With another year gradually drawing to a close, sneakerheads have surely had their fill of retro releases. Brands all across the board dug deep into their respective crates to unearth some of their popular silhouettes in their most popular colorways. Keeping the tradition alive, we honor this year\u2019s Thanksgiving holiday with a look back at some of the retro releases we were most thankful for.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Command Force<\/h2>\n

From David Robinson to Billy Hoyle, this high-cut basketball gem was a welcomed retro after quite some time away. Though the $200 price tag may have thrown a few off, many embraced the nostalgia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 6s<\/h2>\n

With the return of its classic \u201cSport Blue,\u201d \u201cCarmine,\u201d and \u201cInfrared\u201d motifs complete, the Air Jordan 6 took its legendary profile up a few more notches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue”<\/h2>\n photo by Shelf Life<\/a>\n

Though the name may have changed, the color scheme is enough to keep the holiday AJ11 tradition alive and well. Back for the first time in years, plenty of thanks are in order for this bring-back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max Penny 1 “All Star”<\/h2>\n photo via Packer Shoes<\/a>\n

Worn by Penny Hardaway during the \u201996 All-Star Game, the return of this colorway is a breath of fresh air and worth every penny.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Huarache<\/h2>\n photo via Haven<\/a>\n

Whether it was a brand new colorway or an OG-inspired look, the Nike Air Huarache certainly made its presence felt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Crazy 8 II<\/h2>\n

Kobe may be on his ninth signature shoe with the Swoosh, but the return of his old adidas Crazy 8 II instantly took every one back to the spry, small afro-rocking Bryant who wore the number 8.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Flight Huarache<\/h2>\n photo by Kin Kwan\n

With its running counterpart taking over retailers far and wide, the Nike Air Flight Huarache presented a hearty dose of \u00a0Fab 5 approved flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas EQT Guidance 93<\/h2>\n

Showing that retro runners are still hot, the adidas EQT Guidance 93 proved that it still has what it takes to reign supreme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 11 Low “Concord”<\/h2>\n photo by Kin Kwan\n

Leaving its mark all over 2014, the low-top version of the Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Jordan 11 caused quite a stir with the long-anticipated release of the \u201cConcord\u201d colorway. The shoe of choice for Derek Anderson during his tenure with the Spurs, and for MJ while he played beer pong, we certainly relished the opportunity to snatch these up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas EQT Cushion 91<\/h2>\n

Still a fan favorite, the adidas EQT Cushion 91 launched in a barrage of colorways well equipped to satisfy any retro running crave.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Wheat”<\/h2>\n

Nike crafted and Ronnie Fieg approved, the Nike Air Force 1 Mid broke the Fall season with its grain-inspired drop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Stan Smith<\/h2>\n photo by End<\/a>\n

An ace from its classic lineup, adidas backhanded retailers in straight sets with a seemingly endless delivery of Stan Smiths.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reebok Pump<\/h2>\n photo by Wish ATL<\/a>\n

Turning 25, the Pump celebrated its birthday in style throughout the year with a slew of collaborations leading up to the release of a two-piece OG pack. Happy birthday to ya!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Etonic Akeem “The Dream”<\/h2>\n photo by Wish ATL<\/a>\n

Very vintage, the Etonic Akeem “The Dream” retro release delighted fans of Rockets great.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Top Ten Hi<\/h2>\n photo by Kin Kwan\n

Back like it never left, the adidas Top Ten Hi not only reminded sneakerheads of its rich hoops history, but also provided 2 Chainz with a collab that was 2 Good To Be T.R.U.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New Balance 997<\/h2>\n photo via Sneaker Freaker<\/a>\n

Providing a blast back to New Balance\u2019s running past, the 997 ran all over 2014 in a multitude of ways. Whether it was an in-line drop or a premium collab with Concepts, the famed silhouette set its own pace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 14 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d<\/h2>\n

Originally released in 1999 and brought back in September, the \u201cBlack Toe\u201d AJ14 was a pleasant sight to see. Releasing in original fashion for the first time as a retro, the drop was still the highlight of September.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Forum Hi<\/h2>\n

Another classic hoops silos from the Three Stripes, the adidas Forum Hi stands just as tall now as it did when it first debuted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Key Trainer<\/h2>\n

Keyshawn Johnson may have traded in the gridiron for the broadcast booth, but his adidas Key Trainer ran a crisp fly route with its retail touchdowns.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 10 \u201cPowder Blue\u201d<\/h2>\n

Though it took Jordan Brand a while to bring back, the \u201cPowder Blue\u201d AJ10 owned the month of February.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Raid<\/h2>\n photo by Kin Kwan\n

Another Tinker creation, the outdoor-ready silhouette re-emerged in OG fashion with its Blacktop-inspired vibes balling in full force.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black\/White<\/h2>\n

After last year\u2019s impressive AJ1 drops, the silhouette struck again with its Black\/White High OG drop. Though it got some run with the CDP offerings, it was still a must have during its latest appearance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 98<\/h2>\n photo by Wish ATL<\/a>\n

The follow up to the 97, the AM98 was a celebrated release by fans of the iconic model.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 2 White\/Red<\/h2>\n photo by Kin Kwan\n

The Air Jordan 2 came back in a major way in 2014. Though the White\/Red colorway was last seen in 2008, its OG-inspired presence was still well received.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 93<\/h2>\n photo by Crooked Tongues<\/a>\n

Another key piece in Nike\u2019s Air Max line, the 93 kicked it old school with the return of some original looks but also added some new colorways to its repertoire in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
