Yeah, we're showcasing more Nike All Courts. It's All Court weather - these are good with shorts, or the fancypants rolled-up chino brigade. The fact they're extremely comfortable is another reason to respect the Nike shoe with the air of Jack Purcell about it. You'd have thought we would have run out of words about this model by now - and you'd be right. But we'd soon talk rubbish for a few paragraphs and repeat ourselves than suffer an awkward e-silence. The canvas versions are cool, but the brace of neutral-coloured suede versions has been welcome for a fair compromise between premium feel and simple looks. The Birch colour is one of the best so far. We went from having a couple of OG pairs (dated 1981) in store on Crooked's launch to a fair few new makeups. Nike really want this model to break through into the realm of wardrobe standard, and they're not slacking on the output - there's some good Vintage versions set for early July too if you can stomach some slight midsole yellowing. You can grab these from the Crooked Tongues store now at a particularly reasonable price...
