Nike Air Pegasus ‘89 Black/Light Blue

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 12:28 PM PDT

Nike Air Pegasus '89

Although it seemed 2009 was the year of the Air Pegasus (last year marked its 20th year anniversary), Nike shows no signs of stopping the Air Pegasus '89 releases this year. So far, we have seen a couple of nice Pegasus ‘89 colorways such as the BK Black/Metallic Silver-Electric Green and the Grey/Black-Blue; however, take a look at another new colorway that is sure to turn some heads.

Much like the aforementioned BK Black/Metallic Silver-Electric Green Pegasus ‘89, this particular pair owns a mostly black-colored upper comprised of suede and nylon; it also possesses a hint of patent leather on the swoosh. Light blue accents, seen on the collar area, the toe cap, top laceholders and sole, give this shoe a nice, contrasting color scheme to say the least. To finish it off, Nike complimented this sneaker with a off-white/light blue midsole and a black outsole. Available now at Titolo.

Nike Zoom Kobe V Blue/Black-White

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 11:43 AM PDT

Nike Zoom Kobe V

The Nike Zoom Kobe V seems to be the sneaker choice for a lot of basketball players around the world. Multiple NikeiD versions are seen night after night in the NBA, while the college ballers have been spotted in general release Kobe Vs in the tournament. We have now spotted a new Kobe V colorway that may arguably be the best yet.

At a fist glance, this new Nike Zoom Kobe V may remind you of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII “All-Star”; however, the shades of blue are slightly different. The light blue base is backed by a black midsole and a white outsole; something we haven’t seen on the Kobe V before. Another interesting element on this particular Kobe V is the lack of a complex, multi-textured upper notably seen on previous Kobe Vs. Although we will probably never see Kobe wearing this colorway due to the purple/gold Lakers jerseys, it would be a nice to see the Lakers slip into those Minneapolis jerseys and try to make this work. Stay tuned for release information regarding this sneaker; meanwhile, click here to view detailed photos.

Kehinde Wiley x Puma 917 Mid Mame

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 10:58 AM PDT

Puma 917 Mid Mame

The late Alexander McQueen constructed some very nice collaborative efforts with Puma to say the least. However, Puma is set to reveal some other designs that designed with the help of other designers. With that said, take a look at the Kehinde Wiley x Puma 917 Mid Mame.

World-famous designer Kehinde Wiley designed this peculiar sneaker in honor of the upcoming 2010 World Cup. Supposedly, it draws most of inspiration from Africa’s icons, colors and most of all, it is an extension of Africa’s spirit. The off-white base overlayed by blue bird-like figurines, while a faded, rainbow-like coloration appears on the ankle strap and toe cap. What are your thoughts on this one-of-a-kind design?

Nike Shoe Porn Tee

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 10:13 AM PDT

Nike Shoe Porn Tee

While we have heard some readers refer to our site as “Shoe Porn”, Nike illustrates it full frontal on a new T-shirt. Properly titled “Shoe Porn”, the T-shirt graphic depicts an Air Max 90 doing doggie to an Air Max 2009. With pixelated blur over the bumped uglies, the shirt passes for PG-13, but to refute even the most innocent, below the graphic the XXX

rating is spelled out in a creative way of MAXXX Air.

Sneaker culture’s love for shoes is beyond what many can comprehend, but this shirt takes the phrase “That Ain’t Right” to a new level. The Nike Shoe Porn Tee is now available at Eastbay for $28.

Kicks On Court: “Black Cats” Air Jordan 4 Ignites the College Courts

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 09:28 AM PDT

Kicks On Court

Last weekend, we highlighted the college ballers in our Kicks On Court. It is safe to say the college players love LeBron and Kobe sneakers; two players that didn’t go to college. Although James and Bryant are undoubtedly our hoop stars these days, these young players still covet Jordans without a doubt. Check out today’s Kicks On Court to see a rare Jordan retro on the college hardwood.

In a season-ending loss to West Virginia, Washington guard Isaiah Thomas pulled out the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” to coincide with his primarily black, ‘Away’ Washington jersey. If you recall, the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” last surfaced in the summer of 2006 for $115. Is this particular colorway one of the better Air Jordan 4 Retro colorways to date? Click here to view these kicks and see more nice sneakers such as the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11, the Jordan 6 Rings, the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, the Nike Zoom Kobe V and many more.

Nike Air Griffey Max GD II Cool Grey/Black

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 08:43 AM PDT

Nike Air Griffey Max GD II

Within the past couple of weeks, we have learned that the Nike Air Griffey Max GD II will return later this year. In addition, Nike plans on re-releasing this sneaker in some very nice colorways such as black/royal blue and black/varsity red. Yet, is this cool grey/black Nike Air Griffey Max GD II one of, if not the best colorway seen on this sneaker?

This Air Griffey Max GD II sets itself apart from the rest color-wise and  texture-wise. While the previously-mentioned colorways feature a predominately tumbled leather makeup, this particular pair possesses a 100% cool grey suede upper. To coincide with this element, Nike decided to add a grey full-length Air sole unit. Other features include a black midsole, a black inner lining and a script on the back of the tongue which reads, "Engineered to the exact specifications og Ken Griffey Jr." (If you recall, the regular Nike training slogan ends with ‘our athletes’). What are your thoughts on this Air Griffey Max GD II Cool Grey/Black? Click here to view detailed photos.
