Nike and Kobe have made an effort to keep me confused. Every release since Kobe retired is named AD. Sometimes with periods, sometimes without, sometimes with NXT, sometimes with 360… the takedown models are called Rage and the OG models are Protro but at 140.00 this Kobe A.D. hits a lot of marks in the…
As the sneaker culture gets a bit older and more mature we all have to add kicks to our closets that allow us to go to work in a more stylish and comfortable manner. Cole Haan is always in rotation in my casual wear. This model features a cushioned ride with rubber lugs placed in…
The UA Valsetz, one of most trusted tactical boots for the streets and men & women in uniform across the world, has been reimagined across two colorways releasing today. @UASportyle #Pioneer @chinobraxton is the face of the exclusive retail release with @DTLRVILLA.

The Legacy 312 designed by Don C is a fusion that takes three models worn by Jordan early in his career and creates a new take on the classics. The shoe features premium leather and the classic cues from the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 1 and the Alpha Force Low (yep Jordan wore those…
The Melo Class of 2002 became more popular because Nike pulled the men’s model from shelves because of glue defects. My partner at Housakicks, Tayib, wrote a really good article on why he thinks Jordan pulled the shoes. Visit Housakicks to read why Nike probably did this when there have been so many defects on…
The Jeter 11 Low celebrates the Captain and his amazing career. The shoe features a premium, rich suede with square leather laces. A traditional set of round laces are included and the milky, translucent outsole is eye catching. It’s a nice shoe, but an all blue shoe becomes difficult to style unless you have the…
The Raptor 4s have been talked about for their quality and defects. I found this pair to be flawless. The suede feels premium and the leather tongue patch is a nice addition. If there is any problem it’s the bump to 200 bucks for no apparent reason as the leather tongue patch costs nothing. The…
Full disclosure, I do not sell on the GOAT App and you know what? I hate that I don’t. Those of you who visit the site know that I build the majority of my research on the sales I attain in the third party marketplace. I utilize a micro to macro approach and in doing…
Right now Puma has taken the effort to put some of their weight behind Meek Mill’s upcoming album via a collaboration with Foot Locker. Meek is kind of hot right now since getting out of prison and advocating for prison reform. He settled his beef with Drake and has put on some amazing performances. BUT…
The last two Kyrie releases featured the advertising genius of Nike on full display. For the 3 we had a Questlove and Kyrie virtuoso performance to introduce the kicks. The 4 once again incorporated a musical fast paced classical and jazz inspired video. This year Kyrie is returning to the Celtics after they made a…
Jordan Brand has been recreating the numbered line with their Flyknit tech and it hasn’t been going very well. The Jordan 1 has been reduced in price and the Retro 6 version isn’t even called a Retro at all. While it’s interesting to reissue the models with a modern upper, it would have been much…
The 11th signature for KD is the sleekest looking design yet. Featuring a Primeknit upper with Hyperfused overlays and Zoom and React in the midsole the shoe arrives in stealth like grey with a nubuck heel counter.

Although I’m not a fan of the .5 updates in signature sneakers, I’m also not a fan of the release of 20 colorways in signature, this update to the PG 2 makes sense. The midfoot strap on the PG1 was confining, but it didn’t need to be removed, it needed to be updated. The PG2.5…
adidas is recapturing the NMD flavor from two years ago. They have dropped a series of R1s in great colorways and at the 130 price. This shoe features the all over print of the trademark slogan “The Brand With 3 Stripes” This black and white version [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=adidas+NMD+R1+S76519+Black%2FWhite&categoryId1=11450&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337944803&toolid=10039&customid=nmdtmblk&listingType1=All&feedType=rss&lgeo=1″ items=”7″]
One half of what I label the Trademark Pack, this new NMD features “The Brand With 3 Stripes” slogan found on every box for adidas footwear. The slogan arrives in four languages, German, English, French and Japanese (check me on that, lol). The trademark slogan is printed from the toebox to the midfoot where the…
The LeBron Watch delivered shoes that paid homage to sneakers Nike released throughout the years. One of the most important shoes to ever drop was the Air Diamond Turf. During the 90s Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders basically created a new category because of their play in both the NFL and in MLB. As cross…
LeBron Watch an exclusive in-app feature from Nike that launched during the 2017-2018 NBA Season. Whenever LeBron was spotted during a game wearing an exclusive colorway of his XV, you could purchase that colorway for a limited period of time. One of the more popular colors of LeBron Watch was the Air Max Griffey inspired…
Nike may be moving towards the 16, but they are still dropping summer inspired colorways of the XV Low. This model has a bit of that South Beach flavor, but falls in line with the Melon releases that arrived throughout the summer. The shoe features cool grey Battleknit with pops of teal and pink. [ebayfeedsforwordpress…
Each year as LeBron heads towards the Playoffs he changes shoes from his signature line to the battle ready Soldier. This model features lockdown straps and a breathable upper. It is more lightweight, but features Zoom Cushioning for a faster response.

There were a lot of PG1s released and this created a glut. The shoe began to sit and now you can find the first signature for PG at half off of the already cheap retail price. This version is perfect again for Pacers fans, which doesn’t make sense, but I’m sure Pirates, Penguins, Iowa State,…
adidas has Consortium and the number of collabs flowing through that division very rarely reach the regular sneaker buying public. They are always limited and usually go straight to the kids with the fastest bots or the best connects. If you’ve been following this site for at least a year, you know that I said…
The Air Jordan Legacy designed by Don C features three models worn by MJ at the beginning of his career: Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3 and the Alpha Force Low. This version mimics the classic Toro Red colorway from Jordan Brand and is perfect for the upcoming Fall weather.
