TEQCopsKicks is a personal sneaker collection archive built from real ownership, not reposts or hype. Every shoe featured is part of my own collection, documented through photography, video, and short-form reviews.
I go by TEQNiK G, and what started as a way to keep track of the sneakers I’ve owned has grown into a platform where I share unboxings, wear reviews, and honest thoughts on sneaker releases—past, present, and upcoming.
My collection and content are heavily rooted in Nike and Jordan, two brands that have shaped my taste and the direction of this archive over time.
The focus is simple: document the collection, talk sneakers honestly, and create clean, consistent sneaker content without chasing trends. TEQCopsKicks is for collectors who care about the shoes, the details, and the stories behind them.

Welcome to Episode 09 of TEQCopsKicks. Today we’re taking a look at the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Medium Olive and Summit White” (HQ6998-200), releasing January 2026. This one is all about clean execution—earth tones, classic blocking—and the newer direction Jordan Brand has been taking with the Jordan 1 Low OG. In this video, I unbox the pair and break it down for real: Color blocking + materials The Low OG vs. SE Low differences The bigger OG-style Swoosh and why it changes the whole side profile The updated build details, including 8 eyelet holes instead of 7 on a lot of earlier versions The Sail midsole choice and how it shifts the overall look And for the record—Travis Scott didn’t invent earth tones. Earth tones just work because they look natural, grounded, and clean on the AJ1.
Air Jordan 1 Low Method of Make V3 ‘Black / Metallic Silver’ | TEQCopsKicks Episode 08
In Episode 08 of TEQCopsKicks, we’re taking a detailed look at the Air Jordan 1 Low Method of Make V3 in the Black and Metallic Silver colorway. This isn’t your typical Jordan 1 Low. The Method of Make series focuses on materials, construction, and experimentation rather than nostalgia. With layered paneling, mesh underlays, reflective accents, and a bold chrome 3D Swoosh, this sneaker feels like an Air Jordan 1 Low OG and a Nike Vomero 5 had a baby. The Air Jordan 1 debuted back in 1985, but this version clearly isn’t trying to simply look like an OG. It’s pushing the silhouette forward with early-2000s tech-runner inspiration and modern design elements.

Air Jordan 17 Doernbecher Freestyle (Zach Rumbaugh) | TEQCopsKicks Episode 06
In Episode 06 of TEQCopsKicks, we take an in-depth look at the Air Jordan 17 Retro “Doernbecher Freestyle” designed by Zach Rumbaugh. This episode is about more than just sneakers. The Doernbecher Freestyle program gives kids the opportunity to work alongside Nike designers to turn their personal journeys into real footwear — all while helping fund critical care, treatment, and research through Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Zach Rumbaugh was treated at Doernbecher for a rare heart condition that required intensive care. Instead of letting that experience define him, he used design to tell his story — and the Air Jordan 17 became the canvas. From the automotive-inspired materials to the glow-in-the-dark outsole and the subtle details that reference Zach’s journey, this shoe represents resilience, creativity, and purpose. This is an honest, respectful review focused on the story, the design, and what makes this release special. 📌 Shoe Details: • Model: Air Jordan 17 Retro “Doernbecher Freestyle” • Designer: Zach Rumbaugh • Style Code: IO7684-921 • Release: January 2026 • Retail: $230

This pair blends classic Y2K runner aesthetics with modern comfort, featuring a black and white mesh base, metallic silver TPU heel caging, and bold Court Purple overlays throughout the midfoot, trim, and outsole.

Originally designed as a performance runner, the Vomero 5 has evolved into one of Nike’s most versatile lifestyle sneakers — and this colorway proves why. 👟 Cop or pass? Drop your thoughts below.
Nike GT Future ‘Metallic Silver’ Review | Lifestyle Over Performance? | Episode 04
In Episode 04 of TEQCopsKicks, I break down the Nike GT Future ‘Metallic Silver’ and talk about what this shoe really is — a basketball-inspired lifestyle sneaker, not a traditional performance hoop shoe. While the GT Future features Zoom Air and Cushlon foam, the overall feel, molded upper, and materials make it better suited for casual wear than serious on-court runs. The futuristic design, sculpted lines, and reflective finish make it a statement piece — but there are tradeoffs. ⚠️ Important Note: This Metallic Silver colorway uses a 3M-style reflective material that can scuff, crease, and flaw easily. If you care about keeping your shoes clean, wear them with caution. This episode focuses on design, real-world use, and who this shoe actually makes sense for. Shoe Info: Nike GT Future ‘Metallic Silver’ Style Code: FZ5590-002 / FZ5591-002 Release Date: December 2025 Let me know how you feel about Nike pushing lifestyle energy into basketball design.
Nike Cortez Leather Black/White (DM4044-001) – Retro Icon Reworked | Episode 03
In this episode, I take a look at the Nike Cortez Leather Black/White (DM4044-001) — a classic silhouette that’s been updated based on real feedback from Cortez fans. Nike reworked the original Cortez while keeping its unmistakable retro appeal. This updated version features a wider toe box for improved comfort, firmer side panels for better stability, and a more durable leather upper designed to help prevent warping, creasing, and scuffing during everyday wear. The iconic foam midsole with wedge insert keeps things comfortable, while the herringbone outsole delivers classic traction and heritage style. Cortez Origins Originally designed in 1972 by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, the Nike Cortez was created to be lighter and more comfortable than any running shoe of its time. It quickly became one of the most popular running shoes in the country and has since evolved into a cultural icon that goes far beyond the track. This episode is part of TEQCopsKicks, where I document my personal sneaker collection through video, photography, and honest commentary — no reselling, no hype chasing, just sneakers. Let me know what you think of the updated Cortez.
