Jordan Hallowed Ground Low "Chicago" Retro inspired Team Jordan’s have done good on their own but usually do best when donning an OG inspired colorway. JB follows the formula on the Jordan Hallowed Ground Low “Chicago”. Using color blocking reminiscent of the Air Jordan 10 “Chicago”, this Hallowed Ground makeup sports a white leather upper intersected by black suede. Red accents pop up on the upper and outsole with an all white 23 embroidered on the back. What are your thoughts on this pair? Tell us in the comment section.

New Balance 580 GORE-TEX Flight Jacket Dark Brown

Following the Green/Orange New Balance 580 GORE-TEX “Flight Jacket” we showed you at the top of last week, we now have learned that the Dark Brown New Balance 580 GORE-TEX “Flight Jacket” is now available at select spots overseas. Ripstop nylon/leather, along with a full GORE-TEX membrane, make up this shoe’s texture makeup. As for the color scheme, Dark Brown is offset by Dark Orange contrast stitching. To coincide with this element, this shoe also contains a Dark Orange inner lining. Another one of the more interesting features on this shoe is the inner tongue lining which contains a white, wool-like material. View detailed photos below.

adidas adiZero Rose White/Black-Red

Posted: 30 Aug 2010 10:28 AM PDT

Over the weekend we saw the adidas adiZero Rose for the first time. The comment section displayed mixed emotions on the initial unveiling with all happy that D. Rose was getting his own shoe but not everyone digging the design. New pictures have leaked of a White/Black-Red colorway that show the model in a more flattering viewpoint. A white perforated upper is complimented by a black midsole and black ankle straps with red branding and accents all over the shoe. Does this second look change your first impression?

Nike Wii Air Max 93 by Nick Marsh

Posted: 30 Aug 2010 08:58 AM PDT

Nike Wii Air Max 93 Months ago the Nike 78 project was created. The concept involved Nike sending shoes to 78 different artists with the assignment of altering the shoe to do something it wasn’t originally created to do. One of the standout entries came from Nick Marsh in the form of the Nike Wii Air Max 93. The famous runner was deconstructed and reassembled to be compatible with the popular Nintendo Wii. While we have seen many gaming system inspired shoes before we’ve never seen a functional model. Check out the video and additional pictures and let us know what you think of this idea.
