Why is it that some trainers instantly sellout while others barely get the recognition they deserve? Sure, those that are "ultra-limited"; or backed by a celebrity endorsement are quick to fly off the shelves. But step away from the "hyped"; trainers and you'll find some low-key bangers' that would have ordinarily sold-out.
Take for example, the Air Max 97 'Premium Suede' Pack or the latest collab from Pharrell Williams, both sitting at JD Sports. Here we take a look at this underrated footwear which is worthy of your attention.
Have you ever seen an Air Max 97 with a rubberised upper? This promises the ultimate in protection and looks dope too! Also available in white or khaki but this triple black rendition is our favourite.
The trend for visible and oversized branding continues into 2018 with another batch of totally unique styles. Take this Air Max 95 which sees a vintage print cover an overlay across the lace surround. These almost look like an exclusive collab.
It's the blacked-out midsole which makes this Flyknit AM90 so appealing. As the perfect contrast to that khaki upper, these could be your new go-to during the colder months.
How are these even sitting? Arguably the most fuego colourway yet for the range showcases a simplistic theme of grey matched with linen white overlays. This versatile silhouette can be worn year-round, so it may be worth copping if not to put these away for those sunny days.
And you thought the Huarache was dead! Nike revive this once hugely sought-after trainer with all new contemporary details. A cutting-edge midsole and stretchy neoprene upper makes this a comeback worth get excited about.
Sure, these aren't "underrated"; but they would be classed as "low key"; given a full size run is still showing following that restock. It was considered one of last year's finest Air Max 97 colourways which not surprisingly, instantly sold-out. This is likely your final chance to cop.
By far the hottest colourway for the Climacool 02/17 range, this style went completely unnoticed when it launched earlier this week. With a subtle gum outsole, that monochromatic colourway looks seriously appealing.
The iconic silhouette often looks best in these colourways where subtle hits of colour are balanced by a predominantly simple shade. Turquoise features to the Air Unit underfoot as well as the inner lining and mini-Swoosh to the sidewall.
How could we forget about this 'JD Exclusive' Nike Vapormax? With a hard-wearing upgrade, those synthetic overlays are guaranteed to keep your feet dry in the worst of the UK weather. A blacked-out bubble is the perfect contrast to that khaki upper.
