Follow the Leader: Carbon Copy Colorways
Posted by George Kiel III | Sep 23, 2009|
The sign of a strong leader is determined by how many follow him/her. However, a leader is not limited to a him/her as far as our site can see! With that said, you can now appoint timeless sneakers as more or less leaders to current kicks we are seeing today. Believe it or not, there are multiple sneakers releasing these days that have borrowed the colorway from some of Nike’s more classic, unforgettable shoes. Our Nice Kicks staff dug into the archives and compiled a list of various releases today that possess the same colorway as the ‘forefather’ Nike sneakers of the past. Check out our Follow the Leader Pt. 2: Nike’s Carbon Colorway Copies. In case you missed it, check out part 1 of our Follow the Leader dubbed Air Jordan Archetypes. |
Leader: Nike Air Max 95 “Neon”

Follower: Nike Air Force 1, Nike Court Force, Nike Hyperize

Jordans in general interest me more, but I think the kicks in the carbon copy were more exciting vs the mainly dunks in the jordan archetype…
