Air Jordan 10 (X) Retro - Steels

Alright! Here we come the Air Jordan series. No doubt I'm a huge fan of Air Jordan sole. The 1st Air Jordan I would like to show you guys among my collections is Air Jordan 10 (X) Retro - Steels.

This Air Jordan 10 (X) were released on May 7, 2005. It feature a white leather upper, surrounded by black, as well as grey accents, including the lacing area, and outsole, which really draw attention to the shoe. The original colorway featured an extra piece of material on the toe, but Michael did not like it, and had it removed. The outsole features a black and grey striped design which lists many of Michael’s accomplishments, as well as a red Jumpman logo.

Although this sole is not the famous among the 23 pairs of Air Jordan but yet adorable.

Nike KD1 Kevin Durant

Nike KD1. Kevin Durant 1st signature sole with Nike. It received lots of bad comments when the day it launched.

Actually this sole kind of weird when you 1st see it. But when you put it on your feet, you will found that it is unique, and I'm sure that you will become the attraction when you play on the court.

Nike KD1 features a White based upper that is split down the center. The lateral side of the sneaker is simple and features White leather with a Blue Swoosh and an Orange outsole. The inner half of the sneaker features a much more vibrant hit of Orange gradient patent leather that gets darker in orange color from the toe to the ankle. Durant's KD logo is placed at the ankle on the lateral side and his number 35 is embroidered on the medial side.

That was the unique part I talked about! And I also can't resist the unique of this sole and already get 1 for myself. HEEEGEEE. Heres the photos.

Air Jordan Spiz'ike "Do The Right Thing"

1st shoes to introduce for you guys.. I just get 1 of this. HEEEGEEE!

The Air Jordan Spizike was made to show appreciation to Mars Blackmon aka Spike Lee. Spike’s part in the rising of the Air Jordan was very crucial. A lot of people may remember the funny commercials Spike Lee’s alias Mars Blackmon from the movie She’s Gotta Have it.

Initially nicknamed the “retro Frankenstein”, the Air Jordan Spizikes (Spiz’ikes) had as many haters as lovers initially and probably a few more. Many anticipated that this was going to be a bust, but when word got out that the first colorway of the Air Jordan Spizikes would only be available along I-95 (as per Spike Lee’s request), the hype for these shoes boomed!

Initially, the Air Jordan Spizikes were going to be released in only the first two colorways, but after the more than warm reception to the first colorway, Jordan Brand fast tracked 5 new colorways including one that is themed after another hot Spike Lee joint, "Do The Right Thing".

The Air Jordan Spizikes take pieces from the following shoes:
Air Jordan 3 (III) - sole, midsole, and Spike/elephant print
Air Jordan 4 (IV) - wings on the sides of the shoes that hold lace loops
Air Jordan 5 (V) - main silhouette of the shoes as well as netting on the side
Air Jordan 6 (VI) - tongue of shoes and lace locks
Air Jordan 9 (IX) - back tab

Spike Lee produced or appeared in commercials reciprocating to each model represented on the Air Jordan Spizikes.
