• SC back Issues - Going live tonight, we’ll be auctioning of some of the more notable issues, including the original. There is a rare hardcover (Issue 34) that features 1000 pairs. It’s a different era now, but for those that were around for this ground breaking magazine, the nostalgia is strong. Probably more than a few of our followers will comment that they still have most / all print editions tucked away. These copies are sealed (if they originally came that way) & available on EBay auction or buy it now via our website. How many of you were featured in one of the print issues? That was next level fame back in the pre social media days! _________________________ 📷: SoleCollector Back Issues available via EBay auction (search : instyleshoes.com on eBay) or buy it now via our website.

  • As the V turns 30 this year, let’s continue looking back at one of the most beloved AJ’s...The “Black / Metallic”. Simply put...if you don’t LOVE this shoe, you’re in the wrong place. Please unfollow. Jokes aside, (seriously though...how can you not LOVE this shoe!?) here we’ll take a look at the original 1990 release compared with the most recent 2016 release. This does not mean other releases don’t exist. The 2000 was excellent in fact. This post is just comparing original & newest. Some of the biggest differences include the tongue material (some have noted the original 3M may not be available anymore), the outsoles...The 2016 starts out VERY blue, then changes with wear. Toebox is a bit wider in the 2016. Ankle padding is also significantly thicker on the newer edition. All in all, the 2016 is pretty good, maybe not great as compared to the original. It is however the only wearable version of this shoe at this point (maybe some are still wearing their 2011’s). Did you add the 2016 to your collection? Still on the hunt for a pair? What caused you to pass if not.... _________________________ 📷: 1990 & 2016 AJ V “Black / Metallic Silver” via ISS archives. For our current available inventory please visit the website.

  • 2000 Alpha Project Air Max. The 5 Dots meant tech was at the forefront. Just seeing the silver box is straight nostalgia for some. 20 years ago, this Tuned Air based Air Max was the pinnacle of what Nike had to offer. Who has / had a pair that is Tuned Air based ? Think we’ll see Nike revisit more than the ground breaking AM Plus? #airmaxmondays _________________________ 📷: 2000 Air Max “Comet Red” via ISS archives.

  • One time for “Kryptonate”. His antics with Dwight Howard in the Dunk Contest were some of the most memorable. Also, he was known to rock whatever he felt like playing in during his time in the NBA. Maybe show him some love today..... _________________________ 📷: 2009 Foamposite Lite “Kryptonate” Via ISS archives. For our current available inventory please visit the website.

  • 11/27/96 : The “Taxi” XII dropped and was the first release for the XII. Hard to say anything bad about the originals, they were comfortable and built like tanks. A touch on the heavy side. What’s your experience with the “Taxi” XII? Have / had any of the releases? There has been 5 total releases over the years (counting the lows). Is it time for another? Or prefer to see the Cherry or Playoffs next instead? Shouts to @nikestories for the release reminder. If you’re not following his account by now...shame on you. _________________________ 📷: 1996 Original AJ XII “Taxi” via ISS archives. For our current available inventory please visit the website.
