My Top 5 athletic sneaker lines of all time

       Air Jordan (Established 1985)   

This brand is the undisputed king of sneakers having sold millions of pairs and is responsible for over 10% of all sneaker sales in the world. You must own a pair to be in the sneaker game!!!! It’s just a fact!  

           

                     LeBron James (Established 2003) 

This phenom bounced into the NBA in 2003 at the tender age of 19 right out of high school and had his very own sneaker waiting as he took to the NBA court playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since then his brand of sneakers has become a mainstay on the feet of every ‘sneakerhead’ including myself!!!!



 

 



       Kevin Durant (Established 2007)     

This brand has always been an affordable brand for youngsters who have always wanted to wear a pair of sneakers associated with one of the best young players in the NBA and still has the colour and flair of a pair of Air Jordans or LeBrons… And they appear in high or low-cut styles!!!! The choice is yours.



 

 

       Patrick Ewing (Established 1989)

Back in 1989 this NBA hall of famer decided to make an unprecedented move by starting his own sneaker company called Next Sports and produced an iconic basketball sneaker for seven years in the NBA. The great news is that they are now being re-issued and I already have my very own pair of Ewings!!!!

 

 

       Shaquille O’Neal (Established 1992)

In 1992 he signed a US$3 million deal with Reebok and started off with the now legendary Shaq Attack sneaker and later with the Shaqnosis designed with the iconic ‘Reebok Pump’ button which in 2014 has now been re-issued in the hottest colours available to man!!!





 



Chuck Taylors

Chucks.

That simple moniker still resonates heavily throughout the vast spectrum of street wear and pop culture.  Whether you’re style is hip-hop or punk rock laden, it doesn’t really matter – you’ve worn these shoes or know someone who has.  Sneaker heads and occasional admirers alike know what the deal is when it comes to dressing your feet in this delectable treat.

Coming in a boundless array of colorways and material combinations with the low-top, double-layered black and white canvas being the most popular, Chucks are shoes that you can essentially wear with anything from a fresh tee and jeans to a blazer and slacks.  Celebrities, singers, rock stars, athletes, you and me alike have all had a pair of these shoes at one point or another.  Although its trend power is not near what it used to be with so many other ostentatious kicks being out on the market, the Chuck Taylor All Star will always stand tall, near the top, as the man behind the shoe did during his life.

Nike Air Trainer I Mid Premium

Nike Air Trainer 1 Mid Premium

First released in 1987, the Air Trainer 1 is considered Nike's first cross-trainer and was designed to give you the support, cushioning and traction you need during all your workout activities. They feature a leather upper, mid-cut design, sidewall for stability, forefoot strap, and great multi-directional traction. 

The Nike Air Trainer 1 was famously endorsed by two-sport athlete, Bo Jackson.

The Nike Air Trainer 1 Mid Premium “Flax” dropped Friday, November 21st, 2014. Following behind the release of the Nike Air Max 1 “Flax” and the Nike Air Force 1 Mid of the same moniker. Continuing in the wheat-inspired theme, the Air Trainer 1 Mid utilizes a flax colored upper over a gum bottom paired with boot-like accents along the laces. Although fine as is, the shoe is amplified by baroque brown constant at the mid sole, branding, lining and foot bed, securing a strong monochrome aesthetic.

Nike Air Trainer I may run you TT$800.

Nike Air Max 95

Yes fellas!

Nike Air Max 95

One of the best running shoes of all time, this particular style was my favorite and is possibly my most coveted sneaker ever! I love the gray degrade siding that runs into neon green.

COMFORT AND ICONIC APPEAL
The Nike Air Max 95 Men's Shoe boasts the same iconic style and outstanding cushioning that made the original a hit with runners when it debuted in 1995. The mesh upper for breathability, Innovative lacing system for a customized fit and secure lockdown seem to be the major benefits of the sneaker.
Max Air units in the heel and forefoot for maximum impact protection
Nike's revolutionary AirSole unit made its way into Nike footwear in the late '70s. In 1987 the Nike Air 160 Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel allowing fans more than just the feel of AirSole comfort suddenly they could see it, Since then next generation Nike Air Max shoes have become a hit with 160 athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable lightweight cushioning.

Adidas Stan Smith

Adidas Stan Smith

Named after the famous tennis player, the Stan Smith was introduced in 1973. Like the Converse All-Star, this is one of the most iconic and copied sneakers of all time. Every 'sneakerhead' should have a pair in their collection.

Originally created in 1973 for tennis star Stan Smith, the adidas Stan Smith shoes have dominated the test of time. Smooth full grain leather, perforated 3-Stripes and tonal rubber out sole are featured on this iconic low top sneaker. More clean and sleek than ever before, the adidas Stan Smith offers simplicity that can’t be replicated.

Well designed and minimal branding. About the quality you should expect. Who needs the high end/high price version when you can have the real deal? Stan Smith  goes for about TT$800 or US$80 - $100. shopadidas.com.

If I could make one change, it would be a suede heel tab as opposed to leather. That's it.
