As you peruse this post, make sure to click this link and have the song playing the whole way through. Trust me—it’ll make the read that much better. Released in October 2016, the Air Jordan 12 OVO in the white colorway is the very definition of class. Although many dislike the Jordan 12 silhouette for its clunky appearance (myself included), I can make an exception for these. A collaboration with Jordan Brand and Drake’s fashion line October’s Very Own, these kicks feature vibrant, creamy whites on the upper alongside brilliant gold decals sprinkled throughout. If any random person on the str ..read more

Here we are. The Banned 1s. Illegal to wear, on and off the court. Instant arrest. Minimum $5,000,000 bail. If you couldn’t tell, that was hyperbole. You know who couldn’t tell? Ten-year-old me when I first heard about these shoes. Seriously—my camp friends scared me into thinking that these shoes were literally prohibited by law—sort of like my dad scared me into thinking that it was illegal to turn the overhead lights in the car at night time (if you know, you know). Anyways, enough rambling. The banned 1s. Iconic. Probably the second most well-known Air Jordan colorway right behind the Chic ..read more

Hey everyone! Sorry for the extended hiatus—I got caught up in school work, and will be posting more regularly from now on. Before I continue the Air Jordan saga (which will probably end up being a trilogy culminating with the “Banned” 1s, unless I get the urge to write about another colorway, which I inevitably will at some point) I wanted to write an entry about another shoe I came across, a shoe that I consider to be the end all be all of bad sneakers. The Kerwin Frost Adidas Forum high, released on November 17th, 2021, is a shoe for the ages. Sporting all of your favorite orifices like pho ..read more

I’d love it if I could bring myself to move onto another shoe, but I feel that I wouldn’t be doing this pair justice if I only dedicated one post to it, so here we are. Today, I’ll be covering the Air Jordan 1 in the “Game Royal” colorway, which had its major release on March 24th, 2018. One of the main reasons I want to talk about this shoe is because it is the updated model of the previous shoe I posted about—the 1985 Jordan 1 Chic ..read more

I must admit, I created this blog with the intention to bring light to cool shoes a non-sneakerhead might never have seen, but I couldn’t bring myself to write even a single entry before talking about these bad boys. These kicks are so incredibly classic that they almost represent Jordan Brand better than the Jumpman logo itself. The vibrant, candy-apple red upper contrasted against the cream midsole and night black swoosh make the sneaker ..read more
