Nike SB Dunk High Brut

The Nike SB Brut high was released as part of Nike SB Gentleman’s Pack back in 2007 and was part of the black and purple box era.  These dunk’s were inspired by Brut cologne’s bottle which features a green, black and grey colorway.  They feature a mix of leather and suede, one of the softest suede’s I have ever felt.  Other features include a shiny metallic swoosh and metallic thread on the tongue.

Unfortunately these shoes weren’t very popular when they released because some collector’s complained that they weren’t as pretty as Nike SB Hulk’s; a dunk high that also came in green.  I thought that these people were crazy, but it worked out for me because I was able to buy Bruts at retail, and then find them and buy them again for under retail.  One of the best advantages you can have in collecting is to ignore what other’s are saying and just collect what you like.

Nike Air Max 90 Retro 2020

2020 was a great year for Air Max 90 collectors because Nike decided to release various colorways of the retro sneaker.  Obliviously the most popular was the infrared, but for me I preferred to get the royal blue version; style number is CD0881-102.  The blue color just pops and I really like how it matches a Blue Jays fitted (these 90’s could have used a little red to match even further IMO).

While Nike did a great job on these sneakers, I still have some complaints.  First off the box they come packaged in is slim and so the shoes are literally crushed inside (though I do love how the box colorway matches the shoes).  Another complaint is the quality of materials used, they feel cheap and flimsy.  It’s weird how Nike spends all this time redesigning the sneaker but ends up using flimsy materials.  Oh well what can you do; at least they’re still comfortable to wear.
