5 pairs of shoes you should cop instead of Jordan's
Flashback to 2012, all a young boy wanted in this world was a pair of Oreo Jordan 6's, and all a young boy had to his name was $14. At the inception of the newest retro Jordan craze, I thought the coolest thing you could ever have was a pair of Concord 11's. Now, to me at least, and maybe this has been true since before I ever wanted that pair of Oreo 6's, Jordan’s are played out. Also they're expensive as shit. Instead of selling your car to cop a pair of those Supreme x Jordan 5’s, consider one of these pairs. They're all arguably flyer, and all undeniably cheaper.
*the soles of the Supreme x Jordan 5's probably cost more than any of these pairs of shoes*
1. New Balance 620 Modern Running Sneaker
These are lit. Whether you’re boutta bike around Brooklyn with the wind against your ankles or go for a modern, sketchy-chic look, and wear these with all black (I’m going to have to write an article at some point about the prevailing trend of sketchy chic) these New Balance 620’s will look great.
2. Nike Roshe 1’s
Roshes. ROSHES. Oh man. Look at those beautiful kicks. Oh man. Oh man. That's all i gotta say. Sike nah lemme say some more stuff. Nike’s new informal flagship shoe gained popularity, according to Nike, “out of nowhere” and they supposedly never expected the sales of the Roshe Run to skyrocket like they did. But i think they always knew they had a gem on their hands. Recently they lowkey renamed the shoe the “Nike Roshe 1,” which obviously means the Roshe 2 is forthcoming. Let's hope it's the first widely released shoe that uses that new Marty Mcfly technology everyone's been talking about. Maybe it'll even fly or run for president. It’s gonna take something special to follow these up.
3. White/White Air Force One's (the white on white crimes)
What can I say? A classic. The white shoe thing is real big right now and you can never go wrong with a pair of these. I personally prefer the mids but high and lows are lit too. When i wear mine i like to imagine i'm back in queens in 2002. If only capri jeans were back in style too.
4.Adidas Stan Smith's
These are real cool even though you really have no idea what they are, unless you're at eye level with them. Sometimes it's better to be low key and mysterious.
5.Nike Air Max Stefan Janoski’s
You don't gotta skate to rock these but you'll sure as hell be a poser if you're not. Sike nah. These are poppin. Beautiful shoes. Modern feel. Definitely comfortable as shit.
Nike Kyrie 1's
If you've decided against Jordan’s but still want to possess the ability to dunk on someone at any given moment, than consider these. To me they look like a Roshe high top. That’s lit.
Buy some fucking shoes that aren't Jordan’s. It'll change your life. You ever seen that axe commercial where the women are flocking to that man like rappers to the last bottle of unexpired Activas. Yeah you'll be like that dude. Trust me. Also lean is as played out as Jordan’s. At some point I’ll write an article about 5 cheaper and cooler cough syrups you should let ruin your life. Peace.
