Best Foot Forward: A Sneaker Series (Part 9)

I’m delighted to be bringing back one of my favorite blog series for another installment today. Back in November, I posted what was, at the time, the last of my Best Foot Forward series. Luckily since then, I’ve been able to pick up a couple of long-awaited pairs which I will be showcasing in this post. I’m really lucky to have these two pairs. Let’s get into it.

Pair 1 (Left): Air Jordan 11 Retro “Bred”

By the time of the Chicago Bulls 1995-96 season, Michael Jordan was already a 3-time NBA champion and widely regarded as one of the best players of all-time. That year, MJ led the Bulls to a 72-10 record and an NBA title, all while wearing the Tinker Hatfield-crafted Air Jordan 11 silhouette, which is Jordan’s own favorite pair from his signature line. The black and red colorway featured here is one of the most iconic sneakers around, and I’m lucky to finally have these in my collection.

Pair 2: (Right): Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Black Non-Reflective”

After releasing an abundance of similarly-hued 350 V2 silhouettes, Kanye West finally blessed those of us who had been waiting for another black Yeezy to release. If you throw black and red on any shoe, I’m automatically much more likely to try to get my hands on it. This pair is sleek and stealthy but still features loud design elements like the 3M lace accents and white boost on the bottom of the outsole. This may be one of my personal favorite shoes that Kanye has ever released, and I’m going to be holding onto these for a long time.

Straight to the point. Short and sweet. I only had two new pairs to feature here opposed to the usual four, but I think these two amazing pairs will suffice. Thanks for reading, and hopefully I will be back with Part 10 of this series soon!
