Adidas Originals Yeezy Boost 350 ‘Black’ – Review and Launch
My first time at a sneaker launch event and it happens to a Yeezy drop. What are the odds? Ten lucky people who won an in-store lottery, each walked away with a pair of these today in Bangalore, India, paying the equivalent of 240 USD.
Yes. Sneakerheads exist here too. Read on to find out more about the shoe and the launch event.
Air Jordan Incline
Retro is all the rage now, whether its re-releases or retro-inspired kicks. With most reissues being out of reach for many, retro inspired kicks are a better option. Hot on the heels of other lifestyle offerings from Jordan Brand this year, like the Future and the Shine, the Air Incline is another brilliant sneaker to cop this year.

This shoe however, came from a lab, The Nike Sports Research Lab. Created using data gathered from in-depth analysis of Lebron’s playing style. This is very important because James did not wear the Lebron XI much during the 2013-14 season, and claimed that he wasn’t happy with them. So Nike set out to design a shoe that could support Lebron’s raw power and big jumps, while keeping him safe. Looking at the Cav’s performance in the playoffs so far, and after wearing this shoe, I think they did a pretty good job.
Air Jordan V
The Air Jordan V. Designers find inspiration in the oddest of places. Legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield sought inspiration from the US Air Force’s WWII fighter, the P51 Mustang, while creating this masterpiece twenty five years ago. You cannot mistake the shark teeth design on the side for anything else. Comparing Micheal Jordan to … Read more
