With a major release seemingly every weekend, US sneaker consumers don\u2019t have much to complain about in regard to access or options. Sure, shoes can still be hard to get, but for the most part everything is, at one point or another, available here. Well, almost everything. Today we highlight eight of the best kicks that don\u2019t hit America. Let us know which overseas exclusives you\u2019d like to see in the US in the comment section.<\/p>\n
By now we probably sound like a broken record, but hey, we really want the Nike Air Max Plus<\/strong> to retro Stateside. The shoes have circulated in European Foot Lockers for seasons, evolving in colorway and composition. To no surprise, we\u2019d just like to see Nike keep it OG and launch the \u201cHyper Blue\u201d and \u201cTiger\u201d colorways around here. Absence has definitely made the heart grow fonder on the famed Tuned Airs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jumping from the Jumpman to an international brand was not quite met with woos when Dwyane Wade joined Li-Ning. Nevertheless, the Li-Ning Way of Wade<\/strong> has grown in interest among American consumers thanks to countless colorways and exclusivity. However, we\u2019re still yet to see these shoes in US stores or even available online.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Runners run things in Europe just like basketball builds trends in the States. Though the Nike Air Max Light<\/strong> received the retro treatment in the US not too long ago, you\u2019d have to skip across the pond to pick up a new release of this model. A fresh collaborative take by size? has re-sparked interest even though one can\u2019t scoop the silo from stores here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outdoor hoops reign in the Far East, but blacktop basketball is still prevalent in the birthplace of balling. The Nike Air Max Ambassador<\/strong> and Dream Season<\/strong> series offer outdoor alternatives to the famed signature lines of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant that don\u2019t look or feel like takedowns or team takes. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t want a lighter Air Max LeBron or an XDR assisted Kobe for summer hoops?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Retro running continues to kick butt in casual and collab realms. The Le Coq Sportif Eclat<\/strong> appears to be the next model to pop, with this Sneaker Freaker formula proving a winner. We could see the Eclat gaining traction in the US and actually wouldn\u2019t be mad at the Noah Pro Model being offered, too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Appearing as an evolved Kukini, the Nike Free Alt Closure Run<\/strong> is yet to make strides in the US. While Nike Free is far from hard to find in the States, this model packs a design edge that separates it from inline Free Runs but comes off fresher than Sportswear takes. We\u2019d gladly take these.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sneaker Freaker, Solebox, atmos, and size? are among the many overseas entities that put out some of the best collaborations. Save a few online releases, the majority of these makeups never hit the US. Granted, there are solid American collabs to pick from, but we wouldn\u2019t be mad at some international love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a major release seemingly every weekend, US sneaker consumers don\u2019t have much to complain about in regard to access or options.
