The Reves Paris Air Kiy has to be one of the most interesting and controversial shoes we’ve ever reviewed (and we’ve reviewed A LOT of shoes). It’s obviously a bootleg of an absolute classic sneaker, but it carries with it a message. A message to consumers and to Nike/Jordan as the top contributors in sneaker culture. These aren’t cheap by any means, but getting them is definitely easier than some Air Jordans.
Check out Chris’s thoughts on the Air Kiy in the video and article.
