Nike Air Max 1 Honeycomb Blue Spark

When it comes to making a color title "pop" Nike has to take it hands down every time! HA. These Air Max 1's are a honeycomb yellow with "blue spark" outsole. The upper is constructed of a canvas and suede mix sitting on a all white outsole. These are available at select Nike accounts now. Very dope for spring/summer line up.


Air Jordan Retro VII (7) Orion Blue Drops

So did you cop your Orion Blue Jordan 7's this past Sat? Or are you waiting for more 7 madness in the next few weeks? We personally decided to past on these dude to the yellow midsole on the majority of the pairs that got released here in the D. Don't get us wrong, we were actually impressed by the color itself once we saw it in person but the quality of where the midsole should be white had a tint of yellow instead. We are normally use to seeing some quality control issues on Jordan's but these we have to say were quite bad. For those of you that did grab a pair how do yours look? Send us pics to SoleSurvivorDetroit@gmail.com and let us know!

Jordan CMFT Max Air 10 Candy Pack

So we saw the Jordan Retro 2 release last year in Oct with it's own version of the candy pack...now we see the comfort 10 get it's shine. Releasing on April 9th just in time for Easter, Jordan will release all 3 colors to the public. What are your thoughts on the continued "candy pack" idea? It seems like to us they release this type of concept either on or near a holiday where candy seem to be involved. HA. Let us know what you think!



NIKE ZOOM KOBE VI WHITE/CHLORINE-ORION BLUE

We kept trying to tell people that the Kobe 6 is killing it right when it comes to basketball sneakers. This color inspiration was taken from the Hornets-esque colorways but not technically the "draft day" sneaker as some would put it. The sneaker will release on May 26th for $130. Just yet another color to add to the Kobe 6 arsenal. Thoughts?

Bring back some old school heat in a new colorway from it's original that we are used to seeing is the Wolf/Grey/white/red. These kicks will hit footlocker locations within the next 30 days and be available for online sales as well. If you are a fan of the Barkley's you can't let this one slip out of your collection.





Nike Blazer Mid AB TZ

So we all have seen some pretty crazy things Nike has done with the blazer in the past. Now, we get hit with this exclusive premium obsidian leather blazer with an safety color orange zipper on the side. Add the obsidian blue wax laces and you have one quality built sneaker. Again, these will only be released at Nike tier zero accounts come sometime this spring. Start making some phone calls if you are diggin em.

Nike Foamposite One Black/Electric Green

You can pretty much say "Game Over" for us over here @SSD if these foamposite 1's hit the streets. Nike knows exactly what to do when they leak images like the ones taken from RMK store overseas. The all black upper with electric green outsole and accents hits definitely make for a good looking shoe. No word yet at all if these will be considered a "Quickstrike" release or GR...stay tuned either way and we will let you know.




JORDAN SKY HIGH RETRO TXT LOW “VARSITY RED” & “WOLF GREY”

Taking a little from our last post around "simple" sneakers, it looks as if Jordan Brand is following right along. The Sky High will now see a low top version of the shoe next month sometime on April for around $75. Canvas upper followed by a leather toe cap makes for a pretty clean looking causal kicker. Add the classic Jumpman logo on near the heel area to make sure people don't get it twisted. Thoughts around the Shy High low?


Nike Coast Classic – Spring 2011 Colorway

Start to look for something more simpler in life as some sneaker heads would put it. After the crazy release of the Nike Toki they decided to stick with the "boat" shoe idea that will hit accounts soon. All canvas upper with simple colors like red, black, with white outsole is perfect for those who want something to lounge in. Retail should not be over $65 for these.


Air Jordan Retro 7 Orion Release Info!

On March 26th for $150 you can own a pair of the retro 7's in this Jordan Brand newly released color. This will be one of the first retro 7's to release this year with plenty more to come. What are your thoughts around the new color added to and OG shoe?


Nike SB Dunk High Liberty

So just in case you don't know too much of the background history behind this "Liberty Dunk" SSD is going to keep you up to speed. The obvious thing about this shoe is the color and the statue of liberty tag near the tongue. What is not so obvious is the fact that the shoes carries what Nike calls "distress leather." As you wear or either skate in these sneakers the green leather starts to turn bronze... this is a cool concept taken from the actual statue of liberty showing off it's age yet still beauty. Peep the video below by skate shop Premier in Michigan.
