great sneaker apps

There are two great apps on the app store that can help you find shoes and see upcoming releases.

The application SC informs you on upcoming releases in the sneaker world. The application SPG tell you the prices of any Jordan shoe ever and where yo can by them from. I think these two apps are a great contribution to the sneaker world we live in.

The Positives and Negatives of Nike ID

If you don't know Nike ID is where you customize colors and patterns to shoes and clothing NIKE produces. On the outside it seems like a great idea, which it is, but there are negatives that are very important to the customers satisfaction. I have seen many cases of dried glue on the shoes. In Nike ID you have the possibility of writing your name and/or number on  the shoe. I have heard of many cases of the letters pealing of even before they wore the shoe. plus it takes around six weeks to make which makes sense because its a customized shoe. The last negative is that there are very expensive and if they are messed up the consumer will get mad I have seen it first hand, that is not good for business. The positives are that you are getting a customized shoe which is very special. even though there really only one positive i think it over rules the negatives.

Is it worth it?

After the rise of shoe collectors and re sellers black Friday has been one the most unsafe nights all year. This is because of the trampling of people running towards the cheap but valuable shoes. Over the past couple years shoe buyers have been pepper sprayed, arrested or even killed over  a pair of exclusive shoes. Many people disagree with selling shoes on black Friday because of the tragic events the have transpired over the past couple years. But that will never happen for any shoes store or boutique black Friday id the best day of the year they will easily sell out because of the cheap prices. Below is a link to an article about an arrest over a pair of Concord Jordan 11's. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-12-23/air-jordan-north-carolian-shopping-fights/52189240/1

Adidas Boost

A recent revolutionary discovery has changed one brand from boring to exciting, and know i'm not talking about the spring blades. The boost technology is been proven to be more comfortable and exorbitant then any other cushion system. They have included them in many of their knew models such as their new running shoes, there RGIII trainer, the Dame One's and there Adidas basketball team models, and I bet more in the future. I have yet to join the revolution but  I have herd great things from my friends and I am looking forward to it. Go to the link on the bottom for a boost test.

Born to Run

A pair of serious running shoes first entered my wardrobe last January, by accident. I’d left my gym bag at home and couldn’t be bothered to retrieve it preworkout. So midafternoon I found myself leaving a Champs Sports store in Times Square, wearing a new pair of Nike Free Run+ sneakers in black, with a red Swoosh and a white tread. The svelte silhouette had caught my eye. Light and easy to pack, the Frees got shoved in my suitcase a few weeks later when I headed to Europe for the men’s fashion shows. During an outfit panic in Milan, I made a gamble, pairing the shoes with a spring 2010 Prada suit; they looked good outside the gym. Soon I bought a pair of the updated Nike Free Run+ 2 and Lunar Glides (both in all black with a white tread). More recently I added Lunar Glides+ 3 (yellow tread with black upper, touch of aqua) and replaced my worn-out Frees. And my running followed, going from the treadmill to the road, from 3 miles to 10.

I’m not special: running and running shoes are cool right now. But a random fashion trend this is not. These latest shoes are a result of 40 years of sneaker culture, an eon of human evolution and the eureka moment of a track-and-field star turned Nike designer named Tobie Hatfield.
