NFL players used to wear HOOP SHOES when they stepped on the AstroTurf. 

From Aaron Brooks lacing up Air Force 1’s to others wearing Bred’s and LeBron’s these shoes were said to provide better traction on what was concrete covered with a thin layer of artificial grass. 

Which player brought out the BEST kicks?

With the recent retro of the Jordan 9, I thought I’d do a tribute to my man @bobbykicks_kickstory , one half of @kickstorypodcast with @gotee_kickstory! Me and Bobby have a lot in common but I know the 9 is special to him so I laid out my pairs and some original gear (that he loves too). Need to ask @iamkenblack about some of the stuff that came out between the 8’s and 9’s… always has been a little grey area in Jordan apparel for me.

Me and the great @tinkahat… I just happened to have these on my feet! 

Me in ‘94 with my original 9’s. Only got to wear them in the house when they were brand new.

October 9, 2021: 5 years ago yesterday was a very special day for me, and for my page. The great Virgil Abloh spontaneously decided to start answering comments on one of my posts about the @off____white Air Jordan IIs prior to their release, basically holding a Q&A on my page. It was an unbelievable experience for me and I’ll forever be grateful to Virgil for taking the time to chat with people and for choosing my post to do it on. Hard to believe it’s been 5 years already. Take a minute to swipe through and read some of the highlights, as he shared his thoughts on the inspiration behind his version of the Air Jordan II #VirgilWasHere #VirgilForever #Grateful #jumpman23 #OGSupportGroup

Back to individual posts! I had somewhat forgotten about my beloved Icarus models, so let’s show some love to one of my favorites. 

Today we have the 1991 Air Icarus—the original and
very first. It features simpler patterns than its predecessors, as always, there is beauty in simplicity, though I have to say I still prefer the Extra (you already know). 

This model is an Asian market exclusive, In the White/Pink Foil-Black colorway. An interesting detail about this version: in the Asian region, the tongue is blue, (slide 1) whereas the same colorway features a white tongue in the European version (Slide 11/12). The same applies to the hee area, blue in Asia, and white in Eu. and the US. It features the standard materials we’re already familiar with. A Phylon midsole, and a combo of Polypag, nylon mesh and suede on the uppers. Some brochures even classify it as a cheaper version of the Air Craft another model from '91. 
This colorway somehow reminds me of the Huaraches and the Air Flows from '89 as well.

This was an  unexpected find from last year during one of those late-night hunts. They were in near-DS(VNDS) condition. After a good cleaning and repainting the Swoosh, they looked spotless. They also came with the original box, and all for just €20, if I recall correctly. 

More Icarus posts, new restorations, and recent purchases coming soon. Salute! 🫡
