Last Saturday (September 15), AKT!V outlets have already received their stocks of new 2012 footwear for the 3^rd and 4^th quarter of the year.  For adults, 3 new styles are now available – the Rocket 3.0 Mid (four different colorways), Guardian Mid, and the Thunder Mid.  There are also kid’s sizes of the Thunder Mid (two colorways) and Rocket 3.0 Mid.

Price point as follows, as shared in our previous blog post (click  HERE) :

Men’s

• Thunder Mid = Php 3,995
• BLACK/ROYAL/SILVER
• Rocket 3.0 Mid = Php 2,395
• WHITE/WHITE/ROYAL
• ASPHALT/ASPHALT/BLACK
• WHITE/WHITE/ BLACK
• BLACK/BLACK
• Guardian Mid = Php 5,495
• CRIMSON/ CRIMSON/BLACK

Kids’

• Thunder Mid = Php 2,295
• GOLD/GOLD TRUE PURPLE
• BLACK/VARSITY RED/BLACK
• Rocket 3.0 Mid = Php 1,995
• WHITE/WHITE/ROYAL

In my honest opinion, the Thunder Mid is a performance shoe that appears to be a combination of the Diamond Mid, Cornering Mid, and Assault Mid.  The Guardian Mid has already been previously featured in Sole Spotlight back in July (click HERE for the blog article) while the Rocket 3.o is definitely a worthy successor to the previous incarnations of Rocket (1.0 and 2.0).  Posted some reference pictures below.

The Rocket 1.0 and Rocket Low, with the Rocket 2.0.

For the young ballers, the one pair that sticks out from the pack is the LA Lakers colorway of the Thunder Mid.  In true purple and gold fashion, this pair will definitely look good paired with a Laker jersey/shorts.  The Rocket 3.0 also comes out in white & blue, and it might be a good choice if the kiddo wants to match his dad who might have also bought the adult version with the same colorway.
