Nike Flyknit Trainer + Royal/Electric
When I first heard about Nike Flyknit I knew I wanted a pair regardless of what they looked like. I really wanted the HTM models but of course those were pretty much unattainable unless I wanted to pay 1000 on ebay. Over the summer this model and the racer came out. In my opinion this model is much better looking than the racer which was kind of thin and only really good for running. These on the other hand can be used for working out or just walking around, hanging out. The whole upper is a woven single piece made out of Nike's new yarns. It's a pretty cool shoe up close and personal. Different parts of the shoe have different weaves. So the toe and heel areas have very tight weave to secure the foot and lock down, but the sides are a looser knit to promote air flow. The sole seems to be lunar, if not then it's some other light nike foam. I was not disappointed at all with these. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who was considering them.
Air Jordan 4 Military Blue
Been a while since I've made a post. Haven't really been buying too many shoes since I just go to school full time now. I got these at the beginning of last summer. They are my first pair of fours. I was a bit hesitant to buy these when I first saw them because I wasn't quite sure I liked how they looked with the tab on the back and the straps on the sides. But after seeing them more in person and wearing them, my opinion has definitely changed. Overall the shoe seems to be made better than some other jordan's I've bought in the past. Maybe it's just that's there is more padding and a different leather, but I was very impressed with these. I'm quite glad I ended up buying these since they are super comfortable and better looking than the average shoe out there.

Air Jordan 3 black/cement
These were the first Jordans I ever really wanted. I still think these are the best looking Jordans ever made. They go with anything: shorts, pants, sweats, whatever. I actually got these shoes back in November the day after Thanksgiving; I'm just incredibly lazy and never wrote a post about these.The only problem I have with these is that I got them a size too big, since that's all they had left. These shoes are fucking sick, and I'm really glad I managed to be able to get my hands on a a pair.

Nike Air Huarache Bbal 2012 Qs
These shoes are quite a mouthful to say. When I first saw these on the internet, I knew right away that I needed to get them. They are just so clean and unique; I doubt I'm going to see anyone else at school with these. The upper is an old school 90's basketball shoe, and the bottom is a new school free run sole. All the white on the upper is all white leather, and the blue and purple are neoprene like materials. The bottom black part is a soft rubbery plastic white the top black part is a nubuck material. I actually got these about 2 months before they released stateside. I got them off the internet from a uk site. They sold out almost immediately and I was very surprised, but then I figured out they just hadn't released that many pairs yet. This shoe feels really great on feet, and looks even better. its like a high top but doesn't necessarily feel like one. These are my new gym shoes after the Kobes since they are starting to fall apart.

Nike SB Dunk Pro Low Uk Passport
These are the last pair that I was bad about updating. I got these at the end of summer from my grandpa; I thought this would be a good pair of dunk pros to start off with. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the dunk pros yet. On one hand, the sole is more cushioned and the toes feel better; on the other hand, the heel and tongues feel weird and kind of throw off the whole fit of the shoe. I'm gonna try wearing them with different socks and see how they feel. The whole top is very short cut suede, but the side panels and toe boxes have an tumbled and cracked looking leather. Overall, I'm liking these shoes quite a bit, but I think I'm gonna get a pair of mids next.
Jordan V Black/Metallic
So I've been incredibly lazy this past quarter, and hopefully in the new year that'll change. I got these before I even started school, and I didn't even by them. My friend William really wanted, but when he got to the store they didn't have his size. He bought these anyways and gave them to me. I'm really glad I ended up getting them; even though I still haven't worn them out yet. The only reason I didn't but them was because I wasn't sure I could pull them off, and I don't think I can yet but that's not the point. the shoe feels like it's built pretty well. The upper is all black nubuck with a 3m tongue. They're a little big but other than that they fit quite nicely. I would recommend getting these but I doubt anyone will find these in stores anymore.

Vans Era Wingtip
So, I've had these shoes for awhile, but I've been very lazy about updating. I've never owned a pair of Vans Eras before, so I wanted my first pair to be unique. At the same time, I had been wanting a pair of wingtips; therefore, this pair seemed like the right idea. The whole upper is leather including the laces. It's a decently nice quality leather on the shoes. Overall, they are a nice pair of shoes, and I'm glad I decided to purchase them.
