Nike is back with another bag of delicious treats, in the form of something they call the Air Max 1 “ACG” Pack.  Anyone who hangs out here enough knows about my affinity for the Air Max 1, and I am pretty happy about the color combos we see here.  I could live without the brown/black,...

If you’re as obsessed with footwear as I am, than you’ll be able to appreciate a bag like this.  The Herschel Novel Duffel Bag includes a special shoe compartment to “keep your kicks away from your kits.”  Nothing is worse than packing a pair of shoes that wind up getting mud...

While the kids are busy waiting in line for Jordan’s that they never actually saw when they were out, guys like us enjoy more off the grid throwback releases like the Adidas Rising Star.  Born in 1984, the R.S. was a clear picture that Adidas was far ahead of their time with features like tweakable...

If you didn’t know me, would you think Nike was in my pocket paying me to pretend to like their sneakers? I definitely would, but one can only dream. These are a lot different from anything I have ever posted in this section, as they are more modern, and sporty than most of the clean, and classic...

I’m going to go ahead and put it out there:  I need a pair of these!  I always love when I see a sneaker that gives off a different, less athletic look that changes the fate of an outfit.  With the rash of preppy wear that has caught my personal attention as of late,  I like to feel like I’m...

There is no colorway more simple and classic than a white sneaker with black trim.  Back with another interpretation of this classic is our friends (not really) at Nike with their Bruin SB in White/Black.  The sneaker features a canvas upper and a suede swoosh, just adding to the classiness of the...

The great Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter once said “Time to separate the pros from the cons, the platinum from the bronze, that butter soft sh*t from that leather on the Fonz.”  So when the word “Throwback” is thrown around by 14 year olds who don’t remember things earlier...

Though I’ve never as much as seen the Nike All Court Low in person, I’m starting to develop a slight obsession with them as I feel like they work very well with my CMG agenda.  Back in a white canvas with black highlights the All Court VNTG (meaning vintage), are available for purchase...

It’s been a while since I’ve featured some hot sneakers for all of you hip yet refined gentlemen, but now I’m back!  No love lost here, just a bunch of monotonous releases in the world of athletic footwear.  So now Nike drops a classic Air Max 1 with some really nice detail.  The...

Here’s an interesting concept from our friends over at Nike: a hunting boot inspired, low top sneaker. If I would have heard it before I saw it, I’d probably vote “Nay,” but I have to say that visually the ain’t that bad. The Nike Air Rally “Hiking” is set...

A few days ago I featured a trio of new Nikes featuring a perforated leather upper, one of which was the white Air Toki ND.  Never short of having multiple tricks up their proverbial sleeves, Nike is back just a few days later with a black version of the perforated leather Toki, and another white version...
