A sign of the times, retros and collabs took the forefront of news this past week. Old favorites are seen in new lights while new silhouettes are carving their notch in the sneaker post. From the assortment of kicks that made the rounds in the last seven days, the Snkrs Day team made their personal selections in this week’s installment of Staff Picks.<\/p>\n
Nike Air Max 90 PRM Tape QS \u201cInfrared\u201d
\n“There are some shoes that are so classic that I don’t want touched, but then there are others that I love in every possible iteration. The “Infrared” Air Max 90 is worthy of the latter. I love Nike taking risks with the classic. This shoe is a must have for me. Time to call my UK connects!”

COMME des GARCONS x Converse Pro Leather Hi & Low
\n“I am definitely biased as I have the highs in the black\/white colorway (not pictured). They are both just fun, dope kicks.”
\n<\/p>\n
Reebok Kamikaze II “95\/96 Sonics”
\n“I like what Reebok did here. The Sonics’ color scheme during that season was one of the best in the NBA. I absolutely loved their uniforms in that color.”
\n<\/p>\n
Nike KD VI “NYC 66”
\n“The colorway of this KD VI is nice, but what makes the release great is the event it celebrates. Kevin Durant’s 66 points at Rucker Park is legendary, so it’s only fitting that we see a KD release in honor of the performance.”
\n<\/p>\n
adidas EQT Elevation “1997 Dunk Contest”
\n“Easiest staff pick of the year. Sneakers in transit, vintage Lakers gear on my mind.”
\n<\/p>\n
Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Fusion Red”
\n“I have the Arctic Green low Forces, which has been one of my better sneaker purchases this year. With that being said, the force is getting a little stronger with me.”
\n<\/p>\n
Big Sean x adidas Originals Pro Model II \u201cAll-Black\u201d
\n“Supporting my fellow Michigander who reps harder than anyone. Premium materials in a sleek black style code with gun metal detailing… Oh God (Big Sean voice).”
\n<\/p>\n
“Gamma Blue” & “Pink Foil” Track and Field Footwear
\n“I’m a HUGE \u00a0Track and Field enthusiast so my pick for the week is the Nike Flyknit trainer. Both colorways are perfect to make a statement with any outfit.”
\n<\/p>\n
Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka Black\/Sail
\n“You can never have too many black and grey sneakers. Throw the color scheme on a shoe as comfortable as the Lunar Flyknit Chukkas, and you have yourself a winner. Definitely adding these to the cop list. ”
\n<\/p>\n
Extra Butter x ASICS #DL5
\n“I love the fine details and premium materials used for the “Extra Butter x Asics #Death List 5,” not to mention the colorway.\u00a0 Definitely copping.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
