The Kyrie 6 takes direct inspiration from the Yeezy 2. The shoe has been out for over two months, but the results are mixed in sales. None of the models are moving very quickly at retail and it may be that Kyrie has missed a lot of this season and in his absence the Nets…

Nike created N.354 collection to modify a variety of classic footwear from the Swoosh. The collection features the AF-1, Huarache and this Drop, which is a classic tennis shoe model. The N.354 takes the classic and adds additional support features and minute details that blend old tech with a more modern feature from the 2001…
Nike joined forces with Netflix’s Stranger Things in Season 3. What was born was a series of Nike throwback sneakers from that time period that featured distinctive design elements representing elements of the popular sci-fi series. Shoes from the pack were Cortez and Blazers that captured elements of the Upside Down, Starcourt Mall and Hawkins…
The original basketball shoe from Nike arrives in a vintage release that looks like the original version including the light orange Nike logo box. The shoe features suede at the toebox and on the lateral sidewall to give the shoe more structure and stability. The NIKE print at the heel definitely feels vintage and while…
This is a very quick video of the Wheat/Timberland inspired Air Force 1 High. The model has become an annual release from Nike and features the classic wheat colorway of the Timbs boot. While the shoe isn’t winterized it make a great option for the cold fall and winter months.

The weatherized Air Force 1 arrives in a variety of shapes. There is the Lunar Duckboot and other options have shown up over the years. This version is a co-branded Gore-Tex lined, waterproof version with a pop of orange at the heel and on the tongue. The waxed leather and heavy canvas is ready for…
For the second year Jordan Brand introduced a triple black version of one of their classic retro shoes for the “Class Of” to rock instead of having to wear dress shoes. The first model was the 11 and the next was the 13. While the 11 remains coveted, the 13 has hit clearance racks. It’s…
The What The concept has become a staple in Nike’s annual drops. For the first time the style arrives on the Air Jordan 4 and the outcome is a bit underwhelming. From a distance the shoe looks like a normal Retro 4. The details aren’t clear until you are close enough to see the heel…
The Tinker designed Air Jordan 3 remains one of the classics in sneaker culture. Nike decided to pull the sketches that Tinker did to design the original from the Vault and release them in their original form. The result is a premium build that retains Nike branding throughout the upper for an interesting take on…
The Jordan 2 was the beginning of luxury for Nike. The shoe featured a premium build and looked like nothing ever created for basketball. The made in Italy design removed the overt bold Swoosh in favor of a minimalist approach. This retro version was supposed to celebrate Black History Month. Instead the lazy design led…
At the start of this video I had a WTF attitude about the Cargo 1. By the end of the video, when I took a closer look at the Cargo 1, I felt like it could be a sleeper. The shoe has a few very interesting details added to the classic retro package.

The Air Jordan 14 arrives in a new premium version moving the price from 190 to 200. Is it justified? In this case it is. Unlike the previous SE “Ferrari” version that features in all leather upper, this version takes carbon fiber print throughout the flame design, a blacked out 23 tire pattern and a…
The Season of Her Air Jordan 1 collection featured satin and suede, but it rang up at 145 and arrived in colors that were a bit redundant. The collection was still nice, but the shoes for women that have arrived since then have been game changers. While this SE version of the Mid isn’t a…
The Bloodline (named for the strip of red nubuck under the edge of the folds of leather on the upper) should be labeled Flight because of the statement on the insole and shoe strings: Who Said Man Wasn’t Meant to Fly The shoe feels redundant and this is evident in that as a Black Friday…
The Vapormax Run Utility is an all weather trainer that has a 360 degrees of reflectivity for the early fall and winter nights when you try to get a few miles in. The shoe features a toggle lacing system and ripstop nylon with heat sealed sections for a waterproof pair of Nike’s most cushioned shoe….
The Puma RS Series takes a classic Puma running shoe and brings it into the modern era via a variety of colorways that have made Puma one of the hottest brands in the last two years. The classic running system cushion isn’t made for training, but it is definitely made to get sneaker enthusiasts a…
The KD 12 continues to roll out of the Swoosh although KD won’t see an NBA floor this season. This colorway features a winter ready blue tint and pops of white with a translucent blue glaze outsole. I question whether Nike should be dropping kicks for injured players especially since they have had time to…
The flagship trainer from adidas has been updated with a 360 degree Primeknit conatinment and reinforced weave at the toebox and throughout the upper. The shoe features BOOST cushion and a reconfigured heel counter. This triple black colorway features a painted midsole with a pop of solar orange in the Torsion bar in the midsole….
I visited Nike’s News site to read about the Pendleton x N7 collection released this fall. The information was very insightful and helped to take this release from the realm of commodifying Native American culture to celebrating the heritage of the various nations through design.

Is it possible to make a 100 dollar sneakerboot that captures the classic retro vibe of suede trainers and is rugged enough for light work on the trails? I didn’t think so, but I’ve been wearing the Alpine for about a month now and my only complaint is that it isn’t as stable as I’d…
The OBJ 720 is the best use of the Max Air cushion I’ve seen on any release. It’s price at 200.00 is always a bit much, but it is one of the few Nike drops to utilize suede and leather with multiple overlays and panels that feature 3M. To top it off the comfort is…
