Fatigues or camouflage is a print that will never go out of style. I remember when I was in middle school Wu-Tang had everyone rocking it. When I joined the Army in 2001 we were issued green Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) or as a nonmilitary person would call them fatigues. I remember family and friends asking me to mail them stuff all the time lol. It was not free so I did it once and a while. Well now it’s 2013 and it’s still going strong. Back in the day only men really rocked them but now I see the trend of ladies rocking them with cropped shirts, heels, or sneakers. Just in case you didn’t know I was a sneaker head before I had my daughter. I really had a problem. I use to write in forums, go to sneaker conventions, and order at least 3-6 a month. You got to remember back then sneakers were also extremely cheaper. I still have sneakers that are wrapped in the box that need to come out or get sold.
Nike has really been going strong with camouflage sneakers. The Camouflage Foamposites $220 -$280 have been a big hit with men and women. Since my feet are big they look to manly on me. Also I wasn’t paying that.
I’m excited about the New Air Max Camo Collection they are releasing. I love me some Air Maxes. How awesome is it that Nike is paying homage to cultures and countries that have helped make Nike the global brand it is today? They are using vintage camo print from the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Germany, and Italy. Also mixing them up using Air Max 1, 90, 95, 97, 180 and Classic BW. I’ve never really been a girly girl but I would pay more for sneakers than I would for heels bahahaha. I can’t find the price of these but I bet there are a pretty nickel. Berlin will get them July 3rd. No word on the exact dates or if the US will get them. I know they will be on eBay but you know they are going to cost there. Also remember when buying from eBay make sure you are not buying knock offs. For more information on the release of Air Max Camo styles in select cities check out @Nikestadiums on Instagram.

I’ve had problems with both the Air Max 95 UK and Japan came editions. In both pairs, the side triple panels are pulling away from the shoe as if they were never glued down. Has anyone else come across this problem and if so what did you do to fix it? Thanks.
