| Nike Big Nike Low Posted: 06 May 2009 12:55 PM PDT |  Nike dropped the Big Nike silhouette back in the 80’s and although its sibling the Dunk has received more attention in recent years. The Big Nike was a staple basketball shoe in its day, found on the feet of basketball giant, Manute Bol.
The Nike Big Nike Low appeared in a fresh white colorway last month and returns this month in three varsity colorways. Japanese characters have been replaced the usual big “NIKE” found on the heel, and a combination of leather, mesh and nylon combine in an effort to prove that bigger is better. To see all three colorways click here. |

| What They Wore: Celebrity Sneaker Stalker Posted: 06 May 2009 11:00 AM PDT  He might have his tats removed, but Skateboard P is never going to take his Vans off. Yup, Pha-rrell loves the Cali-based skate brand, for-real. Besides the N.E.R.D frontman rockin' the same Vans lowtops during two different concerts, we have Jay-Z in high-fashion sneakers, Kanye (of course) and Keri Hilson supporting Nike Sportswear, and Shay from N.E.R.D in a slept-on Jordan that many of you probably passed on.

| LeBron Presented With Custom “MVP” Nike Air Force 1 Posted: 06 May 2009 09:51 AM PDT  Yesterday, we spotlighted the Nike Zoom LeBron VI “MVP” in which Nike designed in lieu of LeBron James winning the Maurice Podoloff trophy. In addition, he wore the exclusive sneaker last night in game 1 of the Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers series. However, this was not the only gift given to LeBron inspired by his recent, prestigious accomplishment. During LeBron James MVP award acceptance press conference, T.Way presented ‘King James’ with an exclusive LeBron James “MVP” Custom Nike Air Force 1. It contains a predominately blue leather upper with multiple crimson red and gold accents throughout the base. However, one of the more interesting feature is the white MVP inspired scripts located on the heel panel. To finish this shoe off, it is complimented with a regular white sole.

| Nike Blazer Hi “Green Spark” Posted: 06 May 2009 07:41 AM PDT |  Earlier this month we saw a bright Ms. Pacman inspired Dunk from the May Nike SB lineup. Today we have a look at an equally bright colorway of the Nike SB Blazer that will drop sometime this fall.
The Nike Blazer Hi “Green Spark” is done up in a bright “Green Spark” with red accents that has been dubbed Pimento. Like many Blazers from Nike Skateboarding, this particular colorway receives a leather treatment on the Swoosh, while the rest of the upper is done up in a mash up of nubuck and suede. A nice looking shoe that should hit stores towards the end of summer. Click here to see detailed shots of the Green Spark Blazer. |

It contains a 100% black wrinkled leather upper mixed with a white leather midsole. Coinciding with the black wrinkled leather upper, this shoe is also complimented with a black outsole.

| Nike Air Force 1 Armed Forces 2009 Posted: 05 May 2009 02:57 PM PDT |  Over the weekend, Nike dropped the latest Armed Forces inspired Air Force 1. As with previous Armed Forces AF1 releases, these were only available on base.
The Nike Air Force 1 Armed Forces 2009 colorway this year is a little more militaristic then the 2008 AF1. It was done up in a completely tonal Neutral Olive upper. A mix of materials makes it onto these kicks that were created to honor those individuals to serve our country. A white midsole, as well as white laces, and some lasering effects on the heel area finish off these kicks. As a Quickstrike these are fairly limited, and previously stated, deservingly only available on base to those serving our country. Click here to see detailed shots after the jump. |
