Nike ATMOS X Air Max Sneaker

The sneaker head in me will never die.  As a gent who still keeps his sneakers in the boxes and who can recognize a pair by the box or by the slight descriptive coding on the outside of the box, I instantly dug and understood the coolness of these kicks.  This special collabo with ATMOS, the Japanese sneaker retailer, pays homage to sneaker culture by remixing Nike's infamous AM 90 sneaker and emblazoning it with a graphic print of shoeboxes.  This is a nice undertaking that incorporates the classic appeal on the infrared of the first AM 90 with a nice nod to sneaker culture.  Available now at BowsAndArrowsBerkeley.com.



Reebok X Atmos Classic Leather Mid R12

Reebok never went anywhere.  They've just been playing it low-key for a bit.  Well they're bouncing back with sneakers like this Classic Leather Atmos collaboration of the Mid R12.  Part sneaker with the look of a hiker, this shoe combines rustic details with textured elements like the camouflage toe box, glow in the dark panels and speckled midsole.  A nice collabo from a classic sneaker giant and an edgy Japanese sneaker retailer powerhouse.  Available now at EndClothing.
