While they make sure to keep the OG heads happy with retro releases, you can’t blame Jordan Brand for wanting to tweak the sneakers from the legacy series with updated technology. Think of it as a “What If?” moment where past meets present, mixing up design elements across decades. The latest of these hybrids is the Air Jordan 8.0, a revamped version of Jordan’s eighth signature sneaker. With th..

The Nike Zoom Rookie LWP, a mashup of the Air Flight One, Nike Air Go LWP and Foamposite One, has jumped the ranks to become one of Nike’s more popular hybrid models, which presumably means Nike will churn out new colorways on a somewhat accelerated basis. Is this good business strategy or a devilish scheme? Considering the rumor that Nike produced precisely 666 pairs of the new black/max orange..
