Air Jordan Retro 7's "Bordeaux"

                We briefly covered the Air Jordan 7’s in our “Air Jordan 7 Orion” blog. However, the Jordan brand has released the highly anticipated and highly coveted Air Jordan Retro 7 “Bordeaux” edition. Before we delve into the concept and name, let’s take a brief moment to recognize the greatest basketball player to ever walk.

                The Air Jordan 7’s were originally released in 1992 with Jordan gunning for his second championship. Originally debuted in the All Star game, they were overshadowed by the return of the great Earvin “Magic” Johnson who had been recently diagnosed with HIV.  This marked one of the few times that Jordan lost out on an All Star MVP trophy. Regardless, Jordan claimed his second championship that year.

                “Bordeaux” is the name of a town in France that produces some of the smoothest and most expensive wine and is immediately noticeable by it deep red hue. Famous for its “First Growth” wines, in many respects Bordeaux is the leader in vintage wines and the blueprint for what we consider good wine today.

                Combine these two concepts and what we have is one of the most unique and sought-after Retro 7 releases in recent memory. Like the smoothness and uniqueness of the wine, Jordan’s game became the trendsetter too superstar’s today. Welcome to the Air Jordan Retro7’s Bordeaux.

UGG Boots

               For years UGG boots have been serving the public with stylish comfort that no other boot company has  matched. Although the origin of the UGG boot is sometimes disputed, the future of the UGG boot is constantly being realized today.

                Many accounts have the UGG boot originating back in the early 1930’s in either Australia, or possibly New Zealand. Used originally by fighter pilots - especially during World War 2 - the UGG has been a successful staple for eight plus decades. However, the popularity in North America was not fully realized until the 1960’s, when surfers used them to keep their feet warm in between tides. Thus, the boot began its meteoric rise into our society today.

                Made of the finest sheep skin, the UGG company has the manufacturing of these boots down to a T. Known for their warmth and comfort, the UGG boots are unmatched. Although there are many substitutes floating around the “flying ugg” is truly unique. Made with handpicked sheep skins and fleece, they should not be confused by their “kangaroo” competitors.

                For eight decades, the UGG boot has been providing comfort, style and warmth to the world. And trust me when I say…it isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

Men's Nike Air Max Goadome

 

               The Nike Air Max Goadome, or, better known as the ACG boot, has been a center piece in the Nike collection for the last decade. Known for its superior comfort and style, the Goadomes are a pair of boots that are truly unrivaled.

                Originally thought up in the late 90’s the ACG boot wasn’t always as successful as we may think. Many competitors were reaping the benefits of the boot market, and early on, the Goadome suffered. Eventually, a Nike developer had the epiphany and dreamed up the design of the boot that features its timeless air bubble located in the sole of the shoe. The name, “Goadome”, is a two part name. “Goa” came from the music that the artist was listening too, and “Dome” was inspired by an early model in the ACG collection. Enter the Goadome.

                When you talk about reliability, the Air Max Goadome has to be the default setting for any boot. The flawless symmetry in between the seams of the shoe, make for a design that none have come to match. Although I have seen them worn with shorts, pair of jeans really emphasize the best part of the boot: the air bubble.

Well…that’s enough about these timeless classics, click the picture and check them out for yourself.

Women's Air Max 2010+

Let’s talk about the Women’s Nike Air Max+2010’s. One in particular has my eyes in a frenzy. I’m talking about the White/Spark/Black and Neutral Grey version of them that can be viewed above. Although simple, the colors create a contrast that pops to the person privileged enough to wear them. However, let me give you a first hand break down on what makes 2010’s the shoe to buy.

When you talk about feel and comfort, the 2010’s are unmatched. The sole of Nike has been a staple in the company since before soles were anything more than the bottom of a sneaker. Employing its Air Max bubble sole, providing comfort and support for the hardest of runners, the 2010’s carry the tradition. Next, Nike’s breakthrough in its flywire design has created supporters out of runners and stylists alike. Providing a flexibility that helps keep the shoe unharmed from the hardest users, and providing a pattern that is esthetically pleasing to the wearer.

Air Jordan Retro 7's

Welcome to the Air Jordan 7’s retro edition in White, Orion Blue and Infrared. The Air Jordan 7’s were first released in early 1992, with Jordan coming off of his first championship – on his way to his second - and his third MVP award. This was a pivotal point in his career on the way to his first three-peat, and on his way to Olympic gold. In 1992, on what is historically known as the Dream Team, Jordan put on a basketball clinic for the ages. Known for his basketball prowess, these sneakers represent everything great about the greatest. Welcome to high top heaven.

The Air Jordan 7’s are a combination of style and reliability. Predominately white, the sneakers contain a hint of Orion blue too warm into the red and black that compliments the soles of the sneaker. Even with Jeans the unique pattern running across the bottom of the shoes are immediately noticeable as well as the ventilation holes on the side. With shorts? No introduction necessary.

But, we know about the style that Jordan’s bring. What is not spoken about is the strong reliability that is built into the 7’s. With lace holes running all the way to the top of the sneaker, you’re guaranteed optimal ankle support as well as balance. Now, let’s not kid ourselves. You may not be able to jump like Jordan but wouldn’t you like to be wearing the sneakers that spawned some of the greatest highlights ever featured here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBjsdy0Y6ps

Be careful, this isn’t a sneaker meant for everyone. This is a sneaker meant for those who win at all costs. Not for the faint of heart.

Nike Air Max 95, Fresh for Summer in Mint Green

Going strong after fourteen years, the Nike Air Max 95 has released several new colorways this year. The latest offering is a minty fresh summer colorway, retro in black, white, and neutral grey with mint accents.

The Air Max 95 has reinvented itself with subtle changes over the years. The new Air Max 95 "Mint Green" colorway is faithful to the "Neon" original yet is still very fresh for the summer of 2009. The soft mint green is used with great effect on the Swoosh, Air unit and heel embroidery.

According to Wikipedia, the footwear of choice for gansters and other folks involved in...let's call it black market activities are Nikes with Nike Air Max 95 being the most popular kick. Let's just call it the Black Lincoln Towncar of sneakers.

The original Air Max 95 was based on the human body, with the spine of the shoe resembling the human spine and the original materials designed to represent skin. That's some serious creative juices flowing at Nike. Although stores were afraid to stock the Air Max 95 because it was so high tech (and expensive) they took a chance and it became a very popular sneaker with record sales.

The mint green kicks come in a comfortable, durable vegan friendly construction of synthetic suede and mesh.

Get 'Em First: Nike 1/2 Cent Pennys, New Colorway in Black & Metallic Silver

We got some serious sneaker news today. The official release date for the highly anticipated Nike 1/2 Cent Pennys in Black with Metallic Silver is August 1st - but Sneaker Doctor got them for you NOW. It's just a pre-order elsewhere, but we got them IN STOCK and ready to ship. Free shipping too, which doesn't hurt.

The original Nike Air Half Cent Penny - Varsity Royal colorway was easily one of the top sneakers this year. It certainly was one of my favorites. But the Varsity Royal has some serious competition with the Black/Metallic Silver colorway. With a dominating and aggressive look, the Nike Air 1/2 Cent in Black and Metallic Silver is the most awaited for color in the 1/2 Cent Hybrid Series.

The shoe features a completely black colorway with a translucent heel, light touches of Metallic Silver on the upper, and silver accents on the shoe laces and the Nike swoosh. The patent leather Swoosh as well as the logo on the heel are both in a slick black/silver design.

The Black/Metallic Silver colorway combines features from previously released Air Penny’s and the beloved Air Foamposite model. It pays homage to the Penny Hardaway Shoe line. The 1/2 Cent name takes its inspiration from Lil Penny’s jersey number. Giving proper respects to L'il Penny, his silhouette is featured on the heel and on a 3D hologram on the sole.

This is expected to be a limited release, so we're very pleased to offer them for you now. The latest Nike Half Cent Pennys, available today and with free shipping, at SneakerDoctor.com.
