When I lived in San Francisco, I walked everywhere. It was about a 2 mile walk from my house in the Inner Richmond to my school up the hill at USF. Each morning I would throw my headphones on, grab my skateboard and make the trek up to school. After about 3 months … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Vans Authentic Pro ‘Desert Camo’
"White/Game Royal Black-Dynamic Pink." If those colors don't jump out at you, I don't know what to do for you. The Nike Air Huarache is a staple in sneaker culture that you're likely to find in any respectable sneakerhead closet. It's unique enough to catch eyeballs, comfortable enough to rock anytime and different enough … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Air Huarache ’91
This is my second consecutive "Sneaker Sunday" focusing on a performance basketball sneaker; but I think it's worth it. As I've stated before, my feet take the most abuse and having good, supportive footwear is critical to my on-court safety and success. My last post focused on a basketball shoe that I immediately … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike pg3
Ball is life. I play four times a week and sometimes I wish it was more. The frequency with which I play is so high, that the gear I wear on court is of the utmost importance. I did a post last year on my favorite hooping shoes of the summer and it … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Kobe AD NXT 360
Throughout my life, I've been known to buy some "wild" shoes. I have puke green Nike stabs, bright red crawfish dunk lows even purple and green dunk highs. For me, the brighter the shoe, the more I want it...even if I never wear it. When I saw this particular sneaker coming up … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike SB Air Force II Low “Foamposite”
"Got em." The two most sought after words in Sneaker culture. For the last two years, I've doggedly pursued every release on Nike's SNKRS app. with little to no luck. Every time there is a release (that I want), I wake up at 6:45 to get in a virtual line to possiblymaybebutprobablynot secure the sneaker that … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, “Turbo Green”
The Nike Air Max 1 is a sneaker I've admired from afar for awhile now. Originally distributed in 1987, the Tinker Hatfield designed shoe is the first Nike sneaker with an exposed air unit. Personally, I think it's one of the coolest looking shoes ever made. The wave pattern on the front that … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike Air Max 1
One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, the Nike Air Max 180 is a classic sneaker that has seen it's ups and downs since it's release in 1991. While not as heralded as it's Air Max family members the Air Max 1 or the Air Max 95, the Air Max 180 is unique in a … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Air Max 180
Definitely one of the more unique shoes I own. They feature a navy blue suede and white leather upper with purple elephant print on the heel. It also has "SEND HELP" embroidered on the heel and tongue tag. The sole is lime green and I bought the lime green laces to match the sole. Originally, … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike SB Dunk High “Send Help II”
For years, I stayed away from anything pertaining to the Kobe brand (as any respectable Celtic fan would do). Secretly though, I was envious. I had always wanted to play in a low top basketball shoe. When Kobe started rocking lows in 2008 with the Kobe IV's, he was the first and only one doing. … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike Kobe XI Elite Low “Brave Blue”
