The HUF DVS Runners always look pretty nice, but this collab with Mighty Healthy is just my style. A definite must have for sure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--nextpage--><strong>Air Jordan 11 Black\/Red-White &#8211; George Kiel<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>In my opinion, this is the best Air Jordan sneaker ever. I would pick this sneaker every week until the 11\/12 Countdown Pack dropped (I&#8217;m not&#8230;don&#8217;t worry). I first fell in love with this sneaker when I asked my best friend to borrow some sneakers for an out-of-town basketball tournament, and he gave me these. I played in them so much by the time I returned them, he said just keep those raggedy things! He didn&#8217;t care because he basically has every Jordan sneaker ever dropped. Anyways, despite the look of the shoe, I fell in love with its comfort. Again I say, this is Jordan Brand&#8217;s best work to date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--nextpage--><br \/>\n<strong>University of Texas Nike Hyperdunk for Maui Invitational &#8211; Matt Halfhill<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This weekend is bringing some great college sports matchups on the turf and on the hardwood. Football season has been great for Horns fans minus the final seconds in Lubbock, but the basketball season just getting started in a BIG way. Let&#8217;s see how serious Texas really is taking on some pretty big names in Maui this weekend. At least their Hyperdunks will match their boardshorts if things don&#8217;t go as planned \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--nextpage--><br \/>\n<strong>Nike 1World x Michael Lau Air Crazy Force 1 &#8211; Greg Grovey<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you have not realized by now, I am an Air Force 1\/Air Yeezy addict, and this particular pair blew me away because of its creativity. Yes, they are a plain, original colorway, but the all-quilted pattern upper puts these sneakers in a league of their own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--nextpage--><br \/>\n<strong>Air Jordan 23 &#8216;Chris Paul PE&#8217; &#8211; Peter Sim<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Of course the Bred XIs from the 11\/12 Countdown Pack are definitely the gem of this week, but I gotta give it up to Chris Paul&#8217;s baby blue XX3s.  Over the course of the year, JB definitely did their thing with the design and colorways of the XX3.  It looks like CP3 PE takes a white base and adds accents in the university blue color from the Titaniums, all in all making for a clean and well-executed shoe.  As with all PEs, hopefully this colorway hits the shelves because they&#8217;re dougie-licious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week brought us a few notables including the start of college basketball, the much-anticipated 11\/12 Countdown Pack, exclusive PEs,&hellip;<\/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":[742],"tags":[1225545],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Snkrs Day Staff Picks Week 8 | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Snkrs Day Staff Picks Week 8 shoes.
