When a sneaker becomes popular, you can expect the brand behind the model to pump out colorway after colorway until the shoe gets run into the ground. Those in the know have seen it happen dozens of times before with tons of sneakers. With the spirit of Christmas in full swing, I might as well take some time out to write a little sneaker-related Christmas wish, and that's to see less of the Nike Roshe Run in 2015.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Roshe Run and what it stands for - an affordable, comfortable lifestyle runner. It slowly gained traction after a quiet initial release a couple of years ago, but after countless colorways and material change-ups, I'm left with thinking the Roshe has run its course. If it's as much a modern classic as what myself and other bloggers and writers in the sneaker community love to hail the Roshe Run as, then it should be treated as one. Instead of new colors season after season, it would be nice to see one or two "essential" looks available all year round. When you only have a couple of colorways in the market, there's less model fatigue, and it gives Roshe collectors more incentive to hold on to their shoes.
What shoe would you like to see less of next year? Let me know in the comments section!
They should also lessen the new CWs for Janoskis. The first time i saw a pair of SJs i was shocked because of its classy look, but now they're just recycling old CWs a d changing its materials. The new CWs looks like crap now.
