adidas T-Macs That Need to Return

Last week, the adidas Return of the Mac re-sparked interest in the adidas T-Mac line. Technical upgrades, awesome price point, and a Mark Morrison nod were plenty for many but some still craved the real McCoy.
From an ABCD camp discovery to a lifetime contract, McGrady’s adidas ties run deep. The man with great game and great kicks deserves his due like many stars before. We call for five of his sneakers to come back.

Air Jordan 11 “Concord” CC Sabathia Turf PE

Blue soles? Clear soles? How about turf soles. The Air Jordan 11 “Concord” CC Sabathia Turf PE finds the Yankee dandy once again laced to perfection. “Concord” upper layout is in full display, although there are no purple herringbone pads on this turf rendition. CC’s #52 replaces MJ’s numerals for the player exclusive touch.

Nike Air Max 2011 Sport Red/Black

Draped in Sport Red and sitting on pillows, the latest Air Max 2011 is no one-trick pony. With a Hyperfuse upper and full-length Max Air tooling, die-hard runners can appreciate its performance aspects. Of course, the bold coloring of the Metallic Silver-highlighted upper speaks to sneakerheads. This latest drop can be scooped up now at ebay for $160.

Nike All Court Twist Canvas colorway

The Nike All Court has been given a new perspective in the form of the Nike All Court Twist Canvas. This asymmetrical model is the product of a curved midfoot created from the medial side being slightly taller when laced up. While Nike has toyed with instep lacing before, namely on soccer cleats, the idea has certainly proved to be an interesting concept.
Today, two new colorways have surfaced that make great summer colorways. Both pairs are completely white and composed of canvas. Setting each pair apart from one another are minor accents on the tongue tag and midsole. The first pair shown in today’s preview uses a light brown tone, while the second pair uses a royal blue tone.

Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011

Though the Hyperdunk legacy is only entering its third generation, it’s already secured its spot as one of the best hoops sneaker legacies in history. From lightweight construction to proven performance characteristics, the genealogy of the Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 is more than impressive. Boasting Zoom cushioning, a mostly Flywire upper and arguably the most visual appeal in the line, 2011’s Hyperdunk looks to be more than prepared to live up to its forefathers.

Nike Air Max 90 White/Medium Grey-Obsidian

It’s not hard to believe that the Nike Air Max 90 has been around for nearly 20 years and is still going strong. The silhouette and panel structure can be described as simply “classic.” Today’s pair utilizes a three-tone approach with white, medium grey and obsidian tones. White can be seen on the toe box, side panel, midsole and tongue while a nice grey leather Swoosh, heel tab and midsole portion adds contrast. A final hint of obsidian on the mudguard and lace eyelets finishes this pair off perfectly for a simple yet classic colorway. Will you be copping a pair this summer?
