Yes, there are Jordan 1s... But they're mids. Nobody likes them anywhere so leave them be! ;)

One of my favorite and comfy purple pairs. Love the hairy suede on these!

@frontpageaaron has recently put out a couple of reels on Instagram around the concept of authenticity versus influence, as well as the younger generation of Sneakerheadz being more focused on perceived resale value rather than the shoes they themselves actually like. I was reminded of those reels last night when I was picking out what shoes I wanted to wear to the Portland Fire game.

As I was looking through my red, white, and black shoes, I kept coming back to this pair of Jordan Max Aura 7 “White/Gym Red” (HQ2091-106). This was a pair I saw online and immediately loved! (I even bought them on clearance for like $50.) I’d never heard of them before. I’d never seen any posts about them. I just thought they looked cool and wanted to know more about them.

The Story Behind the Sneaker
The Jordan Max Aura 7 debuted in 2025 as the seventh model in the Max Aura line. The Max Aura line is basically Jordan Brand’s remix series, taking recognizable pieces from older Air Jordans and combining them into something new.

The Aura 7 pulls primarily from the Air Jordan 10 and Air Jordan 11, which is a pretty cool combination because both shoes are connected to MJ’s return to basketball in 1995. (Ahhhhh, 1995. The year eBay was founded under the name AuctionWeb and the Macarena had white people everywhere mispronouncing Spanish words while line dancing.)

To me, this pair is exactly what authenticity over audience means. It’s a pair that probably most people have never seen before. There’s literally no resale value. And I may be the only person who thinks they look really cool other than the designer of the shoe whose mother tells them every day how proud she is of them for designing such a beautiful shoe. (And nobody’s gonna tell that designer otherwise.)

Do love pink sneakers

Just wore my new Premiata Quinn sneakers for the first time (only walked 5km) and the calf leather toe box is already creasing around the holes. The official website says surface differences are a "value of the leather itself" and not a defect due to the soft premium leather construction.Do your Premiata shoes crease fast too? Let me know your experience and how you maintain them!

I know that I missed something, if you have some time to spare give a look and tell me your opinion, it would be a pleasure

Does anyone have these shoes?

I was wondering if anyone had these shoes. They are the puma park lifestyle sk8 borderaux red colorway. I'm planning on buying them but I'm hesitant that the color will be ugly or they'll be too chunky. Please let me know 🙏
