Man Receives Moldy Pair Of Supreme x Nike Air More Uptempos

Imagine this. With the grace of the sneaker gods you were able to get through online last week and scoop up the extremely hyped/coveted Supreme x Nike Air More Uptempo. So now you’re patiently waiting to get them in the mail. Then they arrive and you see them covered in….mold? WTF!?! Sounds like a made-up story, right? Well unfortunately it’s not because this actually happened to someone.

A person with the username @remzashoedle on Instagram posted pictures of the red pair that he received in the mail this week, and as you can see, the shoes are damaged with mold before he even got a chance to wear them. It also appears that the box has water damage on it, so that explains the mold. Check out the photos below to see the condition that this guy’s sneakers came in. Hopefully someone at Nike/Supreme gets wind of this and they right their wrongs.

Nike Unveils Cleats For NFL Linemen Inspired By The Incredible Hulk


Being a lineman might not be the sexiest position in football – the rare players that do et head-turning PE cleats or even the chance to have a signature off-the-field model are usually the wide receivers and defensive backs capable of making highlight plays – but Nike is about to change that with their latest football cleats inspired by the Incredible Hulk. The NFL totes some of the largest, strongest humans in the world. At 300+ pounds the guys protecting the quarterback and opening up holes for running backs have gone unloved by the footwear industry, until now. The Nike Force Savage Elite was designed with both offensive and defensive linemen in mind and features revolutionary twisting triangular studs on the outsole for 360-degree traction. Kurim returns here for the triangular structures on the outsole while a foam forefoot shield from stud stabs. Lineman also often wear tape to support their ankles, so Nike updated the ankle collar with a wrestling boot inspiration that locks the foot and ankle into place. Lead Footwear Designer Erin Cochrane wanted the Nike Force Save Elite cleat to display linemen’s oversized personalities too, saying: ?The linemen dance and have fun ? and for the first time, we?re designing for their physical demands and personalities. Linemen wear what everyone calls big uglys. Our goal was to make linemen look cool, to give them big sexys for once.? The Nike Force Savage Elite joins other Nike Football Force options like the Nike Alpha, Nike Vapor, and Nike Force, all available today on Nike.com.

Is Nikes New ZoomX Cushioning The Answer To adidas Boost

After a debut in early 2013 and a prolonged episode of explosive growth in 2015/2016, adidas Boost cushioning is widely regarded as the go-to option for comfortable running/casual shoes. In fact, it has converted some Nike loyalists to the Ultra Boost and NMD models, a shift that has reflected in adidas’ upward trend and a 24-month period of stagnation on Nike’s end. The most recent Q1 numbers prove that as well; adidas U.S. athlete footwear sales grew 85% in Q1 2017, whereas Nike dropped in the single digits, and it’s precisely the running/training categories where the German brand is excelling.
