The "Royal" OG

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal was released once again on April 1st 2017 for retail of $160, which is a very low price because this shoe can re-sell for anywhere between $400-$1000. This is a very special shoe because some people will argue the Air Jordan Retro 1 is the best looking Jordan to wear with anything. They brought back all the old material that was made to make the first edition of this shoe. Plus the the classic Nike Air logo on the tongue.


This shoe itself doesn't change with age, the more this shoe is worn the better it looks. Everyone is going to like a fresh and clean shoe. But there isn't many shoes that can be "beat up" and still look like a very high class shoe. And what I mean by high class is, even if this shoe was been worn hundreds of times. People will still know what it is, and how rare the shoe is. Adding what the sneaker world calls character to a shoe can make it or break it. And with this beautiful shoe their is no need to let this sit on ice. I recommend wearing this shoe anytime possible. With me I got lucky and got the high-tops and the low-tops, so I wear my low tops a lot more. Someday I will complete the trilogy and obtain the red/black and grey/black Air Jordan 1 Retro. But in the meantime stay "Royal"

Call in Sick You Got The Flu

One of the best names given to shoe due to the circumstances Michael Jordan fought through against the Utah Jazz in the playoffs. The night before the game in Utah Michael had some bad pizza in his hotel room giving him food poisoning. Now for whatever reason,the media and team called it a flu like illness. Michael would go out that night and do what only he could and score 38 points and help his team win a crucial road playoff game.

The Air Jordan 12 personally is one of my favorite models and luckily it dropped again for the third time on May 28th, 2016 for retail of $190. Now with this shoe if you don’t get it when it’s dropped/released you will be paying a at least $225-$500 depending on the condition and year model. In a reality it’s worth it because this is one of top 10 shoes you must have if you out to wow people when walking the streets. The material of this shoe has changed from the original suede to like tougher nu buck. Still doesn’t take away from a classic shoe with an amazing back story to it.

My dad’s shoes from when he was in high school are still in some critical condition the worst part about the shoe is over time sitting in that box the mid sole will either crack or fade. That’s one thing I can say Nike doesn’t do a good job when they bring back these old model shoes. They don’t take the little details serious enough to make the shoe last even if it isn’t to be worn for years.

Goodbye to Airmax and Hello to Vapormax

The hottest shoe of 2017 in this weeks blog post is the "Nike Vapormax" this shoe will see a huge jump in sales this year and the next. Going for $190 retail is the triple black color way you see above. Other color ways can go from $220-$250 depending on if its special edition or not. The picture don't due its justice of how nice this shoe really is. If you're looking for a easy slide on shoe to wear every day to class, this is the shoe for you. With the triple black color you can wear this shoe everyday. The knock I have for this shoe on the flip side of wearing everyday. The shoe is fly knit which means its very thin shoe material so if it rains or you step in snow you feet will be soaked because the shoe material is so light.


I see Nike dropping different variations of this shoe based of the fact its easy to wear and it looks good. Nike tends to drop a hardcover and boot cover of shoe if its really "hot". This style of shoe was created off the Air max foundation. The bubbles on the bottom add a bounce of comfort ability to the shoe each step. I highly recommend you go buy a pair of these. The more popular the shoe becomes the harder it will be to get, and the higher the price will go.
