A double dose for sneakerheads today. First, Raakhee Mirchandani runs down the new kicks for summer. Our favorite: Nike’s back-to-school line, out Aug. 1, with shoe patterns based on Elmer’s glue bottles and Crayola crayon boxes. We have a picture of the Mead notebook-inspired dunks.
And this seemed a good excuse to reprint our “sole survivors” feature from 2005, in which sneakerhead Sam Blake ran down all the classic kicks that are still being reissued, from the 1968 Puma “Clyde” to the 1973 Vans slip-on to the 1989 Reebok Omni Pump.
Just click through the photo slideshow to get both these sneaker features.
