This is part 1 of 2 for the Vapormax 2020 Flyknit featuring the men’s and women’s version of the latest release of Vapormax from Nike. The shoe features a FastFit lacing system and the model is a part of Nike’s Sustainability initiative, ‘Move to Zero’. It’s definitely needed as Nike produces more shoes than any…
Source: All Collaborations I was in a sneaker store a few days ago and one of the sales leads asked me why I hardly wear Jordans, although I buy so many shoes. He was looking at my COMUNITYmade City Discovery custom shoe and in so many words he said, “you don’t dress like an old…

The LeBron 17 arrived in this bold white and black colorway and I’ve labeled it the Sheriff. On the insole is a badge and I think it means that there is a new sheriff in town for Los Angeles. The shoe features a perforated upper with woven mesh and hits of gold throughout the upper….
The KD13 Home colorway looks like confetti on the outsole and around the color of the shoe. The upper is primarily a ripstop with crosshatched lines creating a grid. The shoe features a full length air strobel with Zoom at the forefoot and a double stacked unit in the heel. Buy on eBay Buy on…

The KD13 didn’t see the floor on the actual man, but they were on the feet of a lot of players in the extended NBA season of 2019 – 2020. KD’s Brooklyn Nets played better without Kyrie, so the fact that Nike had two signature players who didn’t play this season with shoes that didn’t…
Nike’s second version of their Epic React wasn’t well received. The shoe sat on shelves, but that’s because the React cushion on the Epic doesn’t really breakdown so I’m still wearing my first pairs. It was almost pointless for a redesign, even with the small updates the differences aren’t that noticeable. The market made the…

The Epic React 2 is the next edition of Nike’s first “running” product using React. When the first model arrived I stopped wearing NMDs and picked up a few colorways. I still wear those today. I did some running in the shoe, but ultimately stopped because it shifted too much during sprints. I still wear…

The Air Max 90 Recraft series started with a bang as Nike delivered each color in a classic color coded Nike box. Later models have reverted to the red Nike Sportswear box, but they have kept the color coded hangtag and shoe arch supports. Most of the versions releasing now share the same color description…
Source: CASBIA I’ve admired CASBIA from across the waters for a while now. I haven’t pulled the trigger, but I’m awfully close. As a matter of fact, CLAE, CASBIA, Clearweather, COMUNITYmade and Brandblack are pushing me to reconsider my concept of sneaker retail and whether a shop can survive without Nike. These smaller brands utilize…

Source: Inclusion & Diversity On July 8th, I wrote a harsh report on Timberland’s lack of diversity and what I thought was a continuation of brands benefiting from the Black and Brown dollar, while failing to work with and hire BIPOC into their workplace.
