Clash of the Kicks - Air Jordan True Flight Blk/Red/Yellow Vs. Wht/C. Blue

The year 2008 marked the end of the number Air Jordans (1-23) and ended with the instant classic Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Package. Many Jordan collectors were uncertain about the future of Jordan Brand. With mixed feelings about the unveiling of the Air Jordan 2009, the Air Jordan True Flight is certainly a model that is sure to be a hit among Jordan fans.


The Air Jordan True Flights are a supercharged version of the Air Jordan 7 with a higher cut, added Zoom Air and herrigbone pattern on the outsole for superior grip. The Air Jordan True Flights are set to release in many classic color-ways throught the Spring/Summer season, some classic Air Jordan 7 color-ways (Flint Grey, Black / Maize, Cardinals) and few new ones. Here are two color-ways set to release this weekend:




This week’s Clash of the JORDAN puts the first two color-ways head to head in an extreme showdown. Who is the winner? You decide…

Clash of the Kicks - Nike Dunk SB - Pigeons Vs. Tiffany




The previous two Clash of the Kicks were more targetted towards Air Jordans. This time around that battle continues but within the Nike SB department. Both pairs are notorious in their own ways and are ultimately impossible to find in deadstock condition. They sometimes are sold for as much as $600+ a pair! Here are the contenders….



1. The Nike Dunk SB Low - Pro Pigeon is the original Pigeon Dunk. It features a grey / red colorway and is constructed from leather and suede. The tongue is mesh, and a pigeon is featured on the heel of the shoe, hence the name “Pro Pigeon”. There was much anticipated hype for the release of this shoe, and it definitely lived up to it, and then some. Due to its immense success, Nike has release several other pairs which take inspiration from this particular model.


2. The Nike Dunk SB Low - Tiffany featurea an aqua and cool grey colorway, and were designed by Nick Tershay, the team manager of Diamond Supply, Co. They are part of the Team Manager Series, and were released with the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - Vapors (vapor / mineral yellow). However, these received much more attention, and were the most highly anticipated Nike Dunk SB perhaps, ever. It is rumored that only 4,000 pairs were produced. They are highly flashy and will turn heads anywhere. Due to its immense success, sneaker companies have released several models which take inspiration from this particular model and mimic its colorway.


Now it is time to decide the winner!
