It has been a crazy week in sneakers, from two heavy-hitting Jordan Brand releases to an array of collaborations and exclusives. On the contrary, the Snkrs Day Staff’s favorites from the past seven days in sneakers avoids the headlines and is full of overlooked makes and models. From summer runners to fall lifestyle styles, Staff Picks<\/strong><\/a> goes deeper than the popular choices. Click through the pages to see what you may have missed from the past week in footwear, and drop your personal pick of the week in the comment section at the end.<\/p>\n

Peter Sim<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Huarache \u201cMagenta\u201d<\/p>\n

“This shoe stood out to me from the moment I saw it. Classic and modern at the same time. I’m a fan of textile uppers on runners, and the burgundy\/turquoise combination is too clean. The contrast in the paisley print, laces, and back heel tab are well executed. Definitely looking to scoop this shoe.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Allison Halfhill<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Huarache Magenta<\/p>\n

“Huarache, Huarache, Huarache. Love the contrast between the magenta and the royal. If my memory serves me correctly, these are coming stateside as well, so stay tuned for US release info.”
\n<\/p>\n

Jordan Howenstine<\/h2>\n

“Think Pink” Community Collection<\/p>\n

“My staff pick is a shout out to Patrick Sumugat for his sneaker collection. My man collects and wear only pink sneakers because he works in a hospital and does it to support the patients battling cancer. Epic.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cameron White<\/h2>\n

Nike Flyknit Lunar2<\/p>\n

“The Nike Flyknit Lunar 1 was my favorite pick-up this year, by far. The comfort level is unmatched by any other sneaker I own, but unlike most movies, I have a feeling this sequel is better than the first.”
\n<\/p>\n

Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n

Jordan Super.Fly 3<\/p>\n

“These are fire. Contemporary color and an ill design. Jordan Brand’s performance hoops has been on point as far as function for a minute now, and it’s nice to see the designs get wavier.”
\n<\/p>\n

Mike Parsley<\/h2>\n

Nike Roshe Run Hyperfuse Black\/Metallic Gold<\/p>\n

“This is probably my favorite colorway of the Hyperfuse Roshe to date. Gold, black and white rarely fail when they come together on a sneaker, and this pair is no exception. The horizontal lines also add a little extra flare.”
\n<\/p>\n

Kin Kwan<\/h2>\n

Vans OTW Steelhead Collection<\/p>\n

“I really like the outdoor-inspired aesthetics in this collection. The Bedford is probably my favorite since they’re so light and comfortable.”
\n<\/p>\n

Michael Faucheux<\/h2>\n

Capsule x New Balance MT580 “Tux”<\/p>\n

“I love everything about this shoe. I’ve, personally never seen a runner blanketed in all denim, and the 580 is one of my favorite models from NB, so this will definitely be a new addition to my collection.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sid Ashford<\/h2>\n

New Balance 530 White\/Purple<\/p>\n

“These New Balance 530s are perfect for the upcoming fall in Texas. I’m 95% sure you’ll see me rocking these with some light wash jeans and a grey tee.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nolan Nevels<\/h2>\n

DQM x Vans 2014 Summer \u201cSquare Ones\u201d Collection<\/p>\n

“So fresh. So clean. So, oh no, they’re sold out and I didn’t cop a pair.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
