Completed Additions / Performance Review: Nike Flight Huarache OG

« on: December 17, 2016, 03:35:35 pm »

The nike huarache kaufen debuted back in 1992 and quickly turned people’s heads with its unconventional design. Inspired by a South American sandal, and originally made as a running shoe, the Flight Huarache features a stripped down basketball shoe which leaves players with exactly what they need and nothing more. When Nike released the shoe in its OG colorway we knew we just had to get one. Now, 22 years after its original release, we test out the Flight Huarache on the court. Let’s get to it!


The nike air huarache run ultra damen ‘Bold Berry’ colorway was made popular on the court by Michigan’s Fab5 led by Chris Webber. Conceptualized by Tinker Hatfield and with the help of Eric Avar, the sneaker took on a minimalist design and was definitely ahead of its time. A blue and purple neoprene bootie, inspired by water skiing booties, serves a the base of the shoe. White synthetic leather covers the upper and acts as an exoskeleton to support the neoprene base. A black TPU heel guard wraps around the ankle and heel area with the NIKE branding at the back. A white pylon midsole with heel air bag completes this classic stripped down sneaker.

Before trying on the nike air max thea damen günstig I was expecting the cushioning to be a bit firm, with it being a retro shoe. Once I had it on I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t feel firm at all. It wasn’t an obvious bouncy feeling but you knew you had something there and it was comfy right off the box. The Huarache uses a Phylon midsole and also one of the first Nike models to do so. Compared to other types of midsoles, phylon stays in between the softness of Cushlon and responsiveness of Lunarlon and that’s exactly how it felt. On the court it didn’t give me any extra bounce pushing off on the forefoot but at the same time it had enough impact protection at the heel, with the air bag added inside. Overall, it provided what you needed.

Perforations at the toe box and the tongue area are the main points of breathability. Using neoprene and having less material overall probably also helps with the overall ventilation. I don’t think there will be any issue in this area.

The outsole features mostly herringbone pattern that is bigger and has more space in between than other sneakers that use this pattern. It still works well and gives you good grip on your cuts and change of direction. Bigger spaces in between the grooves also allow less dirt to get stuck so that’s a good thing. I liked the traction on this one and I was able to do what I wanted on the court.

nike air max tavas günstig. Most of the support comes from the fit provided by the neoprene boot which hugs your foot well. Added support comes from the exoskeleton which wraps around your foot right at the midfoot and keeps it locked in. The TPU heel guard also helps keep your heel from moving and I really felt that it was always in place. The extended ankle collar helps wrap around your foot at the top but this doesn’t really provide extra support on your ankles. You might be concerned for the stripped-down materials on the shoe but you’ll be surprised that it still provides good support around your ankle. Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar did a good job in making the neoprene and leather exoskeleton all work together to provide that dynamic fit and comfort.

Overall, I really liked the nike air zoom pegasus 33 damen laufschuh. Given that it’s retro shoe, I didn’t expect much on performance but this could easily be one of the pairs in your rotation today. The shoe was ahead of its time and provided the blueprint for some of the Nike models we use today. Good fit, lightweight, and being one of the top 20 sneakers to change the game make this a must cop. Releasing in the OG colorway not since its original form in ’92 also make this a shoe you can’t miss.

General SMFShop Discussion / SNEAKEROOT: Nike Cortez

« on: December 17, 2016, 03:32:57 pm »

Bill Bowerman worked with Onitsuka Tiger to adapt Japanese models to American feet. Mixing the materials in a flip-flop with various athletic shoes, Bowerman designed the Onitsuka Aztec, named after the influence of the Olympic games in Mexico 1968. However, adidas had already created an Aztec Mexico, so Bowerman had to rename it. They were determined to end with the Aztec and Bowerman chose the name of ‘the Spanish that ended with the Aztecs’. Thus, the nike cortez ultra was born.

In 1972, Bill Bowerman stopped working with Onitsuka and created his own brand, Nike. As a designer of the Cortez, he wanted to introduce the shoe to the new brand and a judge had to make the decision. Both Nike and Onitsuka could continue selling the same product, but only Nike had the right to call it Cortez. The different names given to that shoe were not the only changes: almost every season, the Cortez suffered small changes to suit runners. It was the perfect reason to have a thousand new versions to reedit.

The nike cortez womens are definitely making a comeback. In our online store you can find a great variety of colors, so make sure to keep an eye on them!

Also highlighted here is an all new Air Max 1 featuring a similar set of tones, with its green and yellow hues, and bringing back popular safari print to the silhouette. Both sneakers are now available for purchase by phone order and in-store at our Moreland Ave. location.

Wrapping the silhouette is its premium suede which helps to complete the sneakers premium look. Stay tuned for the “treeline” Air Huarache to be released in a few days.

Utilizing Nike’s Air Huarache and Air Max 90 silhouette’s, both sneakers feature varsity red inside and out.

You read about it last week, saw a couple of rough renderings. But today comes your first look at the nike air max 90 black, a shoe rife with potential if ever there were one.

Marrying together classic aesthetics and innovative technology, the Flyknit Air Max 90 swaps in a seamless, all-woven construction, replacing the usual leather, mesh and/or suede. A Hyperfuse film delineates the model’s signature mudguard without adding bulk, and the whole thing is built atop a cushy, cored-out foam midsole. Best of all, the shoe looks to be launching in the AM90’s iconic “Infrared” colorway — that beloved mix of white, grey, black and bright red.

Check out the first four nike air max 90 Ultra Essential colorways below — Nike Air Max 90 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit, officially — and stay tuned for a release date.

We world-premiered it back in December, and now — finally! — the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit is set to arrive imminently.

Reinventing one of the Swoosh’s most iconic silhouettes in one of its most beloved innovations, the nike air max 1 ultra flyknit employs a knit construction overlaid with seamless mudguard and Swoosh. The Flyknit shifts between open and closed construction to delineate the AM1’s classic paneling, keeping the aesthetics decidedly classic yet utterly modern.

Earlier this week we previewed the Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0, the second generation of the foam-soled, modernized AM1. It was a departure, sure, but now we have our first glimpse of the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 SI — a mouthful and the real game-changer.

The reimagined model sport the foam midsole and sleek, largely seamless upper we’ve come to expect from Ultras, but that’s only the half of it.

The ripstop synthetic construction seems to feature a translucent tint, a window into the lining beneath, and it’s overlaid with rubberized taping that delineates the seams, replacing traditional panels. Finally, though we’ll need a more detailed look to confirm, the shoe appears to be of the slimmer, deconstructed variety.

Flat out one of the wildest nike air max 1 ultra essential we’ve ever seen, the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 SI is expected on shelves in late-2016. Alas, at the moment all we have is women’s editions, but here’s hoping that changes.
