“Midnight Navy” Air Jordan 4 coming October 29

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 ). In the instance of the aforementioned colourway, midnight navy takes the place of black, visually separating it from the “White Cement” colourway. Normally this practice grinds my gears, but I must reluctantly admit that I have some affinity for this sneaker. As already mentioned this upcoming a sports a white tumbled leather upper…

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…
