Posted: 12 Jan 2010 12:58 PM PST

Reebok’s giving you some options with the Re-Up Select. Not in colorways necessarily, or even in materials. Instead, you have the option to change your silhouette on the fly.

On both of these, the ankle portion is able to be taken on and off with a zipper at the base of the upper. For the white and off-white pair, perforated nubuck constructs the flap. On the black pair, leather is the choice material. That pair is all black, with purple accents on the inside of the flap. The other pair utilizes a gum bottom to accent its white leather base and off-white flap.

Sneaker Con 2010 brought together enthusiasts, shops, collectors and bloggers for a day filled with music, pictures, and sneakers. This was the sophomore year for Sneaker Con.

Nike SB Dunk High Supreme Deep Orange/Blue Sapphire-Black

Nike SB Dunk High Supreme Deep Orange/Blue Sapphire-Black

This SB for Spring received a lot of attention when we first got a look at them. The pseudo-NYC-inspired Nike Dunk High Supreme garnered both love and a bit of hate for just that reason. Now we’re getting high resolution detailed shots at these and are willing to bet some perceptions will change.

Premium Deep Orange suede is used on the toe, midfoot and heel flap, which immediately catches your eye. Black suede fills in on the toe and mid-panel, which matches the outsole. Finally, Blue Sapphire works its way in on the Swoosh, liner, tongue surround and tongue label, as well as the alternate set of laces. Are these a purchase or a pass?
