The team is clearly feeling giving this week, considering that not one, but two LIVESTRONG shoes appear on this installment of Snkrs Day Staff Picks. Also spotted are a new runner sample and a proven sneaker in an awesomely American look.<\/p>\n
Scroll through the team’s picks and see with which Nice Kicker you best identify and agree.<\/p>\n
George Kiel<\/strong><\/p>\n I have never been a big fan of the Jordan 6 Rings model; however, this particular color scheme on this shoe is the best I’ve seen so far. It kind of reminds me of the “Green Bean” Air Jordan 5s. In addition to the all-3M upper, the icy blue outsole adds a nice touch of cleanliness.<\/p>\n Jordan 6 Rings “3M”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alex Kroviak<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m not normally a LIVESTRONG sneaker fan, but I have tons of respect for the cause and anything that raises money for cancer research. These are the definition of under-the-radar, thanks to their hype-less single store release at Mellow Johnny’s here in Austin. Definitely a purchase I won’t regret.<\/p>\n LIVESTRONG x Nike Zoom Bruin LAF<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ian Stonebrook<\/strong><\/p>\n The Nike Zoom Kobe V<\/strong> is easily one of my favorite shoes to come out in the last year and arguably the best performance shoe I’ve every played in.? The “USA Basketball” colorway brings me back to 2008 when Kobe took the leadership role on the star-studded Redeem Team.? His work ethic and passion for the game on and off the court are unmatched and this pair would look dope with the new Nike HyperElite US Basketball gear.<\/p>\n Nike Zoom Kobe V “USA Basketball”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Greg Grovey<\/strong><\/p>\n This week I decided to go with the Livestrong Blazer, because not only is it a nice looking shoe, but proceeds go to aid in the fight against cancer. As we all know, CANCER SUCKS. The shoe stays true to all of the past Livestrong colorways, but this one uses supreme leather with minimal hints of yellow, making it plain and simple but still a winner. If your lucky enough to get the opportunity to pick up a pair, do it and help kick cancer’s butt while looking fresh!<\/p>\n LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Mid TZ<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mike Parsley<\/strong><\/p>\n With a 360 degree sole, Fuse technology, and Flywire, the Nike Air Max + 2011 has the potential of being one of the most comfortable and breathable Air Max’s to date. Sometimes when a lot of technology is put into a shoe, it can look a mess. However, this is not the case with the Air Max + 2011. The shoe has a very sharp, eye catching look to it, and the Wolf Grey\/Total Orange colorway compliments the jagged appearance and makes them head-turners in any crowd. If the Air Max + 2011 is as comfortable as they look, you can look fly all day long without your feet hurting.<\/p>\n Nike Air Max 2011 Wolf Grey\/Total Orange<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The team is clearly feeling giving this week, considering that not one, but two LIVESTRONG shoes appear on this installment…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1225545],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
