Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke Burgundy

Posted: 05 Jun 2009 10:53 AM PDT

We’ve seen a number of fresh designs come from the Nike Bespoke program (and a fair share of fugly ones as well). The latest design to be seen takes a much more simple approach than most.

This Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke is covered in burgundy suede. A denim Swoosh is then applied to the side. Gold accents are then applied to the inner liner, dubrae and tongue tag. Reptile skin is placed on the heel area, and fits nicely into the overall feel of the shoes. A semi-translucent white midsole and gum bottom combine to finish off this Air Force 1.

Click here to see detailed photos of this AF1.

Supra Skytop Purple Tie-Dye

Posted: 05 Jun 2009 10:06 AM PDT

Upon seeing the Supra NS Grey Tie Dye Collection, many of you stated that it was one of the freshest releases by Supra this year. Most of you claimed that the Skytop was by far the best sneaker in the aforementioned collection. However, we have now spotted yet another Skytop featuring the same, uniquely textured tie-dye design.

This particular Skytop contains a 100% purple tie dye-textured base mixed with a basic, white vulcanized sole. The inner lining, shoelaces, border of the tongue and the top eyelets are colored in a darker purple. Do not be surprised if a Trinity model and a Strapped model both surface with the same design. What are your thoughts on this Supra Skytop Purple Tie-Dye? Available now at Limited Edition.

Who Rocked It Better? Kanye vs Fabolous

Posted: 05 Jun 2009 09:55 AM PDT

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're aware that the Net/Net Yeezy's drop tomorrow. Like the previous two make-ups, the final colorway has brought about people lining up in front of stores for days. Unless of course you’re a well-known rapper like Fabolous. The BK-banger had his early, just in time for new video shoots and TV appearances.

This edition of "Who Rocked It Better" puts 'Loso against the man himself Kanye West. Are you feeling Fab's heavy-matching style, or Kanye's ensemble better?

Let us know in the comments and vote.

Kobe Bryant Puppet Finds LeBron James Puppet Dead

Posted: 05 Jun 2009 09:21 AM PDT

According to The Onion, LeBron James Puppet is dead.

“Upon returning to his apartment fresh off advancing to the NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant Puppet discovered his roommate and rival, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James Puppet, lying dead in their bathtub. Los Angeles police officials stated there was no evidence of foul play, as the deep lacerations on James’ felt wrists appeared to be self-inflicted. “I knew he was upset about losing to the [Orlando] Magic, but I never thought he would do something like this,” the shocked and fabric-based representation of Bryant told reporters, his facial expression stoic and his eyes unblinking. “Maybe I should have seen it coming. One minute LeBron was happy and covering the apartment with talcum powder, and the next he was playing video games and not wanting to be disturbed. Maybe it’s my fault for putting my championship rings on display in our apartment.” The puppet LeBron is the fifth roommate of either the puppet or real-life Bryant to commit suicide.”

Although LeBron James exited the playoffs sooner than many expected, his Zoom LeBron Soldier III will continue to march through Nike retailers this summer. That said, this Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III Grey Reptile/Yellow will officially drop on July 1st, 2009.

This particular colorway is made up of a predominately grey upper with minimal maize accents on the inner lining, tongue logo and strap logo.

Other features include multi-colored strap stitching, a white speckled midsole and a translucent outsole. As stated earlier, look for this Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III Grey Reptile/Yellow to hit retailers on July 1st.

Nike is setting up to drop a new Blazer reminiscent to the Terminator that we saw earlier this year.

The Nike Blazer Premium Denim won’t feature quite the detail we saw on the Terminator, but the colorway and material choices are very similar. Blue and grey denim are combined with red and white accents for a nice look. No word on a release date, but these should be arriving at select Nike retailers in the near future.
