No wait, you are saying because you don’t like Drake you won’t buy these?
Really?
What up Guys Jacques Slade and welcome to Today in Sneaks, let’s kick the show off
with something a bit different from Jordan Brand, the Air Jordan 1 in Patent leather.
When we normally think of patent leather, the Air Jordan 11 is the first shoe to pop
into your mind, but that may change pretty soon.
Used on the upper of the Retro High Jordan 1, the patent leather has been given the deep
royal treatment and they also use the Anti-Gravity Machines on the reverse of the tongue, a nod
to the Air Jordan XXXI and the new campaign attached to those shoes.
A release date for this pair hasn’t popped up quite yet, but you can expect a release
later this fall.
Keeping with the Jordan train, the Air Jordan 12 is getting some extra love next week thanks
to a very cozy upper.
SImilar to a premium pair we have seen in the past, Jordan Brand now gives us the Air
Jordan 12 “Wool” As the name implies, the normally leather upper of the shoe has
been switched out with wool which adds some texture to the shoe.
From the looks of it, Jordan Brand is using a textile on the liner as well, but I can’t
tell from these images if it is wool as well.
Though wool covers most of the upper, there is a bit of leather at the toe and on the
medial side near the arch of your foot.
With a rumored wool Jordan 3 happening in a few months, it looks like Jordan is trying
something new.
Look for these to cost $200 on October 1.
Most of you have probably never seen the next shoe on the show today, but to be totally
honest, with the direction designs for shoes are going today these fit right in with the
rest of them.
Called the Nike Air Unlimited, the shoe was once the signature shoe of San Antonia Spurs
Center, David Robinson.
From the neoprene sock liner to the abundance of straps across the upper, the shoe is a
big throwback to the days of The Admiral.
If I recall correctly, this is an OG colorway of the shoe, not like the white pair that
was spotted earlier this year in connection with Pigalle, or pigalle, I don’t know how
to say his name.
Look for the OG pair to release later this year.
The Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard set the bar for quality on the Jordan 1 when it was released
and the hope is that Jordan continues that vibe with the upcoming release of the Air
Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard 2.0.
A flip of the original colorway, the Shattered Backboard 2.0 or Away or some people have
been calling it has started to pop up on certain sites, including Foot Locker Europe.
In addition to the Jordan 1, they also have shots of the air Jordan XXXI shattered backboard
which I like more than the look of the 2.0.
For the XXXI, it appears that Jordan Brand stayed true to the original colorway which
integrates the black a bit more into the color scheme.
As far as release dates go, there have a been a few floating around, but OCtober 8th for
the 1s at $160 and October 10th for the XXXI for $185.
The Jordan Buzz the last few weeks has picked up and it looks like it will continue for
the next few weeks as well.
Spotted today over at Nike, the Air Jordan 12 OVO in white is set to hit store shelves
next weekend or officially on October 1st.
The release date for this shoe has been a bit of a revolving door, but thing seem to
be settling down with news of next week’s drop.
From what I’ve been told by some unnamed sources, the shoe will be hitting the Nike
SNKRS app which means they will probably be part of the Nike Draw program which I have
lost every single time.
But you never know, my luck may change this time.
Pricing for the pair is going to be a premium so expect to pay $225 when they do release.
As with Drake’s past collab’s, I expect these to be a hot item.
For the last video, the question was whether you liked the Yeezy Boost 350 V1 or V2 more.
This is what Coleman Young had to say:
I like the V1 better because it's a lot more simple than the V2.
It seems like a downgrade to me.
Plus V1 matches a lot better and the V2 seems like the opposite with a big bold orange stripe
on the side.﻿
Todays Audience Question of The Video come from Calikicks and the question is:
QOTD: As a sneaker enthusiast, What brand of footwear would you rather wear if you had
only 2 to choose from, Crocs or sketchers?﻿
For me, I think I would go with Crocs.
I’ve heard that Crocs are really comfortable and that is why doctors and people that are
on their feet a lot wear them.
I don’t personally have a pair, but that is just what I heard.
Let me know your thoughts below.
As for what I am rocking today.
It is the Catapult Commander from k-Mart.
I actually did an Unboxing slash vlog on these a little while back, I’ll link to it at
the end of the video.
So yeah, that is what I am rocking.

Wait what do you mean you have never purposely listened to a Drake song
What does that even mean?
Oh okay.

On a drake song is what you are saying.
I mean I guess. But...
Whatever. Your bad, dog! The shoes are dope.
