nike air max 1 sport red shoe

Nike Air Max 1 Sport Red

On March 26th Nike will celebrate Air Max Day. This year is a extra special with it being the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 1, the style that started it all. For this occasion, Nike have released the Air Max 1 OG Sport Red. It comes to us in all its retro glory with the grey, white and sport red upper alongside the white midsole and famous Air Max unit in the heel. What I really love about this release is that Nike have gone all out to make us feel like its 1987, bringing the sneaker to us in the original shape and shoe box that it came in. These sold out instantly everywhere.

Nike PG1 Obsidian/Gold

It might be a month of Air Max releases at Nike but their basketball brand has snuck in a great release with the first colourway of the PG1. This is the first shoe between Paul George, All Star for the Indiana Pacers, and Nike. As a low top sneaker with a forefoot strap, these are good for both performance basketball and street style. The upper is an obsidian blue with violet and gold accents and a white midsole. This is one of the nicer Nike basketball releases of the year so far and at a good price too, be sure to grab them from select Nike basketball retailers and Nike online.

adidas iniki runner shoe

adidas Iniki Runner

adidas just doesn’t seem to be letting up with their releases this year. This time they have bought us the Iniki Runner, a retro looking upper featuring modern comfort and style. The style is the newest lifestyle silhouette from adidas and has the boost midsole that we all love. The upper pays homage to adidas’ roots, looking similar to a spezial or gazelle. This first release features red and navy colourways with a canvas and suede upper finished with the iconic three white stripes, white boost midsole and a gum sole. The Iniki is incredibly nice but limited, so grab them before they rise to the popularity of adidas styles before them from an adidas originals store or adidas online.
