The Nike LeBron 16 Low “Safari” is a shoe that connects two important moments in sneaker history. The LeBron 16 itself was LeBron’s sixteenth signature shoe, and the Safari colorway pays homage to the legendary atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Safari that dropped back in 2003. That same year, LeBron was drafted into the […]

Nike has been chasing the self-lacing dream since Back to the Future Part II introduced the concept to the world in 1989. The Mag shoes in 2016 were a teaser. The HyperAdapt 1.0 was a prototype that cost $720 and looked like a moon boot. The Nike Adapt BB is the real deal. It dropped […]

When Nike announced the Adapt BB, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Self-lacing shoes sounded like something out of Back to the Future. And honestly, the HyperAdapt 1.0 from 2017 was cool but felt more like a proof of concept than a real shoe you’d actually wear. The Adapt BB was supposed to be different. […]

La Flame took what was already a bold, unconventional performance silhouette and gave it his personal touch. The result is something […]

When I first heard about a Vans x Led Zeppelin collaboration, I honestly thought someone was messing with me. Rock band collabs aren’t new in the sneaker world, but Led Zeppelin? That’s a different level of legacy. This collection dropped on February 22nd, 2019, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band’s self-titled debut album. And […]

Some colorways just don’t need an introduction. The Air Jordan 1 Low “Black Toe” is one of those. If you know your AJ1 history, you know the original “Black Toe” high-top from 1985 is basically royalty in the sneaker world. So when Jordan Brand decided to bring that same color blocking to the low-top silhouette, […]

Jordan Brand kicked off 2019 with something I wasn’t expecting. They took the Air Jordan 1, the silhouette everyone and their mother is chasing, and gave it a fresh concept. They called it the “Defiant” line, and the first colorway to drop was the “Couture.” Honestly, when I first saw the leaks, I didn’t know […]

Nike pulled a fast one on everyone. During Travis Scott’s Grammy performance on February 10, 2019, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG quietly dropped on SNKRS with zero warning.

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is one of those shoes that needs no introduction. The black, cement grey, and fire red colorway has been part of sneaker history since 1989, when Michael Jordan wore it during his legendary playoff run.

When BAPE and UGG announced their SS19 collaboration with Lil Wayne as the campaign model, I think most sneakerheads had the same reaction.

Game of Thrones was the biggest show on television in 2019. The final season was about to air and the hype was absolutely off the charts.

BAPE and adidas have history. They have been collaborating since 2014, dropping NMDs, Dame 4s, and various other Three Stripes models with the iconic A Bathing Ape 1st Camo pattern. But the Ultra Boost Camo Pack that dropped on February 2, 2019 is arguably the best thing to come out of that partnership. Two colorways. […]

When images of the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 OG High first leaked in late 2018, people legitimately didn’t know what they were looking at. The Swoosh was backwards. Like, actually backwards. Not a factory error, not a joke. Travis Scott had convinced Jordan Brand to flip the Nike Swoosh so it pointed toe-to-heel […]

Nike announced the Air Max 720 in January 2019 and the sneaker world lost its mind. The tallest Air unit in Nike history. 38 millimeters of pure cushion. That number, 720, refers to 360 degrees of Air visible from every angle. It was a bold claim and an even bolder shoe. The first colorway to […]

Nike’s 2019 Black History Month collection was one of those drops that snuck up on people and then completely took over the timeline.

Jordan Brand’s “Reimagined” series was this experimental space they created back in 2018 where they basically said, let’s mess with the classics and see what happens. Some of the results were genuinely surprising. The Air Jordan 3 Explorer “Tropical Twist” is one of those shoes that still makes people stop and look twice. First thing […]
