NIKE ZOOM TALARIA 2014: THE COMEBACK TRAIL

The nike story starts in Kobe, Japan, in 1949, with one guy- Kihachiro Onitsuka. Motivated by the growth of basketball in Japan, as well as the need to rehabilitate juveniles after the consequences of World War Two, Kihachiro formed Onitsuka Co., a brand that would create sports footwear-despite its owner having an incredibly limited knowledge in athletic production. Throwing World into a layout obsession that drew inspiration from everything around him, Kihachiro created styles that were both revolutionary and effective.

In case you fell prey to the hype and purchased high, they are now gathering dust in the rear of your wardrobe (we trust). The same goes for running shoes. Looking back on 2012, it's pretty safe to say the minimalist running shoe fad was the talk of the fitness world. From Vibram FiveFingers to Nike Frees, those shoes were rocked by practically everybody at the gymnasium. (In fact, our post on the best minimalist running shoes was, and remains, the most popular post on Well Being.)

air max 97 cheap Does anyone else don't know why Nike won't merely retro the Air Talaria in its original 1998 form? It got a retro in the mid 2000s that never hit as hard as it should, but, inexplicably, Nike never let it get a resurrection in its memorable neon yellows, oranges or the lesser-seen green. Instead it was all greys and browns. In mid 2005 we expected the tennis ball neon returning (it even got tried) and then, nothingness. The Talaria is a masterpiece, albeit a flawed one -- the bottom filled advent of three quarter Zoom, visible on that flex-grooved outsole, was responsive and initiating but led to peeling soles. But that courageous, bold pre-millennial design is a cult classic. There was a boot that


was decent as a Tier Zero in 2007, with it's lifted medial side. There was a hybrid vehicle with the Talaria, AM90 and Humara bunged in a blender and being quite appetizing. An AF1 Talaria in the colours we craved was pretty much a middle-finger in in our direction. Now we get the Zoom Talaria 2014 (which we've also seen listed as the Zoom Talaria Trail) that makes some alterations to the shoe again -- extra traction using a trail running sole that lifts at the front for additional resistance, totally changed trail shoe design lacing, a no-sew 3M application on the toe box (we do not know why the green on the heel of this sample contrasts with the brilliantly-named Furious Green on this make-up) and some other tweaks. It was never truly broken past the adhesive on the outsole, so why do they keep trying to repair it? One of the greatest regions of the OG Talaria is the patterning on the sole unit -- this time it is reinterpreted in a braille-design place of dots. Even the colourway subverts some original colours. The Nike Zoom Talaria 2014 isn't a awful shoe by any means, but we just can not comprehend why it wanted a single amendment. It never needed muscles back in the day and it does not need them now. This Cedar/Fierce Green/Gym Red colourway drops next month, yet this version debuts in the store this weekend.

After decades of rumours, the New Balance M997 got a US-produced re-release earlier this year. We loved the greys (the image above ought to be the greys and these Writer's Group editions) and we liked these M997PR editions too. Anyone with style and some quid within their pocket required both inside their life. This makeup was probably much better than any collaboration this season, its literary motivated, really-tasteful colour mix. These were ridiculous expensive though (prices will most likely rise), but these are much better than twenty reduced shoes mixed. Perfection. This 1990 outline remains reassuringly expensive. http://www.definitionbangor.com/
