Adidas, PUMA, New Balance, Under Armour and every other brand combined. nike slides for women Come on, a year where Nike brought back the Air Force 1 in remastered form, the Neon Air Max 95, the Air Tech Challenge III, the Presto, the Zoom Hawk Flight and introduced us to the Nike Air Max Zero, the Flyknit Racer Multicolor 2.0, the Kobe 10, the Footscape Magista Flyknit and the LeBron 12 Low was a bad year? Sure, dude& Whether you copped them at the tail end of 2014 or in a restock in 2015, the Fragment Design x Air Jordan 1 was a must-have for many sneakerheads. The first  remastered Jordan retro also has the co-sign of Fragment s Hiroshi Fujiwara.

Weighing at over 20 pounds was this behemoth locker from Pepsi and Nike to celebrate Uncle Drew. We ve talked about this before but when Nike allows an outside company to nike tn womens work on their kicks, you know it s a big deal. An amazing job by everybody involved in this project.Nike and Jordan Brand own the retro space so it really shouldn t come as a surprise that they would also dominate the best new retro colorway category like they did nike trainers the best OG revival that we put up a few days ago. While we can appreciate the return of a classic every now and then, it s the new stuff that keeps the sneaker circle of life going and when brands get them right.

Not sure why an Air Jordan 1 in an orange colorway initially got my attention, but for some reason it reeled me in. Soon thereafter we got word that there was an actual inspiration behind the shoe. We all found out that the Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard was actually inspired by a dunk Michael Jordan nike zoom 2k did back in 1985 during a Nike exhibition game in Italy. During that game, Jordan threw it down so hard that he actually shattered the backboard while wearing a uniform that came in orange, black and white. The inspiration/theme behind the shoe was a dope way to spotlight a moment in Jordan s history that not many people knew of, which made me want the shoe even more.

From a marketing standpoint, I guess I never understood why no maker had capitalized on movie jerseys (I still want a West Canaan Coyotes Jonathan Moxon #4 jersey. Nike preferably). So many great looking movie jerseys and movie players warranted merch I thought, yet nobody wanted to partner with a studio. Toy makers have. Cereal companies have. So many people wanted to have their hand in the motion picture cookie jar, yet footwear and apparel companies stayed away.You ve seen the movie. At least I hope you have. From a sneaker standpoint, it is one of the most comprehensive displays of Nike of the day.

In fact, Complex feature writer A Complete Sneaker Guide to Spike Lee s  He Got Game  .If you ve seen  Above the Rim , and please, nike hyperdunk I hope you have, you know that it had a HEAVY Reebok influence. In  Any Given Sunday , we again had Reebok and saw what was perhaps our first pop culture look into what would be the juggernaut that is Under Armour.  He Got Game was all Nike/Jordan, all the time.With those in force I have to ask,  HOW HAS NIKE OR JORDAN BRAND NEVER RELEASED A LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL JESUS SHUTTLESWORTH JERSEY? Taking a page out of the earlier mentioned Villa x Fabolous deal, would UA create movie jerseys for Beamen and Shuttlesworth? Nope.
