Keep Your Kick Game Strong (Shoe Envy Post)

So heres the deal... I LOVE SNEAKERS! Apart from all the hype (which can get annoying), sneakers are a great way to express yourself and they're also damn comfortable! I wear a lot of nikes because they are #1, so I obviously aspire to wear the market leaders shoes but also they are so technologically advanced (Flyknit, lunar tech, air soles). These shoes inspire me to be better and innovative and also try to push my creativity. As nike is my number one choice for sneakers its only fitting to dedicate this post to nike shoes.

So getting right into it, these are the shoes I am seeking right now:

Nike Air Huarache (JD Sports, Size?, eBay)


So public opinion seems to be very divided on these but I think they are awesome! That heel strap that wraps around to the mid-foot and the sock-like upper are dope. The retail price on these isn't too bad but reseller prices are crazy, especially for "hyped" versions such as the all-white ones pictured. I am waiting for a great colourway (and hopefully an Australian release) before I pull the trigger but keep your eyes on eBay, there is occasionally a deadstock pair that is a must-cop.

Nike Free Orbit II SP - (eBay)



This design is so cool and considered but that is to be expected - they were designed by the guy responsible for the air yeezy II. I originally thought the RRP was a little high but there are so many details on this shoe that make it worth it. The premium textiles and the 3D studded design with a mesh toebox for breathability all look great and despite not having laces, this shoe doesn't make you think its more suitable for a seven year old rather than a grown man. 

Nike Free Mercurial Superfly htm - (eBay)




This is another one of those shoes that just sold out instantaneously, and unfortunately if you live outside of the US, these types of shoes (limited run and very hyped) are pretty much impossible to cop because even if you have a mail forwarder in the US, nike does not accept Australian Paypal/credit/debit cards. You can try to cop a pair on eBay but be prepared to pay reseller prices.
