Nike SB Zoom Bruin – Green Leaf – White

Loving the Nike SB Zoom Bruin for keeping it clean and simple. These being called the green leaf for obvious reasons still give a classic look but definitely stand out with the choice of color NIke decided to use. These should already be available at select Nike SB shops now!

Air Jordan 1 AJKO Retro – White – Varsity Red – Black

We saw line sheet sketches of these around Oct of last year and definitely could not wait to see close ups. Even though we have been getting flooded with Retro 1's over the past 4yrs + now these are the AJKO's. For those of you that aren't familiar with these they were real popular back in the day before the slue of Jordan 1 colors back in the 80's. They stayed true to the canvas/leather materials that were used back in the day with the exception of the "vintage" look on the midsole and hint of Jordan Jumpman logos on them. We are still on the fence weather or not we like the whole "Instant Vintage" look Nike has used on their early retros...i.e. outsole, midsole effect. Let us know what you think!










Air Jordan Retro XI (11) 25th Anniversary White Silver Collection Detailed Look

No official word just yet if these are even going to be a US release at the moment but nevertheless still a clean shoe. This is a adult size very different from the GS size we reported on a while ago. Even though some of the pictures show this Jordan with a "blue" outsole it is actually clear. This particular pair shown is also missing the Jumpman logo in the rear. No word on if that will be subject to change either. Time will tell soon. Stay tuned.





Air Jordan Retro VI (6) Black White Detailed Look

Are you all keeping track with all these Jordan 6 releases? If not don't worry because we got you covered. Keep in mind that the {Black/Varsity Red} will release this month on the 23rd, {Motosport 6's} on Feb 6th, and now the Black/White "Oreo" sometime in March. Keep it locked!

Nike Dunk High Premium x DJ AM and Nike Air Force 1 Low x DJ Premier Serato Package Details and Release Info


If you are lucky to get a hold of the package let us know. Send pics to SoleSurvivorDetroit@gmail.com
Read below for detailed info provided to us by KATC.com. Thanks @Maze1er.



Nike Sportswear offered these unique individuals, DJ AM and DJ Premier, a chance to share the spirit of athletics and rivalry through design. When it came to electing two music industry leaders from the East and West coasts, these innovators whose infatuation with their craft has not only created a culture, but also moved that culture with the sound that emanates from their turntables. DJ Premier from the East, and DJ AM from the West were chosen and now present to you the outcome of this design battle.



Representing the EAST: DJ Premier

When it comes to the East Coast and legendary hip hop producers, DJ Premier will be named their turntable king. Adopting Brooklyn as his home, DJ Premier chose this icon of East Coast culture to represent his presence in the design challenge that was placed before him. Signature East Coast style, the Air Force 1 has been revered on the streets as not only a staple, but also as a name of respect in the city boroughs. Nike Sportswear Design Director Jesse Leyva worked with Premier on this shoe and he mentioned that, "Premo wanted to put his name somewhere on the shoe, but not in a loud way." This was accomplished with a subtle laser on the back heels. Using the palette of NYC as his inspiration, DJ Premier colored up his AF1 in black, forest green, and white to represent the current styles of his city.

Representing the WEST: DJ AM

It is no secret that DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, was not only obsessed with sneaker culture, but was also infatuated with one of the most celebrated of Nike Sportswear icons, the Nike Dunk. Coupled with his love of the brand and his affection for the Dunk, DJ AM rendered a classic in the most traditional form. Leyva said, "It's crazy to think we hadn't yet worked with DJ AM." Taking inspiration from old school Air Jordan colorways and his massive collection of sneakers, DJ AM brings you the Dunk rendered in red, black, and gray. DJ AM’s passion for deejaying would only result in a shoe that has numerous references to his craft. Dot detailing on the back heel of the shoe represents the flashing lights only a DJ can see reflecting from spinning turntables. The black and grey colorway is a hint to the materials he used to ignite a dance floor. With the color red as the base, his DJ AM logo is embossed on the tongue tab of the shoe as the final detail.

The Nike Dunk Hi x DJ AM and Nike AF1 x DJ Premier will be available worldwide on Saturday, January 9th 2009. Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer will host a launch event on January 7th, and Nike Sportswear at The Montalban will host a launch event on January 9th. Exclusively at these events, the AM and Premier footwear will be enclosed in a custom two-pack box, paired with Serrato vinyl that hooks back to the colors of each DJ's shoe. 100% of the proceeds from these launches will benefit the DJ AM Memorial Fund. Stay tuned for more event details.

Nike Air Max 90 Retro Infrared 2010 Release

Nike brings back a classic colorway...again! LOL. The reason I say that is because this shoe in this color must have been released about 4 or 5 times within the last 6yrs. I personally can't wait for them to drop again this summer/fall of this year! Classic shoe in an amazing colorway!
