Nike Zoom Lebron VI Triple Black "Batman"

So this looks like it would be a dope work shoe for me just because of the black on black color. LOL. These are now available through select retailers as of today. I am actually feeling this color in them and like the "Batman" theme they played off this. The premium leather and then topped it off with a black mesh for contrast. Can't ask for a better material match up on a black shoe.





Flashing Sole Box Puma

Curious to see if these actually hit the US market. I would rock em for sure









Nike "Huarache" Air Force 1

I brought you all the update a couple days back on Nike doing these hybrid shoes like crazy for 2009. If you follow the blog daily then you should have peeped the white/white patent color in these that I showed you. If not then click the links on the side and search Air Force 1.

This time Nike is showing us this purple leather with a white swoosh and what is suppose to be black but looks like green suede toe box. That is my only complaint when it comes to a solid black suede like that, if it is not executed properly it looks like butt. Of course you have to love the frosted purple sole with the huarache emblem in the background. Curious to see how much if at all lighter Nike will make these.


Again, this post is for all my Air 1 heads out there. Def make sure ya'll get a pair when they drop and let me know what you think.




Rip Hamilton PE Jordan 23!!

So it appears as if someone took a quick snap shot of RIP player exclusive 23 from the Pistons locker room. I featured Chris Paul wearing a pair very similar to this one. As you can see the nick name "Rip City" is embroidered up top along with the blue highlights in the argyle. Again, Jordan Brand needed to give this color up to the streets. Really dope colorway in this shoe! Don't forget that the blk/red limited edition boys will be released in less than 2 weeks now.

Teek Love the Kids! LOL. Seeing as how I have a daughter of my own I really like this color for her. Lately she has been rocking low top air 1's and all types of different air max. I wanted to get her back into dunks but no good selections for the kids have been coming out.

This dunk little added a strap near the tongue area with a patent leather black/white Dalmation print to make it stand out. Add those purple lace to it and you have a hit for the little ones. They are currently available in stores and retail from $34.99 to $54.99 depending on size.





Nike Spring & Summer 2009 Preview

You may or may not have seen a few of these pop up already on the net. Might be a little late on these but for those of you who didn't get to see this....... 2009 is looking real hot for Nike














Nike Zoom Kobe IV Tech Specs

So here is the detail specs on the new Kobe for all my hoopers out there..... I can't wait to try these on and might even cop a pair to see if they live up to the hype. They are a sure bet to be much lighter than his previous releases.

MID-SOLE
-Nike Zoom Air unit in the heel for the
light-weight and responsive cushioning.
-Full-length Phylon midsole provides
lightweight cushioning and comfort.
-PMC midfoot shank plate for torsional
rigidity during quick cuts and jumps.
-LunarLite foam embedded in the
fore foot offers lightweight cushioning
where you need it most.


OUTSOLE
-Articulated heel crash pad helps provide
better heel-to-toe transition and
easier toe off.
-Solid rubber outsole pattern with a
combination of a herringbone pattern
and a unique design provides non-marking
traction, durability and an aggressive syle.
-An outrigger provides lateral stability for
cutting and jumps.
-Flex grooves allow the shoe to move
naturally with your foot for enhanced
articulation flexibility.
-Nike Zoom Air unit in the heel for the
light-weight and responsive cushioning.
-Full-length Phylon midsole provides
lightweight cushioning and comfort.
-PMC midfoot shank plate for torsional
rigidity during quick cuts and jumps.
-LunarLite foam embedded in the
fore foot offers lightweight cushioning
where you need it most.

Air Max 97 x Blazer PS3 Pack

While I am always been a fan of Air Max 97 these boys are looking just right! Blazers still could use some touching up but it is what it is. Nike also introduced the Blazer with premium leather feel, multi-color lenticular material used in the swoosh and a piece on the side. These are now available for sale and rumor has it we might even see a Wii Package from Nike next year. If you ask me I wouldn't be too surprised. Now I sure some heads will be waiting on a Apple edition color to drop. Just remember you heard it here first! LOL









Adidas Originals Forum Mid Double Goose

Like I told ya'll before on the last updates, Adidas concepts are starting to all come together. This is inspired by the late 80's Goose down leather coats. They incorporate premium leather with a hint of suede to accent the shoe and give it that much more of a cleaner look. Black Leather button strap which I think is in fact removable. Please don't forget the gum sole baby!! Nice. These should be available at select boutiques now. Retail is around $95 buck I believe.






Chris Paul PE White/Red XXIII's

Well.....all I can say is that JB needs to stop playing and drop this color for the streets. I would def have to grab a pair just off the strength that these boys are a vibrant red with white patent leather. Yes I know that patent leather creases just like any other type of leather but they sure are easy to keep clean and free or scuffs. Oh yeah, let's not forget how dope that red sole is looking! FIRE!!!


Nike Zoom Kobe IV ESPN Interview

So this went up yesterday on ESPN. Have not really been impressed with some of the actual comfort that came from Kobe past shoes. Hyper Dunk was pretty light but I don't consider that his signature shoe seeing as how half the league is rocking them. These seem to be pretty promising from looking at the aesthetics of the shoe. Check the interview below and I will give you the breakdown on the next one.

Nike Dunk Low Winter Pack Brown/White


So I am going to call these"Swiss Miss" with Marshmallows! These are going to be apart of Nike winter pack line up for the dunks series. As most of you know I am not a big fan of a white sole just off the strength that white soles eventually turn funk nasty and can never be cleaned right. However, this color combo is put together quite nicely! Mixture of premium brown leather and suede with a trim out white swoosh make a good looking dunk. Nice and clean, nothing too crazy!!

LA Gear Comeback???

So when do we keep the past the past? I mean I am down with bringing back classic shoes but come on now. To me, this is like dropping the Akeem Olajuwan retro...HAHAHAHA! No disrespect to those of you who think these are fly but if I catch you with em, then prepared to get clowned....PERIOD!

This was released back in 88-89 as a part of La Gear "Unstoppable" series. From what I hear they are available on the west coast and will make their way into stores early next month. Again.....Boo Boo. Peep the terrible advertisement from back in the day.
