Dunk Low CL Brown/Pink and Black/Electrolime

April 30, 2009

So I’ve always been a little on the fence about Dunks and I wasn’t sure why. After looking at these pretty tight Dunk Low CL’s in baroque brown/pink-white and black/electorlime-white I realize that it’s that damn off-color outsole that creeps half way up the white midsole. Both of these have a solid white sole unit [...]

Air Hoop Structure Grey/Metallic Silver-White

April 30, 2009

While Nike does love their hybrids, it is a little less common that we see them fuse a running shoe with a basketball shoe, both retros. (less common. Not impossible.) Well it’s happening this November, as the Nike Air Structure Triax 91 collides with an Air Jordan VI to create the Air Hoop Structure. The [...]

Manny Pacquiao: The Song

April 29, 2009

The Trackrunners “Pound For Pound” Inhouse Records As ideally everyone should know, Saturday May 2nd marks the superfight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight king/Ring Champion Ricky Hatton, arguably the biggest fight of 2009. (until Floyd comes back and, hopefully, fights the winner.) I’m an avid Pac fan, but I’m also a big [...]

Air Toki TZ

April 29, 2009

A couple of months ago Nike dropped a limited release of a very unique new shoe, the Nike Air Zoom Toki Lux, a sort of Vans Chukka-like silhouette in a perforated leather upper. Needless to say it sold quite well. Well next up in the same vein, is the Nike Air Toki Tier Zero. The [...]

Nike Auto Flight High

April 29, 2009

Yet another hybrid is coming out of Beaverton, this one scheduled for a late 2009 release. While I’m not sure if they’re billing this as a fusion, the Nike Auto Flight High takes the upper from an Air Flight Lite High and the sole from the Nike Blazer to create a … slightly different shoe. [...]

Noise Shirts by Nike x Fragment Design

April 28, 2009

I hate writing about anything apparel-related because it’s going to bump the obscene Jeremy Scott Adidas collection off the frontpage, but I guess a week is long enough, even for a collection that stellar. Anyway, this is a collaboration between Nike and Fragment design on a set of pretty slick Nike shirts. The shirt stays [...]

Dropping this Saturday, May 2nd at the Nike Sportswear flagship stores is this really unique, classy kick: the Paule Marrot x Nike Skinny Dunk. The shoe is made in concert with Paule Marrot Editions, the famed French textile designer known for his striking patterns. Here, Nike has placed a Paule Marrot print over the entire [...]

AJ1 Blue Polka Dot Phat Low and High

April 28, 2009

I feel like the Air Jordan 1 must be one of the most released shoes of 2009 so far. There’s like a pair of week at least. Just dropped this weekend, here is the Air Jordan 1 Laser Blue Polka Dot in both a black high and a white Phat Low. I definitely anticipate these [...]

Nike Waffle Racer Vintage

April 27, 2009

I suppose if you’re a sneakerhead, especially one with a Nike fixation, you should have a pair of these. The legendary Nike Waffle Racer is seeing another is dropping yet again, which is significant because this is one of the original Nike styles, with that unmistakable waffle sole and lightweight suede-and-nylon upper. The Nike Waffle [...]

Zoom FP White/White-Black-Electrolime

April 27, 2009

I think I may have neglected to mention the Nike Zoom FP when it first dropped, but the FP stands for “Fun Police” and the shoe is a hybrid of the signature shoes from three of the Fun Police’s charter members: Kevin Garnett (Air Garnett 3), Tim Hardaway (Zoom Flight T Bug) and Jason Kidd [...]
