Nike Air Force III - Retro Denver Nuggets

Nike Air Force 3 - Retro Denver Nuggets

Two months ago, we showed you a retro Charlotte Hornets colorway of the Nike Air Force III, and many of you loved the design. We have now spotted the Air Force III in the most colorful NBA colorway ever! If you are too young to remember, these throwback colors were worn by the Nuggets from 1982-93 (see Alex English).

The upper features every color you’ve seen in the rainbow. It contains a yellow shoelaces, a red swoosh, and every other color in the crayon box on the heel. We’re still searching for that leprechaun with a pot of gold that comes with this pair. It also features a black-speckled midsole. Along with the Charlotte Hornets retro colorway, this multi-colored sneaker was released to select House of Hoops stores. You can now purchase them at lowtex.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Laser

Converse Wade 4 United We RiseThis pair is very mysterious it popped up at Marqueesole.com in a full size run. Makes me wonder what is the story behind this pair and the detail is amazing on it. The shoe is cut as a “High” which is very good to see at this point with JB finally looking to feel more “OG”. The gum sole is also a refreshing look on a Air Jordan 1 and the lasering makes this pair look rather lovely. The shoe is set to be released in November for Jordan so be on the look out at your urban accounts for these puppies.
