While i REALLY cant decide how i feel about these Jordan xi lows that are dropping in June, i cant say i disapprove.

They are not technically a classic colorway and have an extreme contrast between the white/black, with little black to balance it out on the sole. These xi's do still have that crispy Jordan feel. The icey gum sole is comforting in a strange way.

I predict lots of female's wearing these, and people with a more daring fashion sense. Not even just sneaker heads, these could break into a higher fashion bracket. These xi's are just, different. I can also see these with lots of crazy socks this summer. 

White/black tank, black sweat shorts, cheetah print socks... these jays. bong. swag.

Okay, so im all for bringing back the 90's... but CHILL FIVE THESE ARE TOO MUCH.

Moon boot looking ass, ten ankle strap having ass,cinder blocked kicks. This is Like Jordan meets supra meets court force meets swishy pants and gold rope.

Im calling it now, dudes who rock these will most likely also own the Adidas gorilla kicks, and would approve of the OG game boy as a chain medallion.

Timeless pieces are always in style as your work your outfit around them. Lands End duck boots FTW

DONT BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! High fashion is cool but so is not giving a fuck. Classic shoes, classic hood, carhart pants, fresh snap.

You can always wear your leather skirt tomorrow!

This is a screenshot of SoleCollector.com (release date page) displaying the general consensus of sneakerheads thoughts on "Cop or Not?" 

Quite frankly I disagree with so many people passing on these. Maybe its because of the foam posit release, or maybe its because these are not a true retro colorway. Either way I think sneaker heads are too stubborn. They are stuck in their ways, so to speak. This sneaker may be less collectible then the xiii's dropping later this month, but the white/ black-gym red is FIRE. Clean, simple, great looking shoe. The green side "air jordan" emblem adds flavor. These would look sick with shorts, khakis, or a crispy dark wash jean.

I say PASS on those FOAMS and cop these white joints anticipating summer. Namean.

REEBOK

Reebok Classic…..

So as some of you may have noticed, Reebok has been going super hard as of late. From Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz being behind their new campaign, to now jumping on the Kieth Haring and “well made backpacks” bandwagon.

Heres how i see it: Good and Bad

Bags will always sell. People need to carry their laptops and shit while still looking fly.. Reebok is not known for making bags but i dont knock them for giving it a shot.

                                       GOOD

The BACKPACKS come in Red and Black. Very simple, well made, durable, with their new “R” logo being the only real visual on the backpack. It has a good shape, kind of thinner then some others like Herschel etc. The colors work for Reebok too. Nothing too earthy and Hipster. CLASSIC. -Im backing these.

                                        BAD

The BAGS on the other hand… Too much. Tans, beige’s, some wanna be US army type backpack, a beach bag/ canvas bag thing? Chill.. i realize there is a huge market for this shit but you are REEBOK not some earthy slim fit hipster company you guys are looking way too thirsty. -Chill.

Check out the bags on Freshness: http://www.freshnessmag.com/2013/02/25/reebok-classic-spring-2013-bag-collection/

Sneakers are what Reebok has always been about. This is what will make or break this comeback. There are two things ive noticed with their recent sneaker releases.

                                       GOOD

The CLASSICS. People love classics, fashion is always recycling. Aside from the trainers and runners that weve seen Rick Ross wearing in magazine adds, the classic BASKETBALL sneakers are huge for me. The Reebok Kamikaze II is a GREAT looking, classic high top shoe. In my opinion better looking then Nike’s recent court force releases. Which is big considering NIKE is on top of the world, and thats who Reebok is up against. Reebok is also releasing SHAQ sneakers such as 'Shaqnosis' later this year which you can read about on TheShoeGame: http://theshoegame.com/articles/reebok-shaqnosis-release-date.html

                                       BAD

KEITH HARING BANDWAGON JUMPING IS NOT SOMETHING I APPROVE OF, so this opinion may be biased. Reebok’s Kieth Haring foundation x Reebok collaboration is a collection of four pairs of incredibly ridiculous and overpriced limited footwear. You will soon learn that all the ” over the top b/s gorilla on my sneakers OG game boy on my chain ” HYPE is not my style. LETS BE CIVILIZED! I know the Kieth Haring foundation has been selling rights to everyone and their mother but you being the 10th recent company to do a collaboration is called hopping on a BANDWAGON. If Reebok was going to take a chance selling beach bags, perhaps being A LITTLE different then other brands in the industry couldn’t hurt. I mean all business points aside just leave Kieth Haring out of it!

If you are a seasoned (by seasoned i mean old enough to value comfort) SNEAKERHEAD, you will appreciate these m1300's by NB. If you cant respect these you just have some maturing to do!
