Source: Nike SNKRS. Release Dates & Launch Calendar Something so simple as building a subsite to feature upcoming releases and then turning that website into an app has been one of the biggest reasons for success for the Swoosh and their Consumer Direct Acceleration. As Nike develops their sneakers, and they develop a ton of…
Another sneaker at the 100 and under price for Nike. The Waffle One blends elements of the original Waffle trainer by Nike with a modern aesthetic pulled from the collaborative effort between Nike and Sacai. Nike drops a TPU molded heel structure to create a more elevated appearance, but this shoe is definitely built more…
Timberland is no longer the dominant force in Hip-Hop that it once was. Styles change over time and brands relying on staple footwear can find themselves looking back at the good old says and hoping that heritage and nostalgia will drive engagement and interest. Timberland doesn’t have a retail store in this region, so what…
photo via Hoka One One The seasons are changing and with that comes the perfect morning running weather. When the fall arrives putting in a mile or two in the a.m. is much easier to do. One of the most difficult aspects of beginning a running routine is convincing people that the heat won’t hurt…
The Hasta colorway of the Air Max Pre-Day LX combines nostalgia with innovation for Nike Sportswear. The shoe celebrates Steve Prefontaine and uses a blend of materials with a classic feel, and throwback logos and branding.
If you’re like me, you met John Boyega in the film Attack the Block. The young Denzel look alike commandeered attention from the onset of the movie. Since then he has grown into an amazing actor starring in blockbuster films, but most recently his work in smaller roles have stuck with me. In the Netflix…

Their latest collection named “Character of College” looks like it’s ready…
Not all retros are of basketball sneakers and Jordans. Nike is beginning to pull from its training category and release sneakers that are only ten years old. The Free Run was revolutionary in the use of a segmented outsole that allowed the foot to move naturally. The upper consisted of a sock-like fit with nubuck…
Hoops season is right around the corner and the squeak on gym floors can be heard as ballers prepare for a year with fans back in gyms (hopefully). When I coached, I had to find sneakers that were both functional and cost effective. My players’ families didn’t have a lot of cash, so we couldn’t…

Source: The Black Fives Collection | PUMA The Black Fives became known to me when Nike made a shoe celebrating the team over ten years ago. Nike didn’t really do a great job of storytelling. The shoes were placed on clearance when an owner of an Athlete’s Foot closed his store and combined the sneakers…
Ambush creates some of the wildest collabs with Nike in all of footwear. This model from a distance looks like a loud traditional Dunk. When you get closer and see all of the TPU molding at the heel and the extended Swoosh applications on the medial and lateral side, you find that the Ambush version…

Like that epic middle school food fight you won’t soon for Source: Shadow 6000 Food Fight At the start of the year, I wrote a post stating Saucony seemed to be standing in quicksand. I proposed the brand’s chase after youth…
The Air More Uptempo seems to be out of the vault for good. It has arrived in an abundance of colors. This version is nicknamed the Peace, Love and Swoosh. It popped for a moment, but is now back at retail. The shoe has a white base with a colorful print on the AIR logo….

In another case of the brand bootlegging the bootlegger, Jordan Brand drops this pain splatter Mid 1. I don’t know if it’s me or my eyes, but the Swoosh looks a lot like the I Never Heard of You F Off Swoosh from their Jordan 1. I put a picture in the video as a…
picture from Native Shoes who created a program called Remix to help recycle footwear I tend to stay away from the mainstream discussions happening on sneaker sites and in sneaker media. If you’ll scroll down the homepage of this site and browse through the site, you’ll see a diverse array of stories on the sneaker…
The arrival of inventory is slow due to the supply chain disruptions and manufacturing shut downs in countries where footwear production takes place. This will shape retail throughout the holiday season. While many of the coveted sneakers have already arrived and will be available, those shoes tend to be in the high to premium price…
I spent a lot of time on this shoe because to me it represents where Jordan Brand can potentially land in molding the next generation of fans of the brand. The Point Lane was the surprising resale model of September for me. That has since died down and the shoe takes a bit longer to…
Undoubtedly, if Nike released a ton of Nike Dunk or Air Jordan 1 High OG and they were readily accessible to the public (they’d be snatched up by resellers), those two shoes would have dominated the list. All hyped releases are dropped via raffles which means you would have to literally visit stores every day…
