In a year where we got all sorts of fancy colorways from LeBron, KD and Kobe, it was one of the simplest and down-to-earth pairs that truly shined in 2015 and it came from their latest signature athlete Kyrie Irving. Proof positive nike 720 that the sometimes the best stories told are the ones that take place on the court. Granted, Kyrie topped his Double Nickel performance a few months later with a 57-point outburst, but the former just has a nice ring to it and Nike went ahead and dropped this subtle beauty as part of nike phantom their Opening Night collection.
Hopefully Nike will see fit to drop these in the future because holy crap you won t believe that number of inquiries I ve gotten about these shoes and if I m interested in selling (I m not nor will I ever be).Flyease isn t the first attempt to make sneakers accessible for those with developmental disabilities, but because it came from the swoosh and was designed by Tobie Hatfield and co-signed by LeBron James, it is the highest profile one. The hope is that this is a moment that will continue to progress with every brand becoming aware that there are nike thea millions of people out there who might want to rock their kicks but are unable to do so without assistance.
Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant couldn t even sniff the postseason this year since they were on sidelines for most of it. Kyrie just needs to be able to stay on the court and Nike will take care of the rest. Not a bad company to back you, if I do say so myself& Plenty of people are saying that Nike had a bad year, but for the swoosh, a bad year is still better than most, if not all other brands. For what it s worth, I still bought more Nike shoes this year than Jordan (yes, I can differentiate between the two), adidas, PUMA, New Balance, Under Armour and every other brand combined. Come on, a year where Nike brought back the Air Force 1 in remastered form, the Neon Air Max 95, the Air Tech Challenge III, the Presto, the Zoom Hawk Flight and introduced us to the Nike Air Max Zero, the Flyknit Racer Multicolor 2.0, the Kobe 10, the Footscape Magista Flyknit and the LeBron 12 Low was a bad year? Sure, dude&
Will any of Kanye s adidas kicks make this list in 2016? Does the adidas Yeezy Boost nike tns black 750 Black or the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan stand a chance? We re still talking about this shoe at the end of 2015. If there s a discussion about resale value, this is one of the first kicks people bring up. If Kanye is the topic, these will get a mention possibly before any of his adidas releases. When a tonal red shoe drops, we call them Red Octobers still. Just for sheer hype alone, these kicks resonates nearly two years later. Hell, some sneakerheads are convinced Nike
