Nice Kicks Staff Picks Week 8
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 21, 2008 This week brought us a few notables including the start of college basketball, the much-anticipated 11/12 Countdown Pack, exclusive PEs, and even some classic throwbacks in exclusive colorways.
Many nice kicks (no pun intended) came to the website this week, however, each of us found a way to narrow it down to one choice. Click the jump to see the analysis of our staff picks for week 8. What was your favorite sneaker of the week? |

yes. everyone has a big XI shaft in their mouth. how original. can’t wait for this CDP to come out so that I don’t have to see a million threads on NT about it

Okay….
Everybody that knows me , knows I’m a huge Memphis State/University of Memphis fan. Been that way since 1980.
We may have given it to Texas last year in the South Regional of the NCAA Tournament last year but those MAUI INVITATIONAL HYPERDUNK PE’s >>>>>> Memphis Hyperdunk PE.
Wow….if those released, I would cop…. even with the Longhorn on it!

Nov 21, 2008 at 10:44 pm
those cp 23’s are off the hook! XI’s are sick but we all know bout them lol
where’s the good, bad, fugly this week?
Nov 21, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Don’t agree with any pics. I think someone said those foces look like a matress, they’re dead on. The guy who picked them seemed to think the colorways is the problem, which is far from what it is. The nasty all-over print is the problem.
Solebox 1500s are the best shoe I’ve seen this week. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen pics of them but still, the best shoe of the week. Those ZF af1 his were nice too, I wish they weren’t all womens sizes. And the gucci af2s. People didn’t give them enough credit, it was a classic colorway with what looked like varied quality materials and a gucci-looking accent.
Oh puma 60th anniversary clydes too.

the 11/12 pack and the cp xx3’s
Nov 22, 2008 at 5:30 am
those are sick imma copy the xi,xii
Nov 22, 2008 at 8:15 am
those af1s r so nice
Nov 22, 2008 at 8:21 am
the bred XI is a no-brainer… but if those Michael Lau AF1s were made in black, i’d be doing what i had to to get them.
I’d like to see Tony Curanaj collaborate with AF1, not many street artists can F with him
Nov 22, 2008 at 9:40 am
LOL @ BKost
Those AF1’s are now dubbed the Air Force 1 “Serta” LOL!!!!!!
Nov 22, 2008 at 12:37 pm
im pretty mad at the fact i just copped the og bred 11s nd now they comin out in the pack!!!
Nov 22, 2008 at 3:27 pm
man this is a must get pack but in the 11 the jordan brand could of did a better job makin the 11s look like the o.g.’s because these 11s only have the pantent leather on the toe its posed to go all the way around the side. hopefully the jordan brand will fix this before the drop but either way i will cop bc of the taxi’s n the 11s are still cool just not up to par wit the o.g’s
Nov 22, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Comment 17. The patent DOES go all the way around the side. It just looks like that because of the lighting. You are right about them not being up to par with the OG’s tho. These Resemble Fakes.
Nov 22, 2008 at 5:55 pm
WHAT I AM AFRAID OF IS HOW MUCH WILL THE 11-12 CDP PACK WILL SELL FOR ON EBAY THE DAY AFTER…
Nov 22, 2008 at 7:15 pm

Nov 22, 2008 at 9:04 pm
