In the turbulent times of 2020, everyone seems to be looking for a way to protest or speak out; whether it be for equality, representation or justice.

The KD13 didn’t see the floor on the actual man, but they were on the feet of a lot of players in the extended NBA season of 2019 – 2020. KD’s Brooklyn Nets played better without Kyrie, so the fact that Nike had two signature players who didn’t play this season with shoes that didn’t…
Nike’s second version of their Epic React wasn’t well received. The shoe sat on shelves, but that’s because the React cushion on the Epic doesn’t really breakdown so I’m still wearing my first pairs. It was almost pointless for a redesign, even with the small updates the differences aren’t that noticeable. The market made the…

The Epic React 2 is the next edition of Nike’s first “running” product using React. When the first model arrived I stopped wearing NMDs and picked up a few colorways. I still wear those today.

The Air Max 90 Recraft series started with a bang as Nike delivered each color in a classic color coded Nike box. Later models have reverted to the red Nike Sportswear box, but they have kept the color coded hangtag and shoe arch supports. Most of the versions releasing now share the same color description…

Source: CASBIA I’ve admired CASBIA from across the waters for a while now. I haven’t pulled the trigger, but I’m awfully close. As a matter of fact, CLAE, CASBIA, Clearweather, COMUNITYmade and Brandblack are pushing me to reconsider my concept of sneaker retail and whether a shop can survive without Nike. These smaller brands utilize…

Source: Inclusion & Diversity On July 8th, I wrote a harsh report on Timberland’s lack of diversity and what I thought was a continuation of brands benefiting from the Black and Brown dollar, while failing to work with and hire BIPOC into their workplace. That post allowed for a door to be opened into the…

I could probably post an Air Force 1 video every day of the year. Nike rolls these pairs out so quickly that you would think they would run out of concepts, they don’t. This version features a suede, canvas and ripstop upper in a subtle grey and indigo colorway. The Swoosh is ventilated with…
