Yay or Nay

Yay - The new Air Max 2012. Since 2009, the Air Max sig line has gotten better and better. The Hyperfuse upper of these makes for some crazy colorways.


Nay - The Air Jordan 2012 looks more like a Team shoe or D Wade shoe than a JB signature shoe. They probably perform like a beast on the court, aesthetically I find these hard to look at.


Yay - Dropping Dec 26 along with the LBJ 9 & KD4 XMas editions, these Kobe 9 Supreme "Cheetahs" are beyond dope. Taking hues of past Christmas shoes like the Chaos and Grinch, these shoes mark the first Kobe sig with two liners - one with a "sensory strap" for lock down ankle support and one for the traditional low-cut fit that Kobe usually wears. Plus, this colorway is bangin'...


Nay - The Lebron 9 PS Elite not only looks big and bulky, but they want $250 for this? Last year's LBJ 8 V3 PS release was a disappointment - not just because Bron Bron lost the Finals in them, but because they felt terrible compared to the much more comfortable V1 and V2. Outlet bound fo sho.


Yay - The KD4 Home colorway is high atop my priority list, especially after losing out on the Weathermans & Nerfs. Clean colorway...almost better suited for the Mavs.


Nay - I am not booing the KD4 "Year of the Dragon" - this colorway is bangin'. What I am dissin' is the fact that this is a China-only release. That's strike 3 on the KD4 releases, Nike....sigh.


Yay - Another killer collabo with an overseas sneaker shop - the Mita x New Balance ML 581. Super clean neutral colorway with a gum sole outsole. Nice to see a departure from the normal 574/576 collabo. These will be had if I can find away to avoid international shipping costs.


Nay - I know we are due for a new Air Jordan box, but do we need to see the size as big as the Jumpman? SMH
