Originally posted on Housakicks You’d think by now Jordan Brand will totally do away with releasing senseless sneakers. Nike CEO Mark Parker said in an interview, The last thing we want, is to be a big dumb company that feels we can put a swoosh on something and people will buy that.” But it seems as if the…
Originally posted on Housakicks I don’t have any background story on the DJ Khaled Air Jordan 3 Grateful, and frankly I didn’t try to find out what motivated JB to do a project with him. As you can see I’m not very fond of the guy but I do respect his accomplishments. His upcoming Jordan 3 Grateful…
Originally posted on Housakicks Adidas is not Nike’s biggest thorn like most people think. As a matter of fact both brands have a common enemy: the counterfeiters. And if you don’t believe me, just take a look at how many fake items are currently being unloaded on eBay on a daily basis and you’ll understand, see…

Here is the arch video for the Bred 13: Subscribe to arch on YT Originally posted on Housakicks The fake pairs of the Bred 13 have been out for months now but without the backdrop of the retail pairs, pointing out the flaws on the replicas is complicated. The last thing I want to do is…
Originally posted on Housakicks I can’t recall the last time I purchased a personal pair of Jordan Retro.

Originally posted on Housakicks The Air Jordan 3 black cement is making a return next year in its OG features- the “Nike air ” logo on the back. Ever since the white cement 3 “88” came back with the “Nike air” logo, JB has been teasing us with rumors of a potential return of the…
Originally posted on Housakicks This article was birthed out of my frustration with the lack of common sense some of us display at times. But i don’t want to sound arrogant and condescending because people ask questions because they are genuinely looking for answers. A few days ago, an individual in a sneaker group posted a…
Originally posted on Housakicks I haven’t done any “Real Vs Fake” comparison in a while partly because I’ve been quite busy with other contingencies. The moratorium is now over and today we’ll take a look at the Fake Air Jordan 2 UNC I came across a few days ago. Again it’s hard to do a comparison…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Air Jordan 6 Gatorade is the embodiment of what happens when a brand runs out of creative ideas. I’m still wondering whether Nike’s CEO “edit and amplify” is still in full effect. Do I think these Gatorade 6 will sell out? I will answer with a confident “NO” and my evidence…

Originally posted on Housakicks Big T Customs has to be feeling honored right now seeing a major company like Jordan Brand launching a shoe that basically was inspired by his 2015 AJ 5 custom.

Originally posted on Housakicks I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a pair of Jordan Retro; I’m usually very critical of Jordan Brand for the ridiculous colorways they have dropped but this upcoming Air Jordan 13 Olive is a “must have”.

Originally posted on Housakicks As much as Nike talks about the edit and amplify strategy, the brand has yet to actually really implement it. The amount of boring, dull and unexciting colorways of Jordan Retros that have dropped lately testify to what I’m saying . The Jordan 13 low “pure money” is already on sale for…
