The Five Best Air Jordans

by

We’ve addressed the worst, now it’s time for the best.

You read the title right. The five best Air Jordans of all time, in order from my 5th favorite to my all-time favorite. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

5. Air Jordan XII

Starting the list off is the Jordan XII. MJ lost the NBA MVP to Karl Malone in the closest race in NBA history while rocking these shoes, but he did capture his 5th championship and 5th Finals MVP. The XII’s are a simple, understated shoe, so there’s a colorway for everyone. read more

The Five Worst Air Jordans

by

Air Jordans. The most famous basketball sneakers of all time….and arguably the best. There’s no sneaker that has more history and prestige. Classic models are plentiful through the 30-year lineage of the brand, and sneakerheads seem to love them more and more with every passing year.

However, even the best fall down sometimes. Some signature Jordans are not so desirable. Not all designs are absolute home runs. There’s been a fair share of whiffs as well. With that in mind, I present to you the five worst Air Jordans. If there’s a best, there’s got to be a worst as well, and these are the least desirable in my opinion. read more

What I’ve Been Doing Recently

by

It’s Easter Sunday, and as everyone’s at home relaxing (unless you’re in the service industry…sorry), I figured that now is as good of a time as any for a quick recap of what I’ve been up to recently.

In case you haven’t checked the site recently, or you don’t follow me on social media (which you should, I like to think I’m pretty funny), I’ve been writing for Karmaloop‘s blog KLX recently.

It’s been a lot of fun. It’s enjoyable to have to write from a significantly different point of view, and although it’s very difficult, I’d say that it’s made me a much better writer. Plus I get free gear. Can’t complain about that, right? read more

by

It’s been a big week for sneakers this week. Between all the Easter releases yesterday and everything that’s coming out this weekend. there’s a lot to chose from. Thinking of copping a pair, or maybe two? So am I. Here’s my top 5 sneaker releases for this weekend.

5. Highs and Lows x Reebok Classic Leather “Autumn Leaves”

autum

Reebok and Australian sneaker retailer Highs and Lows came together to design a dope shoe inspired by (you guessed it) leaves in autumn. Although autumn is a distant memory here in the states, this neutral brown, orange, black, and white sneaker is a winner in any season. read more

I Do Wear Air Jordans

by

If you’ve been browsing the sneaker webs within the last day or two, there’s a good chance you saw the article that Matt Welty wrote for Complex recently. It’s entitled “I Don’t Wear Air Jordans”, and it’s a good read (in the event you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a link).

Welty raises a few fair points in the article. Everyone does thirst over the same shoes, and it’s pretty nuts to drop $200 for a sneaker that calls itself a “remastered” model….even though the quality on the original shoe was significantly better. read more
