With Cudi’s album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day set to hit stores September 15, and Drake flooding the radio airwaves off his mixtape tracks, these two artists seem to just be getting started. Today, we focus on their sneakers. Both have been spotted wearing the red suede Jordan V Toro Bravo Pack in recent photos, two much different ways. So we say that, to ask this, who rocked it better? Check the pics and let us know in the comments after the jump.

Converse 1HUND(RED) Jack Purcell V3 Posted: 28 Aug 2009 08:46 AM PDT When we showed you the newly-designed Converse Jack Purcell Racearound earlier this week, the majority of those that commented stated that it was a really fresh design. In the same manner, Converse has designed yet another Jack Purcell style; however, this particular sneaker holds much more meaning than a regular release. Designed by Ian Ginoza, this shoe was designed to help fight AIDS in Africa. "I just wanted to make something hopeful," said Ian. This is act is also expressed by the Converse 1HUND(RED) campaign. The makeup draws inspirations from a single white blood cell. It features a predominately white epi leather mixed with a white rubber outsole. Minimal red accents appear on the inner lining, tongue and throughout the midfoot area. It will release tomorrow, August 29th, 2009 at select retailers for $90.

Nike Air 3 “Kevin Garnett” Posted: 28 Aug 2009 08:13 AM PDT | Last year Kevin Garnett said in an interview that being on the cover of NBA 2K9 was more special that having signature shoes. While it may be a toss up which is better, one thing is for certain, KG had some pretty decent sneakers during his career - especially with Nike. (see feature) Nike and Garnett are no longer, but that doesn’t mean that the shoes he wore will not return. Coming in October is the Nike Air 3 which is pretty much the Nike Air Garnett III minus any KG branding. This colorup is probably the most recognizable of the model and was worn by Garnett during his days with the Timberwolves. One slight change to this retro from the original is that the shoes have a Max Air heel unit rather than Tuned Air that was in the OG’s. The shoes will be out in about a month, but you can pre-order now on eBay for just a few dollars over the retail price of $140. | Read the rest of Nike Air 3 “Kevin Garnett” © Matt Halfhill for NiceKicks.com, 2009. | Permalink | 18 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Kevin Garnett, Nike, Nike Air 3 |
Clae Russell Black Patent Posted: 28 Aug 2009 07:58 AM PDT We first caught a glimpse of the Clae Russell about two years ago. Since its first release in premium leathers, we have seen Clae use this silhouette with a number of great materials including combinations of finished leather, ballistic nylon, and patent leather. Gearing up for fall Clae offers the Russell for a first time entirely in patent leather. The black patent upper sits nicely on white cup sole offering dressy appeal with a casual feel. Inside and out the shoe is dressed with a leather lined interior signatory of Clae’s commitment to quality. This Clae Russell along with their fall offerings are available now in stores. To find a Clae retailer near you visit Clae.com. | Read the rest of Clae Russell Black Patent © Matt Halfhill for NiceKicks.com, 2009. | Permalink | 22 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Clae, Clae Russell |
