AIR JORDAN IV "SILVER ANNIVERSARY"

For the Silver Anniversary set of Jordans that released this year, the only models made accessible to the general public were the 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 9s, and 11s. With the 3s and 4s it seems Jordan Brand got a little lazy and simply re-released the Pure Money versions of these shoes from a while back (the Pure $ 4's released in 2006).  These feature "Pure $" embroidered beneath the pull tab.  These shoes absolutely killed my pinky toe!
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2010
STYLE CODE:  408202 101
MATERIALS: The shoe is leather all over except the silver parts which are plastic.
COMES WITH:   They come with white laces.
STREET VALUE: $220

SNEAKER REVIEW - BLAZER SB ELITE "LANCE MOUNTAIN"

One of two blazers in a set designed by famed skateboarder Lance Mountain (the other being co-designed by C. R. Stecyk III), these underrated blazers sport a clean colorway and decent materials.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW SB "BLUE GOLF"

Along with the brown golfs, these shoes released as part of the golf pack in 2006. They are yet another shoe where the lace choice changes the entire look. Although not super high on many collector's lists, these shoes still go for more than retail on average.

DUNK LOW SB "GOOFY BOY"

This shoe had a decent buildup and high expectations when they released, and in my opinion did not disappoint.  They are a part of the goofy boy pack that includes a mid and hightop, with colorways and materials meant to replicate the clothing worn by skaters in the '90s.  Each shoe in the set also sports a special print on the insole of a baggy clothes-wearing skater.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2009STYLE CODE: 304292 751
MATERIALS: The purple on the upper is denim, the rest is suede.
COMES WITH: These came with matching yellow-orange and black sb laces.
STREET VALUE: retail

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW SB "CRIMSON"

The colorway on this shoe is deceptive; it appears plain but has subtle elements that really make the shoe work in a variety of looks. Not too highly sought after by collectors, this 2006 black box release still fetches an above-retail value.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW SB "SUPERMAN"

Some lump these with the Spiderman, Batman, and Venom sb's, although these released much later and lack the yellow present in Superman's uniform. Not really looked for by collectors, these dunks have been making regular appearances at outlet stores and sales racks. Most attribute the lack of excitement over the shoe to the thin tongue, odd colorblocking and overproduction, but the simple construction, colorway and somewhat nice quality of the suede in my opinion make these slept on. All in all a good release that can be had on the cheap; one would do well to remember that many now valuable and rare Nikes started off shunned by collectors.

SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR JORDAN 1 "SPICE"

One of the last difficult-to-match shades of red Nike made famous was of course "infrared", used on Jordans and Air Maxes starting in the early 90's. Next, Nike came up with Max Orange, and now they are trying again with "Spice", the latest in a trend of orangish-reddish-pinkish colors. Good luck finding something to go with this recent Jordan colorway.
