Nike Air Force 1 “Savage Beast” Detailed Look

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:58 PM PDT

Nike Air Force 1

Last November, the majority of you were undoubtedly excited about the Nike Air Force 1 “Black Friday” which featured a predominance of black pony hair on the upper. If you fell in love with the pony attribute, you will not have to look any further than this sneaker.

With that said, the Nike Air Force 1 “Savage Beast” is, well, very beastly to say the least. Its base is done up and smothered entirely in orange pony hair. The only other color and texture designs on this sneaker is the beige canvas swoosh and heel tab (which reads, Savage Beast in red) along with the black and red Nike tongue logo and the debray. To finish it off, this sneaker is complimented with a brown outsole. Look for the Air Force 1 “Savage Beast” to hit Nike retailers very soon. Until then, click here to view detailed photos.

Nike SB Blazer “Chuck Taylor”

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:28 PM PDT

Nike SB Blazer "Chuck Taylor"

The Converse Chuck Taylor is about as classic as sneakers get. And the Blazer has quite a following of its own. So for this Blazer, Nike lifted the design of the Chuck and applied it to this newer silhouette.

Almost every detail was transferred over. Metal eyelets hold the white laces against the black canvas upper, also. This SB will almost certainly never release, as this sample appears to be one of very few right in existence. The two details that stand out the most are the tongue, which is very thin canvas with stitching on the edges, and the heel label, an almost identical remake of the Chuck’s. You can see the comparison in the pics after the jump.

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:13 PM PDT

Nike Trainer 1 Lights Out Charity AuctionThe “Lights Out” Nike Trainer 1 was released to celebrate the 2:59 knockout performance by Manny Pacquiao on 5/2/09 last week on 9/25 to a handful of select retailers.  Sadly the day after the release of the shoe and half way around the globe, Manny’s homeland of Philippines fell victim to Typhoon Ondoy bringing widespread flooding and destruction.  More than 435,000 were left homeless and 140 lost their lives from this tragic natural disaster.

We have placed a pair of the “Lights Out” Nike Trainer 1’s for sale on eBay to benefit the Philippine National Red Cross.  ALL money raised from this auction will benefit in Typhoon Ondoy relief.  Click here if you would like to bid or make donations directly at the Philippine National Red Cross website - redcross.org.ph.

Vans Holiday Switchback & Chukka

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 11:58 AM PDT

Vans Holiday Switchback & Chukka

Vans has mastered the art of revamping its classic silhouettes in new colorways and with new materials, like the “Perforated Pack” we saw yesterday, but for this Holiday season we’re going to see one of their newest silhouettes in the Vans Switchback. But don’t worry, the Chukka’s back too, and both are now available at Bows & Arrows Berkeley.

The Chukka comes in two all-suede color-ups–a super light grey and also navy. The Navy sits on a white vulcanized sole, while the other uses a darker grey one. The Switchback, as you may remember from the California collection, is a boot-style sneaker with lots of padding and a thick vulcanized sole, which is sewn on to the uppers. The upper is made of a black waxed canvas, adding to its durability and rugged looks. The laces are straight from boots, also. It looks like Vans isn’t content to be just a summer shoe.

Click here to see all three sneaks.

Nike Terminator High “Noise” Sneak Peek

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 11:28 AM PDT

Nike Terminator

Lately, we have received photos of some very unique and outspoken Terminator styles including the “White Journey Pack” and the Swagger x Nike collaboration. On the contrary, we have now spotted a sneak peek of an upcoming, seemingly subtle Terminator dubbed the “Noise”.

Supposedly, this “Noise” Terminator coincides with recent release of the Nike x Hiroshi Fujiwara x Fragment Design collaborative t-shirts and raglan tees. The sneaker itself seems to possess a mainly black leather base with minimal silver accents, namely the top part of the heel panel and the bottom which reads, ‘Noise’. Stay tuned for more information on this upcoming Terminator High. What are your preliminary thoughts on this sneaker?

Air Jordan Fusion 10 White/Red First Look

Posted: 30 Sep 2009 10:28 AM PDT

Air Jordan Fusion 10

In this month alone, we have received new photos and information on the conversation-starting Air Jordan Fusion 13 and the Air Jordan Fusion 8 models. You can now add this Air Jordan Fusion 10 to the ever-extending list of fusion models we continue to see. What a month, right?

Obviously, this Fusion borrows all of its inspiration from the Air Jordan X White/Varsity Red. The tireless Air Force 1 sole is added with the midsole coming in white and the outsole done up in red. It also seems to incorporate the ankle strap as well. Supposedly, the Air Jordan Fusion 10 will hit retailers in 2010 for $140. What are your preliminary thoughts on this fusion? Click here to voice your opinion.
