Take Flight: KD V iD Spotlight

This week, Nike released the KD IV iD to be designed in custom colorways by customers. The shoe has 8 different parts of the shoe to customize which are the upper, swoosh, lining, outsole, midsole, laces, lace loops, and personal ID. My favorite thing about these are the ability to make certain parts of the shoe glow in the dark, as well as being able to speckle the mid-soles. As I wrote in my blog entry last week the shoe release to stores on December, 8th. Due to the iD however, customers may be able to get their hands on the shoes earlier.

I cooked up 3 iD's and will be displaying them below.

The first of the iD's is a sneaker inspired by the KD IV All Star. The sports an upper in metallic silver, along with and orange swoosh, grey lacing, a midsole in navy with glow in the dark speckles, and to finish it off I added a glow in the dark outsole. I am a fan of the shoe and will be adding one to my collection, hopefully.

The next shoe took inspiration from the Nike Mag. Also known as the Back to the Future Shoes, mine were inspired by the grey upper of the mags and sport a white midsole with blue speckles. They also have a white outsole. I really like the speckled midsole as it add some "pop" to the shoe. Overall, this would be another solid shoe to purchase. Unfortunately, these do not powerlace!

Fianlly, the Retro Grizzlies shoe takes the bright blue and pink hues from the old Grizzlies logo and translates them onto a sneaker silhouette. The shoes and logo share a black base, with hints of blue and pink all around the shoes. Overall, these shoes I like, however black hyperfuse material tends to get dirty easily and that makes my decision to buy a bit harder.
