Heyloha Gorgeous

Nike Lunar Force 1 VT 
I greatly respect Jordan, Shaq, Bird, Ewing and even the wife-cheating Kobe. They are gods on the court with what they can do with a basketball.

BUT off the court, I'm more in awe with the Nike design team. Because these Lunar Force sneakers are simply amazing. The gradation of the purple to red shoes hit all the right notes. It balances modern looks with a classic shape. The little leopard print in the black shoes show men a great way to mix things up with an animal print without looking like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America. I'm not saying that Nike is perfect. They don't always get the design right, but when they do, I have that giddy feeling of a kid who discovers that his favorite chocolate bar was made even better. That's what these shoes do for me. It's like discovering that a Snickers bar was put inside a Cronut and you don't have to wait in line.

YES
I can relate to women who go crazy for shoes. But instead of fantasizing about skipping through the tulips, these sneakers make me feel like I just signed a shoe deal.

NO
The designer sneaker knock-offs are a bit laughable. Even though I love Rick Owens and Raf Simons' clothes, their sneakers are hideous. Stick to the runway boys. Leave the court to the experts. Remember, even Ricardo Tisci of Givenchy only wears Nikes.

MAYBE
You're a skater and Vans are more your thing. Touche.
