As we hit the weekend, that means it’s time for another edition of the always eclectic\u00a0Snkrs Day Staff Picks<\/strong>. This week, our staff chose some pretty bold choices as their picks for the week. Scan through and let us know what choices align with yours.<\/p>\n

George Kiel III<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw these in Tracy McGrady’s locker the other day prior to the Lakers vs. Spurs game. They’re pretty nice in person. Grey\/Silver + Low Top = win for me.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s nothing like the original Air Jordan 5 “Grape,” but the more I see these “Black Grape” 5s, the more I like them. Like the “Wolf Grey” 5s two years ago, I have a feeling these will be a sleeper pick come the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 5 “Black Grape”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peter Sim<\/strong><\/p>\n

My pick this week is the New Balance 1600 designed by Comme des Garcons Junya Watanabe Man. Japanese designers have been going heavy with the muted and tonal mixtures of beiges, tan, and whites as of recent; and it is certainly a refreshing departure from the colorful arrays that we are used to. The styling of the 1600 is also clean with a healthy mix of leathers on the upper.<\/p>\n

Toss up between these, the \u201cHome\u201d Westbrook XX8 PEs, and \u201cAtlantic Blue\u201d Foam customs. At the end of the day though, I had to go with what seemed most wearable. To me, the AJ4 silo is as flattering as it gets on foot. Jeans or shorts you\u2019re good, and this Yeezy reconstruction is incredible. Can you imagine what these would do if they released? Props to Justin and Rob on these, great work.<\/p>\n

Air Jordn 4 “Yeezy Revelation” Custom<\/p>\n


\nTeeJay Void<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once I saw the commercial back in the day, I had to have them. Unfortunately, my sister got them, but I didn’t. I’m interested in what other colorways will release, but this is a great start!<\/p>\n

These customs may not seem like much, but they really capture the eye. I honestly think these are the best customs of the year so far. The detailing and unconventional choice of silhouette are phenomenal.<\/p>\n
