The Sneaker Guy

News, threads and my opinions, rankings and all things sneakers and sneaker culture.

@Roszko72 Some colors are crazy clean.

Others leave me feeling like Nike was caught flat-footed to the mesh running trend of the summer

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

Tim Grover doesn’t remember South Beach Lebron 8s, big bangs, etc.

I get the point he’s trying to make, kids getting robbed and killed for Jordan’s in the 90s was much more prevalent.

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Michael Jordan’s trainer Tim Grover on Michael Jordan vs LeBron James:

“We’ve all heard stories about individuals getting robbed for their Jordans. Have you ever heard a story of anyone getting stuck for a pair of Brons?”

Trying to think of another take on an original color way that looks better than the original.

Any others?

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

Military Black 4s

Didn’t know I needed this shoe in my life and immediately like it better than the original colorway.

RARE that happens

[Nice Kicks @nicekicks]

Eminem walked Terence Crawford out ahead of his TKO victory over Errol Spence Jr. wearing the “Military Black” Air Jordan 4s 🔥

@SneakerNews Am I the only one who feels these miss the mark for my bar on Kith collabs?

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@MatthewJWelty The best one releasing.

Interested to see how the pre-order works. On one hand, it's great the people who want them can order without worrying about resale.

On the other, it's tough to delay the gratification and purchase them now, for March.

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

ALD x New Balance.

Available for pre-order now? I really don't like that.

Don't get me wrong, all three are awesome models and lean into the very-popular mesh running shoe of the moment, but I want them now, not March.

With that said, I'll take a 10 in the Orange please :)

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

Truly incredible signature release.

What a loud vote of confidence in @JaMorant

Just a few weeks ago people speculated if him and @Nike were cooked.

Now, he’s got the best signature release of the last decade

[Nice Kicks @nicekicks]

FIRST LOOK 👀

“Halloween” Nike Ja 1 🧟‍♂️

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@nicekicks @Nike just gave Ja the best signature sneaker release of the last decade.

If that isn’t a vote of their support for who this guy is now, and who he will be idk what is.

This. Is. INCREDIBLE!

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@Steezy_ZChosen1 @nicekicks Terrible fits.

Signature shoes and jeans had a moment though.

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

One thing about me, it’s infrared anything #KOTD

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@jordankeyser I can see it both ways.

For me it all depends on the color ways. My favorite 550s play into the retro-vibe.

If Nike leans into that I can see them doing well.

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@MatthewJWelty The ANTA’s are incredible

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@AOtooTALL @SneakerNews Literally the first thing I saw

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@TheSiteSupply Saying what needs to be said with #1.

Best shoe of the year (so far)

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

Deion Sanders in an unreleased version of his new signature sneaker, Nike Air Diamond Turf Max 96.

According to @nicekicks Prime Time has re-joined @Nike.

Looks like they've updated sole.

Release, TBD

[Pac-12 Conference @pac12]

Coach Prime is in the building 🤠

@CUBuffsFB x #Pac12FB

[The Sneaker Guy @_SneakerGuy]

@nicekicks @DeionSanders @usnikefootball @CUBuffsFootball I need them to bring back the Air DT Max 96'.

Specifically this colorway
