Adidas D Rose 4

*Image from nba.si.com**
These are the Adidas D Rose 4's. Let me start off by saying Adidas why do you cut your shoes so freaking tight?! I had to go up a full size to even consider the shoe comfortable. I love the look of it but the feel of the show still needs work. Now the shoe is still lightweight, and its synthetic upper keeps your feet cool and dry for the most part.


 Also, I'm shooting for variety in my blogs so yes in this current one I am bashing this shoe because it still needs some work. First it sucks for anyone who has a wide foot like me because I'll tell you what this shoe hugs your entire foot and yes it gives that secure feeling but it felt like I was going to lose circulation in my foot! In all Adidas open the shoe up a little more and I couldn't complain much after that.

Sc-Trainer "Bo-Jackson"

These are the Bo-Jackson you may recognize the name from that ever so famous saying "Bo Knows" But about the shoe it’s very versatile just like Bo himself. It was originally created for football practice and cross training, the Nike Air Trainer SC works well keeping your feet stable and cushioned in a wide variety of high-top profiles.


They're also equipped with Nike Air underneath. The eye-popping color contrasts and many different colors to choose from will set you apart from the crowd. Trust me there are color sets for everyone. Also, the padded collar is super comfortable and breathable too, and Waffle lugs on the sole take can conquer any surface in this lightweight, multi-use shoe.

Retro 11 "Cool Grey"

These are the Retro 11 "Cool Grey" This shoe has so much history is crazy so I’m going to give you guys a briefing to what’s behind this iconic shoe to start its designer Tinker Hatfield designed the Jordan XI and it featured patent leather for the first time on a basketball shoe. The upper was made of a polymer–coated, thin nylon ballistic mesh material. The collar and tongue were padded for max ankle comfort. The translucent outsole lay atop a full-length carbon fiber shank plate which provided extra spring.


The shoe also included a full-length Air-Sole unit for maximum cushioning. MJ wore the black/varsity royal/white version in the movie Space Jam. Jordan also wore the same "Air Jordan XI Space Jam" shoe in the NBA playoffs. Many Brand Jordan athletes wore the AJ XI over the years. Also recognize that while MJ was wearing the Air Jordan XI, he was elected an All-Star for the 10th time, the All-Star game MVP for the second time, scoring champion for the eighth time, and was again league MVP. The Bulls went on and won the NBA title for the fourth time, and as he was for the previous three championships, Jordan was again the Finals MVP.

These are the Nike Roshe Runs. Do not worry these are actually affordable and have become very popular very quick since their initial launch. The Roshe Run is a lightweight running performance shoe and a trendy casual shoe combined.

So if you are looking for a lightweight shoe that you can dress down with boom here's the shoe for you and they are so comfortable!

Air Yeezy

What you are looking at are the grails of all grails! I'm talking about the Air Yezzy of course! This shoe once sold for a whopping $90,300!! I mean if you have it why not spend it? Right? HECK no not for a pair of shoes I don't care who's name is on that shoe or designed by I will never in my life pay that much for a pair of shoes. Let alone $400 is pushing the limit!
 All I will say is this shoe looks really good in person from the people that I've spoken to they say their light and comfy but not a shoe to wear on an everyday basis. So a word of advice if you plan on buying a pair BE CAREFUL there are so many fakes and replica's it is crazy so do your research before purchasing!

Jordan 6 Rings

These are the Jordan 6 rings! To be honest I wouldn't wear them for casual wear but mainly for basketball for a patent leather shoe it’s pretty darn comfortable! This shoe sported pieces of every model that Spike Lee helped promote with Michael Jordan. Lastly, the Jordan 6 Rings features elements from each of the 7 shoes that Michael Jordan wore to win his 6 NBA Championship Rings. The shoes include the following:

Air Jordan 6 – Lacelock on laces, heel loop
Air Jordan 7 – Huarache style inner sock
Air Jordan 8 – Fuzzy tongue logo, Velcro strap
Air Jordan 11 – Silhouette of upper
Air Jordan 12 – “T W O 3″ on tongue, metal lace loops at top
Air Jordan 13 – Outsole
Air Jordan 14 – Jumpman at bottom of tongue near the toe

Nike Air Mag

*I wish these were mine but they're not, Image from Google Image"
These are the infamous Nike air Mags! Where most people find this shoe crazy I look at it as a piece of art. This shoe has so much going for it, it’s ridiculous! The Air Mag is the first rechargeable footwear from Nike was designed as an identical replica to the originals seen in the Back to the Future II movie. Some of the constant elements include the upper contours, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent (Try saying that 10x fast!) Nike logo in the strap. And yes the Mags actually do illuminate with the pinch of the "ear" of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge. Oh and their set to release in 2015 so believe I will try to snag a pair! Since I missed the first round.
