As an already loaded holiday season approaches, what more could Jordan Brand have planned? That’s the question on the minds of sneakerheads everywhere after a suggestive tweet by @Jumpman23. If you recall, around this time last year we received confirmation on the Air Jordan 13 “Altitude” quickstrike. Perhaps something similar is in the works…stay tuned.

Lots of people dig Foam these days, but Wale dug them from the start. For his right of passage XXL Freshmen cover, Wale put on a pair of sneakers and a scene. The DC native’s OG Nike Total Air Foamposite Maxes were as outspoken as the MC and as unrepresented as his city. Fast forward three years and this weekend’s retro sees Foamposite popularity literally at its max as the heavy shoes with a heavier price tag will sell nationwide and not just in the nation’s capitol. As you saw earlier this week he’s back in the Foam mode, fly kicks he’s been on.
