Air Max No Brainer

Aix Max 90 + Trainer sample.


WOW. This is a seriously dope concept. Nike is starting to step up their hybrid game nicely (while Jordan brand is still dropping $130 turds in shoeboxes). Who knows if these will actually ever drop, but gotdam do they ever look fly.

Quite possibly my two favorite Nike kicks of all time, in the flyest colorway of all time. This one is a no brainer. Put these into production already.

Via: weekly drop

A Decent Looking Jordan Hybrid?

Minus a few of the AJF's (ahem 3's...I copped), all the Jordan Hybrids have been booty. Like straight up doo doo. But, today I came across photos of a pretty fuckin fresh hybrid, the Jordan 16.5.

These contain a lot more elements of the Jordan 16 than 17, but all in all they look really dope. The attention to detail is pretty impressive, even including 'Jordan' in braille on the heel. For a pair of hoop kicks these are fire. They are clean and also look to be really lightweight and comfortable. And of course the black/red colorway is unfuckwittable. By far the best looking '.5' Jordan brand has hap-hazardly thrown together.


[rant] I will still look MJ in the face and tell him his brand is falling off with all the new half-assed crap they've been putting out lately. Their ratio of good vs. bad hybrids/re-releases/new shit is piss poor. Stick to the script Jordan brand...less is more. Remember when you used to release one sneaker a year and they were the hottest commodity on the block? Who gives a shit about how many sneakers you can sell, think about how many of those shit designs should have never left the drawing board. Honestly. [/rant]
