We like a good Nike sequel. Bar the bad sequels like Footscape or Rift 2s, for the most part it seems to allow the
Nike design team to study and improve, compensating for any shortcomings and bringing in that new-new. In the running
side, after a blur of fast-forward evolution since Free and Lunarlon came into being, sequels have been considered
affairs that tweak the previous instalment. The Run Free was an office favourite when we first got hold of it in a
similar black and white colourway...then the Lunar Eclipse arrived and...ummm...eclipsed it as our everyday ride of
choice. But that's an unfair comparison anyway - they're two very different shoes, with the Free still on that quest
to replicate barefoot benefits.
This formula of that intricately cut framework, a mesh sock-style fit and some severe-looking Free grooves in the
outsole is a recipe for good-looking shoes — it's the best Free shoe since the Free Trail debuted. The Free Run 2+
is a vast improvement on a tremendous design — the new Free siping pattern is even more flexible, still tricking out
the original Waffle pattern to the next level and the faintly asymmetric lacing pattern makes it a Footscape
offspring of sorts, but the key change here is on the upper. The downside of today's performance pieces is a lack of
natural fabrics — it's all strange, synthetic, featherweight fabrics these days that practically float out the box.
Good for running, where grams affect times, but they can make a shoe feel cheap too.
So you need to compensate with detailing. That’s where the Free Run 2 goes triply hard in the paint. Showboating
with their fancy laser-cutting techniques, the cutaway, layered pattern, blending printed on panels and overlays
evokes the golden age of the massively overlooked Nike Chapuka, but whereas that was some H.R. Giger-esque Alpha
Project madness, the supportive detailing here is based on the ligaments of the foot, endeavouring to imitate their
purpose too. The medial side is interesting too, with a stealthy little cutout swoosh in their, and shades of LeBron
IV on that inner midsole.
This model’s a superior start to the season and having seen what’s in store until the end of the year, we’re
confident that there’s a respite to the reign of the retro with some future cult classics in the mix. It feels nice
to get excited about new shoes again and these are worth regular rotation. The grey/green and white/reds have got us
excitedly for the first time in a short while and these should be hitting running stores and NikeTown imminently…




Nike Sportswear Denim Air Force 1 Low

Nike Sportswear Denim Air Force 1 Low Air Force 1s have been a part of this site since day one. It helped that Crooked's genesis coincided with the Uptown making a full-blown UK debut and that the site launched when US and co.jp exclusives were at their best. Since then, heavyweight campaigns and ID accessibility have taken some of the secret-society mystique from the shoe. After all, a shoe that barely needed to advertise, shouldn't need to make any effort. Still, when it's done right, the Air Force 1 can still eclipse the competition. A correct execution will have us forgetting any acts of shoddy build from recent releases — sometimes it's nice to pick up something that feels heavy in a lightweight era.
This Quickstrike makeup takes the shoe back to a happier time before so much sucked. It actually feels like a 2002 release in spirit. We've seen denim on Air Forces before (denim swooshes win), but these versions go all out. Feeling like a Bespoke in looks and quality, the copper stitch swoosh and contrast is a no brainer that's smartly executed, the off-white midsole and gum sole is excellent, the subtle eyelet switch to brass at the top complements the denim upper with a little nod to the classic button fly too.
We’re loving this shoe. If we had to make any criticism, it would be towards the tongue and heel leather patch branding (which actually looks like it was branded), with that western-style font being inferior to the usual imagery. In contrast, the footbed efforts are particularly nice. A selvedge heel would have been a perfect finisher, but left plain it’s still effective.
The true challenge is what to wear with it. Do you go all-out, and accessorise a double-denim Canadian tux look with these shoes? Can you go triple-denim? Quadruple denim? Maybe you can top an ensemble off with a denim hat. It’s challenging. Perhaps chinos are the solution here, because chunky, navy cotton sneakers with short-shorts might be even harder to execute. Still, when it comes to jeans on jean fabric, at least you don’t have to worry about denim bleed. These are our kind of sneakers. Are Nike Sportswear trying to instigate another golden age of Air Force 1s? We hope so.
These arrive in the Crooked store, and they’re apparently set for release next Wednesday (the 25th of May) in limited numbers. Strange day for a sneaker release, but it’s a shoe that seems to be amassing a great deal of interest.

wow. We never thought we'd see the day when the Jordan X would fly from the Crooked Tongues store, but we're glad to
see its popularity ascend like a leap from the shoe's namesake. For years we had a couple of OG pairs in the store's
inventory, gathering dust, but something happened over the last 12 months...we don't know if it was the free global
shipping or escalating globalisation of sports footwear (it's probably both), but something went crazy. We understood
the success of the excellent Chicagos, but the Old Royal edition few out almost as fast — that's when we knew
something was up. From the shoe's steel-coloured debut with the toecap that was wisely scrapped to recent months,
this model was one for those in the know, whereas the cutoff for wider AJ interest seemed to be part VIII. Now we're
in a whole new world of hype.
When the X dropped in Shadow form as a doublepack with an XIII in early 2008, it was the best of a year of
doublepacks...but not many people seemed to care. The Shadow's a classic too — the check lining, grey and black mix,
plus the red Jumpman detailing was always a great Jordan makeup. These Stealth versions of the Jordan 10 adher to the
winning formula of Stealth colourways in the series and we're sure we saw Kanye wearing a pair a few months back
(that in itself is guaranteed to prime the hype trigger) and they're not massively dissimilar to the Shadows, but
that white and grey on the outsole cuts through the gloom, and the grey details plus the extra black and nubuck
textures on the upper make quite a difference. Folks that appreciate a classic design in a respectful new colourway
and the Rick Owens brigade alike will take to this one with ease and (pending any changes) they drop in the Crooked

adidas ObyO X Jeremy Scott Wings Denim

Jeremy Scott and adidas Originals have been putting in work since the Forum Hi in 2002, but their ObyO line that launched in 2009 was mutually beneficial for both partners. Seen on the feet of Lil' Wayne and A$AP Rocky, as well as a host of celebrities, the wilful strangeness of these remixes has given them a certain high-end b-boy flavour that's shifting units. This Wings take on the Attitude gives it a washed denim upper, lining and laces with wings and a translucent sole, with plenty of stitch detail in the mix too. These fit a little small, so we recommend going up a size.
