ÿþ2008 was a much simpler time; when nike air presto black the biggest concerns we had were wondering just how cool was it going to be to have a President who actually represented our changing society and whether or not we had to decide between getting ankle insurance or buying the Nike Zoom Kobe 4. Yeah, maybe we should really invest in time machines right about now& Anyways, when Nike and Kobe Bryant pushed the concept of low-cut basketball shoes, it was met with both skepticism and wonder. How could a basketball shoe that didn t offer any tangible protection of your ankles keep you safe on the court? There have been low-cut basketball shoes before the Kobe 4, but nobody pushed for it to not only work, but to be accepted by the mainstream like Mamba did.
I mean, he rode a damn horse in nike air presto ultra flyknit that commercial to make you laugh and pay attention to what he s trying to do. It also helped that while Kobe was pushing this revolution, he was also winning on the court wearing them. Some might argue that it s all about they hype and marketing and not so much how the signature athlete performs, but if Mamba had not won in those shoes, a scenario where Nike has to tell Mamba to abandon the low-cut dream was probably on the table.As the championships and accolades rolled in, the Nike Zoom Kobe 5 looked to improve upon the 4, the Nike Zoom Kobe 6 tried to top the 5 and so on. While other signature shoes tried reinvent the wheel with each new model, Kobe was like the iPhone , iterating with each new entry while shocking us on occasion (see: Nike Kobe 9 Elite) until he and Eric Avar perfected Flyknit with the Nike Kobe 11.
The lesson? I know nothing.So what happens when you fine-tune Flyknit to retain as much of the original design of the AF1, combine it nike air huarache cheap with leather which you ve never done before and put it together with a feather Ultra sole? You ve got Nike s answer or what should be the answer to the adidas NMD to the Ultra Boost in terms of a sneaker that is cool and functional.The problem and maybe the reason we see the shoe stuck on shelves? The name itself. The Air Force 1 gives it instant credibility but also instant baggage. We might consider the AF1s classic by any metric, but they have nike air huarache sale an old man shoe vibe to it.
