Winter Sneakers To Keep You Looking Fresh!

Winter sucks! Period.

But why do we have to wear ugly-ass winter boots that are there just for function? Why can’t someone make warmish winter boots that look dope? Well, I have scoured around looking for something that would fill the void, and I think I have done just that. Check out some sneakers and sneaker boots you can rock this winter to keep your feet warm and looking fresh.

MEN’S H.F/1.3 and 1.4 PRIMEKNITS

I personally picked these bad boys up and I will say that they are one of the best pickups I made in all of 2017. They are plenty warm, I’ve been wearing them in the snow for that last month and am loving them, my only regret is being a dummy and not buying them in black and or setting them up with creps before I took em out. I would recommend buying them in black, they still look dope but you don’t have to worry as much about them getting dirty.

If you aren’t keen on hightops (although I don’t know why you would be in the winter) Adidas also has them in a low rise model. all models are weatherproof, but like I said earlier I would totally hit em up with creps to keep the stains away.

MEN’S NMD XR1 WINTER SHOES

For those of you who are still on that NMD hype train which many are, Adidas also released their XR 1 Winter NMD. With weatherproof primeknit upper and built in sock to keep your ankles warm. Personally I’m not a huge fan of the built in sock for the XR1 or NMD in general. But hey maybe you do and that’s all that really matters.

MEN’S FORUM PRIMEKNIT WINTER SHOES

Now the Adidas Forum primeknits actually look like winter sneakers to me. again with the weatherproof primeknit upper. the high top looks simple yet still dope if you can rock red! I would cop 8/10.

NIKE SF AIR FORCE 1 HI IBEX

With all the iterations of the AF1SF which i picked up the second release of in tan. They are super comfortable to wear, even for longer periods. the Ibex brings a higher tongue, a larger hi-top in general, and the wrap around laces are a nice touch. Best of all is the fact they are zippered in the front for ease of use. Although like my pair of AF 1.3 they come in WHITE! So you best treat them before wearing them out or after 2 or three wears they will be dirty AF!

But I might actually go out and cop a pair and do a proper review on them soon.

NIKE SFB GEN 2 20.5CM (APPROX.)

The Nike SFB Gen 2 is the only boots/sneaker on this list that is actually marketed as unisex. Although these days girls wear guys shoes all the time! Lets face it, sneaker releases are generally geared towards males, so I don’t blame them at all. But in any case, lets get down to these boots, this is also the only one on this list that i feel like, looks more boot than sneaker. The design is very militaristic, but pretty dope considering the military inspo has been entering more of the spotlight in streetwear as of late.

Are you planning any winter sneaker pickups?

Hot Sneaker Pickups In March

March is HERE which means another month of sneaker drops and purchases. Recently I’ve gotten into the “shoe game” and NMD and Adidas in general have become targets of my new found affection. One thing I didn’t anticipate, was not being able to buy the sneakers I wanted. In any case the game continues and I will continue to try and hunt down the sneakers I want. So March is around the corner and there is some heat dropping, now that the Yeezy Breds and Zebras have come and gone these are the kicks i’m looking forward in March.

Adidas Iniki Runner (March 1, 2017)

A new iteration of a classic silhouette, now with a boost midsole. I can totally see these coming up alongside the NMD phenomenon that we’ve seen over the last year and a half. They are simple, sleek, and very street. I’ll be picking up a pair of the Adidas Iniki in red most likely.

Adidas Ultraboost 3.0 Triple Black (March 1, 2017)

Adidas Ultraboost have been crazy popular over the last year and if you ask most owners they will tell you that they are by far one of the most comfortable shoes money can buy. March brings the 3.0 iteration in the Triple Black colourway, expect these to sell out quick come March 1st.

Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Flyknit (March 2, 2017)

March 2nd the Air Max 90 Ultra Flyknit is set to make its debut, with the traditional mesh and/or leather upper gets replaced with nikes’ breathable Flyknit. six colourways will be available which include an OG Infrared pair, an Olive colorway, and a multicolor option among others.

Kith x Naked x adidas NMD City Sock 2 (March 4 and 11, 2017)

NMD NMD NMD, never ending NMD drops! And i’m ok with that lol. Adidas has caught fire the last year with their NMD series, but what made them that much hotter are all the collabs they have done with them. This collab brings in the new iteration of the City Sock, still laceless but now with a fold over detail on the inside. You can pickup these bad boys March 4th from Kith and Naked, and on March 11 everywhere else with limited release. They will be available in two colourways sandstone and pink.

so these are my picks for sneakers i may be trying to pickup in the month of March, i know there are a ton of other releases coming out like jordans and such. BUUUUUT I personally am not a jordan guy so to each their own. Happy hunting sneakerheads!

What drops are you most looking forward to in March??

Kicks On The Road
Hey yo,

What’s up people people, just got back from my trip to Tokyo, Japan! Figured i would share some useful information with you all. By useful, I mean the stuff I pack for my feet. Sneaker mainly, but shoes in general. Anytime I travel one of the most important things I take are a variety of shoes. [But Dave you’re a dude, not a chick you just need one pair bro] ~NO! I need my kicks, and lemme tell you why. First, what happens if it rains and your one pair get all messed up? What about when you go to a music festival/night club and your kicks get all messed up? Oh and all of a sudden you are going somewhere fancy, what then?

This is why I take a few pairs, and depending where I go I tend to come home with a few extra too :).

Tokyo has my favourite sneaker brand [Supra Footwear] so i bought another pair……then I went to the Nike outlet at Diver City in Odaiba. One thing I have noticed is that what’s popular here might not be as popular there, That being said I was able to pickup a pair of Nike LunarEpic Flyknits for $80 instead of $250. But I digress, this post isn’t about all the stuff I spent my money on.

So lets get to it, I like to take a few pairs of shoes for a few situations.
- A pair of loafers
  - Loafers are my formal/informal go to shoe, you can dress it up with a suit or button up but you can just wear it as is with a pair of cropped pants. But a must have when I travel. My go to loafers are Geox driving shoes with rubber sole, they have the Geox breathable tech built in which is great because I don’t like wearing socks.
- Main daily shoe
  - This shoe is your go to, whatever you feel most comfortable wearing day to day that will compliment basically everything in your wardrobe. However can also handle a lot of potential walking. For this this trip I broke out my GEOX NEBULA sneakers, They are comfortable, super breathable since the sole has built in holes for awesome ventilation, not to mention they look pretty good too!
- BACKUPS!
  - Mainly I bring backups for my daily shoe, mostly because at home I have a shoe rotation, which also makes my shoes last for what seems like eternity. I brought Tokyo to Tokyo this trip with 2 pairs of Supra Skytops. My all whites, and a pair of black suede ones.
So all in all I was covered no matter what I was doing this trip. Got there with 4 pairs came home with 6…whatever I can never have enough shoes!

What shoes are normally on your packing list when you travel?
