| Nike Blazer Mid Black/Metallic Silver-Volt Posted: 15 Apr 2009 10:17 AM PDT  Lately, we have seen a couple of exotic Nike Blazer colorways including the Nike Blazer Premium SB "Kiss" Midwest Gold/Black and the Nike Blazer "Rubik's Cube". Many of you stated that both colorways were a little too flashy for your liking, however, we now have spotted a more subtle, yet stylish Nike Blazer. This particular mid-cut Nike Blazer contains a predominately black leather/mesh upper with volt accents located on the shoelaces, Nike tongue logo and minimal stitching just above the sole. The leather appear on the toe box and laceholders, while mesh covers the rest of the base. Besides the volt details, this shoe also possesses hints of metallic silver on the swoosh and heel. The metallic silver accents feature a cringed leather design similar to aluminum foil as well. Click here for detailed photos. |

| Nike Air Yeezy for $2,500?! Posted: 15 Apr 2009 09:25 AM PDT  It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there is a ton of buzz and hype for the Nike Air Yeezy, but apparently someone in Switzerland thinks that there is $2500 worth of interest for his pair of Black/Pink Yeezys that he listed on eBay. Judging by the fact that there have not been any takers at even his initial bid price of $1,000 it is unlikely that this seller receive the big loot for the shoes, but hey, he’s offering a steal of a deal paying the Paypal and eBay fees! (sarcasm kids). |
