35th Shoe Review: Brandblack J Crossover 2

    Background Information: One the best upcoming brands has to be BrandBlack. Not many people recognize this brand but the quality and material the company uses gives Nike some upcoming competition. These models were designed for Jamal Crawford who is a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Clippers. Not only does BrandBlack sell basketball shoes but they also sell casual shoes and clothes such as jackets, t-shirts, joggers, etc. 

    Quality: As I said in the previous paragraph BrandBlack provides great material in their shoes. Especially this one which is designed for basketball, it provides great traction and comfortability. The shoe also provides all the ankle support needed and has a knit-like upper toe on the shoe making it extremely comfortable. The "J Crossover" 2's also look real nice and slick. Overall the quality is amazing and top-notch. 

    Traction: 10, since the shoe has a similar pattern to the Kyrie 1's traction it has outstanding traction. 

    Retail: $140 however these shoes can be bought only on Ebay and bought for $70-$140. 

    What to Wear With: Basketball gear with some plain black short and long basketball socks makes the shoe stand out and look beastly. 

    Where to Buy: Ebay or GOAT app

    Overall Summary: For sure these would be in my Top 5 basketball shoe list. BrandBlack company deserves more recognition and more shoe reviewers are starting to make BrandBlack their favorite brands. If you are one of these people that want to stand out Brandblack shoes are the shoes for you. 

    

34th Shoe Review: Air Jordan 4 'Motorsport' Alternate

    Background Information: This is not the only "Motorsport" 4's that were released. There was another color way of the "Motorsport" which had primary colors of white and blue. Unlike this "Motorsport" this is more easy to dress with since it's primary colors are black, grey, and blue. The alternate "Motorsports"(featured in the picture above) release on June 17, 2017. These are much better than the others "Motorsport"4 design. 

    Quality: Compared to the other "Motorsport" design of the Jordan 4, the difference is night and day. The alternate one's feature that leather that is on the Nike Air Jordan 1 "Banned". So when it creases it looks real nice. The color way of the shoe is also way cleaner and much more attracting. Unlike those stay on shelves "Motorsport" 4's. Comfortability on the shoe is really nice because the Jordan 4 has great cushioning compared to other Jordans. Jordan 4's also have a bubble which is that area of the outer sole that shows the inside of transparent are which is nike's "bubble". Amazingly this "bubble" provides more comfortability, the only downside is when a wide-footed person wears this shoe the black are right between the outer sole and heel starts to crack showing little white cracks. However everything else is amazing. 

    Traction: 9

    Retail: $190 

    What to Wear With: Jeans are the best way to show off these shows. Especially if it's skinny, almost any Jordan shoe looks nice in skinny jeans. If jeans are not an option for you, just wear black or grey joggers.

    Where to Buy: Finishline, Footlocker, Footaction, Eastbay

    Overall Summary: No doubt these upcoming "Motorsport" 4's are better than the other "Motorsport" 4's. In my opinion these are one of the best color ways of the Air Jordan 4's since it is simple and clean. I predict that these will sell out and be one of the top kicks of the summer 2017.
