Got these Nike Air Max Trainer 1.3 from Nike’s online clearance section. I can live with the dark grey/varsity red colorway at a major discounted price.
Only thing is these shoes make my feet hot. They don’t ventilate well, and I guess that’s why Nike sells the Trainer 1.3 Breathe version.
Just some pictures of the Jordan Trunner Flash and Dominate. No reviews.
What does Flash, Dominate, and 1.3 all have in common? These are Nike shoes that I recently ordered hoping to find a good all round shoe. I’m looking for something comfy to wear for extended periods. Unfortunately, Nike no longer seems to make the Metal Max or TL lines that were sturdy and supportive.
Since I couldn’t find all three of these shoes in one retail store, I bought them all online with the intent of returning two (or more… or less).
The Jordan Trunner Flash with the Brilliant Green accent looks cool, but I have my doubts about wearing this for hours. So I kept looking and found the Jordan Trunner Dominate in the Nike online Clearance section at 40% off. The Dominate doesn’t look more supportive than the Flash, but its description says otherwise.
If you’re interested in the clearance section, be sure to check daily with frequent updates and additions. You might even luck out and find the correct size of a shoe that’s $70 off its original price tag. That’s the surprise I found with the Nike Trainer 1.3 Max+ in a dark/cool grey, varsity red, and white colorway. Not my first choice of colors, but it works with that big discount.
Now to try them on and see which pair I’m keeping.
I just don’t get it. Dwyane Wade was selected as the heir apparent of Team Jordan, succeeding the Jordan branded shoes. After three years, Wade is reportedly breaking ties and going with Chinese kicks up and comer, Li-Ning.
But looking back, my low interest in Wade-endorsed Jordans should be my kicks prognostics. The LeBrons, Kobes, Kevin Durants, and even retro Jordans are on my radar. I’d probably be hard pressed to point out a shoe worn by DWade in a kicks lineup.
On the other hand, you have to ask yourself it this is any better?
Back in 2006, Team Jordan released an exclusive Thunder and Lightning Air Jordan 4 set. This Fall get ready for more thunder and possibly, a second strike of lightning. The re-release of the Black Thunders has been announced which may be followed by the Yellow Lightning.
I guess Nike didn’t listen to Pixar’s Lightning McQueen who knows that thunder always comes after lightning. Ka-chow!
It’s highly unlikely, but I wonder if Nike would consider designing shoes inspired by HBO’s Game of Thrones. There could be some interesting colorways tied to the regions and peoples of Westeros.
The family sigils have already been redesigned by Nike’s Darrin Crescenzi, and I could easily see these translated to Nike’s kicks. Hmm, a shaggy, equine Dothraki Dunk or a dragon-scaled Targaryen Air Force One…
Came across these items while browsing Safeway.
Still no Slam magazine Kicks edition. I might have to look elsewhere.
The Air Jordan 4 was retroed in a Thunder and Lightning pack back in 2006. The 2012 Olympic Games bring a thunder and lightning rendition of the Air Jordan 6 and 7. Dubbed the Golden Moments Pack, this set includes an Air Jordan 6 in white and gold and an Air Jordan 7 in black and gold.
$350 for this piece of Olympic kicks history. Available August 18, 2012.
Nike’s new Air Max Express is a great combination of old and new stylings. Love the vintage Air Max logo and incorporating a velcro strap is always a plus. These colorways are crazy, but they work. The orange grey is my favorite but the black and green is definitely the most wearable.
Of course, these would blend in perfectly at Disneyland…
When you got the means and the addiction, you can be a kicks addict like Nate Robinson. Check out his kicks gallery. Here’s just his Foamposite collection.
Will Hauns Brereton keep his fiery Adidas when UH’s Big West season begins? Okay, so these red and black Adidas don’t match the UH unis, but superstition says that if you got the hot hand, you keep doing what you been doing. If Hauns can score 47 points a game then he needs to keep them kicks!

Scanning pictures taken from the blessing ceremony for Season 3 of Hawaii Five-0, I didn’t see anyone wearing the custom designed Nike Free Trainer 5.0. These shoes needed an appearance at this event. 🙁
I’m hoping these kicks are seen sometime this season on or off air, preferably on air. C’mon H50, if you got custom kicks, you gotta book’em rock’em!
