    Before enjoying the glorious days with Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen spent some time with the Seattle SuperSonics while being selected as the fifth overall in the 1987 NBA Draft. Pippen made a great tandem with the legendary Michael Jordan and together they help lead the Bulls to their first three NBA championships. Not much said with his stay with the SuperSonics, Pippen is now learned by heart in his jersey uniform as Nike releases the latest Air Max Pippen.

    Seattle SuperSonics’ official colors – green, gold, and white are all present in this Nike Air Max Pippen. The upper which is dominated by white leather features the Air Max stance with wavy design along the lateral that’s been accentuated by gradient green and yellow abstract wavy lines. A yellow Swoosh appears on the lower part, mounted on the white midsole while another stitched Swoosh makes a good pose on the toe area. A full-length Max Air unit in SuperSonics yellow is utilized with a clear window to show off whereas SuperSonics green outsole is being highlighted underneath. Pippen’s symbol prompts on the heel and on the tongue. Finally, a speed lacing system keeps a good closure with a friendly tongue pull tab.

    True, Pippen no longer exist in the game these days but he is always remembered by this Nike Air Max Pippen. Check out Foot Locker for available stocks.

  • The New Adidas JS Roundhouse and Its Controversy

    Just want to buy a pair of The New Adidas JS Roundhouse and Its Controversy right now? The New Adidas JS Roundhouse and Its Controversy.

    Adidas JS Roundhouse Cufflinks

    The upcoming Adidas JS Roundhouse Mids shoes got more responses than it asked for.  Adidas posted the picture of the mid-tops on its Facebook page and ignited a public uproar due to its new bright orange shackles that are supposed to be worn around the wearer’s ankle.

    The plastic shackles are viewed by most Facebook commenters as modern-day remembrance of the shackles that are used to be worn by slaves back in the slavery days.

    Adidas attempted to explain the shackles in its first press release:

    “The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery. Jeremy Scott is renowned as a designer whose style is quirky and lighthearted … Any suggestion that this is linked to slavery is untruthful.”

    The explanation didn’t help much and only created more controversy.  Adidas responded to the pressure by withdrawing plans for the sneakers and released a second statement regarding the Adidas JS Roundhouse Mids.

    “Since the shoe debuted on our Facebook page ahead of its market release in August, Adidas has received both favorable and critical feedback. We apologize if people are offended by the design and we are withdrawing our plans to make them available in the marketplace.”

    Any thoughts about the shoes?

  • 9 Most Inspired Shoe Innovations

    Just want to buy a pair of 9 Most Inspired Shoe Innovations right now? 9 Most Inspired Shoe Innovations.

    Shoe innovations can happen in laboratories or in the front rooms of fans. But often, it’s the buyer who determines which designs merit the most research and marketing.

    Rubber SoleFrom straightforward sneakers to modern personalizations that make hip hop hearts beat faster, there are countless shoes that lead to today’s sneaker technology. Here are a few of the past designs that lead current shoes to their nirvana.

    1. Asics Gel Technology
    MODEL: Gel Kinsei 2
    PRICE: $54
    FEATURE: Lighter

    Asics Gel Kinsei 2One of the pioneers of creative ingenuity where soles were concerned, these shoes are truly innovative. An amazing design for a generation of joggers with aching knees, these shoes took pressure off of joints.

    2. PF Flyer
    MODEL: Magic Wedge
    PRICE: $49
    FEATURE: Weight Balanced

    PF Flyer Magic WedgeThe innovative PF Flyer taught designers how to transfer weight to the outside of the foot, which reduced strain on the ball of the feet, while also reducing leg strain. This innovation was coupled with a cool style, making it popular with kids and young adults.

    3. Nike Zoom Air Technology
    MODEL: Air Flight 95
    PRICE: $180
    FEATURE: Refracts Stress

    Nike Air Flight 95To understand how a shoe like this is engineered would take a degree. In layman’s terms, the shoe refracts stress and responds with equal but opposite pressure, lending perfect balance to the wearer. This innovation is ambiguous, but thoroughly genius.

    4. KangaROOS
    MODEL: Magnolia Lux
    PRICE: $40
    FEATURE: Side Pocket

    KangaROOS Magnolia LuxAn adorable idea which stemmed from the cute KangaROO name, the pouch put KangaROOS on the map. Young ladies especially loved the pouched-kicks, but they were popular with everyone in an era where a quarter-carrying pouch would earn one pay phone call home.

    5. Nike Hyperfuse Technology
    MODEL: 2011 Supreme
    PRICE:$105
    FEATURE: Fancy & Functional

    Nike Hyperfuse 2011 SupremeThree materials are married into one sleek exterior, creating a shoe as powerful and balanced as a symphony. Supple leather adds perfection to panache, which wearers sport casually to college, or professionally on the courts.

    6. Reebok Pump-Ups
    MODEL: Omni Lite New York Knicks
    PRICE:$149
    FEATURE: Pump Up Technology

     Reebok Pumps Omni LiteThe Pumps put a struggling Reebok on the map in a time when Nike was the only household name. In 1989 these shoes put competitors on edge, and put Dee Brown ahead of the rest in the 1991 NBA All Star Dunk Contest.

    7. Nike Air
    MODEL: Tailwind
    PRICE: $90
    FEATURE: Bounce in the Step

    Nike Air TailwindA revolution of aeronautical engineering by Monsieur Frank Rudy, the Nike Air Tailwind truly gave the wearer a bounce in his or her step. The polyurethane pockets of air in the soles reacted with heavy steps, giving the wearer a sense of ‘lift-off’ to the hoops or hoods of choice.

    8. Avia Cantilever Technology
    MODEL: 830
    PRICE: $45
    FEATURE: Trampoline Bounce

    Avia 830Best known as the shoe that sued Nike and won, this patented design caused Nike Air to destroy their 180 line, which infringed on Avia’s rights. Sadly, the Avia lacked the sleek design of the Nike Air 180, so the revolutionary “trampoline bounce” engineering was a waste.

    9. Air Jordan Interchangeable
    MODEL:Anthacite
    PRICE: $85
    FEATURE: Personalized Soles & Booties

    Air Jordan IntercheangableA sexy shoe on its own, this design beats the rest because of its versatility. The owner is able to change out the soles or booties, creating unique and original combinations. Its advanced engineering is the result of decades of collaboration, which puts the Kobe System firmly in the past.

     

    CONCLUSION

    From simple upgrades like a bouncy step, to modern flair like interchangeable soles, sneakers have come a long way in the last few decades. While vintage kicks may still have style, they don’t hold a candle to the creative ingenuity of today’s shoes.
