Reebok PUMP 20 “Bringback” Pack

Posted: 10 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Reebok PUMP 20

We continue to see more and more detailed photos of the collaborative efforts between Reebok and selective stores. That said, the Reebok PUMP 20 Program is sure to turn some heads when the respective sneakers finally release.

However, Reebok will also unleash the original PUMP colorways at select Reebok retailers soon. One pair will feature a predominately black premium leather base combined with white accents throughout the entire upper. Yet, its most evident features appear in the form of the basketball leather-colored accents, namely the timeless 'Pump' accent on the tongue. The remaining pair owns the same attributes, yet it is done up in a white/white color scheme. This pack will release very soon; until then, click here to view detailed photos.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV Gradient “Home” & “Away”

Posted: 10 Nov 2009 12:28 PM PST

Nike Zoom Kobe IV Gradient "Home" & "Away"

The Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos” and “Away” surfaced recently, meaning the run of Kobe IVs is coming to an end.And to go out with a bang, the Gradient “Home” and “Away” colorways are now available at House of Hoops locations. Wider releases at non-HoH Foot Locker locations are also expected this week.

We’ve seen so many colorways of the Kobe IV, so it may be hard to be super excited for these, but the gradient colorways have been deemed favorites by Kobe fan and haters alike. The “Away” colorway fades purple and black together, accenting it with bits of Lakers gold throughout. Purple and black snakeskin leather are also used around the ankle and tow cap, as well. The “Home” color-up uses white instead, better matching the alternate Los Angeles white jerseys.

With these being one of your last chances to grab a Kobe IV before the V drops, do you plan to grab these?

Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault U Velocita LX

Pairing up with Vans Vault, Taka Hayashi has designed up this Velocita LX, dressing up the simple Vans style with luxury leather and multiple details throughout. Hayashi’s coming up strong in the sneaker and skate communities, and you may remember his name from another pair he did for Vans in the No Quarter LX.

Black leather makes up the uppers one these, vaguely borrowing designs from classic Vans designs like the Era and Authentic. The underside of the leather is dark tan, which appears on the liner, tongue accent and edges of the layered panels. The heel folds over, and the underside is designed with multiple colors.
