Month: December 2014

Today’s the last day of 2014. It seems crazy that the year is almost (literally less that 24 hours) already over, but all good things must come to an end. Lots of crazy kicks were released this year, and there were several good things and several not-so-good things in the sneaker game just like every other year. However, even though it’s important to look back on everything that happened this last year, it’s even more important to look forwards to what might happen in the sneaker industry this year. Without further ado, here’s my reviews of what the major players did in 2014, as well as a few predictions for next year. read more

Here we are. The #1 shoe of 2014. In a year of crazy designs and innovation from what seemed like almost every brand, there was one shoe that stood above the rest. There really isn’t even any argument to be made. The #1 sneaker of 2014 is unquestionably the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October”.

No other shoe had the all-encompassing effect that the Red Octobers had on the sneaker landscape this year. Nike made a big splash when they dropped them on that fateful  Sunday in February (the 9th at exactly 1:00 PM ET for the perfectionists out there) with no advance warning. With the sneaker game the way it is currently, it felt only right that the release of the most anticipated shoe of the year (and maybe even the last couple years) was on a totally random day with no advance notice. read more

It’s my birthday today.

This piece isn’t very sneaker related (except for 23 being Jordan’s number, but that’s a bit of a stretch of course), but as this is my site, I figured it would be alright to alot myself one birthday-related post.

It’s crazy to think that I graduated from high school about five years ago, and have been able to legally drink for the last two. It feels like just yesterday that my homies and I were slinking into the gas station at 18 to buy cigars and chew and thought it was so dope that we could legally do that. read more

We’re down to the top two.  Biggie or Pac? LeBron or KD? Who’s #2 and who’s #1?

After careful deliberation between all the dope kicks that released this year, I was finally able to get it down to 2, and this was the hardest decision on the whole list hands down, as the two top shoes of the year were neck and neck (you’ll find out which shoe took the number 1 spot later this week of course).

Without further ado, coming in at a very close second on the Best Sneakers Of The Year list is the Jordan I SB “Lance Mountain” in the “Black” colorway. read more
