Best Foot Forward: A Sneaker Series (Part 10)

While getting used to my new daily schedule consisting of online homework and missing everyone due to social distancing, I’m going to attempt to continually post on this blog. Today, I’m bringing back my Best Foot Forward series to highlight two recent sneaker pickups of the Michael Jordan variety. One of a very highly-coveted collaboration, and another is a low key classic silhouette in a clean, understated colorway. Let’s get into it.

Pair 1 (Left): Travis Scott X Air Jordan 1 High Retro “Mocha”

Travis Scott is known for unconventional creativity, and his collaboration with Jordan on the Air Jordan 1 is no exception. Scott has quickly become one of the biggest collaborators in the sneaker world, as his popularity continues to grow in music, fashion, and pop culture. This pair features Cactus Jack branding throughout, an oversized backwards swoosh, and an intriguing mocha-colored upper with a cream-colored midsole. This pair can be worn boldly or subtly, and I’m lucky to have these in my collection.

Pair 2 (Right): Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat”

Anyone who knows me knows how much I like to wear all black. When I saw that Jordan Brand would be re-releasing the Black Cat Air Jordan 4 after many years, I knew I had to add these to my collection. I find that the lack of color lets the shoe’s brilliant design shine on its own, as its sleek silhouette benefits from the minimalistic design of this pair. I can’t wait to beat these up.

I’m hopeful that there will still be exciting sneaker releases throughout the calendar year despite all that is going on in the world. For now, I’m going to continue appreciating what I have. Look forward to more posts coming soon. Stay healthy.
