THE GOOD- A GREAT YEAR OF SNEAKERS AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n 23 Sneakers We’re Looking Forward to in 2012<\/p>\n 2011 brought ?Concords?, MAGs, Run DMC Superstars, ?Nerf? KD IVs, and about 80 other great releases. What?s 2012 have in store? Yeezys, ?Obsidian? 12s, Burn Rubber NBs, ?Metallic Red? Foamposites, and about 20 other heaters?and that?s just what we know on the first day! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE BAD- CRABTREE FINED $10,000 FOR JORDAN CLEATS<\/strong><\/p>\n Michael Crabtree Fined $10,000 for Gold Jordan Cleats<\/p>\n The sneaker culture has been, and always will be, about standing out and self-expression. So why do league?s continue to insist on heavy fines for shiny shoes? We?re all about putting the team first, but if they?re cool with Crab?s cleats the league should be too, right?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE UGLY- ALL ‘NUBUCK’ EVERYTHING<\/strong><\/p>\n Nike Air Flight ’89 Black\/Red<\/p>\n 90?s nubuck fans wanting that old thing back got all that and then some over the last year.

Due to the reportedly outrageous price of leather, super-high price tags or Hyperfuse variations appear to be the only alternative. Maybe we need to quit having a cow about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More good than bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2415,"featured_media":196551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1225672],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
