In today’s video I’m counting down five of my favourite “no hype” sneakers for summer! This means pairs that are readily available, and not being resold for 2-3x their retail prices! You won’t need to break the bank to have a solid sneaker rotation this summer! Check out my recommendations and let me know what are your fave pairs to rock in the heat!
Air Max
Nike Air Max 90 QS “Laser” Review
The Nike Air Max 90 is given a unique and premium treatment with this “Laser” iteration that quietly dropped on the Nike Canada SNKRS website in late April. Done in a one-piece leather upper, the entire upper is lasered out to give it a unique woodgrain looking design. Check out my review for a closer look at these and let me know if these are a cop or drop for you!
Air Max Pre-Day “Light Liquid Lime” Review
One of the more underrated releases for this year’s Air Max Day, Nike released the debut colourway of the Air Max Pre-Day. Channeling 1970s style with modern day tech and sustainability practices, these incorporate recycled materials in both the upper and sole, and completely expose the Air Max unit on the heel, showcasing it in its totality. Check out my review to learn more about this new Nike model and let me know down below if you’re feeling them or not.
Clot x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death” Review
Clot and Nike’s first ever collaboration from 2006 was recently brought back – the Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death”. With slight tweaks to make it stand out from the original, the key translucent toe box design still remains. Watch my in-depth review to get a look at all the details, and leave a comment down below if this was a cop or drop for you!
Nike Air Max 1 “Evolution of Icons” Review
Dropping this past Air Max Day, the Nike Air Max 1 “Evolution of Icons” celebrates the legendary Air Max silhouettes that came before it in this mismatching “What The” styled shoe. Taking components of iconic colourways of past Air Max models like the “Infrared” Air Max 90, “Neon” Air Max 95, and “Silver Bullet” Air Max 97, these are a great pair to celebrate 34 years of Air Max. Check out my review to learn about all the details that went into this pair!
Nike Air Max 90 “Chicago” (City Special) Review
The Foot Locker Canada family hooked me up with a pair of the Nike Air Max 90 “Chicago” from Nike’s City Special collection. Done in an all-red construction, these utilize three different shades of red for a very bold and eye-catching look. Check out my review and grab your pair from Foot Locker today!
Nike Air Max 95 Premium “Grain / Coconut Milk” (Stussy) Review
Quietly releasing a few weeks back on Nike.ca, the Air Max 95 Premium in “Grain / Coconut” definitely could pass for a Stussy collaboration! Despite being a general release, these incorporate the same beige tones, while incorporating a mix of suede, burlap, mesh, and leather. Check out my review for a closer look and let me know if you’re feeling these down below!
Nike Air Max 97 “Halloween Slime” Review
A couple months late, but I still wanted to drop a review on these! The Nike Air Max 97 “Halloween Slime” is my latest pickup, and these are an amazingly themed shoe fitting for the spooky season. Check out my review to get a closer look and let me know if you guys are feeling these or not!
Nike Air Max 95 OG “Neon” Review
2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the legendary Nike Air Max 95, so it’s fitting that Nike brought back the original “Neon” colourway once again. Inspired by the human body, these were designed by Sergio Lozano and is one of those pairs that remain popular no matter how many times they retro. Check out my video and let me know down below if you guys managed to grab a pair!
