Jordan Hallowed Grounds Rip Hamilton PE

Jordan Hallowed Ground Rip Hamilton PE

Rip Hamilton’s the next in the line of NBA players to have their PEs hit retail, as this Jordan Hallowed Ground will release at House of Hoops this Saturday, the 19th of December.

Blue nubuck is naturally the first thing you’ll notice, as it covers the tongue in mesh form and the remainder of the midfoot. That tongue also reads “Rip City,” paying tribute to the man these were designed for. Matching that tongue is a blue outsole, through which clear stripes cut. A white upper completes the color-up, which is finalized with a red Jumpman logo near the ankle. Keep an eye on Kicks on Court to see Rip sporting these.

Nike Blazer High AC Dark Cinder

Posted: 14 Dec 2009 12:28 PM PST

Nike Blazer

Nike has been unloading the Blazer in mass portions this year. We have seen just about every colorway and a few unique attributes on these Blazers. One such element that seems to have won a lot of sneaker lovers over is the return of the velcro straps. Following the release of the grey patent leather pair and the black lux color scheme, Nike has now released a dark cinder Blazer High AC at 21 Mercer.

It simply features a 100% dark cinder-colored leather base combined with a clean, white vulcanized rubber sole. However, the most distinctive element on this shoe is the five-strap velcro design across the midfoot. Other features include a monochromatic swoosh, tan trimming and a tan Nike tag logo on the heel.

Fluff x Nike SB Zoom Bruin Release Party

Posted: 14 Dec 2009 11:58 AM PST

To celebrate the release of the Fluff x Nike SB Zoom Bruin and Spanish pop-up shop, European sneakerheads were invited out to a release party and gallery opening. Sneakers were displayed and drinks were drank. The sneaker coincides with the Fluff magazine book of course, which features photos of skaters all over Europe.

The sneakers actually released on December 12th in very limited supply at select retailers, but the real story is the book, and even the pop-up shop, which won’t be open for very long. The sneakers themselves feature grey suede on their uppers, while a white midsole offsets them, keeping the color-up simple, clean and wearable.

Click here to check out photos from the event.

At the beginning of the summer, we showcased the exquisite collaboration between the New York based Classic Kicks and Fila. These Wimbledon inspired Fila Original Tennis colorways are now available at Classic Kicks’s new website.

As a celebration of getting their site up and running, Classic Kicks decided to leak 20 pairs of each Original Tennis colorway which were designed for the Wimbledon tournament. Although only 20 pairs are available now, 30 more pairs of each sneaker will release during the Wimbledon tournament next summer. What are your thoughts on this collaborative effort?

adidas Beckenbauer Allround

Franz Beckenbauer may not be a household name these days, as it’s been almost three decades since he was an international soccer superstar and these adidas signatures first released. Fresh in at select retailers are these 1982 adidas classics, giving soccer and sneaker fans something to celebrate.

An image of “The Kaiser” on the tongue may be the first thing you notice in gold, matching the text on the upper reading “Beckenbauer Allround.” Leather is used for the upper completely, including the royal blue stripes on the white majority. We’ve seen a lot of old school adidas soccer sneakers lately, including multiple pairs in the Star Wars x adidas Originals Collection.

New Balance M574J 4WD Limited Edition

At the beginning of December, we showed you the Pro-Keds Royal "B-MAX4? that was inspired by Yokomo's leading 4WD off-road radio-controlled car, the B-MAX4. In a similar form, we have spotted a New Balance 574 that is also inspired by a Japanese brand 4WD.

Specifically, this shoe pays tribute to mini 4WD which are small sized battery powered plastic model race car. These cars, which are seen below the shoe to the right, were designed by Japanese company Tamiya in 1982. As for the shoe, it possesses a rather eye-catching color scheme similar to one of the aforementioned cars. Orange patent leather makes up most of the midfoot area, while various yellow, white, black and blue details make up the rest of the shoe. Click here to view additional photos.
