THE SEBAGO NEXUS PROJECT – CULTURESHOQ X RONNIE FIEG | A CLOSER LOOK

(wow)

Another pair of hot as fire shoes from the man himself. Is it art or is it footwear? And the pictures he take are fantastic!!!

Details from the blog:

For the fourth installment of the Sebago Nexus Project, CultureShoq.com and I present two new styles that I’ve been excited about since we went to Dominican Republic early this year. Priced at $140USD and limited to 48 pairs per style, the DT lug sole comes in a premium crazy horse brown leather with a removable kilt and leather laces, and the DT High is comprised of oily chestnut suede with a removable kilt/tassels. You can purchase these boots tomorrow Friday October 29th at 10am EST at the David Z flagship store as well as online at Davidz.com. Shots by@Sqmunro

Since this went on sale way back in October, I am guessing that they are gone now. Only 48 pairs makes them pretty exclusive and no question these things are works of art.

Just diggin in those sneaker crates (Ronnie Fief Edition)… October 28th 2010 on Ronnie Fieg

(total heat from Ronnie Fieg)

I made a mistake. I should have been following what Ronnie Fieg has
been doing way more than I was. Hell, I should be wearing a pair of
his designs right now. I made this statement on Twitter and I stand
by it: if your top ten or 20 kicks/shoes of 2010 don’t include
Ronnie Fieg, then something is wrong with your list So to make up
for my error I will be focusing on Ronnie Fieg in my “digging in
the sneaker crates” series this month way more often then I would
normally focus on anyone or any particular brand. So don’t get mad
at me if for the rest of the month you see Ronnie all over the
place.

(a tasty contest)

(with tasty sneakers)

I have NO idea if this contest is still on or not nor will I take the time to look and see (of which would take 30-40 seconds). All I care about right now is the fact that these sneakers look freakin hot.

What that song say? Black and yellow?

I can only imagine holding it down with these bad boys and have a matching headphone. A real nice look I have to say.

If you wish you can head over to Sony to find out whatever it is you want to know about the contest I guess RIGHT HERE.

It looks like candy to me LOL

(no wonder there hasn’t been a peep about these kicks in months)

Ok its a new year and promises have been made to who ever or where ever and such . Here we have what COULD be the Air Jordan 2011. Doing a search for the Air Jordan 2011 will show just what the sneaker looks like. IN FACT Dwane Wade of the Miami Heat wore the AJ 2011 (if they are really the AJ2011) on Christmas day.

(anybody notice D. Wade changing back to the AJ2010?)

So what’s the deal? Is this the sneaker? Many, and I mean MANY, sneaker blogs say yes it is. I actually hope THAT IT ISN’T and this is some sort of sample or maybe a AJ2011.5 version or a lite version or something.

Then again, I have to admit that I hated the AJ2010 at first and after hearing the story behind it, I found myself liking it much more than I thought I would (but ONLY in certain colorways).

(Air Jordan 2010 UNDERTOW… straight HEAT)

If this is going to be the Air Jordan 2011 (that has some sort of *wink* to the Air Jordan 11 clearly seen in the profile) then so be it, but please for the love of colorways, make sure this sneaker has some wonderful materials and has some very cool colors.

I haven’t found anyone on the net so far who has attempted to re-color the AJ2011 but its sure to happen soon.

THE BIG QUESTION

The big question for me for all of this is why did Team Jordan want the pictures taken down from sites such as Sneakernews, Nicekicks and so forth?

Companies from time to time have to protect their intellectual property in order to show a court (if needed) that they actually care about their intellectual property if someone takes it from them. Don’t want to get into the technical mumbo-jumbo but maybe that’s why???  I suppose just on the face of things, even though they know they need the promotion, they probably felt that they wanted to control the message more with a D. Wade debut on Christmas day.

Whatever.

Its 2011 and its time for some real info (and pics)  for the AJ line. The Air Jordan  2011  is set to release in February.  Since the colorway is all over the place now, including the very sites Brand Jordan convinced to take down,  decided to post some of the pics here (pics from OSneaker)

DEATAILS

February 19 2001 release

Air Jordan enjoys marking the new year with a new silhouette that is meant
to carry on the legacy of Michael Jordan. The latest introduction is a
pair of Air Jordan 2011’s, the aesthetic of this pair is very similar to
the pairs designed during the heyday of Jordan brand. It is simplistic,
with interesting functional features such as an interchangeable sole
which has a torsion plate attached to the shoe. The interchangeable
soles feature the AIR technology which improves traction and landing on
your feet. This simple model features neat cuts and design ideas which
will help it stand out.

(great way to restart the blog!)

Welcome back to a new design of Sneakers and Shoes blog. Figured I start with whats currently on sale around the net that is cool, interesting, and so on and so forth.

Here we have the Low Level Light Up Danger by Irregular Choice.  Its a good look if you think you know how to rock them. And yes, they do, I repeat, DO light up.

Here are the details:

Iridescent finish ruched and pleated suede Mary Jane style wedges; translucent heel with engraved design and interior details illuminates when walking; wooden front platform; 4″ heel with 1″ platform.

Very interesting no? I am not a fan of lights in a pair of footwear but this actually seems to be an ok look. Now I am not saying they would make a great Christmas present, but hey

Head over to KARMALOOP right HERE if you want to get these for yourself or your lady.

(and when I say closet, I mean room… with a security code!)

The Shoe Game is more than just a blog, its a freakin phenom of all blogs. If I wanted my blog to, one day, become the TechCrunch of all sneaker/shoe blogs, they are beating me too it LOL

If you visit The Shoe Game, you know that there is a nice community of people who comment on there and support the site and its all out of the ATL.

Now they bring us (with the help of Mayor, of course) a video of Mayor’s sneaker stash (which I am sad to say, does not include ANY shoes) and it is AWESOME.

The screenshots I took of the mini-movie does not do the 4min video justice. You have to watch the video. I wonder if anyone will try to name all the sneakers seen in the video. Now that would make for a great game right there (wonder if the Shoe Game is listening??? LOL)

One little interesting note, at the end of the video, YouTube usually has videos that are somehow associated to the video you just watched. So tell me why X-Men Revolution and The Beautiful Life  is related to a sneaker video?

First seen at TheShoeGame RIGHT HERE… check out the post and leave a comment.

(faux fur… so PETA won’t come after you)

These look pretty hot (even though the one review they have on Amazon.com is 1 out of 5 stars) and I am sorta sure you will like them.

But can you rock them? Do you know how? Will men take a look and say, “HELLO?”

If you want them, you can get them here on AMAZON.

(not bad… not bad at all)

First seen at Freshness.com, the Twitter x adidas collabo would be a welcome look for those who like to tweet and like kicks (especially adidas classics).

These are NOT on sale yet (before people start sending me emails about it) but just an idea created by Gerry McKay (who has also has some other ideas you should check out HERE.)

(now if I could only run 88 miles an hour)

It umm…. doesn’t look that great, but it limited and its based off of the DeLorean, so  hey, why not folks!

By the way… JUST LOVE the sole of these kicks. I would want these just because of the sole. Its supposed to represent the typical 80′s stop light (of which the DeLorean has).

First seen at Autoblog (yes, Autoblog.com), the limited edition NIKE 6 DeLorean will be released on Friday the 26th (Black Friday) this pair of kicks has a unibody upper (no stitches here buddy) and a matte finish silver color. There is also a stamp on the tongue that is supposed to be a nudge to the Irish factory where the DMC – 12 was made.

And for the fans of having boxes be just as special as the kicks, the box also opens up gull wing style.

There are only 1000 pairs of these kicks going to be made. I guess that is what they mean by limited.  Who is getting these?

(this guy REALLY loves wings)

I have to admit that the wings seem a little bit on the extra side of things but he does make them look good. This time he is using the black and orange colorway for that “I’m moving so fast, that I must have wings on my feet AND the wings are on fire” look

I guess that explains “Fire” being in the name of the sneaker.

Little tid-bits about the shoe:
Was Patrick Ewing signature kick back in he 20th century (1986 to be exact) originally called the Attitude

Currently this is now looked as an skate sneaker… Get it? Skating – motorcycle – good looking model? Well the pics still look good.
