QOTV: If you had to give up all of your kicks except one pair, which pair would it be?
With the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Bright Crimson” dropping last weekend, its no shock that celebrities were spotted rocking them this week. Up and coming Atlanta based rapper, Future, kept it simple with all black and a designer belt. The legendary Scarface brought his fresh pair out on stage at the Rock the Bells concert in New Jersey with a matching striped polo and blue jeans. Harlem rapper Jim Jones wore a heather grey shirt with crimson and black accents, a matching hat, and blue jeans with his foamposites. All three rappers put their own twist on the sneaker. Question is…Who Rocked It Better? Vote for your choice and let us know why on Twitter.

When Marty Mcfly rocked a pair of never seen Nikes on Back to the Future, the sneaker culture pined for a chance to own a pair. After 20 years of anticipation, a lucky few received a yellow oversized box with no barcode, style number, or MSRP visible. Inside of the box, were the Nike MAG. MAG stands for Magnetic Anti Gravity, which suffices for the amount of attention drawn to the “most popular shoes in history”. Those who own a pair are almost considered an elite society. One year ago today, Nike officially unveiled this one of a kind shoe, and the hype around them spiked to astronomical levels. Sneakerheads everywhere clamored for a way to get their hands on a pair, and celebrities became the source of envy as they showed their pair off via social networks as rumors of exorbitant payments being made for a pair made the rounds. The best thing about the shoe is there was an auction held surrounding them that raised money for Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in honor of Marty McFly himself. Check the video below for the story behind the Nike MAG.
The Back to the Future inspired shoes illuminated in dark, and had a much higher build than the average shoe. The shoe still turns heads and drops jaws like none before or after. Anyone who owns a pair has undoubtedly answered “how did you get those?” more than a fair amount of times. With only 1,510 pair made, do you own a pair? Do you know anybody who does?

The “Fireberry” and “Atomic Green” Nike Air Max Hyperposites debuted in stores today; however, the “Camo” Hyperposite, which surfaced at the top of the week, garnered more interest than any Hyperosite we’ve come across. Camouflage has been a part of countless trends over the years, covering shorts, pants, hats, and most of all, basketball sneakers. To coincide with the “Camo” Hyperposite’s surfacing, we have compiled an awesome list of limited edition camo-printed basketball shoes. Were you able to get your hands on any of these?
The Hyperposite has been causing quite a buzz with its first few colorways that released today. Now, with a camouflage makeup recently unveiled, the ruling has been made and it seems as if these will be highly sought after when they release later this year.
Thanks to a very welcome holiday weekend, this work week flew by and we’re already showcasing our latest Staff Picks. Scroll through and tell us what your picks were for the week.

The Nike Air Max 95 is one of my favorite silhouettes ever, and this particular pair is sitting atop my list of shoes to purchase. I really like the different shades of grey on this 95.
