Sneaker Drops

Gum soles, something I would not really expect for Adidas to put on the NMDs. Honestly I think the shoe’s colorways are all great. Although they may be simple colorways I think that it allows for the gum soles to pop out. Also, for a reasonable price, $130 compared to UltraBoost which are around $200. I’m going to assume that these are going to be a GR, general release and anyone is able to get them. I think the shoe deserves a 9/10.

We see another shoe OFF WHITE shoe collab except it’s not with Nike this time. Aesthetically I think the shoe has the key features of what I’d imagine a OFF WHITE shoe would have, lots of labels; “RIGHT”, “LEFT”, “SHOELACE” and much more. I think the collab overall is great but I wish it was with Vans because there had been a sample which I found was interesting. The shoe itself looks great except with the clear sole which I found is off setting. But, the shoe in general deserves a solid 8.8/10 only because I think that they should have changed the sole color and the upper shouldn’t be see through because I don’t want people to see my foot. Virgil, the owner of OFF WHITE may have intended for that look, but this is just my personal opinion.

The shoe is dropping March 26 for $160 and will be acquirable through the Nike SNKR app. Receiving the sneaker will be drawn on that app. Sean Wotherspoon is a known fashion person in the sneaker industry. Overall I think the shoe looks great and seems very fashionable and it doesn’t look like Nike made it. The shoe gets a 10/10.

Nike is releasing two new colorways of the OFF WHITE x Nike Vapormax sometime this February or March. Although we saw the Top Ten collection with many shoes we remember like, the Jordan 1s, the Vapormaxs, the Hyperdunks and the Air Prestos. We saw many people especially wearing the OFF WHITE Hyperdunks, such as Draymond Green and Devin Booker. The shoe is going to sell out quickly but, the resale value of it may not be as high because the Top Ten collection is very limited but dropping more shoes makes it have a lesser value. This is similar to the situation of Jordan and dropping to many Jordans but, on a smaller scale. The price for them is 250$ which is not surprising since it is a colab with OFF WHITE. So, the shoe overall deserves a 9/10.

Recently there had been a drop by Adidas of the Futurecraft 4D in which they use a 4D printed sole which spiked the interests of many people. Personally I think it is a cool concept that they are 4D printing a sole, but from what I see, I don’t think it will last very long based on its appearance. In my opinion these shoes are worth if you want to keep it on display because of its retail of 300$. From what I have heard they felt softer compared to other shoes probably because of the number of holes in the mid-sole allowing for it to be compressed easily. All in all I think the shoe is a 7/10 because of the hefty price tag and there are other shoes you can get for cheaper that are equal or better.

My thoughts on this upcoming sneaker is that it is very similar to the Carmine 6’s which were released on May 24th, 2014. If you had missed out on the Carmine 6’s I would get this shoe, the only differences is that there is a quote on the back of the tongue “IFCOULDBE…” that quote is relating to the Gatorade ad and the kids wanted to be like Mike. Also the jump man is green and there is the Gatorade logo in the insole and lace lock of the shoe. Overall these would be a good alternative to the Carmine 6’s and I would give these shoes overall an 9/10 just because of the hints of green in the shoe but the concept behind the shoe and the little details make the shoe great.
