Hyperdunk AJV from NikeTalk

(wow!!! this is stoooopid hawt)

sweet-jeebus

(its sort of a colorway fusion of 2 sneakers)

(BP, keep those hits coming!!! as seen on NikeTalk)


On Sale: UGG Mar on Eastbay

UGG Mar - Women's

(is Ugg moving on from that dreadful fluffy boot thing?)

Get this at EASTBAY for $49.99 – limited sizes left so hurry!

Yes ladies, i seemed to have totally forgotten about you! Sneaker and shoes isn’t anything without shoes, right? The shoes been lacking for a few months and I probably lost a few of yall, but hey, I am a guy so I tend to post on sneakers (and male shoes on my other blog) but that is about to change. From now on, every day I will post at least one thing on sale for men in sneaker and one thing on sale for women in shoes… that is all depending on if I actually like anything I see that week… so lets change that to once every 3 days instead of every day lol.


Super Sale: Air Jordan Countdown Pack 21 + 2 = Please Buy Me on Eastbay

AJ Countdown Pack 21-2

(hmmmm… those 21 don’t look half bad)

Wow, I new it was one of the worst packs put together, but not that bad. Nevertheless, if you want the whole collection of Jordans, that means you will probably want these. You can’t be the price considering its 100 dollars for each sneaker. Now, yes the AJ2 didn’t originally cost more than 110 if I am not mistaken, but the 21 was in the 150+ range. Bottom line is that this is your chance to get them, so what you waiting for?

On sale for 199.99 at Eastbay!


SneakGeekZ Done It Again!!! Video of the Air Yeezy and Raging Bull Pack

(ok, now its just getting a little scary… how does he do it?)

(and I still don’t like the Air Yeezy colorway)

SneakGeekZ got the video of the Air Yeezy. if you want to see what the limited sneaker looks like in 3D (sort of 3D lol more angles than a picture) then you gotta watch the vid. Plus a little sneaker peak at the Air Jordan V’ Raging Bull Pack.

I swear this is just getting too serious right now. By 2011 then sneaker game would have taken over the planet. Now if we can only get stuff like this for shoes and we would be straight lol


The New Black Half Cent Penny’s Look S.I.C.K.!!!

Converse X JACK PURCELL X Ozzy X Black Sabbath

CONVERSE X JACK PURCELL X OZZY X BLACK SABBATH

(ok, it looks like straps are in for 2009)

This isn’t half bad… ok, I am not giving it enough credit, this is pretty good. I like it and I think it works well. Saw it on a site a never heard of until now called Think Contra. I think I will be going there ore often.


Guess Who Shows Up In Half Cent Pennys? Chris Brown

Chris Brown with University of Mary Washington basketball team

(watch the video on TMZ right here)

Wow, he has been off the radar for a while since what I will now call “the incident”. Now he comes out just a few days before his court date to do some charity work of some sort wearing the Half Cent Penny’s with a somewhat matching shorts. Is this a good look or is the media (and many bloggers) giving him a hard time?

Nike Half Cent Hybrid Theory - from NIKEKICKS.com

(I think Lil’ Penny shed a tear today)

Well, his sneaker game is tight, I think we can agree on that.

I Aint Taking My Sneakers Off – Family Guy Sneakers O’Toole

(when you look hard enough the love of sneaker and shoes is everywhere)

Sneakers can find its way into culture either in a nice unotiable way or on a full all out onslaught. And yes, so can shoes, so lets start to take a look at that shall we? Footwear in Culture, Saturdays only on Sneaker and Shoes lol


Future Release: Nike Air Max ST = HAWT

Nike Air Max ST in white with black and red hilights

(retro fresh for your feet)

There is just something about this sneaker that brings back memories. Its a nice clean sneaker, that’s for sure and I do appreiceate the technology that was put into it at the time (of which was 1992).

Nike unleashed the Air Max ST, at the time, its most technologically advanced running model yet.  The shoe featured a much larger Air sole unit in the heel than had ever been used on a Nike running shoe and also added an Air unit in the front of the shoe as well. The Air Max ST also incorporated Nike’s Footbridge technology to even further improve cushioning and comfort. Other nice features of the ST were the breathable leather/mesh upper and the addition of a Neoprene tongue

Sounds great for running in as well. And the retro movement continues…


Are Air Force 1′s Going to Stay Popular?

Air Force ONE for July 2009

(hmmmmm… how long can they keep this up?)

I am not too into what is proposed for July 2009, but maybe they will look better in real life than on pictures. I do also wonder just what else can you do to the Air Force Ones that hasn’t been done already? Mad colorways, styles, collabos, a materials later is the Air Force ONE still fresh or is it just hanging in there?

As for these future releases as seen on Sneakernews.com, I guess a couple of them work and the rest just don’t do it for me.


A Collabo That Was Bound To Happen: Makavelie x Nike x NiceKicks

True or Not True...

WOW

(I waited so long for this moment *starts to cry*)

Either this is one serious April Fools Joke, or I am going to have to reach into my wallet and get a pair of these. The funny thing is that these and the other three seen on Nicekicks ACTUALLY LOOK PRETTY INTERESTING. I will admit though I am waiting for one of my favorite sneaker blogs (and yes even the shoe blogs) to do a collabo with a sneaker company. That would be really cool.


Fast and Furious x PUMA?

(???)

Saw an advertisment on KicksOnFire via Google Ads leading me to this account on YouTube. It makes me wonder if this is real or is there something that Puma isn’t telling us just yet. The account was made in late March of this year.

Hmmmmm….


Now These I Want: Nike Air Yeezy in Black-Black and Pink Interior

Nike Air Yeezy in Black with Grey and Pink

(these sneakers are just amazing to look at… why are they limited???)

(a little crouded and bulky but still amazing)

When the whole idea of this sneaker came out, I was thinking to myself, yeah right this will work. I sure thought the name Air Yeezy was a crazy name to come up with (for better or worst). After a while the whole concept has grown on me. I am loving the materials, the shape and form, the colors are pretty on point and finally THE SOLES GLOW IN THE DARK. A nice touch to a nice sneaker.

Not too sure about the release of this colorway, but the  Zen Grey Air Yeezy’s release this Saturday so if your going to get them, give it a shot then.


Ol’ Skool Wednesday: Mary J. Blige – Lady Foot Locker x Reebok Commercial
