Nike Air Max 95 Neon Yellow Aisa Exclusive

While I personally own a few pair of Air Max 95 from back in the day we finally see a color that has never been re-released like the neon yellow. While the U.S. got a neon that was more of a green looking color than the yellow pictures below.

The Air Max below are only available as Asia exclusives right now. So unless you got the hook up or will be fishing around on ebay soon and more than likely pay over retail then good luck. Unlike the ones that re-released in the U.S. these have a darker shade of gray and yellow....not neon green. Such a comfortable shoe no matter what color.





Nike 1/2 (Half) Cent Air Penny Hybrid

You all should know by now if you have been checking the blog or have picked up the latest Sole Collector (which I will be post a video review on soon) magazine with these in there. Many sneaker heads are awaiting for the March release. Big ups to Vault for supplying the pics.









Kobe Bryant Nike Zoom Kobe IV Ankle Insurance Commercial Part 2

Not as long as part 1 but still pretty cool. If you have not checked out the first video then look to the right of the page on "Kobe Bryant." Peace

A Tribe Called Quest Air Jordan 1 High Strap (Detailed)

As we get close to the release I want to know what you all think about these. The more pictures that start to surface I am finding myself unsure of the final execution with these. I love the concept of the collaboration that Jordan Brand did with one of my favorite groups but man. Either way, here are some other pics...

Nike Womens Dunk High - Yellow / White / Silver

I just can't say it enough. The ladies continue to get the fly colors in the shoes this year. While the almost remind me of this Big Bird effect, they look really dope. Love the white front and silver swoosh with the splash of yellow. Available at select accounts now. Keep you eyes peeled.





Nike Air Trainer III (3) - Black / Max / Orange

They have already dropped overseas and no word yet on the release to the states. All my trainer lovers get ready. Another fly color from Nike coming soon....

Nike Air Force 1 White/Pink/ Ice GS (Grade School)

Might have to put the Valentine Day Retro 1 on hold to grab my daughter a pair of these. Hopefully coming to retail very soon low top patent leather pink/white with a icy bottom. I "heart" Nike on the sole design is tight. I know that these will be a eye catcher but if you are grabbing a pair for the little on or even the lady if she has small enough feet, expect them to crack/crease like crazy with the patent leather. Still fly though!!

Nike Air Force 1 - Black History Month

Nike doing is again with their limited edition Nike Air Force 1 Black History Month shoe. Unlike last year where pairs were extremely limited these may be available at more Nike accounts. Hoping that we get some love here in the D with them. If not then happy bidding on Ebay if you are looking to snag a pair. Greens, Red, and black premium leathers used on this one with a heel design and special tongue with logo. It comes with a black bag this year unlike last years that came in a wooden box and straw. The bag reads.....
“100 years came and another 100 past
little did they know, nothing would forever last
the land they knew stood for “liberty and justice for all”
however, “we the people” didn’t include them at all
words on paper held no weight
it was time for judicial battle at the mahogany gate
they moved left and then shifted right
they fought for freedom keeping equality in sight
laws were challenged and changes were made
giving us the right to make the grade
thanks to those who fought the fight
moving the darkness and bringing light”


Nike Dunk High (Lance Armstrong)

From what I hear Nike and Lance Armstrong are going to team up again bringing us the Dunk high. From the blurry picture it really does not look like much but a "Nike ID" design with some laser print on the mid panel near the swoosh. More pictures as I get more info but really diggin the black/yellow combination.

Jordan Brand 2009 Fall Preview...

Not looking too promising for Jordan Brand this year. They seem to be lacking originality this go round. The combination of fusions, and mixtures of past with present shoes is starting to get old. While some concepts I respect, other lack the execution. Especially the ones previewed in this picture.

Follow up to Nike Fall/Winter Previews.....

About to be another cold winter.....HAHAHA






Nike Zoom LeBron James VI Taxi Cab NYC Part II

This Lebron colorway reminds me of that nasty Adidas Kobe 1 that they came out with back in the day. Banana style...LOL. This pair will wrap up the "Tale of 3 Cities" pack for Lebron. No release dates yet but it is expected to drop at select Nike accounts closer towards Feb when the Cavs face the Knicks. Stay Tunned.......

Nike WMNS Air Max 1 White / Purple / Lilac / Multicolor

The ladies are getting hooked up again this year with the funky fresh colors. The white mesh toebox is always a good look to prevent major creases in the shoes but hard to keep clean. (Watch Ya Step) Nice premium leather used along with purple patent along the heel and near the laces. Multicolor fabric design on the inside to make it unique. Ladies go out and get cha some.....




Nike WMNS Air Max 90 Classic White/Black.Green

Ladies, when summer comes get ready! These Air Max 90's are crispy clean. This particular color is only available in Europe as of now but will hit the states soon. Like the black polka dots they added for that extra POP! $95 or so should be retail unless they jack it to $120 which is also possible.




Nike Zoom MVP - Steve Nash Player Exclusive (PE)

It might just be me but amongst all the fly kicks coming out this year I am really on this Basketball kick lately. Nike is really stepping their game up this year on what's available for every position if you hoop. Below they drop the Steve Nash Player Exclusive to the retail market in the official Phoenix Suns jersey colorway. Nice attention to detail with adding the "SN" logo on the heel of the shoe as well. Should be hitting retailer withing the next week.

Similar to the Kobe it incorporates the low cut style shoe with combination of leathers and very breathable mesh materials. Not only does the color stand out but the way the sole was developed for quick traction and lateral movement. Almost might have to hang back until I am able to try on both the Kobe and Nash to compare the two. I want to start hooping again so I will need some court shoes soon. The OG flightposites that I have been rocking indoors for the last 5 years are soon to hit retirement.




Air Jordan Retro 1 High Strap Sole to Sole Pic

Jordan Brand is taking the collaboration theme to a whole other level. In Feb they will put out the Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Marauders" album cover inspired Retro 1 Hi Strap. I am not a big fan at all with the strap being placed on the shoe but that's Jordan Brand for ya. They have to keep it somewhat different from other drops.

The shoe has a black midsole with contrast green stitching and a red sole. The upper is composed of black leather along with a fabric toebox, tongue and side panel. They only want $110 for them and they will go fast. Exact date coming soon, I also here that one of Detroit's finest sneaker boutiques will in fact carry them once they drop. I left it at Burn Rubber, I left it at Burn Rubber.......Now I gotta get em back!


Reebok Court Victory Pump II Black Neon Hits Retail

Really diggin the throwback 90's color that Reebok put together with these. For all of those who wanted the pump back in the day and now can get it with a little freaked out color. Love it or Hate Reebok has to do something to stay a float. Fly color.
