In early 2009, we have seen a plethora of Puma packs such as the Monster Pack, the Hall of Game and the Winner Pack. In addition, we have now spotted an Easter inspired Puma Pack set to release very soon.
Included in this pack will be two colorways of the Puma Clyde. Using soft spring colorways, one pair will feature a predominately white base with soft blue and silver accents throughout the upper. The other pair contains a black base with ice green and purple details on the upper. To further focus on the Easter inspiration, both pair possess an Easter egg design on the heel. Look for this pack to hit Puma retailers soon.
Lately, we have seen some peculiar Nike Blazer colorways such as the Nike Blazer Mid Black/Cyan Blue. However, we have now spotted one of the more unique Blazer colorways seen in a while.
Inspired by the Rubik’s Cube, one of America’s favorite pastimes, this sneaker contains a predominately black base with a plethora of different colored accents from the side panels to the heel. Colors including white, yellow, red, green and blue are all visible in a cube shape throughout the upper. To finish it off, this sneaker is complimented with a black swoosh and sole. Supposedly, this Nike Blazer “Rubik’s Cube” will be released solely for the kids.
If you are one of the few that got the chance to attend Carnegie Mellon's Sneakerology 101, yeah that’s right, a class on sneakers, then you’ll definitely be all over these Reebok’s that were done up to commemorate the ground breaking class.
This Sneakerology 101 x Reebok Reverse Jam takes inspiration straight from the classroom. Blackboard inspired Slate colored Nubuck, chalk inspired yellow side stripes, and a Wool Felt Tongue that may actually be used as a functional eraser. Colors consist of Carnegie Mellon school colors.
Only 101 of these kicks will be made, proceeds from the shoe's sale will go towards the benefit of the Hill House Association, a local non-profit organization. They will be sold for $75 at a University organized Kicksburg event April 15th.
You might have been lucky enough to cop a pair of the Air Yeezy’s over the weekend, if you were, Kanye wants to thank you. Most importantly though is that Kanye is already hard at work on the Yeezy 2!
Sadly, 2008-09 NCAA March Madness is finally over. With that said, many sports junkies have tossed their brackets into the trash only to complete a new bracket 12 months from now. If you picked UNC to win it all, kudos to you! In addition to the memorable night, our Kicks On Court spotted the 2008-09 NCAA Champions in some nice Jordan and Nike PEs.
Being a part of a Jordan sponsored team, one would think every member would willingly wear Jordan sneakers, right? Wrong! UNC’s starting backcourt, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington, both wore specific Nike PEs. Lawson laced up a UNC inspired Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II, while Ellington sported a white/sky blue colorway of the Nike Air Blue Chip. As for the others team members, click the jump to see which Jordan sneakers were roaming the hardwood.

Lance may have suffered an unfortunate injury last month, but in no way will this slow down his committed efforts along with Nike to raise awareness and money for the war against cancer. This Saturday, April 11th, Nike Sportswear will release two LIVESTRONG makeups of the LunaRacer and Lunar Everyday to select doors including Nike Sportswear at the 21 Mercer in NYC and The Montalbán in LA.
The Nike LunaRacer brings together two technologies – Flywire and Lunarlite foam – designed for today's best athletes, creating a distance running shoe that is lighter, stronger, and faster than anything Nike has previously created in the distance running category. To add to the Nike LunaRacer shoe's lightweight Flywire upper the Nike Innovation Kitchen developed Lunarlite foam, both lightweight and highly responsive, two qualities, which are usually mutually exclusive in cushioning.
Designed with a Lunar bottom and a Nike Free Everyday upper, The Nike Lunar Everyday combines two of Nike's most innovative technologies. The Nike Lunar Everyday is a well-cushioned everyday running shoe for longer runs, offering a great ride. The breathable upper mesh of the Nike Lunar Everyday is reinforced with synthetic overlays to add maximum support. No-sew tip construction provides less irritation. Internal heel counter and plush foam package deliver maximum comfort. Utilizing the innovation of Lunarlite foam, the shoe helps protects the foot on long distance runs, distributing the pressure patterns more evenly across the foot.

Yesterday we showed you pictures of two of the four fall colorways for the Nike Air 1/2 Cent. Today two more colors have surfaced.
This Nike Air 1/2 Cent is set to drop in two more colorways this coming fall. One of which is no surprise, the all black make-up as been popular throughout the Nike Basketball line up this year. The other colorway looks to be similar to the original 1/2 Cent colorway but with a white sole and a slightly darker blue, more fitting for an Orlando Magic colorway.
