| Nike Air Max 95 X-Men Pack “Sabretooth” Posted: 08 May 2009 12:13 PM PDT |  Marvel’s X-Men is all the buzz right now with the latest Wolverine movie hit theaters. To coincide with the film, Nike has come up with the X-Men Pack featuring inspiration from X-Men characters, such as Sabretooth for these Air Max 95’s.
The Nike Air Max 95 Sabretooth edition features all the appropriate colors to match the super-villain seen throughout the Marvel Comic books, who now makes it onto the big screen. A unique colorway and the “95″ seemingly “clawed” into the tongue of these kicks should give Sabretooth the upper hand claw when it comes to his Footwear Face Off with Wolverine. Available for $160 at Proper. |

| Nike Big Nike “Wolverine” Posted: 08 May 2009 12:11 PM PDT  In recent years, we have spotted a plethora of sneakers inspired by memorable box office movies (see Sneaker Geeks: 11 of the Best Movie Inspired Sneakers). With that said, it seems Nike will continue to use movies as inspiration to some of its classic sneakers. Check out this Nike Big Nike that draws inspiration from the recently released X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Obviously, the shoe itself is inspired by Wolverine’s uniform. It features a predominately yellow leather upper with multiple blue, black and red details throughout the base. Drawing inspiration from Wolverine’s most known asset (claws), the shoe possesses claw designs as if Wolverine ripped through the side panels himself. To finish it off, this Nike Big Nike “Wolverine” is complimented with a white midsole and blue outsole. Head on over to Proper and snag a pair for $100. |

For the first edition of the face-off, we have rapper-of-the-moment Drake, and Jay-Z wearing the Black/Pink Nike Air Yeezy. Sick of the sneaker yet?

| New Balance MT580 Black Posted: 08 May 2009 10:27 AM PDT |  Last month we saw the True Red colorway, a well as the navy colorway of the New Balance MT580 hit retailers. This month the black version of the trail inspired runner is now available.
Not until recently has this comfortable running shoe appeared in down-to-earth colors. Of course a classic black sneaker with just a touch of grey is a can’t miss. Add to that the moderate price of $90 at Zappos, these would make some great day-to-day kicks. |

| New Balance CW996M Lineup Posted: 08 May 2009 10:17 AM PDT  Being the first New Balance sneaker to break the $100 price tab, one would expect New Balance to continue to shell out exclusive, stylish colorways on the CW996M. With that said, New Balance has just released an exclusive, three-sneaker lineup of this classic model. All three sneakers contain a combination of mesh, suede and metallic accents on the upper. However, the individual unique colorways are what separate this lineup from others. Color schemes include Black/Cherry, White/Menthol and White/Lemonade. Head over to Atmos and pick a pair up now.

| Puma Cell Kingston Olympian Blue Posted: 08 May 2009 09:01 AM PDT |  Combining old school style with new school technology is nothing new, we’ve seen nearly every brand attempt to do this in some shape or form. Puma may have found the proper mixture of elements in their latest, the Puma Cell Kingston.
Puma takes the classic styling of their RS 100 running silhouette and packs in up-to-date Cell technology from the Puma Cell Meio running shoe. Puma’s attention to detail when creating this silhouette is unsurpassed. You can see the double stitching that follows most of the connecting leather and mesh panels. A translucent blue sole keeps it current. Puma comes correct with this hybrid, check out the detailed photos by clicking here. |

| Nike Hyperize White/Grey-Aqua Posted: 08 May 2009 08:53 AM PDT  To many people’s surprise, the Nike Hyperdunk took hardwood by storm this basketball season. However, the Hyperdunk 2.0, officially known as the Nike Hyperize, is sure to make just as big of an impact during the 2009-2010 basketball season. Similar to the aforementioned Hyperdunk, the Hyperize also owns flywire technology and lunar foam mid-sole. Last month, we showed you the first Nike Hyperize colorway set to drop in July. In addition, we have now spotted yet another fresh Nike Hyperize set to drop later this year. It possesses a predominately white upper with aqua accents on the side panels, outsole amongst various other places. Is this the best Hyperize colorway seen to date?

A couple of days ago, our Kicks On Court spotlighted MVP Award-winner LeBron James sporting the Nike Zoom LeBron VI “MVP” in game 1 of the Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers series.

| Star Trek x Staple x Airwalk 1.0 Posted: 07 May 2009 03:36 PM PDT |  We’ve been seeing more and more from jeffstaple and his work with Airwalk. They have teamed up with CBS Studios and Star Trek to create a “Trekkie” edition of the Airwalk 1.0.
Star Trek x Staple x Airwalk 1.0 features the Star Trek “Shield” logo in the form of a lacetag. The release date can be seen stitched into the heel area to commemorate the launch of the movie, as well as the kicks. These details, and a foil-esque finish should make for a good number of trekkies-turned-sneaker-geeks lined up, and be good for our next edition of Sneaker Geeks as well. 140 pairs are going to be available at Reed Space tomorrow, May 8th. Trekkies grab your gear you’ll want to cop these on the way to the theater! Click here to see detailed shots of these kicks. |
