NIke SB Dunk Hi Brainwreck
















So I liked my last pair of dunks so much that I decided that I needed another pair. I looked at a lot of other dunks like the Guccis and the papa bears, but I think that these were the best pair for the best price. All around its a really clean shoe with out lots of extra stuff thrown on it. Almost the entire upper is a grey suede except the toe-box, swoosh, back-tab, and tongue. The swoosh and back tab are a plastic/rubber like material. The toe-box and tongue are both a bright pink 3m material. The shoes also came with a pair of grey kevlar laces, but like i've said before I don't really like kevlar laces. On the heel of the left shoe it says brain and on the heel of the right it says wreck. By far the coolest thing about these shoes is the brain pattern that is stitched in to the sock liner of the shoes. The 3m material is a bit stiff and it creases really easily but other than that these are pretty good shoes.

1/2 Cent Black/Green
















When I first saw the 1/2 cents, I knew I liked them. The colorways were clean as was the design. Last time I was at nike town I saw these, but they were almost 200 bucks, which I didn't want to spend on these. So when I was buying my purple foams today I saw that these were on sale, so I picked these up for almost half price. The entire side panel wrap around is the foamposite material. The rest of the upper which is pretty much the eyelets and the back bit is all suede. The tongue is a mesh material. The thing that stands out about this shoe the most to me is the semi-translucent green bottom. I like these shoes a whole lot, and I would highly reccomend them to anyone else who is considering them.

Foamposite One Eggplant
















I'd heard about these coming out for a couple months and I was kind of iffy about them. I know they are a pretty popular shoe, but I wasn't sure if I could really pull them off. The price was a bit off putting as well. However, after lacing them up differently and breaking them in a bit, I have to say I like this shoe now. The entire upper is a eggplant purple foamposite material except for the tongue, which is mesh. The purple on this shoe pops. The color seems to change every I look at it; its pretty cool. The sole is really icey and I plan on keeping it that way. I don't think i'll get any other of the foamposite ones, but I am happy with my purchase.
