No Duck Walk Required

Many of us have a treasured pair of sneakers that leave us torn between two ideals…keep them fresh/deadstock for show or rock ‘em to show off. Those who choose the latter have devised a simple way of achieving a happy median…The Duck Walk aka the new kicks strut. The exact gait is unique to each person, but the ‘sole’ purpose is the same—DON’T CREASE THE SHOE!! A bent toebox can be as detrimental to the look and value of a shoe as an ink stain because once it’s there, ain’t no getting it out. However, the Duck Walk is a fallible solution. Eventually, you will take a wrong step or may have to run and that’s when the crease will strike.

Luckily major brands and shoe aficionados have taken notice to sneaker culture’s obsession with keeping kicks deadstock. The Jordan brand and Nike in particular recently began to include cardboard inserts instead of paper to fill some of their more noteworthy models. The cardboard keeps the shape of the shoe better and can be worn with the shoe. However, the insert is still pliable so don’t get too excited--an alleviated Duck Walk is still needed. For the rest of your collection Chef of GourmetKickz has developed and released The Decreaser™. You wear this plastic, five finger insert with your shoe to [what else!?] eliminate creases. It stops creasing by forming to the shape and height of your shoe's toebox. The comfortable Decreaser™ is well worth its price tag of $10 a pair since it will increase the life or your kicks tenfold.

Unfortunately nothing is perfect as the product’s website warns, “The Decreaser™ is not intended to be worn during sports or heavy running.” With that said, don’t expect them to withstand the torture of a 5-on-5 pick up…ain’t happening.

These will help you stay Fly without a Duck Walk to keep them Birds chirping. Ya digg!
