I am sort of iffy about the whole 6Rings. I like the fact that it looks allot like the AJ11′s (the very same that will release this December as part of the Countdown Pack) but then it sort of goes down hill from there. This colorway looks good though. It just goes to show you that a sneaker (or shoe) can look totally different in another color. Pics from KixandtheCity as seen via The Shoe Game.com

The year of the Hybrid continues into 2009 as Nike fuses a few sneakers from the Air Penny line. Why its called 1/2 Penny i don’t know, but its cute. I guess its not a full Penny sneaker but its made up of other sneakers sooooo…. I’m thinking too much about that.
See more pictures on The Shoe Game.com I think this is a very cool looking sneaker. Can’t wait to see more shots!!!
I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

OK. Lets take another look at this shall we? When I first saw this sneaker, I thought to myself, “What in the blue, red, orange and white hell is this?” Now that I have gotten te back info on why the sneaker looks like it does I have the say, “What in the blue, red/orange and white/black hell is this?”

(thanks to nicekicks and opium)
I like… No, I love the idea of mixing art and sneakers. I plan on doing something really special for Sneakers and Shoes for 2009 and beyond when it comes to art and… what do you call those guys who work on shoes?
Anyway, the Air Jordan 7 has a unique colorway that is based off of the art of Milo. the connection is that Micheal Jordan was wearing the 7′s when he won Olympic Gold in Barcelona Spain of which is where Milo is based. Oh and the artist himself pass away a few months before the Olympics started.
Take a look at this:

Yes… you see it right, you are not dreaming
You see? That is Woman and Bird by Milo. Looks familiar? The AJ7 practically looks like the artwork.
With all the info above in mind and me really loving the idea behind the sneaker, I still feel like this: (more…)

Looks like British Knights are back. I have always wanted a pair back in the day, but I doubt I would buy a pair to add to my collection now. I’m not too excited about the new shoes but I hope their is a great future. I see them being a small brand and being very boutique. I think that would be cool.
Here are some of the sneakers available on Dr. Jays:

Metro Lo for 80 Bucks (looks a little like the Nike Notebook Pack)

Kings SL Mid for 80 Bucks

Supreme Hi Strap for 10 Bucks (it comes in large sizes so I guess its for guys)
Dr Jays (as usual) has hook ups for most products it has online.The most interesting related items are the ones for the Supreme Hi Strap (aka the purple/pink ones). You can get a nice New Era hat (well, it matches) and a cool t-shirt from Miskeen.
The shoes aint nothin without the BK button… British Knights, I said British Knights! LMAO

From Nicekicks.com
Nicekicks was their and all I can say is that I wish I remembered that this was going down. I would have went and took a few pictures of my own. Anyway, unless for some reason you don’t go to Nicekicks on the daily like I do, you probably saw all the pictures. Nike represents, but adidas is also represented (as well as Superman lol)
One thing I have to say is, why is Nicekicks being stingy? Let all of us have that wallpaper:

1280×1024 and 1024×768 (I think its 768) please lol.
EDIT
Complex interviews Team USA (with video). Check it out.

You know, I wasn’t as into the sneaker when the info first came out about it, but I have to admit I am swayed by the history and the picture above. Now if Nike would use some of Jezign technology to light up the midsole, then we would have a sneaker lol But you know what: (more…)

This thing just looks cool. By the way, in case you don’t know, lime green (or green in general) is the new black lol. I’m telling you right now that green will be the color for the summer (or at least the end of the summer cause it is still underground right now).
So anyway these sneakers right here are just smooth. This is part of the Air Force One 1 World series of sneakers that are supposed to represent different areas of the world.
If you want to see more shots (and I know you have to want to see more pictures) you should head over to Nicekicks.com to see them.

I think those are Nike sandals on his feet but I am not sure. If they are, why is he wearing socks? lol Shot taken during the BET Awards.
