But those who do appreciate this Air Jordan design are loyal to this shoe. Whether this mid-cut shoe with metallic ventilation is to your tastes or not, you can't deny that Mr. Hatfield did a far better job of channeling luxury car genetics into a shoe better than the monstrosities that real collaborations with car brands create (think Audi, adi and Kobe) when he used a Ferrari as inspiration for the fourteenth Jordan shoe. The model that ushered in the Jordan Brand as a Nike spinoff line, as worn in this colourway to win an NBA championship with a last minute shot (hence the "Last Shot" nickname) is a shoe like no other, taking some inspiration from its predecessor, but adding some unique touches that made it a performance favourite in the quest for support, responsiveness and lightness.
We last saw this black and red colourway in 2005, when it was released for the first time since 1999 (the Last Shot was — appropriately — one of the last Jordan original XIV colourway releases), but we've always found the XIV reissues to be a reliable facsimile of the originals. The lowkey flamboyance in the midsole, nubuck and fancy logo are all on point. There's a little bit more gloss to that leather compared to the '05s, but it looks deeply similar. The only key point of difference to keep the collectors hunting Instagram props happy is that grey 'XIV' inside the tongue rather than red, but that's strictly for the folk that know. These Air Jodan XIVs go on sale this Saturday. Those that know will be all over them while the rest of you lie in wait for the Concords to drop...

Just as the South Beach edition of the 8 took us a little while to climatise too, the shinier take on a militaristic combo of green and orange with some subtle speckles could be the shoe that converts non-believers to the cause. We're not trying to draw up heretic comparisons like Scottie Pippen, but just as the Grapes appeared for MJ's 2006 NikeTown appearance, this drop seemed to come out of nowhere. We can't testify as to whether they're still in stock or whether they vanished like the Miami Nights Lows a few months back, but if you're interested we suggest acting fast. House of Hoops gets that hype — it's frequently forgotten in favour of other stores that shout louder online despite delivering if you're a fiend for some recent retros you might have written off as US-only. Plus they have Foams on the shelves while our Yankee brethren are sleeping on Harlem streets to grab a pair.
Yesterday, it was a surprise appearance at the London School of Basketball in Crystal Palace, before LeBron left with his crew for a Rihanna concert. We've got some more content on the way, including a brief chat with the man himself about matters of footwear, plus a lengthy conversation with Nike Basketball designer Jason Petrie about the genesis of the shoe.

The Michael J Fox Foundation For Parkinsons Research - Nike Mag 2011The Nike Mag 2011s were certainly a huge celebrity draw, and the sneakerheads in that category definitely put up the dollars to guarantee themselves their Nike Mags. Kid Cudi claimed to have won four (yes, four) pairs of the Nike Mag 2011, and he recently broke out pair numero uno at a party thrown by Complex and Bacardi, during which he was the guest of honor (he graced the cover of Complex’s The Music Issue). Cudi was spotted with Mags on stage, lounging around, enjoying his drinks, and partying it up with his How To Make It In America co-stars, so check out the Mags in on-feet action below and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Mag 2011 sightings!

Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 VT Premium QS Haystack

Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 VT Premium QS HaystackWe actually covered these a few weeks back, but the images were stock ones that were pretty and all but never offered any clues as to how premium these Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 VT Quickstrikes actually are. If there had been a standard Air Max 90 in this makeup we would have become ill with excitement, but in Vac Tech form they've still got us bugging. Why? Because that silhouette isn't compromised by the nubuck application's uninterrupted flow, but the designers still knew to keep the familiar sewn-on ribbed Nike Air patched on the heel. Timberland season officially starts in the early hours of this coming Sunday when the clocks go forward, so all well-executed tributes are welcome.
Nike say "Haystack" but we say Wheat and it's one of our favourite colour and material combinations. That added white midsole is the perfect contrast to the upper and gum outsole while the brown leather lining maintains the theme inside as well as out. These drop alongside the Dunk (which is a lot better in the flesh than we anticipated) today and will be joined by the matching Air Force 1 Hi VT early next week. "Beefy" Botham promoted it and many argue its health benefits, but Wheat will always stay winning.

The current vogue for big-arsed high tops is a young person's game. On our industry travels, we've seen
those old enough to know better crash and burn with a mix of skinny fit and premium moonboots in the
shape of Ato Matsumoto or Lanvin Super His. Kanye opened the floodgates. He pulled it off. Most can't.
Fans of the man's work from 'Harlem World - The Movement' and it's sole highlights to the current robo
-self indulgence, we've seen pics of his Nike creations drifting around for over 12 months, and opinion
seems to have been polarized. Having seen a style evolution from the pre-'College Dropout' Supreme
sweat shoot for Vibe to the current couture junkiedom, Mr West's wardrobe moves so quick, and the
stylists work so well that the drawn-out developmental stage couldn't possibly keep up, meaning Lynch's
Dune-inspired LVMH hookups nearly stole some footwear shine.
Friendly ghostbloggers have made following his output an online obsession, and while we thought this
project might have lost momentum prior to release, whether you really, really hate them or found them
oddly alluring, the hype express got back on track. Big time. Then pics of Sir Bun B performing at SXSW
having ditched the Greedy Genius to sport a pair made them look genuinely good - this, we attribute to
baggy denim as opposed to the now obligatory APC New Cures - slimline kecks will multiply the dreaded
'golf club effect' that only benefits you if you're female or Dave Mustaine. Just for the record, in
case this opening ramble leaves any ambiguity, some CT crew members quite like the Nike Air Yeezy.
Anyone could've slapped fashion features together with hardcourt looks, and then maybe vulcanized it
for good measure. Taking Jordan DNA by the ton and adding a sole unit we're particularly familiar with
is another way of handling the brief.
Tracing the Yeezy's referential lineage, the Alien Fighter/Stomper, Air Trainer Huarache, Air Mag,
Jordan V and more high-end cues for the upper, are some interesting nods, and as midsoles go, the
Jordan III style one is a favourite in the office. It's also based on the Revolution and Ace to some
degree too, but the official press release points directly to the Assault, another late 80s favourite,
which seems a little odd, seeing as this is the sole added to the Fat Boys' favourite just a couple of
years ago. The sole shares some Flight 89 elements too - Nike have definitely been getting their
money's worth. The padding around the collar and tongue is Jordan-esque, and we kind of anticipated
more VIII touches than V ones, with Kanye wearing his Aquas to the death like M.O.P. Huarachesque (a
word custom-made for this News piece) neoprene lining keeps it comfortable, while the excess of
perforation on the upper recalls the Delta Force. The materials at work are of a high quality, and the
glow-in-the-dark outsole is pure gimmickry that pointed to someone living out their school exercise
book biro scrawls depicting wild Swooshed creations they'd like to see.
As colours go, the grey and orange is reliable, but the blast of hot pink behind the supersize tongue
is pretty disorientating. The towering height shifts out the ankle-high comfort zone, but the Velcro
strap, looking a little like an emulsion paint job is plain odd. The pattern, like the elephant print
style forefoot panel includes a recurring 'Y' in the mix too. We'd prefer it without it in all honesty
- we pictured it with the strap folded down just to show what could've been - a sci-fi Air Revolution
redux, but we can understand these are built to the artist's personal tastes. A nylon 'YEEZY'
embroidered heel tab recalls the Raid II, which looks like a Tennis Classic in monotone beige suede by
comparison, and the 'Y' shaped lace lock finishes a crazy, crazy creation.
Some wearers will make this debut colourway, the first chapter in 3 monthly makeups, set for release in
April at a 150gbp pricetag, look fresh. Others will look like they're in the midst of a mid-life
crisis, but everyone's got an opinion on it, and it certainly offers a challenge for the wearer. It's a
marked improvement on the horrors of the RBK G-Unit range. Even Lloyd, Buck and Yayo weren't wearing
those things. For better or for worse this is a pretty significant release.

Once upon a time, the Nike Air Max 1 was the shoe of our dreams. The Air Max Light was the stuff of
boyhood aspirations too. The notion of working with them when we were "grown up" was almost
unthinkable. Well here we are working with the damned things, and we have to concede that we've been
suffering from Air Max fatigue lately. Bar the occasional, truly inspired makeup, there's a good reason
that most flock for those frequent reissues of the original makeups. Too many recent versions have felt
like they were made of Fuzzy-Felt rather than synthetic suede, like some of the iD variations we've
gathered over the years.
It's a shame, because it's a model that never dates and just keeps amassing a fanbase. In fact, while
we Euro folk were covering the shoe, it always seemed that team U.S.A. were busy fiending over Forces
and Dunks...then we saw the mania over the Parra Air Max 1s on Nike Talk and realised that we'd been a
pretty narrow-minded in our assumption that this was a localised phenomenon. The Max is global. But the
majority of 2010 colourways have been dull—failing to capitalise on that fever for this silhouette.
If the opening salvo is anything to judge from, 2011 is shaping up to be a little better. The ACG
versions didn't make an awful lot of sense, but they look great. This duo of makeups deliver too - blue
and sail is a good combo, but red and teal is the killer here. Minty freshness with that accent colour
application works for us. The shape has changed over the years, the materials have been altered and
we've been victims of overkill, but when it's executed correctly, we're still suckers for Air Max 1s.
These drop in 2011...
