APRIL SNEAKER PICKS
10:14 AM
Because I have been slackin' with my bloggin', this post will be all the kicks that I'm feeling that hit the web in April. Though I have high praise for all the shoes that are posted there is a high possibility that I won't be getting any of them. I don't need anymore shoes (I know I know Who says that?) but its the truth. I am thinking about doing an in depth post about why I don't buy kicks anymore and why I am so picky and cheap when it comes to coppin. Look out for that soon.
AIR JORDAN 11 LOW NAVY/GUM
I am a big Jordan 11 fan, not so much the lows though. So when I saw these I was like I like them but I don't. So here is the reason that they made the list. 1. The color way 2. I love shoes with gum bottoms. 3. The Navy upper with the white mid is sick then you throw the gum bottom on them for your boy and we have a winner chicken dinner. (Honey Kettle) These gems will be released in Spring/Summer and will retail for $150 which I still think is high for a low. Just my opinion.
NIKE AIR FORCE 180 OLYMPIC
So I heard these bad boys will re release in July during the summer games. Quick story about these and why I may be getting a pair. These shoes have special meaning for me because as a kid I remember my mom and I going to buy them for my dad. Not sure if they were a bday gift or a fathers day gift. I'm guessing it was for father's day back in 92. I remember being jealous of my dad because I wanted these so bad, but at the time my foot was too small. My dad took care of his shoes back then, so when my foot grew I went straight to his closet to grab these to rock a year later. I was so pumped to be wearing these number one, but also because I wore the same size shoe as my dad. I wonder what happened to those OG one's? Because I only rocked them a couple of times. I mean, they weren't mine. LOL!
THE NIKE TECH CHALLENGE 2 LASER
Now I love kicks with a solid color upper and a sold color mid. I'm already a fan of the Tech Challenge 2's but these are so fire. Simple and dope. They are called "Laser" because there are laser cut perforated across the upper's premium leather to give added breathability and comfort. There isn't an official release date but they should be coming soon.
KYRIE 2 RED VELVET
I've been on the fence with the Kyrie 2's ever since images hit the web. There have been color ways that I have really liked. But I think the Kyrie 1's still hold a special place in my heart. These "Red Velvet's" are clean though. I think I like them because they are simple and clean. No crazy color way are patterns, just straight up Red Velvet goodness. These were created because Red Velvet is Kyrie's favorite cake flavor, and it is mine as well. Not gonna lie, that had a lot to do with why I liked them LOL! They Dropped on the 27th for a reasonable $120.
NIKE SB BRUIN HYPERFEEL
I love red and white shoes and I am loving the updated look of these Bruins. To think that these use to be a basketball shoe. But has since grown into a skaters favorite. You can go get these rightnow at. NIKE for a cool $90
VANS OLD SKOOL FOR SUMMER
I am late to the Vans Old Skool party, only because there was a time when EVERYONE and their momma was rocking Vans. I'm not the type of person who likes to follow the crowd. Since the hype has died down I got a pair in the OG black and white color way, and LOVE them. I rocked the hell out of those. I mean they are such a classic look that you can rock them with pretty much anything. I love the color way of the old skools pictured above because they have that chill summer vibe to them. I know you're probably reading that like "What? chill summer vibe?" YES CHILL SUMMER VIBE! You can't tell me that when you look at these you don't think of rocking then in the summer. I think I may be getting these because they have a lovely $55 price tag.
NIKE FREE HYPERVENOM 2- HYPER TURQUOISE-
I absolutely love these shoes! I am a big fan of the Hypervenom's in general but this color way is super dope. 1.They are my high school colors 2. They scream summer shoe.
NIKE AIR PRESTO ULTRA FLYNIT
Yooooooooo! for some reason these are dope as hell to me. I love the Presto silhouette. And to add that Flynit hightop chucka look to them is an added bonus. Its just too bad I won't be giving nike the $160 that they want for them.
