LiveStrong Nike Shox M2+LAF

Nike and Lance Armstrong come together again putting another collaboration with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. 100% of the sales will go directly to the Foundation and they will retail for about $115. Not too bad at all for what you are getting out of the shoe and the good cause where the $$ goes. The white pair is for the ladies and the black is being released for the fellas. Check your local Finishline/Footlocker for a pair of these now if interested.







Nike Dunk High East vs. West (DJ Clark Kent & Eddie Cruz)

It's been confirmed by DJ Clark Kent that this was not a official collaboration just more like 2 dudes giving their own input on shoes for their Coast. Clark Kent obviously had some say in just the "East" Gucci inspired color dunk. Eddie Cruz went in pretty tough him damn self with using that cool blue and scales on a dunk. Please pay attention to the details on that West shoe....so sick! I know that some people would have def preferred the Gucci color to be flat black instead of the ostrich material used. Get ready for this winter when we can expect to drop!!










Air Max 90- Yellow Crocodile Samples!@!

WOW!!! These are super loud but I kinda like em! Classic Air Max 90 given the Yellow patent leather crocodile treatment this go round. Right now these are just samples and no word on if they will even hit shelves anywhere soon. Keep your eyes peeled though because they are starting some conversation on the boards.





Air Jordan VII 60+Pack (Bulls vs. Magic)

So let me stat by just saying this about some of these "Re Retro" package releases that have been coming out. To me...they have been coming up pretty short with almost making these packs worth while. Not to discourage anybody out there that might/will cop these when they drop late Aug but man! Quality is an obvious thing that sneaker heads constantly talk about and with these pictures I am noticing quality issue all around. LOL...


So I will start with that upper near the ankle support portion of the shoe. Edges look too sharp and not formed enough to the shoe like the retro versions that dropped back in 03. I am glad however JB decided to make the pinstripe colors a little less hideous from earlier pictures that were released last year! Notice on the white pair they added the "Cracked blk/blue" print along the side of the shoe. Has potential but still seems like it's lacking. The black shoes looks too smokey and that red/purple accents on the side are madd glossy! I will do a side by side comparison as soon as we can get our hand on a pair! Stay tuned and I hope I didn't turn anybody off! HAHAHA. Ya'll should know how we get down.

P.S. I am really waiting to see how that box looks that the shoes are sitting on. Hopefully that is dope:)


Nike HyperDunk Eggplant

Like I said before...when Nike is successful with a particular color in a shoe no matter if it was a totally different shoe in the line up, they run with it big time. This color inspired by the Egg Plant Foamposite that released earlier this year! No word yet on if they are going to be a HOH (House of Hoops) release or what. Thoughts??????



NIke Womens Exotic Splatter Pack@!@!

Ladies back at it again for ya'll. Nike hitting ya'll around the August time frame for the Womens Exotic Splatter Pack that Features the Air Dig, Air Max 95, and Nike Blazer. Pal/china rose/mahogany in alliance with sparkling materials set each and every one of these kicks off and make them POP for sure. I know that these will grace a few ladies feet here in the D so get ready. Expect quantities to be limited once they drop. $78 for both the Air Dig and the Blazer, $95 for the Air Max 95. I really wish Nike would have just gave the ladies the full air unit on that 95 but hey....it is what it is! Enjoy.....

Air Jordan 1 Phat Low- Curry/White

Much different from the sample pictures we have been posting this version has already released overseas. No official word yet on if these will be released here in the U.S. yet. You know I will keep you posted if they do! I want them already.

Air Jordan Spizike Black/Varsity Red

Even more of a closer look as to what we all can look forward to in Feb. I think these will be a def cop! Once we get a detailed look I will post for ya'll.



Air Jordan Retro 1 Hall of Fame (HOF) Pack

The retro 1 is the last installment of the 3 shoes graced to get the Hall of Fame treatment. These along with the Six Rings, and the Air Jordan 2009 will all be exclusives and more than likely be available only at the HOH (House of Hoops)for purchase. The HOF Air Jordan Retro 1 features JB's HOF motif with a Black patent leather/Black leather upper and Red and Gold accents. The HOF Air Jordan Retro 1 also features the Hall of Fame print of numbers that represent significant pieces and milestones from Michael Jordan's career.

Air Jordan Retro 1 High Metallic White/Red

So a follow up from yesterday when we showed you the white/metallic green and now we present the white/red color. Rumored last year to be apart of some package (When actually sold separately) will release the on July 4th along side of the green joints. Just like the samples that have been floating around earlier this year these will not feature the multicolored liner either. Personally I like the final version (pictured) better than earlier samples. Wht/Red or Wht/Green.....decisions decisions!

Air Jordan Retro 1 High Metallic White/Green

More of a close up picture of the retro 1's that will be released on July 4th. As you can see from the updated pictures they do not have the multicolor liner like the samples that we previewed a while back. They are going to retail for $105 which is not a bad price point at all. These are about as close to the classic version of the 1's that we will see. Stay tuned for a video review on these coming soon from the good people at SoleSurvivor Detroit. Bang Bang!




Jordan Cement Spizike Leak (Picture)

These will be a pretty cool opportunity for those of you all who missed the Black/REd/White color of the Spizikes when they first dropped. I will still have to see these in person but don't look too bad at all from the leaked picture. Keep in mind that these are suppose to come out sometime in Feb of 2010...so we have time for JB to fine tune these and switch them up at the last moment. I think they do this on purpose for the streets to get advice on what the need to improve on before releasing the shoe. Maybe that's just me.....

Futura x Nike Air Force 1 – Spring 2010

Look at these colors coming from one of the streets favorite artists right back at it again. Netrual Grey and white low top and grab some white/orange...oh baby! Get ready for next year because the Air 1 Low top game is looking pretty mean. And I don't even rock Air 1's at all. LOL


Nike Zoom Kobe IV Draft Day- Correction!

Nike has already released the Kobe IV this past weekend with the wrong date on the back of the kicks. The pair in the first picture is what Nike originally put out to the streets then Nike confirmed that they are dropping another batch of the fixed versions with the right dates. The first picture displays 6/11/96 and should reflect 6/26/96 as the date Kobe got drafted. If you are able to grab a pair with the incorrect date they may be worth some $$$ later on down the line.


Jim Jones again on Kicks!

Why does Jim Jones look like he stays blunted??? He is going so hard at attacking the Yeezy's...what's wrong Jimmy?? Nobody wants to make a show with you? How odd....yeah right! Nice Nike Air Structures though. Just continue to despise that white sole...ugghhhh! LOL. Check the very end of the vid.

Nike Air Max 90 Current x Air Huarache

Not enough for them to take a classic like the Air Max 90 and combine it with a presto and Free Sole. Now we see Nike take things a step further and add that nice Nike Huarache feel to the tongue of the shoe. Very nice selection for a lightweight Hybrid. This is the way a comfortable, good looking hybrid is suppose to look like! Expect these to drop in multiple colorways throughout the year!!
