If you recall, Nike re-released the Shox BB4, a shoe that incorporated Nike’s Shox technology (16 years in the making at the time), in its <a href="http://lovelyarab.com/profile_blog_full.php?id=460788"><strong>Christian Louboutin high heeled boots in White CL88029</strong></a> original colorway at select spots during the summer of 2009. Do you vividly remember this day in sneaker history?
