#4 Adidas Y-3 Qasa High Dark Green images via Packer This is an homage to the forefather of simple footwear movement. Y-3 was there before the Roshe and is the forefather of the NMD and Yeezy. It still remains one of the dopest shoes on the market. The difference between the other shoes listed and…
#15 Saucony 5000 Chocolate Pack images via Saucony There are moments when you can’t choose between the blue or the white shoe in your closet, so you grab the brown and just roll.

#24 Adidas Bodega x END Patchwork Pack Iniki adidas may have tailed off at the end of 2017, but over the course of the last year there were some instant classics. While many aren’t fond of kicks with denim, I love the detail. I actually made an entire series of ARCH shoes from suede and…
#39 – CRDWN Wasson – Silver images via CRDWN A Cordwainer is a person who makes shoes from leather. With the abundance of shoes being promoted today at ridiculous prices for knit material, I like the idea that a brand is attempting to bring leather and premium materials to their fans. Like when I made…
images via KITH, size? and brand websites The compilation of anything is difficult. You have to be acutely aware of more brands than the average person. The list has to try and not be biased, which is impossible, and the reason you’ve chosen shoes has to be clear or the list is just something you…
Source: ADIDAS ORIGINALS PROPHERE The Prophere reminds me of the Tim Duncan Commander and the Chauncey Billups Speedcut in the placement of the chunky stripes and the bulky outsole.

I was reading a post and a series of tweets from a prominent sneaker analyst (Matt Powell of NPD Group) who stated that the sneaker industry is suffering from too much information about releases being available. The analyst also stated that the scarcity model is the reason why sneaker retail was once so dominant. The…

I’ve stopped writing a lot of Should You Buy To Flip? articles because we are in a different economy now and flipping, like the housing bubble bursting in 2008, has basically popped. Unless you’re grabbing shoes at way below retail, flipping is dead. What I’m doing now is taking a minute to visit the sneaker…
Originally posted on Housakicks In this world that we live in, seldom are the things that can stand the test of time. The Word of God embodied in what is commonly known as the Bible has stood the test of time. A few other things have been able to achieve its great success. Talk to anyone in the…
Originally posted on Housakicks If there is one thing Nike has always excelled in, it would be innovation.

And in most instances, those products make a transition from the athletes to the general public. Adidas…

Source: Reebok News Stream : Feel the Floatride The Floatride is 150.00 dollars. It is by far the most expensive release from Reebok in the last few years. I haven’t had a chance to see the shoe in person, so I can’t speak on whether it fits the bill of performance footwear and actually serves…

Originally posted on Housakicks Nike might have finally found a shoe to regain some momentum in the lifestyle market; the brand has really had a hard time competing against the Adidas NMD’s.

Originally posted on Housakicks This is now getting comical and ridiculous; Adidas is milking the heck out of the NMD & boost.
