Yooo! These have more air than you have probably ever seen, some video game love, Chris Paul’s
new shoe is...well let’s talk about that later.
I am Jacques Slade and this is Today in Sneaks.
If you are an old school adidas fan and not one of the “new” adidas fans, you’ll
probably know a lot about the adidas EQT.
The model has been getting a lot of shine recently and when executed correctly, it is
one of the best models I believe that adidas has to offer.
For the latest look, adidas Originals takes inspiration from the Berlin marathon after
already hitting up other cities on the marathon circuit.
Seen here in shots from overkill, the model features a premium suede on the upper that
trails down to a white midsole. It looks great.
To complete the look, a gum outsole is used and the colors of the German flag decorate
the heel tab.
Look for these to release on Saturday.
Revealed at Nike’s innovation summit earlier this year, the brand is almost ready to give
us the most Air we have seen.
Known as the Nike Vapormax it introduces the Air concept, which Nike actually first used in '79,
without any distractions.
Since the start of Nike Air, it was always used in a way that kept the air sandwiched
between some foam or rubber of something like that
For the VaporMax, the shoe is not only lighter than most recent models, it puts the air right
up against the Flyknit mesh.
As a result of this change, you actually feel the air a lot more than you would if it was protected
by foam.
As far as pricing and an exact date, well those are still up in the air, but according to
Wired, we can expect them to release later this year.
Soccer boots have a life of their own.
In the way that retros, or originals have a fan base, the same goes for soccer boots.
NIke has been really great in the past with putting out exclusive looks at the boots and
the latest version taps into the world of video games.
Linking with EA Sports, Nike drops the limited edition Mercurial SuperFly.
The graphics on the upper transition from 16-bit style to the more modern aesthetic
that we have come to expect from games like FiFA.
One of the most eye-catching parts of the shoe is actually the outsole.
It has this iridescent effect that extends from the toe to the heel.
Only 1500 pairs will be made and you can grab them on the 28th on the Nike Football app
and on Nike.com.
Jordan hasn’t announced it yet, but first looks at the Jordan CP3 10 have already started
to hit the web.
Unlike past looks at his signature shoe, the latest models isn’t exactly getting love
they way I think Jordan Brand would want.
From the images it looks like they use Flyweave on the upper and they also have a bit of Flywire.
One thing that has captured the attention of or I should say the imagination of the internet is the over-sized jumpman
logo on the lateral side as well as the underlying support-piece that extends from the toe around
to the medial heel.
The official word from Jumpman on what it is exactly hasn’t hit the wire, but stay
tuned and I’ll fill you in as soon as I find out what it is.
I have a few pair of Nike Dunks, but definitely not as many as I would like to have.
With that in mind, a pair has caught my eye that has bit of strange inspiration.
Rocking an all black leather upper, this pair is made to fight or withstand the rain or
at least look like it can.
The black upper is accented by a really cool plaid liner that really pops against the rest
of the shoe.
They also have an umbrella logo on the tongue which helps cement the whole rain inspiration
for the design.
This is actually a Nike Dunk Ultra so it is a lightweight version of the regular shoe
which probably means it will not stand up to the dynamics of skating if that is what
you were thinking.
Pair of these are actually available now at select retailers for 90$
As for what I am rocking today
