The Good – Denim Dominance<\/strong><\/p>\n

While not the first “Denim” LeBron and likely not the last, the Nike LeBron 11 EXT “Denim” makes excellent use of the signature’s angular silhouette and plentiful panels. Like pairing a leather jacket with your favorite pair of jeans, this elevated combination is a surefire classic.<\/p>\n

The Bad – An Unintended Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

This weekend, Bodega released their latest collaboration in the form of the “Full Contact” Reebok Insta Pump Fury. While the sneaker is certainly another winner from the Boston shop, the video that was supposed to introduce the collab was pre-empted by imagery released by overseas retailers. Salute to the Bodega crew for another creative, cop-worthy release deserving of proper shine.<\/p>\n

The Ugly – A Polarizing Pair<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are we talking about the reveal of the Air Jordan XX8 or the XX9? With performance still the driving force behind its signature designs, Jordan Brand revealed the latest Air Jordan sneaker this week, and reaction proved as divided as when the XX8 was unveiled. With a woven upper and improved Flight Plate, the XX9 is sure to deliver on the court, but wild, sometimes immediately ugly responses seem natural when it comes to Air Jordan reveals these days. Are you a fan of the AJ XX9? Do you think opinions will begin to shift when the sneaker finally hits shelves, and if Russell Westbrook continues to play well in the signature? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
