This Week In Sneaks

This Week in Sneaks

The comment section went crazy when this Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Grey/Teal hit the web yesterday. No release date info has been revealed. However, where does this Air Griffey Max 1 colorway rank among all of them?

Allen Iverson returning to the Philadelphia 76ers has the potential to be a very feel-good type of story with a happy ending. Ironically, we are also happy to see the Reebok Question return as well. Take a look at Throwback Thursday: Reebok The Answer as well.

Speaking of A.I., check out our Tribute to the Reebok Question: Allen Iverson's Best Rookie Games.

Although the Jordan 60+ “Detroit Pistons” officially released today, many of you expressed more interest in the 60+ “Grape” that released in Asia. If this shoe made it to the states, would it be a definite purchase for you?

We have already seen a plethora of Air Max LeBron VII colorways and we’re not even halfway through the season. However, was LeBron VIIs James wore with the throwback Cavs jerseys the best yet? Click here to view photos.

Check out some of your favorite rappers including Jay-Z, Drake, Pharrell, Young Jeezy and others in this week’s Celebrity Sneaker Stalker.

Is the Air Jordan 6 Retro Black/White a must-have for you in 2010?

Nike Air Flytop QS

Posted: 05 Dec 2009 11:58 AM PST

Nike Air Flytop QS

The Nike Air Flytop has gotten a lot of attention from readers since we started seeing Premium colorway pop up a few months back. We’ve seen brown and black colorways, but for these next two pairs, subtlety was thrown out the window in favor of some bright color-ups.

The first looks like it was inspired by a bag of Skittles, as it utilizes leather in shades of yellow, purple and red, while bits of white and grey work as accents. The second pair uses purple solely, though multiple shades are used, including a metallic leather around the ankle.

Vans Vault Sierra Chukka LX

Vans Vault Sierra Chukka LX

For those times when a standard Vans won’t do, the Vault has hit us with these Sierra Chukka LX just might. Fresh in at select retailers, including Bows & Arrows, these maintain standard Vans elements while changing things up dramatically.

The uppers are completely black suede, with the exception of the toe reinforcement. In place of standard eyestays are black lace hoops, while the liners are done with tan premium leather. The laces are also done with cords instead of the standard flat laces.

Kicks On Court: King James & his Cavalry “Box Out Breast Cancer”

Posted: 05 Dec 2009 10:28 AM PST

Nike Air Max LeBron VIIs + Hyperize

LeBron James has let it be known that he is an extreme supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness since he’s been in the NBA. During Breast Cancer Awareness month (October), James wore a white/pink colorway of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III to show his support. However, last night was an obvious extension of his support for Breast Cancer Awareness; this time, he persuaded some of his teammates to join in on the support.

In a rather easy win for the Cavs last night against the Chicago Bulls, LeBron James and some of his teammates sported pink sneakers along with various pink accesories to show support for "Box Out Breast Cancer", a program designed to raise awareness for breast cancer. LeBron himself laced up a black/pink Air Max LeBron VII that features a gradient-like design on the side panels, while Mo Williams, Zyndrunas Illgauskas, Anderson Varejao and some of the other Cavs were spotted in pink Hyperizes. Check out today’s Kicks On Court to see these themed sneakers plus other shoes worn by Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett and others.

DJ Clark Kent x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme

DJ Clark Kent x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme on Nike.com

Clark Kent’s most recent Air Force 1 collaboration may have released in store the day before Thanksgiving, but now those of you who couldn’t get their hands on a pair have another shot, thanks to Nikestore.com.

Black leather wraps the toe, midsole, Swoosh and strap, while pebbled blue leather is used for the heel and ankle section. The real color comes from the orange nubuck in the mid-panel, giving these a distinct Knicks color-up. Clark’s got a long history with the AF1, so you know he put in the time and effort to make these special. Plan to act on this second chance?

Vans “Chocolate Check” Pack

Posted: 04 Dec 2009 05:28 PM PST

Vans Vault

This year, we have seen a lot of brands borrow the “Gucci” color scheme for some of their classic sneakers. However, Vans decides to go in the opposite direction and apply a color design that is most associated with Louis Vuitton.

Vans used the Sk8-Hi and the V2041 Hi for the highly-detailed “Chocolate Check” Pack. The SK8-Hi features the Louis Vuitton checkered bag design throughout the side panels and collar area, while the V2041 showcases the aforementioned design on the toe box also. The rest of the sneaker is finished with brown patent leather and a white vulcanized sole. Other features include a gold plated Vans logo on the tongue, brown shoelaces and minimal red accents on the upper. Available now at ABC-Mart. Click here to view the pack in its entirety.
