Nike’s Top 3 Most Expensive Shoes

Howdy fellow readers! In this Blog post i’m gonna go over these Nike shoes that are stupidly expensive and will blow your mind. 

  1. Nike “Moon Shoe” (Waffle Shoe)- $475,000Image result for nike waffle shoe

These ugly shoes are officially the most expensive shoes ever auctioned. and NO I didn’t get the price messed up. These shoes were invented by the co-owner of Nike, Bill Bowerman in the year 1972! But wait until you here this. The crazy part is that he used his wifes waffle iron to make this shoe, and created the sole like a waffle pattern to help runners improve speed. Like let me ask, who would spend that much money on shoes? Well all that money could get you a decent house, think about that!!

2.  Diamond Encrusted Air Force 1- $50,000Image result for diamond encrusted air force 1

If you wear these you have heat on your feet. Oh wait, I forgot, nobody is going to spend 50k in shoes! Well let me tell you, these shoes have a big price tag on them because they’re literally covered in diamonds. Big Boi, an American rapper owns these shoes and they were outlined with champagne diamonds by Ernel Dawkins, from Big Boi’s hometown sneaker mecca Laced Up Atlanta. Big Boi’s thoughts were that if he ever wore these shoes he would get jumped, how iconic! So Big Boi ended up auctioning these shoes to raise money for his Big Kidz Foundation charity.

3. Nike Air Mag- $37,500

These shoes are AMAZING! Nike Air Mags are the first shoe Nike designed specifically for a movie, if you don’t know by the shoe these shoes are from the movie Back To The Future! These shoes have self lacing (power lace) The shoe’s construction was inspired by Tinker’s vision of how sneakers would be made in the future. Now if you have these shoes you’re probably rich and spoiled, but who even cares. Like congratulations your probably the coolest kid in school!

 

These shoes are so expensive it’s insane, like stop spending that much money on shoes and start spending your money on toilet paper for Covid-19 because that toilet paper is getting expensive! And your welcome for blowing your mind about these shoes that can buy you a new house and a new car.

 

What is Flyknit and Primeknit?

Welcome back sneaker heads, today I’m going to go over a material that is popular in Nike and Adidas shoes. Some of you have probably heard of these materials called flyknit and primeknit. First we’re going to hop in the topic of flyknit.

        Flyknit

  • Nike created this fabric called flyknit that fits like a sock.
  • It is a strong material that is made up of  lightweight strands of yarn.
  • Material makes the shoe leight so that it is easy for athletes to move in them.
  • Flyknit is breathable.

Primeknit

  • Adidas uses primeknit.
  • Primeknit is knitted in one piece.
  • Brings a sock like fit so your feet can stay cool and breath.
  • Popular in many shoes.
  • Lightweight

Yeezy PrimeknitUltra Boost Primeknit

 

Now that we went over the basics from flyknit and primeknit let’s compare them a little bit. Nike made flyknit and Adidas made primeknit. Nike loves their high tech material flyknit, they use it with running shoes, basketball shoes, and soccer cleats.

They are pretty much the same thing, except in my opinion Nike is better with their designs with flyknit because they put their logo on using their thread.

I have owned primeknit and flyknit shoes and they are both light and it’s hard to tell what ones I like more. It’s time to wrap this up, hopefully you got a more understanding about flyknit and primeknit shoes!

What is Adidas Boost?

Welcome back! Today we are going to talk about what makes adidas top shoes the best. Maybe you have seen some of these shoes showed down below.

There is something about these shoes that make them 100 times better. And that’s what I’m  going to go over today. The thing that makes these shoes better is called boost. Boost is Adidas most cushioning technology made using a material called thermoplastic polyurethane.

The boost compresses under pressure for better shock absorption and instantly bounces back to its original shape. And I have had Adidas shoes with boost and I know for a fact that they are super comfortable. Most of the time the boost is located on the bottom of the shoe.

Boost was created in 2013, and is getting super popular popular. 

Some of you might know Kanye West. On December 3, 2013, Adidas confirmed a new shoe collaboration deal with Kanye West. On February 8, 2015, the name and design for the Kanye West and Adidas collaboration shoe was revealed, but Kanye did not design the shoes. These shoes are very popular and they are called yeezys.

As you can see below the boost is on the bottom of the shoe. It is the white stuff. Other designs from Adidas boost the boost is located on the midsole.

To wrap this up boost is the material called thermoplastic polyurethane, other people say the boost looks like styrofoam, but remember if they’re bullying you about your shoes you can always shove your shoe up their gut. Just kidding don’t do that we don’t want to become best friends with Mr. Chapin or Mr. Buck. Hopefully you learned a bit more about Boost. Thank you!

Time to look at the Adidas shoes. If you haven’t checked yet my last post I reviewed some Nike shoes. Well let’s get started!

First we’ve got the  Adidas Originals LXCON

I don’t think I have seen these shoes on feet. I personally don’t like them cause I think they’re ugly, and the reason is because their really bulky and just not my type because I like more running shoes and to me those shoes look like something my Grandpa would wear. But these shoes were a re design of a shoe from 1994 called  Adidas Lexicon.

So my answer to these shoes is no because they are all over $100, and if I wanted to spend that money I would want to buy something more attractive. But if you like them here’s a link where you can look at them! https://www.adidas.com/us/originals-lxcon

To the right is the Adidas Lexicon shoes but the 1994 version, even more like a Grandpa shoe to me...

 

Now for the second shoe the Adidas Running Ultra Boost 19

These are for sure my favorite Adidas shoe. I have had Ultra Boost before just not the newest model. But these shoes are known for the boost on the bottom. Boost is a material that Adidas uses for a lot of shoes. I will make my next blog post about boost so make sure to look at that if your interested.

This shoe is just very comfortable and a good running shoe. I want to get another pair since I outgrew my own Ultra Boost. The price for most Ultra Boost ranges from $115-$200 These shoes come in many different colorways and you can find these at https://www.adidas.com/us/search?q=ultraboost

 

Final shoe we have the Adidas Originals ZX 4000 4D

Well then, these shoes are already a complete drop. If I saw these shoes in the store and my parents showed them to me I would immediately make a weird face and most likely laugh at them. The reason for that is the bottom is a bit wacko to me. And the thing is they’re 350 DOLLARS!!!  

I don’t know about you but these shoes look like they have spaghetti noodles or something on the bottom. I found out that Adidas makes very weird shoes. But hey, if you want to spend $350 on spagheti bottom shoes that’s okay cause their ONLY $350 right?

You can find these shoes at https://www.adidas.com/us/zx-4000-4d-shoes/BD7927.html     

Or if I made you hungry you can find spagheti noodles and many varietys at https://www.walmart.com/browse/food/pasta-noodles/976759_976794_1007519

Check out the 3 best-selling Nike shoes!

Welcome to my first blog post! Hopefully you are having a decent day (even though you must be bored if your looking at my blog). Well lets get started, for this post lets look at the top 3 Nike shoes!  Info found at https://www.businessinsider.com/best-selling-sneakers-of-the-year-2019-8#1-nike-air-max-270-10

First we’ve got Nike

  1. Nike Air Max 270. I would definitely cop a pair of these shoes, I have also always been a fan of Nike air, and I have a different Nike air shoe already. These shoes have been on my list to get at some point. I have seen some people at Meyer Middle School with these shoes. The retail price of these 270’s are $150. They are known for there air bubble in the back and apparently it is for a comfort and unique style. Here is a picture, what do you think? You can find these at https://www.nike.com/w?q=nike%20air%20max%20270&vst=nike%20air%20max%202701. Nike AIR MAX 270
  2. Nike Tanjun. I have already have these shoes when I was in 4th grade. They were descent but the tread on the bottom wears of quickly. They are a great shoe just to get an average shoe and they’re pretty popular! They are also a good shoe for beaters (Shoes that are normally not expensive that you can run around in and you don’t care if they get damaged). The retail price for these shoes are $65. You can find these at https://www.nike.com/w?q=tanjun&vst=tanjun2. Nike TANJUN
  3. Nike Air Force 1. These shoes are really popular. I personally would’t buy these shoes because there not really my style because I don’t like the bulky shoes like those. I am more into athletic shoes, I also don’t like white shoes cause I hate worrying about getting them dirty.  They are supposed to be a older style shoe. And there is many different type of Air Force 1’s. The retail price for this shoe is $90. You can find these at https://www.nike.com/w/air-force-1-low-top-shoes-5sj3yz7hf8ezy7ok4.
