Nike Air Max 1 Premium "Air Max Day"

To be quite honest, I really didn't know anything about what "Air Max Day" is all about till one of my closest friends told me that it was today March 26, 2013. I did a little research and found out that today commemorates the 27th anniversary of the Nike Air Max line. I've had an Air Max 90 "independence day" blue last year and it was one of the best pairs I've ever worn on feet. My friend who reminded me what day is today also had a few pairs of Air Max 1 OG's that was amazing on feet. To know more about the air max line here's a video  





Today, Nike Released The Air Max 1 Premium "Air Max Day" with the color combination of Sail/University Red/Natural Grey. This would be a very good addition to Air Max heads and a real classic to the sneaker world.

Kobe 9 EM Release Date

Another Kobe 9 is set to release at the end of the month and it resembles the low cut silhouette versions we have seen in the past kobe models. The upper is made out of engineered mesh just like the Kobe 8s that had a very successful run last year with its colorways. It would have been better to stick with flyknit instead just to be more closer to its original design. The Kobe 9 EM is Set to Release this Sunday, March 29.

Air Jordan 14 "red suede" Rumors to drop this fall.

I love shoes as much as I love cars so the 14s in my opinion is a must COP. They are popularly known with the "last shot" colorway but these Hot Ferrari red is so loud, loud like a V12 engine roaring the streets. These joints also has the potential to break necks like the car it was inspired from. If the rumors are true, I wouldn't mind waiting in line for a few days for this.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Yeezy" - Release Date

From custom J's to rosheruns, the "Yeezy" inspired colorway now made its mark on the Air Foamposite Pro's silhouette. The release date has been announced but make sure to contact nike park/ nike stadium to check if it would release here in Manila. The said date will be on April 19, 2014 right after the release of The Air Jordan 6 Black Infrared. Another dilemma brought to us by our favourite retailer. What would you cop? the 6s or the foams? My money would always go to the J's but quality wise, The Foams is worth every penny.

NEWS: Lebron 11 elite "team"

I used to own a Pair of Lebron 11's in the kings pride colorway and I was shocked on how good it looked and performed. Since then, I wasn't really feeling any of the other colorways that came out until the elites were unveiled. 

In my opinion, the silhouette is much more cleaner than the other designs and the colours are right on point. What really surprises me with lebron 11s is that they look better in-person than photos (most of them) 

The most noticeable change for me is how the tongue is slightly higher than the old design, the armorposite material looks thinner, maybe to lose weight and if you notice that the bottom part now has a full outsole compared to the crack in the middle with lebrons signature. 

Hopefully This Elite Series would be better than the ones we had last year.

Sneaker Review : Air Jordan 11 Retro "Bred"

Lets start off my first review with a shoe that has been reviewed for over a million times.  It's my favorite pair and it took me quite a while to cop them.

I know some of you guys who does not own one, wants one. I mean, i haven't seen a collector without one pair of this models colorway and i don't blame them.



Need I say more??
