15th Shoe Review: Kobe 11 'Bruce Lee' or 'Warrior Spirit'

    Background Information: This Kobe 11  has 2 references. One is the "Bruce Lee" reference because it symbolizes Bruce Lee's jumpsuit in his movie "Game of Death". The second reference shows the Bruce Lee scar in the movie "Enter the Dragon" where Bruce Lee has 4 cuts on his chest. The other reference is "Warrior Spirit" because of the challenges and injuries Kobe had to overcome making him having a warrior's mentality.

On the University Yellow part is where it's Nike put the flyknit on the shoe.On the heel are the famous scars of bruce that are stitched on with red cloth. The sole is black and the tongue shows the Kobe symbol in metallic red. Comfort on this shoe is really nice and tight specifically designed for basketball.

14th Shoe Review: Nike Kyrie 1 "BHM"

    Background Info: The shoe came out on January,19, 2015. In honor of Black History Month the shoe was released. It came along with the Kobe 9 high top which also was released in honor of Black History Month.

     Quality: The color of the shoe is obviously black, white, and gray. The tongue has the Kyrie symbol and is all black as well as the swoosh and sole. On the heel is a black and white print and the rest of the shoe is white over black. The laces are white with some patterned black print. The comfortability of this shoe is really nice and tight where if you were running your foot wouldn't move on the inside. It looks amazing especially with the graphic pattern on the heel and shiny Kyrie symbol on the tongue.

    Traction(On a Scale of 1-10): The traction is really nice just make sure some dirt or pebbles get in between. Rate: 9

Fit: True to Size

    Retail:$130

    What to Wear With: These shoes were made for basketball players but if you want to wear this casually anything would go nice with it since it's color way is black and white.

    Where to Buy: Ebay, Flight club

    Overall Summary: The Kyrie 1 is probably the best Kyrie shoe of all the Kyrie's. Since the shoe was released in 2015 you can only find these on Ebay or Flight Club. I recommend Ebay because Flight Club overprices their shoes. But overall this shoe is really nice, not only for basketball but for style too. 

13th Shoe Review: Nike Air Jordan 1 "Top 3"

Background Information: Specifically these shoes are a combination of 3 Jordan one shoes. The Banned 1's(red part), the Chicago 1's(white and red), and Royal 1's(the blue coloration). The shoe also is called "Top 3" because Michael Jordan was 3rd overall pick in the 1984 1st round draft class.

Quality: Quality on this shoe isn't the premium leather the Banned or Shattered 1's have but the combination of probably the 3 best 1's created make up for it. 4 color laces come along with a pair. A red lace, blue lace, white lace, and black lace. The comfortability is the same as any high top Jordan 1.  There are two different types of colorations of the tongue on the shoe. One shoe has the "Chicago" tongue and the other has the "Royal" tongue. The sole is also the same for the pair. One sole is red and the other is Blue.

Traction(rating from 1-10): 10, the Jordan 1 has the best traction of any Jordan in the history of Jordan's.

What to Wear With: Jeans or Joggers(any type of clothes that blend well with the color of the shoe)

Where to Buy: House of Hoops, Jordan or Nike Store in Downtown Chicago, Footlocker, Footaction, Ebay(online), Eastbay(online), City Sports

Retail: $160.00

Overall Summary: The "Top 3's" were released on Cyber Monday but were quickly sold out at retail prices. Lots of people thought this shoe as a clown shoe or they looked real goofy but they look amazing when worn. They are like "What the Kobes" or "What the KD's" of Jordans because other shoes were all combined into one.
