Lebron Gives A Nod To Jordan – LeBron VII Cool Grey

(I can get behind this)

Why do this? Why the hell not? And it looks really good. This is most likely a collectible. In fact I would say it’s no question that this is a collectible.

I do hope though that it doesn’t show up every time there is a new release of this signature sneaker, but I can get with it if they decide to do it that way (I just won’t like it lol).

More info on Sneakernews… and who is this Kinstor guy? Kinstor is making waves on the sneakernets with these pics much like another guy did a couple of years back (look at the name on the pic in the link). Hope it doesn’t end badly… just like that other guy a couple of years back.


A Colorway That May Just Work – Air Jordan 2010 in Black – University Blue

(I think we found a AJ2010 colorway that works people)

Those Air Jordan 2010′s didn’t get a great reception from the sneakernets (just take a look at Sneakernews and Nicekicks comments to start) but it is very possible that the 2010′s just needed a colorway that works.

Hell, even the see-through circle don’t bother me anymore.

Clear soles, patent leather (patent leather seems to be a favorite for Brand Jordan), and interesting details and a good colorway I think saves this sneaker from almost certain sneaker death.

Now if we can get this in a black-red colorway and a white-red (traditional MJ colorways as a Bull) I think we will have a see-through winner.

More info and pics can be seen on sneakernews.com HERE

Pepsi x Gourmet UNO = Soda For Your Feet

(now look who doing a collabo…)

Pepsi has made the decision to make your feet have a drink… or at least look like it approaves of you allowing your feet to drink… ok, something like that.

The point is that this makes a very interesting collaberation. I think Pepsi made a nice choice here joining up with Gourmet… and does that sneaker look like any other sneaker you have seen before? maybe a fusion of a pair of Converses and a particular Air Jordan?

Interesting… anyway, good look for Pespi. Look forward to some more collabos from non-traditional places like pespi in 2010

Diggng In The Sneaker Crates: Transformers Nike Free 7.0

(this is what a robot SHOULD transform too)

Just looking through my past post over the years and man have I covered some interesting topics. I mean look at this post I made back in 2007 in July. Talk about a callabo that transformed how collabos should be done… sorry I couldn’t help myself.

Just digging in those sneaker crates… July 2007 on Sneakers  & Shoes (because your feet have opinions too)

By the way, Amazon still has a few “pairs” of these left (click HERE). For whatever reason there are still more of them out there. Maybe because people aren’t as interested in Megatron than Optimus (have to admit Optimus is a better colorway pictured on top)


Nike Air Yeezy by Tony M…

(Tony M… give us MORE!!!)

Bumped into Tony M… while browsing the SneakerPims flickr photo pool. I liked it so much I used this and other photos he took as a wallpaper for my desktop.

(me using the pic for my desktop)

If you want to see more from Tony M… click HERE and I am VERY sure you want this on your desktop as well while your looking. >> Take it EZY <<


I am totally loving SneakerNews HD and those SpaceJam pics

(and it looks SOOOOOOO good)

Lets hope that SneakerNews keeps up the good work and adds more high definition pics and stories to go with them. You can see the SpaceJam story HERE and be sure to visit HERE SneakerNews HD for all those HD pics (and the stories that go with it)


Guess Whats Popular In NYC right Now? Polo Tavin Men’s Boot

(this is one popular boot)

I have been seeing this boot quite often during my travels around town. It is an interesting and cool looking boot. Not sure if it will look good on a foot that is bigger than size 11, but I am sure some of the fashion players out their will make it work.

You can pick them up online (and I am sure in a store near you) at Finishline by clicking HERE.
