Sneakerology 101 x Reebok Reverse Jam
We late. But we got to shout out the Sneakerology 101 folks at Carnegie Mellon (not affiliated with our site) doing their thing big time with this Reebok collaboration.
Reebok The Question Retro
One of best Reeboks ever is being retrooooed. Clean and simple, just the way we like it.
Via Sneaker Files:
Since Allen Iverson came over to Detroit and got rid of the ‘rows, Reebok decided to make a new change as well: in the form of a shoe. The Reebok “The Question,” A.I.’s signature shoe, is being released in a retro colorway white and pearl navy, which was the original colorway of The Question back in ’96. Of course it features the signature icey blue sole, as well as a pearl navy toebox and a white leather upper, to make a shoe fit for a Detroit fan or any fan of shoes. This retro is available only in limited quantities so be sure to own a piece of history.
Kobe Bryant “Los Lakers”
Nice to see Kobe wearing GRs on the courts. We’re also liking the Los Lakers uniforms. Via Nice Kicks.
Nike Foamposite Lite “Kryptonate”
Big ups to Nate Dawg!
eBay: Sneakers Price Drop
Okay, we know the economy isn’t doing well and people aren’t buying kicks either. We’ve dropped our prices for sneakers on eBay and we’re think they’re pretty reasonable. If you don’t think so, send us message on eBay with offers.
eBay: Sneakers for Sale
Our bad for the long hiatus. School has been keeping us quite occupied. In the next couple of weeks, we’ll have some great holiday deals available on eBay. Most shoes are deadstock and $100 or less. Here’s a sample of what’s to come:
Jordan Brand "Jumpman" Logo
Props to retrourfeet on NT:
Here’s part of an interview with HOOP Magazine from April of 1997 where Mike talks about the creation of the Jumpman Logo.
“I wasn’t even dunking on that one. People think that I was. I just stood on the floor, jumped up and spread my legs and they took the picture. I wasn’t even running. Everyone thought I did that by running and taking off. Actually, it was a ballet move where I jumped up and spread my legs. And I was holding the ball in my left hand.”
Not many people know that the original idea for the photo shoot of the Jumpman came from an older photo of Mike in Life Magazine for the 1984 Olympics.
Nike Prosthetics
Okay, these are not sneaker-related but we think these prosthetics look amazing.
(If you think we’re straying too far away from meaningful content, the dude is wearing a pair of AJ IVs).

Nike Air Flight Lite High Retro
Now this is a RETRO shoe, a clean colorway that stays true to the OG model.
Via Hypebeast:
As a witness to the Chicago Bulls reign over the NBA in the 90’s, I can still remember Pip wearing those classic Nike air flights while terrorizing the opposition. In the latest series of flight lite high retros, we get a look at the Bulls reminiscent colorway featuring the all too familiar red/white/black colorway. Along with a high top feature, the kicks provide excellent ankle support and comfort for playing ball or simply just looking fly.
Nike Air Force 1 “Oxford”
We generally don’t like the bulkiness of AF1s either but we gotta agree: these look fantastic (at least on our computer screens).
Words by hyrcollective:
I don’t know what’s wrong me but I think I want these Air Force 1s. I hate AF1s; They’re bulky, the midsole is so high it feels like a platform shoe, and most of the colourways are average to me. But I’m kind of digging this oxford pack and I don’t think I want to grow up and wear man shoes just yet. Like Hansel, oxford cloth is so hot right now and I’m a huge sucker for gum soles. The black pair is my favourite of the bunch as the the shades of red and blue are little too strong I think. The pack is a Tier 0 release slated for late September, time will tell if I come to my senses…
Nike Zoom Flight 95 Obsidian / White / Orange Blaze
We’re not commenting so much on the new colorway but we gotta use our late pass for this: Nike, how’d you lose Jason Kidd?!
Bonus: Throwback Pic
Via Sneaker Files:
Jason Kidd may be past his days of being a former poster child for powerhouse sneaker company, Nike, but as he joins Shane Battier among other with Chinese brand Peak, Nike continues to put out his signature sneaker, Zoom Flight 95, in new color-ways. Appearing in a combination of obsidian, white and orange blaze, this color-way looks to pay homage to the New Jersey Nets, a team Jason Kidd spent a few seasons with. The sneaker consists of an obsidian upper, red accents and a white sole. The premium Zoom Flight 95 is now available at LTD Online.
Nike Air Max “Mid-Autumn Festival” Pack
Ca-leaaaaan!
Via Sneaker Files:
A few days ago we reported the Nike Mid-Autumn Festival Pack, a trio of sneakers inspired by the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. The package consists of the Air Max 1, Blazer Mid, and Terminator High. Each sneaker is made up of metallic gold and red along with laser etched designs featuring the rabbit/hare, a significant icon in Chinese history. The sneakers really define premium sneakers at their best, which contributes to their high price tag. The Mid-Autumn Festival Pack is now available at RMK Store.
