Nice Kicks Staff Picks Week 11
Posted by George Kiel III | Dec 12, 2008UNDFTD x Converse Poorman’s Weapon - Peter Sim
My pick this week is the upcoming UNDFTD x Converse Poorman’s Weapon because the whole concept is fresh to death! I don’t even rock Chucks, but I might have to make an exception for these. The shoes are based on the MA-1 jacket with the orange inner lining and the olive or black outer. A very simple shoe, but incredibly well-executed with the velcro attachments and the UNDFTD tab in the forefoot.

the air force’s are a great pick they look so much more grown up than some previous colors i think the colorways are slowly maturing and i’ve about had it with white midsoles too cause its just an uphill battle to keep’em clean

The NB should be called Miami Vice. Love the 80s colorway. The AF1s are nice too.

I agree with my man that picked the cons. even though I like the af1’s, that was an awsome idea they came up with. them cons are worn by a someone that is super fresh wit it!

Those CONS are fresh!

and what is af1’s most defining feature? that is a topic worthy of a discussion. how a shoe so simplistic and unassuming be so iconic and widely accepted. my grand father and my youngest cousin both have pairs of af1’s. hmmm…. i like those new balances though. looks like they will be my new reebok ventilators

AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE MENS SHOES

I think its funny that the person who picked the forces said there are too many white midsoles nowadays, because I don’t think there are enough. A white midsole is just so perfect on an af1, it accents what is probably the af1’s most defining feature.

Nice picks this week, 850s were a great choice. The forces are ehhh to me, last weeks of the same blocking/material were so much better. Still a nice pair of forces, they just can’t compare to the ones they followed last week.

Good pick Matt. Glad to see NB being rewarded for good work. It seems like none of the other sites even think those shoes exist!
