I’ve never played tennis on a grass court, but these Vapor 9 Tours seem reason enough to start. Subdued yet endowed with just enough flash thanks to hits of green and pure platinum, these tennis shoes are definite winners.<\/p>\n

Nike WMNS Zoom Vapor 9 Tour “Pure Platinum”<\/p>\n


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

My staff pick this week is from the recent collaboration between Nike and Size?, particularly the Air Max Lights, which take inspirations from the Air Mowabb, Lava High, and Safari. They did an excellent job with the color blocking, but I also appreciate the restraint in using the Safari pattern. It’s a nice touch. If you can get over the exchange rate, these are definitely great sneakers for the summer.<\/p>\n

For starters, almost any Air Force 1 with a gum sole is a winner in my book. However, it’s the “Artic Green” upper that really set this pair apart. Too clean.<\/p>\n

Between these and the \u201cViotech\u201d Dunks, I really like the early 2000\u2019s flavor coming from Nike and the other brands. Can\u2019t say I\u2019d drop $190 for the amount of novelty wear I\u2019d get out of these, but I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s next from NIKEiD and the AF1.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t all in on the LeBron X “Cork”, but the customs it has inspired have been dope. This Roshe Run by AMAC Customs is crazy! Is it wearable? I don’t know, but it’s aesthetically dope. These would be a welcome addition to the collection if they ever dropped.<\/p>\n

Clean, subtle, all-black, ballistic nylon, copped.<\/p>\n
