Here is our top 5 sneakers you must have in 2014. With the year coming to a fast end in a short 3 months you gotta prepare. First things first, make sure you know these name brands, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Lebron, Yeezy, Jordan, and Kevin Durant. These are just a few names that are hot in the sneaker world. Lets get started on the have-to’s in kick-fashion.
1. Adidas Pure Boost – $120
Released in May, these sneakers were sold out practically before Kanye West decided to sport them in New York City one day. These kicks put Adidas back on the map hardcore. They were available as a Foot Locker exclusive and why these babies were such a great seller is because they had boost midsoles. This is Adidas terms for very, very comfortable. The sneakers also included suede throughout the upper of the shoe. The clean cut design is something that screams I’ll be in style for a while.
2. Jordan Future – Released in March
These are not to be confused with Air Jordans, these sneakers are solely non-Air Jordan’s (no pun intended). What makes these so sneakers so sought after is that they are different than most. These weren’t made for the courts, they were given out at the Jordan Brand Classic and Quai 54. These kicks aren’t anything usual. Most sneaker models integrate past designs, but these are a complete remake. They feature the Air Jordan XI soles and uppers from Footscape woven into the silhouette.
3. Nike Air Yeezy II “Red October” – Released in February
This is one of the most talked about sneaker models, not because of its crazy vibrant red coloration, but because of its awkward release date. So by now we all know there was a massive feud with Nike and Kanye west. So after the settlement and what we can imagine intense negotiations with Yeezy himself the shoes were released…on a Sunday morning in February. The sneakers were supposed to launch in 2013, but came out a year late in 2014. Now Kanye West has a contract with Adidas…SCANDALOUS!
4. Kobe 9 Elite Low HTM – April
For all you sneaker heads out there, the Kobe ii9 Elite Low HTM sneakers are some of the hardest to grasp. These sneaks were only released in Milan with limited supplies in only three different color variations. What makes these so stunning is the gum sole, you don’t see much of that in the late thousands. The shoes were designed by HTM team of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, and Mark Parker.
5. Adidas ZX Flux 8000 – February
Want a sneaker that isn’t going to break the bank, but will definitely not break the bank? These new kicks will only cost you $85 which compared to most sought after sneakers is a real deal! The cool thing about these is all of you sneaker heads out there can use your own photography on the shoe! If you aren’t the self expressing type don’t worry, the shoes also come in a plethora of print design. Some features are deconstructed mesh uppers, woven uppers, and a way different style than past Adidas.
