Sneaker Of the Week

This Weeks Sneaker Picked by Soul conn Member De'rek is the Air Jordan 11 .
The 11's were released in 1995 and is def a very popular Jordan. The Air Jordan XI heralded a triple comeback; Jordan’s return to the NBA, the return of designer Tinker Hatfield, and disappointingly, the return of the unpopular clear soles that yellowed with age.(I LOVED THE SOLE)..

While the design of this model was premium, the quality was sadly lacking and despite the release of low-top versions, the Jordan XI was not the most popular of all the Air Jordan shoes at first, But When the Jordan XI's were retroed in 2000-2001 they became the fastest selling, most popular Jordan retros of all.


"Defintly one of the dopest sneakers of all time. Or otherwise know as the come back jays. The combination of comfort and style has yet to be matched. The first successful shoe to introduce patent leather and upper mesh, along with the also sexy icey sole:). I remember waiting in line at like 6am on a school day to cop my second pair blk/red. The blk/wht concord's dropped earlier that year! (1995-1996) . I also remeber being the person to rock my joints to school early.what a feeling, it kinda adds to a young mans swagger.hahaha The whole day you walk different. I eventually had to just put my pair on ice because of all the fakes that were dropin and peoples ignorence to factory varients now this sneaker I held on to is worth up to 400$ and up.most def one of my favorite sneakers of all time." - De'rek

Local highschool students favorite sneaker

In this post we will be selecting local students to interview about there favorite sneakers...

this week we have selected a local Bethel high student that some of you could possibly know who goes by the name of Mattie! His favorite sneaker is the Nike Penny Foamposite

"My love for this shoe is incredible, Out of all the basketball releases I've seen growing up and had been admiring. I've chosen this one as my Grail. Have you ever seen any b-ball shoe with the whole package. Style, Comfort, and Technology all combined into one. This particular colorway caught my eye among the Foampostie collection (royal blue/black). The royal blue stands out as if waves were painted on and the black just seems to blend so well making this shoe Unique and ahead of its time. Nike made the greatest basketball shoe ever to grace the hardwood floors of America." Mattie
