling the Lakers Alternate colorway. The all black with pops of magenta and yellow creates a pair that would match nicely with a Sparks or Lakers jersey. The shoe arrives with the Max Air heel cushion, engineered mesh and Nike Hyperfuse tech.

The Pull Tab Pack features the 95 and 97 with a distinctive pull tab stitched up the front of the tongue. The colorway is timely as it has a bit of 4th of July element ot the design, and it is definitely stylish.

Roger Federer has been one of the greatest tennis players of this era. His skill and accomplishments are often celebrated by Jordan Brand with some of the dopest fusions made by Nike. The most famous of course is this Zoom Vapor RF x AJ3 mash up. The shoe takes the best performance tennis shoe and…
The Nike Kyrie 4 is releasing in a lot of colors which gives it the feel of a team shoe vs a signature model. With Kyrie’s injuries, this is a smart strategy especially with the price point. This shoe though didn’t look blue to me hence the Pitch Blue designation. The shoe has a…
The Vapormax Cushion arrives in a slightly cheaper model. The CS features nubuck and mesh overlays in the upper giving those who just don’t want to pay the extra 15 for Flyknit an option for picking up a pair of Nike trainers with Vapormax tech.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro has a lot of small details that can be checked to verify authenticity. This video hit 10 minutes and I was still yapping so I let it cut me off, lol. Pay close attention to your UPC and match with your show size UPC. The box doesn’t have a QC…
This Vapormax dropped last year and without laces costs 10 dollars more? Without the security of a lockdown fit provided by laces, it seems this model should have cost less than 190. The shoe features Flyknit and an elastic strap forming a tighter fit over the instep. The obvious benefit is ease of putting the…
The Mid is often overlooked when it comes to the Jordan Brand line. You can find the shoe marked down and on sale, but every now and then the line features a shoe that is just as eye catching as the OG High. This “Chicago” themed colorway comes with an extra set of laces…
I had to look up if this pair belonged to Moses Malone or Dr. J. When Julius “The Doctor” Errrvvviiiinnnggggg joined the 76ers he was in his 30s after playing for the Nets of the ABA. He was still a high flyer and basically was Michael Jordan before Jordan. His jumps from the free…
Nike released far too many colorways of the Uptempo which is good for collectors but bad for resale. The Uptempo was highly coveted, but now you can find pairs sitting at retail and below retail. While they do still sell out in some colors this spring ready OG white with the red outline should…
The classic Black/Volt and White colorway arrives to the updated Air Max TN style featuring Vapormax on the outsole. The difference between these models and true VM pairs is that the OG upper creates a chunkier look due to the extra midsole of the original shoe design. Do you want me to carry more…
Restock would imply something had to produced again and shipped out. That’s not exactly true. Restock here is like a store intentionally holding to some kicks that have a high demand and releasing them at a later date. This is the exact same shoe as last year. Which I understand, but really want the…
