Why fly when you can be a racer?

One of my personal favorites when I am going for a comfortable shoe to wear of the day. The "Nike Fly knit Racer" very hot shoe in today's world and not to expensive either. The first racer was released back in 2013 for retail of $150-160. This is the "Oreo" colorway, as you can see the split of the white to black of the shoe. I highly recommend this shoe to wear if running, walking around, or just going for a stylish shoe under $200 from a major brand. You can wear this shoe every single day, and it’s so light and durable it will last you until the next edition comes out.

This shoe is very underrated in the sneaker community. Also it is on sale at a lot local shoe stores. I purchased mine not too long ago for just $70. So this shoe isn’t just a comfortable fit for running, casual wear etc. It's affordable to be stylish as well. Downside to this shoe is with the shoe being so light and having breathable material it will easy to soak through if it rains or you step in water.

"To A Real Crossover"

This week on "What are Those" I am bringing to you one of the reasons I play basketball. He was a inspiration to most young hoopers growing up in the 90s. Allen Iverson is one of the first under 6 foot killers in the NBA. He brought the urban street swag to the professional side of the NBA.

He brought Hip-Hop music to the sports world because everyone wanted to be like A.I. And that’s what this shoe is all about. His most popular shoe, the "Reebok Question," was made in so many different colorways and variations of high-tops and low-top sneakers.

This specific shoe released February 13, 2015. Even with this shoe being under the Reebok brand, it is arguably one of the top 25 shoe models to release as a casual or a on-court shoe. Thank you A.I. for inspiring many hoopers like myself and kids all over the world to be like you.

Welcome to The "Space Jam"

The Most talked about Movie Inspired Shoe in History Air Jordan Retro "Space Jam" 11s.

According to https://solecollector.com these shoes were released December 10th 2016 for $220. When the original drop happened in 1996, the shoe with a 23 on the back instead of the new 45 you see in the picture. What makes the shoe so special no matter how they change it is, one the movie Space Jam and two this style of shoe is arguably one of the best Nike has ever made. Due to the fact it is everybody’s  favorite Jordan when asked if you could choose one. Also one can argue the color ways for Air Jordan Retro 11 look the best. So anytime this shoe is dropped, people literally go crazy for it. I’m just glad I got my hands on couple pairs.

What makes this shoe so special? Besides the shoe being one of the best hooping (basketball) shoes ever made. It’s comfortable and it can be worn with just about anything. The baby blue icy sole doesn’t clash with suits or jeans. I recommend buying this shoe if ever lucky enough to find it under retail price because it will good for years and feel good too.

Welcome Blog

Welcome all sneaker heads,

This is my shoe blog, me being Javion Blake, basketball player and shoe collector. This blog will "unlace" shoes of today and of the past. I will be showing and comparing some of the shoes the youth of today are buzzing about. And what the difference is between when they were first released to the changes of the re-release. I have about fifty plus shoes I could pick from to discuss on this blog, but i know you viewers want the best of the best, and the most talked about shoes.

What does it mean to be a sneaker head? To have a love, but not an obsession with shoes. No specific shoe love makes you a sneaker head. There are also different kinds of sneaker heads. Their is the sneaker head who just collects shoes simply to have and then their are sneaker heads that buy to wear and show off. Having a lot of shoes doesn’t make you a sneaker head though, having the right shoes does and that’s what this blog will teach the viewers. What shoes look the best on feet and what could possibly be a new trend for tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy this blog as much as I will making it.
