29th shoe Review: Air Jordan XXXI "Chicago"

   Background Information: There are many color ways of the Air Jordan 31 but the "Chicago" color way is probably the cleanest models of all of them. Just like the Jordan 1 "Chicago", this shoe has he same color way. However this model contains more things that represent Chicago such as the Chicago Skyline on the sole and the phrase "CHI" on the back of the tongue. This color way was released on November, 5, 2016 as one of the first of many models of the Air Jordan 31.

    Quality: To be honest I love the way the shoe's color fades from red to clean white. The shoe is very comfortable and durable on the outer however the sole of the shoe is kind of slippery which means the shoe doesn't have good traction. Don't be alarmed there are only problems with traction for first release models. Newer color ways of the 31 have renewed soles which have better traction than the older ones. On the other hand everything else is fine.

   Traction: 7 (only on the older models but the newer models have way better traction) 

   Fit: True to Size

   Retail: $185 (On this color way it is on sale on Eastbay for $150 and shipping is free).

   What To Wear With: Anything, the shoes looks good casually. 

   Where to Buy: Eastbay, Finishline, Footlocker

   Overall Summary: Many players that are signed with the Jordan brand wear the 31 models. For instance Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls specifically wore this shoe. There are manny more Jordan athletes in the NBA like Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, etc. Many players wear this because the shoe is not only great for basketball but the shoe has many color ways that match the teams uniform but if you do want these head on to the Eastbay website and get it for less than it's retail. 

    

    

28th Shoe Review: PG1 TS Prototype EP

   Background Information: This is the very first release of Nike's Paul George "PG1" which is why it's called "Prototype". Paul George plays for the Indiana Pacers and is probably one of the Top 10 players ion the NBA today. 

    Quality: Quality is amazing on this shoe especially for it's price at $110. It contains a translucent sole, suede midsole, and forefoot made up of mesh. For full foot support there is a strap that wrap the foot for maximum support. The PG1 is a mid-top which means comfortability of a low top and enough support just like a high top. Comfortabilty is amazing on this shoe, it is truly a hoopers dream shoe. 

    Traction: 10 (comfortabilty and traction are amazing!)

    Fit: True to Size

    Retail:$110 ( Price can't get any better) 

    What To Wear With: Basketball Gear

    Where to Buy: For this exact color way the buyer would have to go to Ebay or a reseller. 

    Overall Summary: Overall this shoe is probably the #1 basketball shoe of 2017 released so far. Price is worth for the shoes material. Traction is top- notch and comfortability feels like the shoe is worth $200. Paul George may not be as famous as Lebron or Kevin Durant but Paul George's shoes are way better. 

27th Shoe Review: Kyrie 3 'Deceptive Red'

    Background Information: This is an original color way for every Kyrie shoe invented. Of all color ways for each Kyrie is the "Deceptive Red". The color way was debuted by Kyrie Irving in the 2014 NBA 3 point contest but wasn't released until January 10, 2015. For the Kyrie 3 "Deceptive Red" releases next weekend.
    Quality: The Kyrie 3 has no cushion as those who have seen my previous blog about the "Black Ice" color way would already know. However the material on the outer part of the shoe and sole is outstanding. The sole features that colored area the same way the "Black Ice" has but the sole here is black. The upper, midsole, and heel is all crimson red. Quality on the shoe is really nice but if you are a person that wants cushioning the Kyrie 3 is not the shoe for you.
    Traction: 10(probably the best traction out of any basketball shoe released in 2016-17 which is why many guards in basketball wear Kyrie's because all of Kyrie's shoes have outstanding traction.)
    Fit: True to Size
    Retail: $120
    What to Wear With: Basketball gear is best to go with this shoe, however joggers or jeans would go pretty nice with it only if you want to use the shoe casually.
    Where to Buy: Finishline, Footlocker, Footaction, Champs
    Overall Summary: These in my opinion I am for sure going to buy because this is my favorite color way and I also own the Kyrie 1 "Deceptive Red". Not only is the shoe look awesome but for $120 thus shoe is very worth it. I don't know if these will sell out but just to make sure I am going to Footlocker to cop me a pair of these shoes.
