Nike Is Re-releasing This Crazy Shoe

Air Jordan 1 Emerald Green / Black-Grp Ic-White Basketball Shoes   Sneakerheads have reason to celebrate. After 31 years, Nike is re-releasing one of its most iconic kicks. No, these shoes aren't  associated with any GOAT basketball player or pop-culture megastar. The shoe brand is giving fans a chance to cop the Air Sock Racer,  which first made headlines in 1986. According to Footwear News, the Air Sock Racer is getting a 2017 update with the release of the Air Sock Racer Ultra Flyknit, which takes  the '80s athletic shoe and propels it into the modern day. If the shoe's looks aren't exactly your thing — they resemble a pair of socks  attached to a sole via two seatbelt-like straps — know that these sneakers come with a pedigree that few shoes can boast. Bruce Kilgore designed the original Air Sock Racer. He's the same name behind Nike's Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 2. The Air Sock Racer  also set the stage for a lot of Nike's current tech

     Air Jordan 1 Phat Black / Metallic Gold Basketball Shoes 5692     There is probably no shoe more influential in the world of sneakers than Back to the Future: Part II's Nike Air Mag. Which is  impressive considering that, for most of its lifetime, it was essentially a fictional sneaker. But going all the way back to the early  '90s there's been, among others, the Nike SB Dunk "McFly," the Nike Air "Mag" 90, the Nike KD 5 "Mag," and now, after tapping the  legendary sneaks for LeBron's 9 and 12 models, Nike is again returning to the Mag well for a new edition of the LeBron 14.

Air Jordan Flight 23 Black/Varsity Red Preschool Shoes 4917       On March 26, Nike celebrated its annual Air Max Day, honoring one of the most beloved sneaker series of all time. Special Air Max pop-up locations in four major cities were set up across the U.S., to present the rich history of the sneaker, as well as the future of the Air Max shoe design, with its Nike Sneakeasy locations. In conjunction with this year’s Air Max Day, Nike also celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 1 sneaker. Known for changing the game with its innovative design and helping push sneaker culture forward, the Air Max 1 still remains a classic after all these years. The brand looked into the future of the Air Max series with a next-generation silhouette, the Nike Air VaporMax. Constructed with a Flyknit upper and an air bubble cushioning system, the VaporMax has been one of the most highly anticipated sneakers since images of the shoe surfaced on the internet a few months back.

Air Jordan Rare Air Black / Varsity Red-Cement Grey Basketball S Under Armour is about to release its most expensive sneaker yet. The ArchiTech Futurist is a running shoe incorporating the company's technological advances thus far, "weaving together Under Armour's past, present, and future of changing the way athletes dress." One of those innovations is the center-mounted quarter zipper that allows the "speedform" upper to mold to your foot. The shoes actually use a compression system instead of traditional laces to keep your foot secure. As part of that, the rear of the shoe is open. Underfoot, the shoe has a 3-D printed midsole that "provides infinite cushioning and support." At $300, the ArchiTech Futurist is the most expensive shoe Under Armour has ever released, indicating the company is looking upmarket with its footwear ambitions. This mirrors the brand's push with its pricey Under Armour Sportswear line, a line of sports-i

In his rookie year, he notched 7 tackles with 1.5 sacks in only four games. However, his production peaked the following year. Hill recorded 19 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 4 passes defended, and one interception in 2014. The Penn State standout had a nice start in the Pacific Northwest, yet injuries ultimately derailed his development. Seattle released Hill in October of this past year after the second season-ending injury of his career.

Air Jordan 11 XI RetroSpace Jam Black / Varsity Royal-White Bask An exclusive look at the Jordan .2 "Why Not?" sneakers. There's a good reason Russell Westbrook is the most daring fashion icon in the NBA right now. The always-entertaining Westbrook throws conventions of pattern and fit out of the arena each and every night. He's a follower of menswear trends, blazes his own sartorial path at press conferences, and isn't one to shy away from the occasional troll (like when he wore a photographer's vest the night of his first game against former teammate Kevin Durant). And like most NBA stars, Westbrook loves himself a cool pair of sneakers—especially his own. Westbrook is sponsored by Jordan Brand and throughout the years Thunder point guard has put his spinon unique styles like the Westbrook 0 and .2, lifestyle sneakers that draw inspiration from Russ's own assortment of high-fashion kicks. But the shoes he just wore in the tunnel ahead of ton
