The sneakerhead community is often considered an isolated, niche market, a bunch of pimply faced, teenage boys who go to conventions to barter, buy and trade. The reality is this, sneaker culture began in the 70s when B-Boys began taking shoes created for basketball to break, or simply to get fresh. Those same boys…

This shoe is black and orange. I have no idea why Nike decided to list only the Swoosh color and upper color. The outsole features green speckles and orange. In this video I explain why I think the design could be contributing to Kyrie’s injuries. The materials are suede and mesh.
This is almost a Triple White version of the 97. A grey Swoosh is embroidered on the medial and lateral sides of the shoes in the mesh section. The rest of the shoe features leather and the classic wave design of the 97.
This version of the retro inspired Air Max 97 is a perfect blend for the alternative Miami Heat jerseys. The South Beach inspired colorway is eye catching and the max air cushioning provides a smooth ride with a stylish look.

The Kyrie 4 March Madness isn’t an official NCAA drop like the Kobe A.D., but it’s actually a nicer shoe. The upper features a snakeskin textured leather at the heel and toebox with a confetti styled outsole. The Swoosh is both reflective and translucent and at 120.00 it’s a great option.
The VaporMax has been a great shoe for Nike. The shoe is loaded with various Nike tech: Flywire, Hyperfuse, VaporMax and a Flyknit upper. This colorway pops with a Uni Red Swoosh.
While this shoe wasn’t released on Air Max Day (3/22) It is most definitely a part of those releases as it is the most premium version of the shoe released with nods to the retro influence via the magnetic strap which looks like the old school orange Nike box. This pair also includes a Nike…
Releasing 4 days before 3-26, this version of the 270 comes in white with pops of light blue.As a nod to the celebration of Air Max Day by Nike, the insole is lined with all of the logos from the Air Max legacy.
