Ice Blue ’90 Air Max

March 27, 2014 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

Introduced in 1990, the Air Max 90 (initially known as the Air Max III) brought clean lines, supreme cushion, and a ultra-breathable mesh upper that collectors today still prefer. This “Ice” edition takes the head-turning “icy” sole treatment and brings it to the iconic Air Max 90’s midsole. An allover geometrically shaped “ice” shards are spotted on the Hyperfuse upper to bring home the chill factor.

Air Jordan XI Low “Snakeskin” 2001

March 13, 2014 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

The “Snakeskin” Air Jordan 11 low released May 26, 2001. During the Air Jordan XI’s original moment in the spotlight a handful of these low hitting PE’s were made for Michael himself, with the public forced to settle for the tweaked IE version as far as retail availability. The true patent leather version’s eventual emergence from the vaults half a decade later would mark the first retro Air Jordan Low, and no doubt the most sought after in that category.

Air Jordan 14 CDP

The Air Jordan 9 (IX) Retro – Countdown Package 9 / 14 (White / Black – True Red) are exact copies of the 2002 retros, and released on March 15, 2008. They feature a white leather upper with a black base around the bottom of the upper, as well as an all black midsole and white outsole. The bottom of the shoe is very detailed , and features different inspirational words, all in different languages. The Air Jordan 9 (IX) is a high top which protects the ankle, but also consists of features such as a dynamic – fit inner bootie, a “one pull” lacing system, large volume air- sole unite in the heel, an encapsulated air- sole unit in the forefoot, and a polyurethane midsole.

The Air Jordan 14 (XIV)‘s also begun the trend of having a number of things that would count towards the model# of the shoe. On the Air Jordan 14 (XIV)‘s each shoe had seven jumpmans; ferrari-like shield, insole, sole, back, 2 x lace tip and front. Counting them on both shoes makes it a total of 14 (XIV) Jumpmans. The Retro 14 featured a sleek black on black look with white contrast stitching and minor white accenting.

Air Jordan 13 Retro Low • 2005

March 4, 2014 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

Tinker Hatfield was the mastermind behind the genius design of the Air Jordan 13.
The Air Jordan 13 is regarded as the best designed Jordan shoe by a large percentage of Jordan sneaker fans. The Air Jordan 13 was the first and only Jordan shoes to feature a hologram.
The outsole received inspiration from the paws of a Panther. Jordan’s nickname on the court from fellow NBA players was “Black Cat” for his fast reflexes and speed down the court.
