A re-engineered rendition of the Harden Vol 1’s data-driven pattern was utilized in the Harden Vol 2 and it didn’t pan out the way I had hoped.I never received the same bite that I had experienced on the Harden Vol 1, despite the rubber compound being nearly identical between the two sneakers.

When it gripped I was very pleased, however, I wasn’t pleased the majority of the time while playing in the shoe.Excessive dust collection is a major issue for this pattern and keeping it free of debris will be your number one priority on the court rather than playing.

Surprisingly, I never felt too high off the ground or unstable.

Packing more Boost pellets into the midsole made it firmer, creating more stability while also increasing overall impact protection.Some may not enjoy this setup because it won’t give you that bouncy Boost feeling, but you don’t always have to feel something working — as long as it actually works.

Luckily, Boost actually works, and works really well, so if you were interested in a shoe that provides you with stability, court feel, and tons of impact protection then the Harden Vol 2 might be for you.While I was initially disappointed that a premium or raw material was left off of the Harden Vol 2, once I started playing in it I never once thought, “Some premium leather would enhance my overall experience right now.”The textile mesh at the forefoot required no break-in time while the additional stitching throughout increased the material’s strength quite a bit.

I was very impressed by this and wondered why we’re just starting to see this implemented when we’ve had mesh on basketball shoes for a number of years now.

2018 NBA ALL Star y is right around the corner and Nike has something special for the ladies and men's next week.Three classic models from the Swoosh, the Nike KD 10 and Nike LeBron 15 and Nike Kyrie 4 All Star, get some love for the day of love.Three pairs feature completely white, leather bases, and the pairs are decked out with special pieces at the base of the laces; the right shoes on both pairs sport a detail of three hearts, with the middle in red and the two surrounding hearts in white.This Nike KD 10  ‘All-Star’ features an Ocean Fog, Fuchsia Blast and Hyper Crimson color combination.

Utilizing a multicolor knitted upper while Fuchsia lands on the Nike Swoosh logos on the side.

In addition new have a graphic of Santa Monica on the insoles while a marble pattern outsole completes the look.This Nike LeBron 15 ‘All-Star’ comes dressed in a Rust Pink, Metallic Gold and Black color combination.

Utilizing Light Pink Flyknit across the base, Black lands on the laces, heel and speckled on the midsole.

Following we have Metallic Gold on the branding located at the heel and midsole.

They are also expected to feature a LA graphic on the insoles.The Nike Kyrie 4 ‘All-Star’ One of the more eventful Nike Kyrie 4 releases, this pair comes dressed in Black and White while using a tie dye pattern.

Jordan Brand brings back the iconic Air Jordan 3 Black Cement to celebrate the model’s 30th Anniversary, which will also included Nike Air heels.

For the occasion, we put them up against DJ Khaled’s highly demanded Air Jordan 3 We The Best rendition.Designed by DJ Khaled himself and his closest friends.

This Air Jordan 3 comes dressed in a Red leather upper with elephant print overlays completed with “We The Best” on the heels.The Air Jordan 3 Red  by DJ Khaled is highlighted with Red tumbled leather throughout the uppers while the traditional perforations land on the tongue.

Following we have elephant print which wraps the toe and heel.

The Jumpman branding is done in White while Black accents are seen on the midsole and bottom eyelets.

On the heel we have ‘WE THE BEST’ while on the inside of the heel tab reads #GREATFUL, #WeTheBest, and #stillinthemeeting.the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” released was back in 2011, which didn’t included Nike Air branding.

It has been a long time since Jordan Brand blessed an athlete with a signature shoe; the last one was Chris Paul, and he is on shoe number 10.

Let’s go…From the pattern alone, this traction should be like Peter Parker — sticking to things you don’t even really want to.

The blades should push dirt away and out while gripping the floor, and they did a great job — as long as the floor has at least a little finish on it.On the first court I played on, I was sliding everywhere, having to wipe about every second or third trip down the floor.

Zoom has been around for over 20 years, but when done right, there are very few cushioning systems that can compete with it in the basketball market.The materials used on the Why Not Zer0.1 aren’t exactly premium, as the upper is mesh and fuse, but the way the lines are cut and layered, it works.

The inner bootie is open mesh and feels great on-foot — no hot spots or harsh rubs to cause blisters — even though the ventilation is terrible and the upper fits tightly all around your foot (usually, when you combine those two traits, blisters come next).The lacing system uses the Flightweb system that is almost exactly the same as the Air Jordan 29 under the fuse cover.

On the plus side, the counter/heel is lined by some seriously thick padding that helps with lockdown and keeping that counter from rubbing your ankle until you bleed.Lastly, the tongue is 3M and the “Why Not?” graphic should be on the outside (it needs to be seen).

Let’s do this…Speaking of staying the same, the Heat Seeker uses the exact same midsole and outsole as the Drive 4.

The blades are thick and widely spaced, which means plenty of surface area to grab and plenty of space to push dust out of the way.The soles were squeaky and loud and stopped on a dime in any direction with no hesitation.There was no sliding on any of the three indoor courts I played on — whether dust was present or not.

The herringbone is good for multiple wears on smooth or rough surfaces and the grooves are deep for longevity.

However, the Heat Seeker showed signs of fraying on the edges of the forefoot and heel from just indoor use after four days of playing.

Not a bad setup, but when HOVR is on the market in the running line, it makes it hard to accept the EVA forefoot found here.On the plus side, the ride is low and the midsole responds to every move you throw at it.

Again, for playing on your toes and quick movements, the foam never has a sinking feeling to slow you down.The Micro G in the heel is what we all used to love — soft but responsive, stable, low-riding, and very protective.

As two kinds of popular sneakers of Air  Jordan, Air Jordan 1 Banned and the Air Jordan 1 Chicago , which is better ?So let us look the details as below :Jordan Brand unveils this insane Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Homage To Home” Sample that combines the famed “Banned” and “Chicago” colorways into one cohesive sneaker.

The shoes are split down the tongue, with the “Banned” color owning the lateral side and the “Chicago” on the medial.

This may remind you of the Air Jordan 1 “Quai 54” Friends and Family that was revealed during the big event in Paris.jordan Brand is bringing the correct heat to the green with the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Golf Shoe.

We first saw a similar sample leaked by MJ’s son Marcus, but with official images now live, it appears that a release is near – potentially closer to late Spring.

This familiar “Chicago” colorway has some differences from the basketball original, like the “Nike” Wings logo, the larger Jumpman on the tongue, and of course, the new outsole fit for the green.With the Retro prices at an all-time high, consumers have stopped consuming most Retro releases on Saturday in hopes that they grab a grail, or strike it big with a Retro that will fetch them a high resell profit.

That shoe looks to be the ‘Banned’ Air Jordan 1, even though Jordan Brand has proven that it will release the shoe every 3 or so years.However ,   Air Jordan 1 Chicago also  become the most popular  shoes since it released .To the uninitiated, they may look like the same shoe.

The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” is a black and grey version of Michael Jordan’s third signature shoe.

It originally released in 1988, followed by 1994, 2001, 2018, and 2011 featuring a mix of leather, elephant print, and visible Air.

We were also often asked if this 2011 version was competitive with the retro of 2018, after the pack CDP 3/20 (the latter being more easily found and ‘affordable’).

So we are often told that over the years the retro lose enormously in quality, 2018jordans.com helps us to take stock of this release and therefore whether it is better to let go a few dollars more on the 2018 or 2011 proccurer this version.

So sit back, relax and enjoy!Like many recent retros, we note that the colors are not met (we think of the gray cement IV white / cement).

This is unfortunate, but the difference is not so obvious is true condition (in real life, on your feet).Regarding the placement of the label, the 2011 (left) is more consistent with the range by putting Jordan on the inside of the tongue, unlike the 2018 version that hides in the inner side of the sneaker.To counterbalance the darker red varstity of 2011, Jordan Brand to put an Elephant print in black slightly less intense.

The new version goes even darker than the original, removing the hint of dark grey Flyknit is releasing this year .Today we are talking about it .it is used the Nike Vapormax Flyknit  technology as well .

Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock.Nike introduced Flyknit in February 2012 .

There are 5 years !!

!the brand has released an infographic chronicling the lightweight sneaker tech’s complete history.Nike in order to reach the  goal with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability.

Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in one layer—was refined.

The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper.that is the history of Klynit technology.

The Melo line was long thought of as the “luxury” sig, right below the Jordan model as far as materials and technology.

The Melo M13 uses the Flight Speed system and Unlocked Zoom from the Jordan XX9, which rides lower and more stable than the original example.

Honestly, this is the XX9 forefoot because it feels exactly the same; it rides low with great impact protection and springs back to place quickly.Jordan Brand decided with the Jordan 32 that heel Air was not needed, so we were introduced to a cored-out section of foam in the heel of most of its shoes that year including the Super.Fly 2 and the Melo M11.

Nothing has changed, as the M13 stays with the concept.

The mesh isn’t as soft as the KD 10 heel or the Hyperdunk 2016, but for the focus of the Melo line, this version is better because it provide a little more structure.

Once laced solid, there is no heel slip or midfoot movement to really complain about, at least before playing (more on that next).Sizing is dead on; a size 10.5 fits just like a 10.5 should, about a thumb width in the length from the end of my big toe.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and Nike has something special for the ladies next week.Three classic models from the Swoosh, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Valentine’s Day and Nike Blazer Low and Air Jordan 7 GS, get some love for the day of love.Three pairs feature completely white, leather bases, and the pairs are decked out with special pieces at the base of the laces; the right shoes on both pairs sport a detail of three hearts, with the middle in red and the two surrounding hearts in white.On the heel of Three pairs are halves of a broken heart, which can only be put together when side by side with its respective pair.

Pinstripes makes their way onto the tongue, inner lining, and the broken hearts on the heels of each pair.The Valentines Day Air Jordan 7 GS utilizes a dark grey upper with white landing on sections of the midsole and branding.

Black then lands on the tongue, laces and basketball shaped as a heart.

What makes them stand out more is the use of fuchsia hitting up some of the midsole and stitching.Three the Nike Air Force 1 Low and Nike Blazer Low and Air Jordan 7 GS ‘Valentine’s Day’ will release February 10 overseas in women’s sizing on 2018jordans.com

I didn’t run into any issues with the traction on the Why Not Zer0.1 for nearly the entire time I was testing the shoe.

There were a couple of courts that had me wiping the soles free from debris every so often, which wasn’t a big deal, because the grip held in between any wiping just fine.One court I play on regularly is what I like to call the traction killer.

If I take a shoe to that court and it ends up being able to grip then I know the traction is good.

All I knew is that I was enjoying the hell out of the ride and had the reassurance that my heel had cushion if needed.What I loved most is that the Why Not Zer0.1 was a great blend of stability and cushion.

The Air Jordan 31 has that bounce we all hope for with Zoom Air, but at times, it felt wobbly or unstable.

Surprisingly, there were no hot spots or pinching areas for me — even with the lack of ventilation — which was a huge plus.The shoe is definitely not premium, but it works — and works really well.

We’ve seen it with two Air Jordan 4 retros and now we’ll be treated to the surprising return of the Air Jordan 5 White Cement  .And today we are talking about Jordan 5 .Air Jordan 5 White Cement featuring the premium Remastered look of a white leather base while Metallic Silver accents flank the midsole to match that reflective 3M tongue.The clean look is the exact opposite of the more traditional ‘White Cement’,  and it become the popular  one in this year , but the 23 PE stitching remains while an icy outsole will make this pair pristine enough to shine during the warmer months.

and the material is amazing  , it is used the good  leather  which soft .and it will offer up much more durability it is nicely .for the boxes ,it is nothing special .For the cushioning , It is  utinized the  Air unit along with a Polyurethane midsole from the heel and forefoot .

we can feel the bounce when playing and it is not too much longer time that I feel that .we can see the  material in side .we.

can see the parts in this pictureAir Jordan 5 Reviews For the traction : it is used the  rubber traction and the herringbone worked perfectly , but I feel that  it will be a little slip in the  out-court .

I hope that it can improve  next version.I am afraid that it  will brake when I  am running fast for the midsole .For  the  supporting : I don't think it  better .There is a molded arch and a thin internal heel counter .

we just can feel a little support from the upper .

Nike has unveiled its Makers of the Game collection for All-Star and it is comprised of tons of releases.

Two stood out: the Zoom Kobe 1 Protro x Undefeated and the second part of the LeBron 15 Kith collection.Beginning February 15, these releases will begin dropping on 2018jordans.com and Nike SNKRS to celebrate the 2018 All-Star Game.First, Nike and Kobe Bryant have partnered with historic LA boutique Undefeated.

Expect this camo rendition of Kobe’s updated signature on February 15 for $175.Second, Kith’s Ronnie Fieg is back with the second installment of his LeBron x Kith Long Live the King collection.

This part of the collection will feature four footwear styles: a stunning white Nike LeBron 15 Lifestyle, a black and gold LeBron 15 Lifestyle, a white and floral LeBron 15 Performance, and a blacked out LeBron 15 Performance.

“But after seeing how incredible the product turned out I wanted to save it for the most impactful notch in our brand’s timeline yet.

That moment is finally here after years in the making, and I can’t wait to share it with the world.

To this day, the only pair of shoes that I’ve ever cleaned at least once a week is the Nike Air Force 1.

Well, until they get dirty at least.It was in 1982 that Nike designer Bruce Kilgore dialed up his creative mojo and developed one of the most iconic products in the history of fashion itself.

It’s world renowned fame is so focused off the court that its origins as a high performance basketball shoe is hardly known by the vast population who wear them daily.

It was after all the first basketball shoe to have a bag of air inserted into the heel for on-court cushion and support, which has obviously become of Nike’s staple concepts with Zoom Air and Air Max technologies having followed since.

Having basketball roots, these kicks were definitely represented well through six old school players in Moses Malone, Michael Cooper, Jamaal Wilkes, Mychal Thompson, Bobby Jones, and Calvin Natt as they were selected to embody the six original symbolisms of the shoes (heroic/consistent/dominant/courageous/constant/pure).

To commemorate 25 years of excellence for the AF1 in 2007, Nike revived and expanded this concept by creating “The Second Coming” campaign that featured the NBA’s top dogs (at the time) in Shawn Marion, Rasheed Wallace, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O’Neal, and Tony Parker to endorse the Air Force XXV, a shoe that was made to pay homage to the original AF1.Okay, now, let’s get to the shoe itself.

I have been very fond of Under Armour Curry 4 White Gold, and I've been played from Curry 2, 3, 3 Zero, and it's really a good line for the shooting guard.

Under Armour Curry 4 swept the market with new material and colorway  become the most popular colorway in this year .

also a limited edition and  for the colorway of platinum  is also limited, good luck that I got one .So today we are talking about it .Steph Curry had one of his best two-game stretches of the season, dropping 35 points in the Warriors’ come-from-behind victory against the 76ers and then putting up 39 points against the Nets last season.

The two-time MVP laced up the Under Armour Curry 4 “White Gold” silhouette while doing so – the same shoe he wore during Game 5 of last year’s NBA Finals.Under Armour  released “Championship Pack” and  this model of the Curry 4 comes adorned in white with hints of gold to represent the sharp-shooting point guard’s championship winning ways.For the material : Sitting atop the knit is a synthetic leather overlay that adds a little bit of reinforcement to the minimally structured shoe  with white with hints of gold .Socks designed of Curry 4 White Gold have been less the supporting which is the upper vamp woven materials with a very thin layer of artificial leather.

It makes me a bit puzzled because of the price of shoes actually higher .for the ;ave system , it is perfect .

After all, Curry 's grip is almost the top.The spiral pattern put in place offers multi-directional coverage for any move performed at any time.Of course I feel with the cold weather may also have a little relationship, may also be the color of the platinum crystal bottom very easily stained with dust, every kick the ball with a wet paper towel and gently rub on the soles are black, dust inside the lines especially difficult to clean up.For the fitting , I think it small a half of size , I bought the size as usually 44 yards (other brands most is 43), for the wider ,we suggested you can buy more a  half yards, .For the cushioning : the cushioning of Curry 3 and 3.5 are not too bad.

Well, you know how we do…Turf spikes for the hardwood — that’s really the best way to describe the pattern, and it is really a shame, because on dusty floor spikes don’t work.For the first three days of testing I was on a severely unfinished wood floor at 24-hour Fitness (no clear coat at all).

Still nowhere near the best, or even great, but it was good enough.As for durability outdoors — I wouldn’t.

).The huge Zoom units, blended with the Max Zoom in the heel, provide impact protection beyond anything not made of little white pebbles that still bounces back to provide responsiveness underfoot.

If you are needing some intense impact protection because of age or injury, the LeBron 15 Black Gold will have your knees feeling, well, not so damaged.Otherwise known as a really thick Flyknit, Battleknit sounds better — especially when dealing with an athlete like LeBron.

The comfort is still there, the flexibility is freaking awesome, and the durability, so far, seems to be way better than past builds.The thicker weave seen above is stronger and tighter in areas needing containment while over the foot there is more elasticity for better comfort and fit.

The heel stays locked in using the Flywire lacing.
