The Snkrs Day Staff’s favorites from the past seven days in shoes cover all the bases, from Jordan Brand and KD’s latest, to a few overlooked releases. From basketball’s elite to summer finishers, Staff Picks<\/strong><\/a> fully portrays the last week in the news. Scroll through to see what the office chose as their favorite sneaker stories of the week, and drop your personal pick in the comment section at the end.<\/p>\n

George Kiel<\/h2>\n

Nike KD 7 “Calm Before the Storm”<\/p>\n

“This is my second-favorite KD 7 behind the “Global Game” pair that released earlier this month. I love the fact that it truly features shades of grey, with a light grey covering the base and a darker shade seen on the heel area. It’s a very solid colorway of KD’s latest shoe.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peter Sim<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 3 “Sport Blue”<\/p>\n

“I mean, what more can I say about this shoe? I already wear Black\/Cement 3s a majority of the year, and the sport blue is a great addition. Super fresh.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Michael Faucheux<\/h2>\n

PUMA Trinomic Disc N Calm “Black”<\/p>\n

“The Disc Blaze “Cork” was my very first Puma silo, and I was hooked. Taking classic silhouettes and revamping them with new and premium materials, as well as knockout collabs with some of the biggest names in the industry. The Trinomic Disc N Calm “Black” is no exception. Using a combo of textured canvas and leather to blackout the upper and a speckled white midsole and gum bottom. A simple design that is sure to turn at least a few heads.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Howenstine<\/h2>\n

Native Apollo Moc “Black” <\/p>\n

“My main concern with any shoe is its sleekness, and these are as sleek as they come. This Apollo Moc is wavy. With my recent sock-less striding, these would surely stay on my feet. Finally, a moccasin with elite style.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cameron White<\/h2>\n

Nike Lunar TR1 \u201cWeek Zero\u201d Collection “Texas”<\/p>\n

“Horns Up, Texas Fight!”
\n<\/p>\n

Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n

adidas Y-3 Qasa Shell<\/p>\n

“I’m not a huge Y-3 fanboy, but I really like some of their shoes and apparel. I think the adidas Y-3 Qasa Shell is amazing. At first look, it’s just a plain Y-3 runner, but that is what’s amazing about it. Once you look deeper, you realize they’ve managed to merge lux leather, neoprene fit, Roll-Bar cushioning and the usually super-pronounced “Shell Toe” in a manner that’s minimal but not monotone. I can’t drop $400 on these, but I can definitely appreciate what they’re doing design wise. Hats off to the Y-3 team.”
\n<\/p>\n

Mike Parsley<\/h2>\n

Nike Solarsoft “Summer”<\/p>\n

“Summer still has a long way to go down in the Lone Star State, which means I could get a lot of wear out of these. Both colorways look pretty sweet to me, but I’d opt for the blue hue due to the fact that I’m not a huge fan of super-bright sneakers.”
\n<\/p>\n

Kin Kwan<\/h2>\n

Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star <\/p>\n

“I’m really digging the colored prints on both the low-cut Chucks. Maybe I’ll pick up a pair before fall comes around.”
\n<\/p>\n

Zaul Zamora<\/h2>\n

Gourmet Quadici Lite Light Vegtan\/Chili Pepper<\/p>\n

“These remind me of the Eddie Bauer duck boots from the ’90s, with a modern update on colors and materials. One of my favorite models from Gourmet, you won’t be “ducking” any crowds with these on!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sid Ashford<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Flightposite PRM “Copper”<\/p>\n

“Throwing one of my all-time favorite colorways on one of my all-time favorite silhouettes? Classic.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
