Nike Air Max Plus “Rebellious Air” Officially Unveiled

There are high expectations for the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” aka “Columbia” dropping later this year. It’s an annual tradition for Jordan Brand to drop a marquee Air Jordan 11 release during every holiday season, and with nearly a year’s worth of previews, leaks, organic coverage, unboxings, and Instagram posts, Jordan Brand has very little to do when it comes to marketing the product. Simply put, Air Jordan 11s are the “must-have” shoe every holiday shopping season, and for 2024 the Jumpman will unleash a long-awaited version that could shatter records.

Fact: Having a go-to sneaker makes getting dressed every day a little easier. A sneaker is the most versatile shoe in your closet—it can be dressed up, casual, sporty, a statement, colorful, and everything in between. Most of all, sneakers are the shoes we can depend on the most for still looking put-together through long commutes or vacations that involve walking. Tennis shoes can be styled with anything in your closet, and bridge the gap between fashion and function. You get the point—everyone needs at least one dependable sneaker in their wardrobe, and if you’re in the market for a new style, Sketcher’s comfiest offering is currently on sale at QVC for only $39.99 while supplies last.

Penny Hardaway's Original Nike Air Foamposite One Is Officially Coming Back







As retro sneakers continue to be the prevailing trend, Nike is readying the return of a fan-favorite model that is poised to cap off the summer season in style.


Originally released in 1999, the Nike Air SNDR Max (formerly known as the Air Sunder Max) was a performance cross-training shoe that arrived during an experimental period of the brand’s design. Sneakers of the late ‘90s are often associated with elements such as vibrant colors, unique constructions and heaps of reflectivity — all of which the Air SNDR Max boasts in droves.
