J Balvin x Air Jordan 1

The J Balvin x Air Jordan 1 High’s is a new shoe that Jordan and J Balvin collaborated on. It would be a great gift for people who love weird shoes. “Fade rainbow” is the colorway of the shoe reminiscent of the color-soaked urban graffiti art boom of the ‘90s.. Personally, I say that they aren’t one of the best looking Jordans in recent memory. Retail price is $170. Either shoe fans will collect High’s as a decorative collector’s item or Jordan fanatics will show them off by wearing them. These shoes are going to sell even if they are ugly because Jordan’s are on of the best selling shoes.

Adidas Ultra 4D Core Black Solar Red

Adidas Ultra 4D Core Black Solar Reds are one of the colorways from Adidas. It’s an uncommon looking shoe because the sole of the shoe is 4D printed. The retail price is $220. That is pricey compared to other Adidas shoes. They are a greyish black shoe with a coral red. The Ultra 4D Core is a good running shoe. Most people don’t even look at the price of the shoe and wear them however they want. If you want these, get them before the price goes up when the prices come up and people try to sell them more than what they are actually worth.

PUMA Clyde All Pro Kuzma Mid White Black

PUMA Clyde All Pro Kusma Mid White Black are the newest PUMA’s coming out this holiday season. The retail price is $150. PUMA’s have been around since January 1948. Their colors are Tan, White, and Black. The shoe design is very interesting. It kinda looks like a dad shoe with a mix of a basketball shoe. They are designed by Kyle Kuzma who is a streetwear legend. He is also a NBA Basketball player. They have sock lining on the outside of the shoe. The soles are gum. It’s inspired by vintage coloring. 

Kyle Kuzma is also the founder of Rhude which is a designer company that he started back in 2015. It’s not the best looking shoes but I feel like people who like Kyle Kuzma will definitely buy these for basketball shoes or just for streetwear.

Nike Air Force 1 High Christmas Sweater 2020

The Nike Air Force 1 High Christmas Sweater 2020 is one of the shoes that Nike has made Christmas themed. The retail price is $120. Since Air Force 1’s are really popular right now this will be a hot item sold out quickly. It would be a perfect gift for anyone who likes shoes. The shoe top has faux fur to represent a Christmas sweater with a fleece fabric on the toe of the shoe and the sides. Personally I think they are just ok looking shoes. They may be a bit too much for a Air Force 1 but I feel like they are gonna sell super quick when people get their hands on them. Get these shoes if you want to get into the holiday spirit or get them for your shoe collection.
