Whipped up a dope one for Chrimmas. Bought a pair of John Elliot Icons, the "summit white" colorway, and flipped them to the LeBron 8 Xmas (Big Apple) colors. On-foot pics on the way. #NiceKx #johnelliott #Icon #Lebron8Xmas #SneakerHead #SneakerArt #SneakerFreaker Dyes and other products from @remixyakickz and @jacquardusa . https://www.instagram.com/p/B6H1q5Zlo1l/?igshid=oifjxjkejyn6

@adidasoriginals released a few colorways that didn't hit all markets. I found a pale blue, added a bit of color here and there, pearls, hi res, and a gloss topcoat. #lxcon is probably my favorite silo for '19 from 3-Stripes. #NiceKx #customSneakers #customshoes @jacquardusa PS: you can see another example of this silo in a previous post. Hi-Res orange to black fade. #SneakerHead #SneakerFreaker https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Ipm5ZFTeP/?igshid=tnghbdz3jdpt

#SneakerReview of the @adidas #Streetball (EF9598). LOOKS: First impression of the shoe on the Adidas app was, 'whoa, that's wild'. First impression after it arrived was, 'whoa, that's wild'. The attention given to the material color and breakup from fore to aft of the laces is wonderful. The midsole flips from a kind of hot mustard color to a lava orange, which was unexpected and lovely. Out in the streets, not 3 minutes after arriving to my destination, 3 different people stopped to let me know how nice, dope, or crazy the shoes were. FIT: if you recall the Reebok DMX lineup, that's the fit- toes have room, but the foot isn't felt floating without support. Midfoot stability is on-point, but I wouldn't suggest these for use in a competitive situation. The upper isn't structured for that. Loose or tight, the laces didn't make a huge difference. The shoe is wide enough where it matters for most foot widths to be comfortable, like the Reebok DMX line. CUSHIONING: After hours of walking, you forget your wearing them, beyond the noticable crowd response. +200lb customers should experience a neutral wear, but with a slight response from a what feels like a Cloud cushion from last year's trainer. PROs: Striking colorway. Strangers gawk and ask questions. Lightweight, good support. CONS: Don't recommend using them in an actual Streetball scenario, despite the name. Strangers gawk and ask questions. COPP or PASS? Copp multiple colors and pass a pair to a friend. #NiceKx #SneakerHead https://www.instagram.com/p/B1192j1lSwl/?igshid=1hmhnlcrkeg9e

Welcome back to the sneaker review of the @jumpman23 #Mars270 . Previously, I reported going to the mall and these very striking sneakers, and promised to give an update based on their overall appeal, cushioning, and feel. Let's get into it. 1. Looks: Being built like Barney Rubble automatically makes me stand out in a crowd. This colorway drew attention instantly, especially with the really good glow-in-dark soles that seemed to pop well- even in store lighting conditions. One guy went out of his way to comment about them, saying "they finally made something modern that's worth buying". 2. Cushioning: After 25-30 minutes of walking between stores, the heels felt like they were giving up the fight. In other 270 models, I found this to be my #1 complaint. Over time, they felt less and less responsive. Max 180 or classic 90s feel just like this does, which isn't a compliment. I expected better, given how long 270 has been available to purchase. 3. Construction: Typical #Nike gluemarks were actually missing in this pair. It looks like the lot these came from had a smaller run, or had better quality control. The seams were good, the material breakup was classic and inspired. However, the fit was out of sorts in 2 places: the toebox (pinkie toe/baby toe/wolf toe side) and the collar. The pinch in the toebox was so bad, I stopped to re-lace the shoes with the hopes it would help. But where the toebox meets the eyelets, there was no relief. At all. I thought deeply about stopping at a surf shop to grab a pair of slides just to these off. Yes, they hurt like that. Meanwhile, the collar's edge was digging into my leg a bit, but tall socks could fix that. It's an issue on many mids and hi's, so I can't deduct as harshly. Conclusion: Sad and Unfortunate Pass. The longer you wear them, the worse they become. PROS: Good looking shoe. Good concept. Different, but familiar CONS: The fit is terrible where it counts the most. Toes shouldn't ever be tortured like that. #Jordan #NiceKx #SneakerReview #Mars270Glow https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Z-midFnJR/?igshid=159cyihv5bknk

#NiceKx brings you a special #custom that's been a while in the making. @sonicthehedgehog x @sega were big parts of my adolescent nerdiness, so it was only right that I did a piece to pay respects. The #AJ1 and #SB have a broad enough heel to display some great art. Coupled with them being in every. single. retail. shop. they're easy to cop if you've ruined a pair. But there hasn't been a better #Sonic product since the character appeared on #Dreamcast, and I argue that it's where fun and gaming broke up. Sad story, yo. I'm anxious to see the movie, and hope the production crew gets it right. @sonicmovie can be a cult classic, as long as Sonic has on gloves. I mean it- the homie has to be wearing gloves. That's a deal breaker! 😐 As always, S/o to @jacquardusa . Always with the right stuff for how I create. ✌🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqjYDclVTc/?igshid=14d6i5xc68pzl
