LOST x Supra Vaider

LOST x Supra Vaider

Tonight, the final season of LOST begins with a 2-hour premiere. Though this new shoe is too late to make our Sneaker Geeks: TV Show Inspired Sneakers list, Supra has actually paired up with ABC to pay tribute to the kick-off episode on a very limited Vaider.

Only 50 of these shoes were produced for the cast and crew, though 17 were made available at the Factory413 store today at noon. Any remaining pairs will be available tonight at 9 PM PST at the online store, which corresponds with the beginning of the show. The shoe itself is composed of white crackled leather. Metallic gold is used on the ankle panel, tongue and trim around the heel. “Razzle” and “Dazzle” were appear on the left and right shoes, respectively, as an allusion to episode 14 of season 3. In that episode, we learn that “Razzle Dazzle” is a reference to the Australian TV show “Exposé” that one of the LOST characters was on before they were stranded on the island. Along with the shoes, a script signed by writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and an “Exposé” crew mug will be included.

Video: LeBron & Dwight Remake Classic McDonald’s Commercial

Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:28 PM PST

How far would you go for a McDonald’s Big Mac and fries? Years ago, we saw Larry Bird challenge Michael Jordan to a cutthroat game of see-who-misses-first for his Big Mac and fries in a McDonald’s commercial. Now, Dwight Howard seems to be a little hungry for what LeBron has in his bag. It remains to be seen what kind of difficult shots these two will do. Who else would like to see them ‘dunk’ it out for some McDonald’s? View the video above to see what’s brewing between these two. Also click here to view the vintage McDonald’s commercial featuring Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.

Reebok Ex-O Fit Hi Maroon/White-Black

Posted: 02 Feb 2010 11:58 AM PST

Reebok Ex-O Fit Hi Stripes SD Maroon/White-Black

The Reebok Ex-O Fit Hi has been a love-hate silhouette in every colorway we’ve seen. The Strap version is often referred to the “Poorman Yeezy,” even. The pair seen here doesn’t use the large midfoot strap though, and instead relies on basic color-blocking and quality materials.

Maroon suede is slathered all over the high-top upper. White leather interjects on the Vector logo along the side and on the tongue. Matching those two spots are the laces and the sole. Gold accents are also used, both on the tongue and the midfoot “Reebok” next to the London Jack. The “Trail” Pack of these shoes were done in a similar vein with solid-colored uppers and received high praise. These have hit stores now. Are they a purchase or a pass?

adidas Originals ZX77 “A.039 Collection”

Posted: 02 Feb 2010 09:58 AM PST

adidas-originals-zx77-a039-collection-lead1

For the upcoming adidas Originals “A.039 Collection,” this ZX 8000 uses a new material construction we haven’t seen on this silhouette just yet, which has transformed it into the ZX 77.

The standard construction of this shoe usually is leather, with bits of mesh interspersed on the toe box and ankle area. Instead, canvas is the only material used, outside of the plastic heel cup done in midsole-matching white. Along the midfoot, the eyelet piece that is normally plastic has also been changed in favor of black canvas. These should hit retailers soon.
