Nike Free Hybrid Boot

I wouldn’t call this a hybrid. I think a hybrid is more like an obvious sole of one sneaker while the top is all another sneaker. This here is more like a fusion of 2 styles.

Anyway, according to Hypebeast, these are built on the considered tenant of being  environmentally safe. The original source is Sneakernews… I didn’t see that there lol

No info one when it will come out.


On Sale: Asics Men’s GEL-Nimbus 10 Running Shoe

Price $119.00

This is a nice running sneaker. I like the cells all over the place look. Looks like something Spider-Man would wear when he can’t fine his spidey boots. I would definitely run in these if i hadn’t bought the Air Max 360 Rejuvenate and the adidas “Rainbow” Mega Bounce to run/walk in.

The Asics Nimbus 10 in on sale for 119.00 Dollars. They seem to have all the normal sizes left for now 7 – 14.


On Sale: The Game Mid by Puma For The Ladies

Now this looks like a great looking sneaker. There on sale at Dr Jays for 80 Bucks. I don’t know if it is a Dr. Jays exclusive or not but I haven’t seen it yet anywhere else. Something this good might not be a general release. lol

It sells for 80 dollars which isn’t too bad. I wish I bought them before I headed out for my “daycation” at Great Adventure (and yes I saw plenty of sneakers there that I don’t see people wearing in the city like the Air Jordan Omega AJ22… seen them like 5 times on different people in the park) because Pumas are really comfortable for me. There is only one problem I have with Pumas:

The run about a size too small.

I have the Puma Bode and I sure wish I got them in a size bigger. I can wear them, but with either no socks or really thin ones.  And I wouldn’t walk around in them all day either.  Now if I got them a size bigger they would be some really comfortable sneakers. (If you are wondering why I didn’t take them back is because I didn’t even try them on until a month later LMAO)

So if you get Pumas and you live in the USA, make sure you either try them on first or get a size bigger.

And no I do not care that these are for the ladies, they look like great guy sneakers.

Yes, businesses should do this type of stuff all the time. Get the kids involved and keep them dreaming and reaching for the stars.
