#12OGsofKicksmas Day 12 🎄
Tinker Hatfield understood the assignment:
✔️ Keep MJ with Nike
✔️ Include visible air unit
✔️ Develop iconic logo

Sneaker Freaker: “To this day, the ‘Black/Cement’ Air Jordan III is regarded by many sneakerheads as the quintessential Jordan.”

I’ve lost a lot over the years, and I’m blessed to have found a lot too. That’s what keeps me going sometimes.

Couldn’t wrap up the #12OGsofKicksmas with a better pair. Merry Christmas, my friends…keep being awesome and keep being you! #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

#12OGsofKicksmas Day 11

For me,the best non🏀 shoe-Air Max 90 -Tinker designed, technically it’s Air Max III, the “love heart” on the heel, bold colorways, hybrids/collabs/retros are too many to name. This is 2024’s Air Max 90 Drift in action green/black. 🎄

Only one more left after this, so I had to bring out a heavy hitter. Taken this morning before the snow hit.

Had to pull out the white cement 3s for day 11 of the #12OGsofKicksmas. #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

From my Special Editions Era pre-Covid. Air Jordan XXXIII SE White Gym Red Black. I found these while in LA for a Saints game.

I read that the inspiration for the designer was an astronaut glove.

A little later than normal today, but I had to complete the playoff trifecta this weekend. Day 9 of the #12OGsofKicksmas, featuring the 11s from 2019. #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

Before internet shopping, real ballers bought two pairs of shoes the day new Jordans etc were released. The new release was for the club at night. These were for the car wash/park/BBQ that morning and afternoon.

Forever my favorite. Had to bust out the real OGs once I saw it snowed last night.

Last day of work for 2024. Why not honor the daily drivers? Jordan 11 CMFRT Low

@jadendaly.bsky.social

Time for the playoff picture to heat up a little bit.

Another must for the #12OGsofKicksmas. Can’t do this without at least one or two playoff colorways…brought the 12s out for day 7. Happy Friday! #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #firefridays #sneakersky #solesky

Called an audible today and brought out another one of my favorites, and a popular choice.

Couldn’t do the #12OGsofKicksmas without the flints. Here they are on day 6. #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

Had just enough light this morning to take these shots as I was leaving for work. Couldn’t let this challenge go without rocking these at least once.

Brought out the cherry 12s for day 5 of the #12OGsofKicksmas. #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

Day 4 for me is more ‘OG-inspired’ as high tops are tough in Hawaii. I’m always in shorts.

@jadendaly.bsky.social

It took me this long into the #12OGsofKicksmas to pull out a 13. I’m not losing my touch, don’t call it a comeback.

Rocking the 2017 breds for day 4. #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

In the kitchen on day 3 in Nike Air Max LTD. I have had at least one pair of LTDs in rotation since the 90s. These all leather models I like at work.

@jadendaly.bsky.social

Had to throw on an older pair today with the rain up here in NYC. Could use a retro soon but the 2016 version still holds up.

One of the few Reebok I own.
Always loved AI’s game and love this colorway. Hits w/ Lakeshow gear.

Back for day 2 of the #12OGsofKicksmas. This pair grows on me every time I bring them out, and now that I’ve grown to love AJ1s, I have another reason why.

Royal reimagined highs today. Happy Sunday! #kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

(also, second best commercials after Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon joints)

You’re never too old to learn (or rock) something new.

Starting off the #12OGsofKicksmas with the newest piece in the collection. No better time to UNDS the Columbia 11s.

#kotd #yoursneakersaredope #wearyourkicks #sneakersky #solesky

Now that a lot of the #sneakersky/#solesky community is here, I want to host our first challenge on Bluesky!

The #12OGsofKicksmas (12/14-12/25)

Wear any OG colorway those 12 days (any brand, any model, as long as it’s an OG)

Reimagined colorways count too!
