The Next Air Max L

I woke up yesterday at 6:55am. I had no work or school, so why would I get up that early? Oh that's right. To purchase sneakers.

I tried to purchase the Sean Wotherspoon Air Max 97/1 from the SNKRS app. There was a draw system, meaning that it was basically a raffle. You enter and pray for the best.

No shocker here, you take the loss and go on. It'll just make the next cop even better. What's coming up? That's right, the Off-White collaboration with Nike on the VaporMax. These new ones are pretty similar to the first drop, except the Nike logo is blacked out and the sole is clear. I've been wanting to try out VaporMax for a while now, and what better way than with Off-White. I can't wait to take this L.

Final Blog!

It's been very fun to have a blog that I enjoyed writing. I hope that I increased your sneaker knowledge this quarter, and hopefully, you'll be buying cooler shoes now!

I think I've gotten most of the models that I would want, so I'll be more selective in my sneaker purchases in the future. If you need a great everyday shoe, then I highly recommend anything with Boost from Adidas or even the new Nike REACT. 

Air Max Day

March 26th is a big day for Nike fans. It's the day that they celebrate one of their most iconic innovations, Air technology. The air bubbles in the Nike soles appear on many models, from all Air Maxes to even Jordans.

The big release from this release date is the Sean Wotherspoon Air Max 97. I think the shoes are pretty nice but the hype is insane on them. I'll definitely try to cop but I won't be sad if I don't get them.

My Radar

For the most part, I have all the shoes I want and need. I have my favorite pair of Jordan 1s and 5s. I have a pair of Yeezys. I have a bunch of Boost and some Vans. Oh, can't forget my flyknit racers.

There's still always shoes that you want. The deals that I will be scouring the local Facebook groups for are going to be some Raptor 7s, Black Cement 3s, and White Cement 4s.

I hope I can trade some shoes away or get some money saved up. I look forward to adding these to my collection soon!

My latest L

These shoes are so ugly. They're so expensive ($300 retail price!). Yet I wanted them for one simple name: Yeezy.

The Yeezy Boost 700 released this past Saturday for the first time via Adidas. They initially released via Yeezy Supply last year but sat online for a while (meaning didn't sell out initially).

With hype increasing, everyone wanted these. I did too, so I set my alarm on for 4am to try to get them. Yeezy Supply releases shoes at a random time.

I woke up by myself at 2am and stayed up, remaining in contact with a friend who was trying to buy these as well. I took a quick nap around 5:30am and my friend called me to tell me that they went live.

I woke up and immediately tried to purchase. Sold out. My friend struck out as well but he got them on a restock later.

Another L. At least I saved around $350 when you factor in tax and shipping.

My latest pickup

I'm glad I was able to get a shoe that I really wanted. The Air Jordan 1 "Bred Toe" was slated as a general release, but was very difficult to purchase.

I got lucky and hit on Nike's SNKRS app. The shoes retailed for $160, but are going for about double that in the secondary market.

These are very beautiful, and now I just need a nice day to break them out.

The Best Walking Shoes

In the past five years, you may have noticed a trend on people's feet: the Nike Roshe Run. I personally have had a couple pairs of those, just because of how light and sturdy they were. This was until I discovered BOOST.

Adidas uses their technology BOOST in most of their shoes today. It literally feels like you're walking on clouds. The price may be high but I certainly believe it's worth it. Funny backstory, apparently Nike was offered this technology first but passed on it. Adidas took it, ran with it, and have dominated the past three or so years in sneakers.

My personal favorites are the Adidas Ultra Boost and Yeezy Boost 350. The picture attached is the Adidas Energy Boost, but you can tell what the ball looks like with the technology. It covers the entire midsole.
