Originally posted on Housakicks The word boost can be literally labeled as the most abused word of the year 2016. The Adidas boost technology has revolutionized comfort and cushioning in lifestyle and running shoes. This week alone, the brand has released a total of 8 different colorways of the Ultra Boost 3.0. While the UB and…
Originally posted on Housakicks I have no idea why JB even bothers to bring back another irrelevant retro, the Air Jordan 15 XV Obsidian. We all know how shunned the Jordan 15 model is within the Sneaker Community. I’d rather they bring back the ginger 16, or the black and royal 18, instead of these hideous models that…
Originally posted on Housakicks Shoes more than often will look a lot better in certain colorways than others. Such is the case with the UA Curry 3 Copper 3M; I have written a whole lot about the Curry 3 than any other signature shoes since last month. The shoes are definitely growing on me with the…
Originally posted on Housakicks Some of my good friends are going to love this new colorway of the UA Curry 3; for some odd reason, the group I’m referring to is infatuated with black and white shoes. Don’t ask me why, because I couldn’t give you an answer. Many blogs are going around talking about how awful…
Originally posted on Housakicks A series of Jordan retros released earlier this week, but the Space Jam 9 will be the highlight of the week end. The Jordan 31 Space jam also debut on Saturday December 3. JB debuted a new line of winterized sneakers built with a snug wool material since the month of October….
Originally posted on Housakicks The first week of December is already brimming with a lot of nifty sneakers; the battle of the leading brands ( Adidas and Nike) is fun to watch. This week , I think Adidas is stealing the spotlight with the release of myriad of Ultra boost sneakers. But Nike is still the…
Originally posted on Housakicks Jordan brand is unloading a string of luxurious sneakers for the holiday season; men’s get treated to the best releases but this year the kids and the ladies will be spoiled as well. The Air Jordan 11 Retro Heiress Red Velvet is especially dedicated to the ladies, and will release on December…
Originally posted on Housakicks Every time I hear the word “uptempo” , I get goose bumps; it takes me back to my childhood , the early 90’s, the golden era. I remember coveting my friend’s Air More Uptempo so much and was very upset because I couldn’t afford them. I grew up in Togo, and shoes like…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant dropped last week and did better than I thought; they haven’t completely sold out, but were met with a positive feedback. Yesterday, while picking up my black Friday orders, I had an interesting conversation with my local Champs’s manager. She told me of the multiple calls she…
Originally posted on Housakicks I hope every one of you had a great thanksgiving week; and this is the time of the year where most folks shop for Christmas. If you are a Sneaker Head, this is probably the best time to exercise wisdom. I have heard of many Nike outlets getting a restock of the…
Originally posted on Housakicks We are a few hours away from Black Friday; most people are gearing up for the frenzy and probably do most of their Christmas shopping now. I am an old man, and no longer rush to stores for steals; as a matter of fact, but rather specialize in finding those steals for…
Originally posted on Housakicks November could be easily labeled as the Sneaker Month of the year; several brands are battling to put a dent into our pockets. The selection of shoes releasing next week alone is really vast- Nike alone is releasing a gang of limited shoes. Then you have Adidas who is still riding the…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Adidas Ultra Boost & NMD’s have pretty much stolen the show this year as it pertains to running shoes- the secret behind the success of both of these runners is the boost technology: a responsive soft cushioning that makes you feel like you are walking on clouds. But right behind the…
Originally posted on Housakicks The selection of sneakers available for the Footlocker week of greatness is massive. Most sneaker enthusiasts are only aiming for either Yeezy’s or the Dr Doom Foamposite. Other notable sneakers releasing during the week are the Nike Kobe AD and the Jordan 3 True Blue. A new colorway of James Harden’s first…
Originally posted on Housakicks The safest place to buy a legitimate product is from an authorized retailer. The fake sneakers’s nightmare usually occurs when a shoe sells out instantly upon release. People turn to third party merchants, and some of these sellers are notorious for carrying fakes. Well today, I’m doing a comparison between a fake pair…
Originally posted on Housakicks The most talked about release of the year is the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam; but JB has been given us a foretaste of the 2017 line up. The Air Jordan 11 Retro Wool Grey is the new addition to the “AJ 11” model , and will see the light next year….
Originally posted on Housakicks We are about four weeks away from the release of the #45 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam; over the last month and a half, I have shared a great deal of information on early pairs that have flooded the internet. We went through something similar back in 2011 when the Jordan 11 Concord…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Black Mamba is no longer an active player in the NBA but his legacy lives on; early on in his career, Kobe was an Adidas athlete. His stint with Adidas was very short mainly because Kobe himself wasn’t too fond of the shoes; Kobe left Adidas in the early 200o’s, and…
Originally posted on Housakicks Oh boy, just when I thought Steph was having a quiet season, I wake up this morning with my news feed saturated with his record breaking performance flicks against the Pelicans of Anthony Davis. Today is Election Day, shouldn’t folks be concerned with who becomes our President for the next four years?…
Originally posted on Housakicks It seems like it has been a recurring thing now for Nike to keep changing the original release date of its sneakers- first it was the Cyber Monday 3 and now the Nike Air Foamposite One XX OG Royal. The Royal Foamposite were originally dropped in 1997 for Penny Hardaway, a then…
Originally posted on Housakicks NMD’s fans will be treated to the brand’s latest collaboration with well known sneaker boutique Packer Shoes. The Adidas Consortium x Packer NMD Runner PK BB5051 literally takes you back to the mid 80’s and 90’s era- if you grew up watching TV shows like ” In Living Color”, if you were…
Originally posted on Housakicks Companies make moves sometimes that will make you scratch your head; I really don’t know what Jordan Brand was thinking when they decided to bring the Air Jordan XV 15 Stealth back. These and the XX2 are by far the most shunned sneakers in the Jordan Collection. The 15’s were supposedly inspired by…
