| Big Boi’s Suspicious Kicks on CNN Posted: 27 May 2009 01:02 PM PDT  Last week Big Boi took the stage in his hometown of Atlanta to perform as the headlining act for the traveling sneaker show Sneaker Pimps in a pair of sneakers that raised some eyebrows in the crowd and later online. CNN covered the event and spoke to Big Boi his one-of-a-kind “Buggs Bunny” Nike Air Jordan VIIIs. Big Boi boasted to CNN that his collection stacks 400 pairs deep and that he rarely pays for his shoes as shoe companies send him pairs. No official word has been released from Jordan Brand or Nike regarding their relationship with Big Boi, but I have a feeling that this pair of suspicious kicks did not come from Beaverton. |

| Converse Co* (Co-Star) Posted: 27 May 2009 12:28 PM PDT  At the beginning of April, we showed you some of Converse’s Fall 2009 Skateboarding lineup. Many of you gave Converse props for venturing out into the skate shoe world. In addition, Converse is set to release another exclusive model dubbed the Co* (Co-Star). The Converse Co* seems to the follow in the footsteps of the ever-so-popular high top sneaker that seems to be everywhere today (see Yeezy, RT1, Skytop). This particular shoe contains a 100% red upper mixed with a white rubber sole. The Converse logos, seen on the side panels and tongue, are also colored in white. Look for this colorway and others to release exclusively at Footlocker throughout the upcoming months. What are your thoughts on the newly-designed Converse Co*? |

| Nike Zoom LeBron VI MVP Detailed Look Posted: 27 May 2009 09:27 AM PDT  Earlier this month we saw King James be crowned MVP by the NBA, Nike in turn created a special makeup of the Zoom LeBron VI to honor LeBron’s accomplishment. Today, just a few days before these kicks release at House of Hoops on the 30th (Saturday), we get a detailed look at these kicks. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI MVP features the words “Witness” and “MVP” scattered throughout the uppers. White and Navy colors makeup the color combo, with the exception of a hint of well placed gold accents. Clear sole panels reveal gold specks placed underneath as well. If nothing else, these will make an excellent parting gift for LeBron and the Cavs as they exit the Playoffs here shortly. Click here to see all the photos. |

| Nike Air Max 1 Black/Red-White Posted: 27 May 2009 09:03 AM PDT  Last week, we spotlighted the retro release of the OG Nike Air Max 1 colorway, and many of you were ecstatic about this shoe finally dropping again. Obviously, it is nothing like seeing a classic sneaker coming back after a very long hiatus; however, we have now spotted an exclusive Air Max 1 that uses a very similar color scheme. Similar to the aforementioned OG colorway, this shoe also contains multiple red details throughout the base, yet, it uses black on the upper instead of grey. Black mesh appears on the toe box and parts of the side panels, while red mesh is located on the top of the heel panel. Other features include a black outsole, a white midsole and a red visible Air sole unit. You can now purchase a pair at Overkill. Click here to view detailed photos. |

| Nike Air Force 1 “LeBron” Pack Posted: 27 May 2009 08:31 AM PDT  At the beginning of May,we spotlighted the Custom Air Force 1 LeBron James was presented with in lieu of him winning the 2008-09 MVP Award. Many of you thought it was a very fresh sneaker and stated that if it were an actual release you would by a pair without a doubt. Obviously, that shoe will never drop, yet, we have spotted two LeRron James-associated that will release very soon. One pair draws inspiration from the Cleveland Cavs jerseys. It contains a heavily-perforated cream suede base with minimal maroon accents on the shoelaces, tongue and inner lining. Coinciding with the wine-colored Nike tag logo on the tongue, this shoe also possesses a classic gum bottom outsole and a clear midsole. The remaining pair uses a basic Black/Red base mixed with a white midsole. This pair is supposedly inspired by Ohio State’s color scheme. Click here to view additional photos. |
