The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Posted: 01 May 2011 12:43 PM PDT

THE GOOD THE BAD & THE UGLY

Three categories are distinguished by two letters in this week’s installment of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Player exclusives, iD creations, and Jordan Brand retros fill out what is sure to cause much debate. Is there such thing as too much of a good thing? Do certain PEs demand release? Can an iD be better than an actual release? All these questions are raised in this week’s good, bad, and ugly.

THE GOOD- NIKEiD ZOOM KD III “ENTOURAGE”

NikeiD Zoom KD III “Entourage”

For years sneakerheads have been playing with NikeiD to recreate their favorite colorways on new silhouettes. There’s strong argument that no one did it better than gentry187 on this “Entourage” KD III. From materials to color placement, this may be the first of many times we see an iD rival an OG.

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

All sorts of Nikes appealed to the team this week. From clean denim Forces to some wild, animalistic Chukkas, there a whole lot of range in this group. Let us know which shoe was your favorite in the comments section.

Nike Air Max 95 "Blue Spark"

Sure, the “Blue Spark” Nike Air Max 95 looks just like the “Photo Blue” Nike Air Max 95 that released last year, but that was once my staff pick. Therefore, I’m going with the “Blue Spark” pair this week. The gradient grey effect is a winner in my book every time, but I am really intrigued by the blue spark hints and how they contrast perfectly with the gradient element.
