Nike SB Stefan Janoski “Vacahyde” Posted: 31 Oct 2009 11:58 AM PDT We almost made it a whole week without a Stefan Janoski Twitter sneak peek! Lovers of the Savage Beast will love this one though, which has been dubbed the “Vacahyde” by the man himself. For our non-Spanish speakers, “Vaca” means cow in English. This may be our least-revealing peek yet, but from the looks of it, the brown leather laces we’ve seen before are back again. The vulcanized sole for these Nike SBs is white again, with a matching tan pinstripe around the top. The hyde material covering the uppers uses a darker shade than the AF1s mentioned above, and is more brown than orange, also. Hit the comments section and weigh in on these. | Read the rest of Nike SB Stefan Janoski “Vacahyde” © Alex Kroviak for NiceKicks.com, 2009. | Permalink | 5 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Nike, Nike SB, Nike SB Stefan Janoski |

Kicks On Court: Hallowed Grounds on Halloween Eve Posted: 31 Oct 2009 10:28 AM PDT ![Kicks On Court](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_shq7fjfzMLbxgDTdGlYnFiAmEMjNBVW9vpRnuzLmH7ncNumMCFkVv9vW5ywoST2g4fSbH2tDgS_5zcTTEyqDIqEkeX7J0gUjLRzsmTfInNCAytK2g=s0-d) As we have seen throughout this year, Jordan Brand has a plethora of sneakers as part of their ever-so-popular basketball line. While sneakers such as the 6 Rings, the Jumpman Team Pro and the Pure Pressure dominated last year’s Kicks On Court, new sneakers including the Ol School III, the Element and the Hallowed Ground will be seen consistently this year in Kicks On Court. With that said, the latter model mentioned was seen on a number of Jordan Brand members last night. Players such as Dwyane Wade, Gerald Wallace, Jared Jeffries and Tyson Chandler all sported the Hallowed Ground in their respective team colorways. The Jordan Hallowed Ground undoubtedly takes on a similar, bulky shape from the Jordan Olympia and the Air Jordan IX. Click here to view the players wearing the Hallowed Ground plus other kicks worn by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and others. | Read the rest of Kicks On Court: Hallowed Grounds on Halloween Eve © George Kiel III for NiceKicks.com, 2009. | Permalink | 10 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Kicks On Court |
