Hey, I'm Kieran

An Australian with Irish heritage, I've called London home since 2007, but my passion for sneakers stretches back to the 80s - the prime of NBA basketball. Growing up watching and playing basketball, 80s and 90s NBA is a big part of my life, with Larry Johnson’s Cons Aero Jets from 1993 being my all-time grail.

My work can be seen on the BBC, The Sole Supplier, Offspring, Sneakerjagers, The Urban Syndicate, Sneaker History, and the YouTube channel ‘Nacho Average Finds’. I’m also a proud alumnus of the Fashion Institute of NYC, with a Certificate in Sneaker Essentials.

 

If I'm not reading and writing about sneakers, I'm teaching my kids how to clean theirs.

Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic Reimagined”

โ€‹

In 2025, a major drop coming from Jordan Brand is the Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic Reimagined”. The Tinker Hatfield designed Jordan will release in an OG 1990 colourway of Black/White-Metallic Silver-Fire Red, and comes with an icy midsole, a lace lock and, drawing inspiration from World War II fighter planes, an aggressive shark-tooth pattern across the midsole. It will of course come with the huge 3M tongue and the inimitable clear netting on the side panels.

Yet to see exactly what “Reimagined” will mean this time around… hopefully just back to the OG shape… and then I’ll be first in line.
