It’s pretty clean. The only thing I could do without is the iridescent accents placed on the tongue. Aside from that, it’s all good.

NIKE WMNS AIR FORCE 1 LOW TXT PRM 1 NIKE WMNS AIR FORCE 1 LOW TXT PRM 2 NIKE WMNS AIR FORCE 1 LOW TXT PRM 3

Every once in a while Nike releases a version of the Nike Air Force 1 Low that manages to stand out from the crowd. This particular pair manages to do so by utilizing both a texture/construction and color scheme we’re not used to seeing on the model. Let’s take a closer look at this women’s colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Low.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low TXT Premium comes in a textured upper that mimics the look of a leopard print done in a neon Orange colorway. The tonal look of the shoe is contrasted by the Turquoise and Volt accents placed in areas such as the tongue tag and heel tab. Additional features include the icy clear outsole, White midsole and a darker shade of Orange placed on the Nike Swoosh branding. Out now, pick up your very own pair at select retailers for $110.

I’ma keep it real with you. I love the Air Force 1 Low, but this color/texture combination is definitely not a good look. It looks like you’re wearing Cheetos Puffs on your feet. Come on, Nike.

I?m not a fan of Foams, but a colorway comes around every so often that catches my attention. This Olympic pair is pretty nice, but I wouldn?t be willing to pay anywhere near $250 for it.

Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 5, Pharrell x adidas NMD, Nike Sportswear Olympic Collection

Nike Air is back on a classic retro and it somehow costs more than the latest Air Jordan. That’s right, the $220 Air Jordan 5 Black Metallic Silver that is dropping on Saturday somehow costs $35 more than the recently revealed Air Jordan 31. Will that sobering fact have any effect on the sales performance of the 5s this weekend? Nope, and as evidenced by our discussion about this weekend’s releases for Buy, Pass, Wait, it’s the least of our worries when it comes to that drop.

Air Jordan 5 Black/Metallic Silver

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (PASS) Just this past week, I managed to find a pair of Laney Air Jordan 5s for a decent close-to-retail price so my desire to cop another pair of 5s, Nike Air or not, has dropped significantly. Now if I can just convince somebody to part with their Tokyo 23s…

Renz Orfiaza, News: (PASS) You can’t go wrong with the colorway. It’ll obviously get a lot of attention since it’s a revived classic, but, I’m not too inclined on purchasing anymore.

Juan Carrillo, News: (PASS) Aside from the Air Jordan 1, Nike Air branding on Jordans isn’t really a big deal to me. I actually sold my pair of Metallic 5s earlier this year. I used to love this shoe, but over time I’ve kind of gotten over it. I know it’s a classic, but it’s a pair I feel I can live without.

Andres Carrillo, News: (WAIT) I’ve always wanted the Air Jordan 5 in this black/metallic silver colorway, but if it means paying $220 plus tax for it I’m gonna have to pass on them. The materials don’t seem all that better than then 2011 pair so I don’t think I can justify the price increase just for the Nike Air branding. The only way I’ll buy them is if they fall to less than $200, which they probably won’t.

Pharrell x adidas HU NMD

Politics
Politics

EIC Juan: (PASS) Like the yellow pair, prefer the red that I saw him wear a few weeks ago at an adidas event. $240 is steep especially since regular Primeknit NMDs are $170 if you can find them.

Renz: (BUY) I’m biased towards the NMD profile and I like the deconstructed look of the lacing system as well. It’s an exclusive pair so it holds more value, but, I’m looking forward to more colorways.

News Juan: (BUY) I love the look and color of the shoe (I’m a sucker for Yellow sneakers). I get that it’s a collaboration but I can do without the large HUMAN RACE branding all over the shoe. With that being said, if someone were to offer me a pair at retail I’d take them without thinking about it twice.

Andres: (PASS) Pretty dope pair of NMDs, but a $240 price tag? Really? I mean it’s not like I was gonna have a chance at even buying these, but even if I did that price is ridiculous.

Air Jordan 2 Quai 54

Nike
Nike

EIC Juan: (PASS) At first glance I thought these were just different versions of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Beach. Eh, it’s a nice color scheme but they’re still Air Jordan 2s and while I don’t loathe 2s like I do 13s, it’s not that far off…

Renz: (BUY, I’ll try since a Europe-exclusive) I’m all for the colorway and I basically like the lifestyle appeal of the model.

News Juan: (WAIT) Being that the shoe appears to be an overseas exclusive, I have no choice but to wait in hopes of these arriving stateside. Honestly, the fact that it pays homage to the Quai 54 streetball tournament is not one of the reasons why I like the shoe. As a matter of fact if I had the option of removing the Quai 54 branding on the tongue, I’d do it. I just like the color scheme on the shoe.

Andres: (PASS) This is a pretty decent colorway of the Air Jordan 2 but I just don’t like it enough to actually buy it. I feel like it would be so hard to take care if it and keep it mint condition cause of the color and materials.

Under Armour Curry 2.5 49ers

Under Armour
Under Armour

EIC Juan: (PASS) It’s not an official 49ers colorways since Nike owns everything NFL-related when it comes to gear, so this is just tangetialy related to the greatest franchise in all of sports. Don’t…

Renz: (PASS) The color combo is appealing but that’s about it. I’m not really into the silhouette, although, the theme is a nice option of the silhouette recently.

News Juan: (PASS) I really don’t like the gradient/pattern used on the upper. There’s better options of the Curry 2.5 out there, there’s now way I’d spend my money on this pair. It kind of looks rushed, no?

Andres: (PASS) I didn’t really like the Curry 2 and I can say the same about the 2.5. Out of all the colorways that have released this may be one of the worst ones.

Nike Sportswear Olympic Collection

EIC Juan: Nike Hyperdunk 2008 United We Rise

Nike
Nike

I remember first seeing these in DIME Magazine and have wanted them ever since. While I would prefer to get the Kobe PE version, this pair is more than an adequate subsitute. If I didn’t already have Nike Air Zoom Flight 96, those would be my pick but we can’t go wrong with these either.

Renz: Nike Air Force 180

Nike
Nike

I had the chance to purchase it four years ago but passed. I’ve always liked this silhouette in this colorway. It’s appealing for both on and off the court.

News Juan: Nike Air Force 180

Nike
Nike

I’ve never owned this model, but this Olympic colorway is screaming my name. The color scheme is executed perfectly, and it has just enough Gold accents to help give the shoe some pop.

Andres: Nike Air More Uptempo

Nike
Nike

Now that I really think about it I regret passing up on the Air More Uptempo. The shoe has such a unique look to it and this Olympic colorway is so clean. I think it was easily the best Olympic release of 2016. Maybe I can still find myself a pair for retail.
