While the return of the Huarache Light was significantly overshadowed by the original Air Huarache’s 2014 renaissance, it still managed to steal a bit of the spotlight, especially thanks to the Mowabb-inspired edition, which was one of many great Size? x NSW projects to surface this year.

(3) – air max super bad

The Air Force 1 has traveled quite a bit from basketball, to Retro, to Sportswear, to high-end luxury sneaker. This three-pronged collaboration with designer Riccardo Tisci, a legend in the making in his own field, was undoubtedly the prize of 2014 in terms of AF1 offerings .

Every year we recall a “sleeper” hit – a shoe release that happens without warning and ends up being celebrated as one of the best. The “Moon Landing”, an homage to Buzz Aldrin’s walk on the moon, definitely champions that category; releasing only at reject Nike Sportswear accounts, the Air Max Lunar90 SP featured a fully reflective Vac-Tech upper that featured 3D-like moon-surface graphics.
