Nike Lava Dome Grey/Navy
Gary: “The Nike Lava Dome is a perfect shoe that captures the similarities in the innate crappiness of both Portland and London’s weather systems. I’m always staggered that these were originally released around 1981, because the shape feels akin to the kind of shoes that dropped a decade later. Lava Domes always feel uncomfortable for a short while until they break in and become one of the most comfortable shoes ever. Approach retros without the groundbreaking GORE-TEX lining seem a little redundant whereas the addition of Zoom Air to the Lava Dome makes it even better. That suede gets better with every wear, the Georgetown makeup is killer ? a good sequel to the old beige and navys too ? and I literally wore these for two months straight when I got them. That’s a testament to the ‘great’ British summertime.”
