“Metallic Red” Nike Air Foamposite One returning in 2023

Brandon King

When it originally released back in 2012, the ”Metallic Red” was very well-received. A subsequent second retail run in 2017 was absolutely botched by Nike in that the numbers were daftly limited. It now appears they will make another comeback in 2023. At this early juncture there are no images but it should be a fairly reproduction of its forbears, we hope, in that it will sport a red Foamposite upper with black nubuck at the eyerows. Black also shows up on the tongue and inner with a One Cent…

Brandon King

The “Midnight Navy” is one of Jordan Brand’s tatie of taking an original colourway, swapping one hue and packaging it as a new colour ( which I guess it is, but it just screams lazy effort ).

An initial look at the ”Cobalt Bliss” Nike Air More Uptempo

Brandon King

I have been an unabashed critic of the over saturation and bastardization of the Nike Air More Uptempo with colorways both unwanted nor needed. If Nike just released the original two colorways ( black/white and Olympic) in a method that allowed for the people who actually wanted them to easily access them, they would be printing money( even moreso than they are currently). With that being said, there is another colorway of the More Uptempo on the horizon, and while once again, these were not a requested sneaker , they…
