Shoes to Look out for this week
Shoes protect and shoes help shine. Every kid in the block desires to put on cool comfortable shoes to their school. It not only makes them feel good, but also gives them the confidence to walk down the corridor with a smile on their face. Here is a list of shoes which made it to the top 7 of our list:
1. ADIDAS X PARLEY ULTRA BOOST UNCAGED “LEGEND BLUE”
Adidas continues its partnership with Parley for the Oceans this week, re-upping its commitment to sustainability by using ocean plastics for high-performance products. A trio of Ultra Boosts featuring Parley Ocean Plastic , including a pair of Uncaged Ultra Boosts that features a heathered navy Primeknit upper on a white sole with the Parley blue stitched into the heel.

2. NIKE DUNK SB PRO “MULDER”
This style was originally released in 2002, when Nike’s Skateboarding program turned to one of its pros, Richard Mulder, for this bright pair of shoes. Mulder wanted to emulate what he remembered as his first pair of Nikes. Now you can grab a pair of these and wear Mulder’s memory on your feet.

3. AIR JORDAN X DON C 2 “ARCTIC ORANGE”
Air Jordan 2’s are going to sell out as quick as lightning, they’re only making them in big kids’ sizing. Which means, unless you’re a size 7 (maybe 2 percent of you reading this), these are too small. There will be pairs in larger sizes, but not many. Don C did this because his family hasn’t been able to get the other pairs he created with Jordan. This is for them.

4. KARHU X GOOD KICKS SYNCHRON CLASSIC “PAAVO NURMI”
When the team at Finnish sneaker brand Karhu teamed up with their countrymen at sneaker boutique Good Kicks, they knew they had to be inspired by other exceptional Finns. Because Paavo Johannes Nurmi is one of the most successful athletes in Olympic history who set 22 official records and earned 12 medals: the most ever received by a track and field athlete. They urned to him. When Nurmi was racing, it was standard for runners to wear all-black track shoes, but Nurmi wore white Karhus.

5. ADIDAS X WINGS + HORNS PRIMEKNIT NMD R2
Elevated Canadian streetwear brand Wings + Horns always offers a healthy dose of sophistication with its Adidas collaborations, and this Primeknit NMD fits right in. The smooth knit gives way to more texture in almost iceberg designs, while whip stitching runs up the heel and along the collar. The bone colored sneakers sit on top of a bright white sole.

6. NIKE PRESTO “SAFARI” PACK
Nike’s Air Safari hit the market in 1987 developed by Tinker Hatfield. In addition to this shoe being a classic to this day. The most lasting impact the sneaker had comes from the unique texture on the leather that Hatfield used, now dubbed the “Safari” print. Nike brings that texture in newer running shoes this week in four different colors.
