KICKS Thursday - Nikes!

Nike Air Max 360 BB Low

White/Cool Grey - Electronic Green

Cool Grey seems to take over the outside of this KICK. 

Cool Grey Midsole wraps around the entire shoe, is prominent on the heel,

as well as the Flywire side panels.

White takes over the inside of the shoe but CG stays on the Flywire panel.

Electric Green is found on the lining, Swoosh outline, outsole and air unit.

These are out NOW and run for $140!

Nike Blazer Mid 

"Snakeskin"

Replacing the signature Leather Upper with the black Snakeskin brings a new luxurious and grown look to the Blazer. When I first saw the KICK it just looked like worn, wrinkled leather but when I took a closer look, I like the effects the Snakeskin has on the overall appearance of the KICK!

White Swoosh and White Outsole leaving the Toe Cap Black rounds out the classic look.

These are out NOW!

Nike Air Max Penny 1

Black Leather, Dark Grey panelling and signature White Wing with a marble Swoosh.

Grey Nubuck Upper, White Wing and marble Swoosh.

Both colorways are set for MAY release and will run for $125!

Keeping it light and cool for the nice weather coming our way.

NIKES!

Nike Blazer Hi Canvas

Black and Red

Black Canvas upper

Red Nike Swoosh and heel tab

Black eyelets and laces

Black outsole

Although I do not own anything red (I'm serious! I really don't think there is any Red in my closet. Thats a problem!) I love the combination of Red and Black. I'm not a huge fan of black shoes at all but I am a fan of the Blazer Hi. These are available now at Finish Line for $78.

Nike Dunk Low (GS)

White/Black/Chlorine Blue

White Leather base - Perforated mid panel

Black Nubuck toe box, tongue, around the ankle and the Nike Swoosh

Chlorine Blue accents on branding, laces and outsole

White midsole with Black stitching

I like this colorway but I wish they left out the perforated midsole. I really dislike perforated panels!

Still think the shoes are great and love the Chlorine Blue. These are available now at Finish Line for Kids and Girls for $60.

Nike Air Force 1 All-Star 2011

"East L.A."

Smooth Black Leather overlays

Tonal Nubuck side panel and toe box

White inner lining

Cool Grey Nike Swoosh, heel tab

Black mid and outsole with Cool Grey stitching and branding

"LA" graphics on tongue and insole

I'm really not a fan of black shoes and for some reason, having the mid and outsole black on AF1s has always bothered me. For a classic and timeless shoe, these are not bad, not bad at all! I like the use of Cool Grey rather than White as well. I usually don't like different materials on AF1s either. I feel like they should be left alone and be all smooth leather.

Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low

Black/White/Pink

Mostly Black Suede upper

Black Tumbled Leather mid panel and toe box

Smooth White Leather Nike Swoosh and heel tab

White Midsole with Pink branding and stitching

Pink inner lining, laces and outsole

These could definitely find their way into my closet although, I do wish they were mids rather than lows.  I'm sure you are not surprised to hear that I like these or that I would like them better as mids based on previous statements I have made! I already have a fresh pair of Pink/Black/White KICKS so I may have to pass on these right now. Show me a mid and I guarantee, I won't be able to walk away.

Nike Air Royal Mid VT

Antique Brown

Faded or "Antiqued" Leather upper

White and Brown midsole

White outsole

Brown Laces, Eyelets and inner lining

I would really love to see someone rock these. I think with the right outfit, on the right person, these Vintage Royals could be tough. I have also seen these in Black but they literally just looked old and dirty. I think the Brown pulls it off much better. Both are available now.

Nike Air Pegasus 92

Black/Matte Silver/Sangria

Almost all Black upper

Sangria around the ankle

Matte Silver Nike Swoosh, part of Midsole and branding

Black laces and inner lining

Although I dislike pretty much any shade of Purple, there isn't a lot of the Sangria shade on these 92s so I don't hate them completely! If you replace that Sangria with just about any shade of Red, Pink, Green or Blue and I would LOVE these.

Jordan 6 Rings - Girls

Black and Gold

All Black upper

Gold spotted midsole

Gold Jumpman on tongue logo and heel loop

I don't know how I feel about these honestly! I am not a fan of Gold at all and I'm not feeling the spotted midsole. There isn't enough Gold on these to completely turn me 

away but this wouldn't be my first choice to purchase. 

These will be released on February 12th as part of the Black History Month Collection.

KICKS Thursday - Nikes!

Nike Air PR1

Black/Dark Grey - Turquoise 

Black Elephant and Black Suede upper

Turquoise inner lining, outsole and toe guard

3M circle panel on the ankle

High ankle strap

I like these one minute, and the next, not so much. I can't really explain why I feel either way. I know I like the colorway. The Turquoise POPS off the black.  The 3M panel adds a nice touch as well. I think it may be the Elephant panel and the high strap that is throwing me off. My initial reaction is LIKE so thats what it is! No release information as of right now but I will keep my eyes open! 

Nike Air Waffle Trainer
Lime Green

Mesh and Leather construction

Lime Green inner lining, NIKE and heel branding

Grey mudguard, White midsole, Black outsole

These had me once I saw the colors. If there is Green or Pink of almost any shade, I will be drawn to it. That doesn't mean I always love them but, these caught my attention do to the green NIKE. I could do without the black going up to the laces but other then that, I love them. The Nike Air Waffle Trainer is set to release in FEBRUARY. 

WMNS Dunk High

Valentine's Day

Black and White decorated clothe upper

Black Leather NIKE

Black laces and inner lining

White Midsole/Black Outsole

Although these Dunks aren't SCREAMING Valentine's Day, decked out in Pink and Red, if you look closely you can see, it fits the theme perfectly! Roses, Hearts, Cupids and other signs of love, make the shoe work perfectly. These are available at select Nike retailers like Concepts.
