Nike X DJ AM - Limited Edition Dunks | Release TBD

2009-09-10T18:48:00.002-04:00

Since DJ AM passed, not only had the we lost one of the most respected figures in music but also a fellow sneakerhead. And, now, according to TMZ, a pair of limited edition Dunks that were created by a collaborative partnership between Nike and DJ AM. As a rep from Nike related, DJ AM had been working closely with Nike on a line of limited edition Dunks that has his own logo emblazoned on them. The design was already completed and approved by DJ AM but the label is putting the shoes on hold because they are smoothing some release details and kinks with his family to figure out the “next step in terms of release”. Hopefully everything will be sorted out soon because we can’t wait to check out the collaborative work between Nike and the late DJ AM. Via Freshness Mag.

COMPLEX-BEST NIKE DUNKS OF ALL TIME!!!

2009-09-04T11:00:00.004-04:00

Nike Sportswear - Air Max 90 Moire - Electric Green - Spring 2010

2009-09-03T10:19:00.002-04:00

This hybrid fuses the element of the Air Zoom Moire, which brought Nike+ innovation and a one-piece design to the upper, with the Air Max 90’s classic outline. An amazing, pixilated series of dots looks like an impressionistic piece of contemporary art. The effect is achieved with the use of two sizes of embossed dots, and even the plastic pieces that usually festoon the lace area, the heel, and above the air bubble has been replaced with embossing into the lightweight fabric. Electric green is featured on the sole near the air bubble and swoosh, and what looks like marine blue appears as a nice accent in the lining. This shoe releases in February 2010. Via Freshness Mag.

Reebok - Pump Court Victory II - Miami Vice

2009-09-03T10:00:00.003-04:00

Apart from the obvious Pump technology, this Pump Court Victory II features Playdry lining which keep the inside of the shoes dry improving comfort for the wearer. This special version takes influence from one of 80’s popular police action drama Miami Vice and takes elements from Florida’s sunny atmosphere. The white base color is perhaps a reflection of the white suits donned by the main characters with blue details depicting the blue sky and ocean. Splash of pink is thrown into the mix to add tropical flavor and the flamingo emblem on the heel resembles the flamboyant Miami lifestyle. Via: Freshness Mag.

Flashbak HighLite: HUMOR

2009-08-30T17:41:00.003-04:00

With a penchant for comical quirky knitted prints, bold graphic tees and unique pant silhouettes, the look is fresh, irreverent and could be described as a slightly more toned down version of singer MIA’s personal style. Loud, brash with a kaleidoscope of texture, these clothes make statements and are not for the faint-hearted wall flower! It seems that the consumer is embracing the brand as well, with key stores like Size?, American Retro and Choices stocking the brand and fashion website OKI NI selling out online. Having expanded the range to include accessories and footwear and HUMöR about to be stocked in Topman in Oxford Circus, it’s a matter of time before this brand takes it to the next level. – Kate Vandermeer Via: The Cool Hunter

2009-08-29T22:57:00.004-04:00

If this color scheme looks familiar, you have probably already seen it on the Air Trainer III model that dropped back in April.

This Air Huarache flaunts one of its all-time boldest looks courtesy of a Light Charcoal/Dark Obsidian upper that is contrasted by some bright Volt accents. As if that wasn’t enough, the shoe also sports a wild multi-colored pattern on the leather mid-section of the upper.

Rollasoles - flat shoes sold in vending machines - offer relief to stiletto-clad clubbers

As I was surfing the net for new sneakers , I fell upon this wild and crazy post. A MUST READ!!

Five-inch stiletto heels may look hot in a club. But after you’ve been standing in them - or worse dancing on them - for hours ... not so much. A British company has come up with a possible fashion compromise. Twenty-seven-year-old entrepreneur Matt Horan of Bristol brainstormed “Rollasoles,” a kind of ballet flat available at vending machines found in various bars and pubs in the U.K. The cute metallic-hued shoes can be easily balled up to fit in a handbag. The comfortable flats go for 5 pounds (just over 8 American dollars), and can greatly ease that hard trip home. Horan told England’s Daily Mail that he came up with the notion after watching his girlfriend try to stagger home on sky-high heels, often resulting in him having to give her a piggyback ride. Rollasole hasn't rolled out on these shores yet, but if you just can't wait, international shipping is offered at http://www.rollasole.com/.

A large Nike insignia on the heel tab in the coordinating red helps complete the package. Set to release in the coming months at Nike Sportswear retailers. Thanks FreshNess Mag.

Nike Air Force Dunk SB - Ms. Pacman

2009-08-25T11:17:00.003-04:00

Just typing Nike Air Force Dunk SB makes me cringe a little, but it is DJ Clark Kent so I will give him all his props. The sneakers are a one of one most likely so they get all of their due and this only further cements DJCK as the sneaker god we all know he is; however, I must say that to call is an SB still is absurd. With the Air Force 1 sole you would lose a lot of grip and board feel so the sneaker is no longer skate ready. Either way it is still a clean sneaker. What do you guys think of the Nike Air Force Dunk SB craze that DJCK maybe be leading?

This pack will become available at select retailers such as Atmos soon.

Warrior Footwear - Team Basketball

2009-08-23T22:47:00.003-04:00

Warrior Footwear

started out in the streets of Shanghai in the 1930s, born out of a temporal peace followed by lengthened turmoil. The shoes became a cultural icon and staple in its own right, as its lightweight material was suitable for the masses, convenient for work of all walks of life. However, like the societal, cultural and political climate, the shoes went through its own obstacles when the Chinese market opened up for western sneakers. In the 90s, Warrior Footwear was relegated to the shoes of laborers and the elderly. In 2008, Warrior Footwear treaded its way overseas with two American students who were interning in Shanghai, and started to establish itself as a new brand and shoe in its own right– its greatest attraction being he communal versatility. Unisex, ageless and timeless, these simple kicks compliment any wardrobe and morphs to fit the style of its wearer. With Warrior Footwear, one will wear the shoes and never have to worry about getting worn by them. Just arrived at ALIFE Rivington Club and flying out of the store in pairs and bounds is the black Team Basketball with Warrior’s signature stripes in red. The toe cap and sole are kept clean in black and the soles have a textured treatment for an interesting touch. Check them out at ALIFE, and don’t worry– with the right size, these shoes will fit everyone.

New Looks From Common Projects

2009-08-23T22:16:00.003-04:00

With inspiration from classic tennis sneakers Common Projects is taking ground at the high end of the sneaker segement. The brand originates out of Italy and New York, manufactured by hand at one of the best factories in Italy (side by side with sneakers for Lanvin and Dior according to the hearsay!) and worn by everybody with a taste for clean kicks in nothing but top materials. A nice feature of Common Projects is the serial number and size indication, individualy printed in gold, on the outside of the heel.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - Anthracite / Black - Hot Red

2009-08-21T19:28:00.002-04:00

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 originally debuted back in 1996 as The Kid (Ken Griffey Jr.) was making a name for himself on the Seattle Mariners. Many sneakerheads patiently awaited for a retro release and their wish was granted earlier this year with the much anticipated releases of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - Fresh Water and Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - Varsity Royal Blue / Volt. During Ken Griffey’s career, the slugger also played for other teams including the Cincinnati Reds. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - Anthracite / Black - Hot Red is inspired by the Cincinnati Reds colorway. Even though Griffey Jr’s performance while playing for the Reds was hampered by injuries, these kicks will likely be scooped up with quickness when they drop this weekend at Footactions nationwide.

Married To The Mob presents the first part of their Fall 2009 Collection, this time featuring Teyana Taylor. The lookbook looks great and we feel like the brand made a huge step in the right direction concerning their cut-and-sew. Until now we always liked their t-shirts, fleece pieces and accessories, but now the cut-and-sew also feels very round. Look out for a release of the first drop soon. After the jump a complete look at the Married To The Mob Fall 2009 Lookbook.
