Originally posted on Housakicks For some odd reason I like the Nike Kobe AD NXT triple black ( I’m still not scooping up a pair though). I guess certain colors have a way of hiding the hideous aesthetic of a shoe. I think this is the case with this triple black NXT; they are set to release…
Originally posted on Housakicks While many people think the AF1 has died out, Nike keep putting out some of the ingratiating colorways of the shoes I’ve ever seen. Today I bring you the Air Force 1 One Low 3M Iridescent 718152 019. The shoes feature a three layer synthetic iridescent 3M reflective upper. The customary Nike logo will…
Originally posted on Housakicks The multi colored Nike Flyknit Racer 2.0 released on Friday April 7 and didn’t perform as well as I thought it would ( walk in any local malls or check Finishline and the other major online retailers and full size runs of the racers are still available). I’m not surprised though; last…
Originally posted on Housakicks For once, I’ve seen a pair of foams that caught my eye; Nike is supposedly planning to release the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Black Metallic Gold sometimes in October. It makes perfect sense for the brand to twist things up a little bit for the 20th anniversary of the foam line. I wouldn’t…
Originally posted on Housakicks With the return of classic 90’s basketball shoes like the Uptempos, it’s only right for Nike to resurrect the Nike Air Shake NDESTRUKT. They were worn by one of the most eccentric player in the league, loved by some , despised by many for his opponents mainly because of his relentless activity on…
Originally posted on Housakicks This past Saturday, As I was picking up the Royal 1, I spotted the Nike Kobe AD NXT Volt & Grey on the HOH exclusive room and wanted to get a closer look at them. I’m still neither fascinated by the story behind the shoes nor impressed with the aesthetic. The one thing…
Originally posted on Housakicks The kobe AD’s aren’t doing that well to begin with; I was disappointed with my own personal pair which I sold three days after purchasing them. The cushioning on the shoes was great but there was no way I could play in them. They were very narrow and the flywire cables made…
Originally posted on Housakicks While men are looking forward to the Asia Red Uptempo, the ladies are also getting treated to the Nike Air More Uptempo GS Black Pink 415082 003, releasing on Saturday April 1st. The shoes come in a black and pink color combination and feature a perforated soft leather material with full grain leather…
Originally posted on Housakicks A majority of sneakerheads could be easily compared to cult followers; once they get sold to a certain idea, it’s hard to shift their thought process. Nike took a bit too long to counter Adidas & the boost technology that has fully infiltrated the sneaker community. Those styrofoam-like visible beads give Adidas…
Originally posted on Housakicks If there is one thing I appreciate about Nike’s brand, it’s their willingness to get the consumers and athletes involved in the engineering of their products. The Lebron soldier 10 is already one of the most utilized performance shoes in the NBA. I picked up a bad habit of constantly looking at…
Originally posted on Housakicks For the nth time, the Nike Air Foamosite One Eggplant is making another return. They first made their way unto the scene in 2009 and were an instant classic. The eggplant has already been re introduced three times at least since its original debut. They will come in the usual durable foam…
Nike has always been at the forefront of athletic performance. Now, it’s also a leader in thoughtful design, and it’s become a fetishized pop culture fixation with everyone from sneakerheads to Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons.

Originally posted on Housakicks Adidas is cruising right now when it comes to casual/running/lifestyle sneakers; and I mean literally cruising.. Every shoe of theirs has been slapped with their revolutionary boost midsole. They have completely disrupted the running/casual/lifestyle market and other brands have yet to give Adidas a serious challenge. Nike is still the most dominant…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Foamposite copper is officially coming back on April 17, and you can bet that they will be mass produced. I remember picking up a pair in 2009 and the whole event was a fiasco- by the time 8 am hit on the cold morning, there was a parade outside the mall…
Originally posted on Housakicks I got up this morning and headed to the mall to pick up a pair of the Black Air max uptempo, and sitting on the display case was the Nike PG1 Ferocity the Bait. I was debating whether to pick them up or not and finally decided to buy them for my “on…
Forty years of design and innovation for women continues to get better with favored items in more sizes and colors than ever. Source: The Nike Plus Size Collection There has always been an approach to athletics and fitness that disregarded bigger women when the reality is that most women wear a 16 not a 10….
Originally posted on Housakicks I guess Nike finally heard our lament and finally decided to bring back the “Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Asia Hoop Red”. Great was my elation yesterday when I found out the men’s sizes were making a return on April 7. I responded with the it’s about darn time I never actually…
Originally posted on Housakicks My good friend Chris from ARCH has been talking about Nike’s ability to retain its position as the leading brand in the sneaker world in many of his articles . And he always points to this one thing the brand does well – the capacity to create such a great experience for…
