Top 15 Nike Air Foamposites of All Time

Furqan Khan — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:13:26 +0000

We’ve already come to terms with the fact that this feature will definitely stir up plenty of heated debates, but we’re going to bring it to you anyway. 2010 and 2011 were big years for the Nike Air Foamposite One and Nike Air Foamposite Pro. Unlike Air Jordans, Nike rarely retros any of the colorways, aside from the original neon royal blue colorway, but that’ cool because that leaves room for even more discussion when it comes to ranking them.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 15 colorways in the Nike Air Foamposite, and trust us when we tell you that this was a difficult task! With so many dope colorways, both more recently and in years past, it was hard to put one color scheme ahead of another. Check it out and let us know what you think, as we’d love to read your thoughts.

15. Nike Air Foamposite Pro – University Blue

Colorway: University Blue / White – Midnight Navy
Style Code: 62404 411
Release Date: 2002

30 Sneaker Inspired Tattoos – The Good and The Bad

Furqan Khan — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:47:41 +0000

We all find ways to express ourselves. Whether it be through collecting sneakers, playing basketball, creating sculptures, or even taking it a step further and using our own body as a canvas, it is what makes us an individual. Over the years, the art of the tattoo has leaked into popular culture, and the world of sneakers is no different. Based on your responses from Twitter and Facebook, we decided to dig deep into the the world of tattoos and solicited pics from you to find some of the best…and the worst…tattoos inspired by sneakers. From Nike, to Air Jordan, to New Balance, to a very clever tattoo of a high top, be prepared to….well just see for yourself.

If we missed any sneaker inspired tattoos that you know about or if you want us to add yours, send it to us at tattoo@kicksonfire.com.

For the next round of Chicks in Kicks, we tap the beauty and “sneakerheadness” of the lovely Kimmy Kamish. From Fashion Week to International pageants, Kimmy is one of the few models that has a deep appreciation for the sneaker game. For her latest calendar, Kimmy dons some of the most exclusive kicks on the planet and displays them in a way that not only makes your mouth water for her, but for the shoes as well. I recently had a chance to sit down with Kimmy and get the low down on her 2012 Kimmy’s Kicks Calendar, as well as her Top 10 sneakers.

10. Louis Vuitton Jaspers

The color, the style, and a smooth name like Jasper are all reasons for why this is one of my top 10 picks.

8 Original Air Jordan 10 Colorways from 1994-95

Furqan Khan — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:22:43 +0000

The Air Jordan X (10) was released in 1994/95. Michael Jordan’s new found baseball career was interrupted when a player strike broke out, and many sneakerheads believed that that the Air Jordan sneaker legacy was coming to a halt, with Nike even starting to retro older models in the lineup (Air Jordan 1, 2). However, rumors broke out that Jordan would return to the basketball court and on March 19, 1995, Jordan was back on the floor doing what he does best.

Though Mike eventually returned to the game, Nike believed that Michael Jordan was going to hang the towel up for good. To show appreciation, they decided to list his NBA accomplishments on the outsole of the 10. The sole of the Air Jordan 10 lists Jordan’s milestones for every year in the NBA (from 1985 to 1994) listed below:

85 – ROOKIE OF YEAR
86 – 63 POINTS
87 – SCORING TITLE
88 – DUNK CHAMP
89 – ALL DEFENSE
90 – SCORES 63 POINTS
91 – MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
92 – MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
93 – MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
94 – BEYOND

In 1994, the Air Jordan 10 model was introduced to the world. There were a total of three models released along with a regional pack which had five different color ways representing five selected teams:

Sacramento Kings
New York Knicks
Orlando Magic
Seattle Supersonics
Chicago Bulls

With that said, let’s take a brief history tour and check out the 8 Original Air Jordan 10 Colorways from 1994-95!

Kevin Poux — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 14:03:04 +0000

Does anyone else agree with us that at this point Kanye West needs to stop rocking the Air Yeezy 2 until it releases, for the simple fact that he keeps teasing us? Yesterday on Christmas day, Kanye was spotted at the Los Angeles Lakers game rocking the black / pink version of his latest shoe. Here we see him talking to Lil Wayne before the game, who was wearing some outrageous kicks himself, as we’ve seen him do in the past. Check out the photo, and at the same time, take a look at the images we’ve provided of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 – Black / Pink.

Kevin Poux — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:56:16 +0000

With the official release of the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” less than two hours away, we thought we’d tease you guys a bit more with some more photos. This time however, they’re being worn on the feet of model Katiria Maduro, which is definitely a plus! (Hot Chick + Air Jordan 11 “Concord” = #WINNING).If you want to see even more photos, you can refer back to our Chicks in Kicks x Indee Jones feature, as she sported the kicks for that photo shoot. Good luck to everyone that’s trying to get their hands on a pair, and be careful out there.

KicksOnFire @SneakerCon Los Angeles

Jacques Slade — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:52:05 +0000

This past weekend, Sneaker Con completed the final leg of its 2011 tour in Los Angeles. As expected, sneakerheads were lined up early and ready to get a look at all products and sneakers available at the event. As sneakerheads ourselves, KicksOnFire was also there in full force, checking out the footwear, as well as doing a bit of promotion and handing out the #SneakerheadWristband.

We saw plenty of kicks, from old to new, and a few that haven’t even officially released yet, like the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Retro ‘Concord’. Most of the kicks were either Nike, Nike SB, or Air Jordan. We must say though that although all of the kicks we saw were really great, what really stood out was the pair of BRED Air Jordan 11s signed by Tinker. We also linked up with sneakerhead comic creator, Ree, of SN’EADS. Check out the photos below, but to get a full look at our visit to Sneaker Con LA, visit the KicksOnFire Facebook page.
