So here are some updated pictures from the yesterday post about the "Grape 5" Spizike. Notice the "23" stitched on the side like we spoke about and the 3m hit on the side wings and just below the tongue strip. Icy sole to top it off and I think we have a winner! Get ready for the year of the Spizike/Mike.

Bodega x adidas Boston Super – ‘Your City’ Collection

It almost seems like Adidas is doing more collaborations with sneaker boutiques than any other brand. This time around we feature Boston best Bodega x Adidas Boston Super "Your City" collection. Grey/white/black with a gum sole to top off this shoe, I love the blue with with contrast stitch in them. Come on Adidas...you all need to do a Burn Rubber or a Motivation collaboration sneaker for Detroit...just my thoughts.








Air Jordan Retro 6 (Wht/Red) Jordan Spizike (Grape 5)

So here is the thing....I don't want you all to say that I told you all but...I TOLD YOU SO! LOL. So these pictures started floating around 2 days ago on the web just was not able to post until today. First picture is of the "Grape Jordan 5" inspired Spizike. The thing that you can not see from the pictures is the number "23" embrioded on the the side panel just like the Jordan 5 has. 2010 will be a huge year for the Jordan Spizike and just know that there will be a color combo out there for everyone.

Jordan Brand is going to be making real subtle adjustments to the Spizike for next year so be on the look out for at least several different styles.

So last but certainly not least we see the Air Jordan Retro 6 come back in the Wht/Team Red color. Again...I say "Team Red" is the color that they will be using for the first joint. Later in the Spring/Summer 2010 we will see Jordan release the Wht/Infrared and Black/Infrared in a package together!!! Yeah I said it...and remember where you heard it first!

All I can say is that if you have not started saving already then you are losing a slow race! LOL. If you thought Jordan Brand was letting you down then 2010 will make you change you perspective on them. Trust me on this one!!!! Leave comments....

Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art

So artist Krupky totally went nutty on this one and completely took the years most sought out shoe and turned it into true artwork. This is the Kanye West Air Yeezy stripped down and transformed into a airplane model for the Doernbecher freestyle collection. Take a look at the detail like the uppers serve as wings, soles as the cabin and the laceholders even look like jet afterburners. Really cool part is the stand itself lights up just like the glow in the dark sole on the shoe. All proceeds from whoever is the highest bidder will go to the Doernbecher children's hospital. Comments???








Converse Skateboarding – CONS CTS + Pro Leather

It's not a huge surprise that Converse would roll in the direction of a skate line seeing as how Nike does own their company. Very similar to NIke SB we will see Converse release CON CTS+Pro Leather versions holiday 2009. 3 quarter cut and low top edition make for some pretty good skate shoes and not to mention the padded tongues help for support. The grey joints are on point! Be on the lookout for them within the next 30 to 45 days.

AIr Jordan Fusion 13

Ok..ok...before you start cracking jokes let me tell you that Fusion still happen to be the biggest selling sneaker right now next 2 Jordan retro line that they release. (Ok...now let the jokes roll in) LOL. They almost hit every detail matching up the Jordan 13 by using the "Pop Tart" mid panel, hologram Jumpman with 23 in the back, etc. If you think these are bad, just wait till those Fusion 8's hit the streets. Oh Goodness.....Leave comments.










Air Jordan Retro 1 Holiday 2009 Release

Don't know how many times I have to keep telling you all the Jordan Retro 1's won't stop! LOL. Consider them the Nike version of the Dunk. Either way this holiday season will have Retro 1 headz cashing out on yet another slick color scheme/design for winter. I like the whole patent leather materials and even can respect the "Jordan 23" inspired woven material used on the red/blue pair. As we move in 2010 you will definitely see more of the Jordan 1 with that same type of pattern stitched in the mid panel of the shoe . Remember where you heard it first!

Air Jordan Retro 1 "Leroy Smith" Edition Release Date

If you have not already heard "The Leroy Smith" a.k.a. The Real Michael Jordan will be releasing his own Jordan Retro 1 on Oct 31st. These will be a quick strike release and should be available at Burn Rubber if you are in Detroit. Remember...when Nike/Jordan Brand releases quick strikes it means quantities are going to be extremely limited. These are not for everybody but if you have seen any of the Leroy Smith videos you would know that this crazy color combo works!
