Matt Halfhill<\/h2>\n

Nike LeBron X EXT “Black Suede”<\/strong>
\n“Premium material choices and slight mint accents make these LeBrons top off my future wish list.”
\n<\/p>\n

Allison Halfhill<\/h2>\n

adidas Torsion Allegra X “Aluminum”<\/strong>
\n“Grey on grey with a white midsole and hot pink accents. Love this color combo and mix of materials. They remind of me favorite pair of Nike Air Max ’97 ID I made back in 2007.”
\n<\/p>\n

Stalley<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 1 “Shadow Grey”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m gonna have to go with the Jordan 1 ‘Shadow.’ It’s a great colorway for a very good everyday shoe. I used to wear Jordan 1’s for a month or two straight just to give it that character and worn beat up look. The ‘Shadow’ 1 is perfect in its color blocking. It’s really just one of the OG shoes that still has a fresh appeal today.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

George Kiel<\/h2>\n

Nike Kobe 8 PP Team Exclusives<\/strong>
\n“I pretty much like every colorway of the Kobe 8 that has surfaced on the web. I really like both of these. The black base with grey and red would look nice on court.”
\n<\/p>\n

Pete Sim<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Trainer SC High QS “MLB All-Star”<\/strong>
\n“My pick this week is the Nike Air Trainer SC High QS “MLB All-Star.” This colorway is great because it has so many details. The upper looks great with the grid pattern and blue accents, but the features that make the shoe stand out in my opinion is the multi-speckle pattern on the midsole and the placement of white on the shoe.”
\n<\/p>\n

Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n

Reebok Answer I “All-Star” Red\/White<\/strong>
\n“I distinctly remember watching the \u201898 All-Star Game at a party at my friend Steve Weaver\u2019s house back in fourth grade. One of the adults there made a comment, perhaps joke, about how the player’s jerseys that we were wearing (Iverson for me, Pippen for Steve) weren\u2019t even in the game. Looking back at the East roster it still seems semi-bogus that AI didn\u2019t make the squad. After that rookie season he had though, can\u2019t imagine a lot of opposing coaches were giving him a lot of bench votes. Anyway, this red All-Star version sees a rare sneaker story of an actual scrapped sample that never released. I remember seeing pics of the would-be OGs in odd corners of the internet in years past, so kudos for Reebok bringing back what might be the best colorway of one of my all-time favorite shoes.”
\n<\/p>\n

Gabe Oshin<\/h2>\n

Nike Solarsoft Moccasin “Floral” Pack<\/strong>
\n“Grabbing the black Solarsoft Moccasin have been the cop of the year so far for me, making an appearance weekly in my sneaker rotation. Despite me not wanting to go overboard on any particular silhouette, there’s no denying the fact that the Solarsoft Moccasin is a winner in my book.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brittany Shelton<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 PRM QS “MLB All-Star”<\/strong>
\n“As a Mariners fan, there really isn’t an MLB All-Star more important than Ken Griffey Jr., and I love that Nike is celebrating this year’s All-Star game in NYC with a premium Nike Air Griffey Max 1. The colors on this shoe are very summer appropriate, and the subtle New York tagging makes for perfect accents.”
\n<\/p>\n

TeeJay Void<\/h2>\n

MIA Skate Shop x Nike SB Dunk Low<\/strong>
\n“The Dunk collaborations have been very dope lately. This MIA Skate Shop iteration is crazy. The hues of blue work well, especially the ocean design on the rear panel. I’m interested to see just how hard it will be to get my hands on these.”
\n<\/p>\n

Karlton Johnson<\/h2>\n

Vans Authentic “Snake” Pack<\/strong>
\n“Seeing how Vans is cooking out another hit summer full of heat, these Authentics are a must have. I\u2019m big into fashion so these would be fun to dress up or down and quick to turn heads.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cameron White<\/h2>\n

Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 By Andre Iguodala x Marcus Troy<\/strong>
\n“My pick of the week is the Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 By Andre Iguodala x Marcus Troy. This Bespoke creation was inspired by the Air Jordan 1, and incorporates reptile leather. Simply beautiful.”
\n<\/p>\n

Michael Parsley<\/h2>\n

adidas Pro Conference Hi “Forest”<\/strong>
\n“I’ve always been a fan of high top classic adidas, and this model is no exception. If they would have dropped in the Fall\/Winter, it would have been a definite cop for me. I just can’t mess with the high tops in this Texas summer heat.”
\n<\/p>\n

Jordan Howenstine<\/h2>\n

Nike Flyknit Air Max 2013<\/strong>
\n“I’ve always been into Max-ing and relaxing, and adding a Flyknit upper only further progresses the iconic midsole. I’m also digging the gradient flow of shades on this first-seen colorway.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
