Posted: 21 Jul 2010 11:07 PM PDT

Vans Authentic & Slip On   Glitch Checker Pack
To complete the Fall 2010 collection, Vans came up with another set of Authentic and Slip-On models in a very updated design. Drawing inspiration from today’s digital graphics, the Glitch Checker Pack appears to have pixilated checkboard pattern all over the upper. The Authentic is presented in Black/White colorway while White/Black, Blue, and Green with Yellow/Black inner liner were the colorways for the Slip-On. Both models own White vulcanized rubber sole. Check these glitches at Vans retail shops.

PF Flyers Drake

Posted: 22 Jul 2010 12:28 PM PDT

PF Flyers Drake

The chukka is only growing in popularity, so it’s only fitting that PF Flyers has chosen September as the ideal time to release this new model that draws cues from the classic chukka shape. Notice the shape and styling of the Drake’s midfoot.

Sporting a low-cut silhouette and sitting on a sneaker sole, the Drake is constructed with full-grain leather and set to release in two colorways. A black upper sits on a white sole and a brown upper rests over a tan sole. Contrasting laces on each pair add a certain level of “sneakerness” to an otherwise refined model.

Footwear Faceoff: Ludacris vs Flo Rida

Posted: 22 Jul 2010 11:58 AM PDT

Footwear Faceoff

One rapper questions “How Low” can you go, while the other rapper simply commands you to get “Low”. However, one of these dirty south rappers will have to rise above the other in today’s Footwear Faceoff. Earlier this week, Ludacris was spotted rocking the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12, a sneaker that last released at the end of 2008 (Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack). On the other hand, Flo Rida was spotted at Alonzo Mourning’s annual Summer Groove rocking the “Toro Bravo” Air Jordan 5 Black. Which one of these rappers wore the better Air Jordan retro sneaker?

Todd Bratrud x Nike SB Dunk "Brain Wreck"

Nike SB released a very coveted, Todd Bratrud-assisted Dunk Hi dubbed the “Brain Wreck” last October. Many of you failed to get your hands on these considering its low quantity. However, you will now get a second chance at the “Brain Wreck” SB Dunk as Todd Bratrud had made 50 pairs of his personal collection of this sneaker during Comic Con in San Diego at BLENDS today!

In an attempt to refresh your memory, the Nike SB Dunk “Brain Wreck” contains a grey/fuschia suede construction with the word ‘Brain’ written on the heel of the left and the word ‘Wreck’ written on the heel of the right sneaker. Other features include a santeen tongue, a brain-stitched inner lining and a grey outsole. With this purchase, one will also receive package of relevant accessories (first 49 buyers and one raffle winner). Proceeds from this limited release will benefit The Keep A Breast Foundation.

Todd Bratrud x Nike SB Dunk “Brain Wreck” Re-Relase Benefit will take place today from 6PM-9PM, and Todd Bratrud himself will be in attendance. Raffle tickets will be available at the beginning of the event for $5.  Not in San Deigo?  You can still take part and donate by clicking here.

PUMA Sky Hi+ “The List” Pack

Posted: 22 Jul 2010 10:58 AM PDT

PUMA Sky

A taller tongue, single strap, and thicker midsole make the PUMA Sky Hi+ a standout, revamped version of the popular Sky Hi.  Premium materials including reptile leather, ripstop nylon, leather, and suede are passed around to create “The List” pack.  Perhaps with the intention to create a hi top that is suitable for chic nightlife, “The List” pack packages together five inspiring takes on the classic Sky Hi.  Look for these to release internationally at select retailers such as Schuh-You around October and stay tuned to Nice Kicks for info on a US release.

Vans California Era “Canvas & Leather” White/Sheepskin

Posted: 22 Jul 2010 10:43 AM PDT

Vans California Era "Canvas & Leather" White/Sheepskin

The first installment of the Vans California “Canvas & Leather” Pack featured two sets of Zapato Del Barcos and Eras. We should have known it wasn’t complete when we saw the release of a fifth shoe in the White/Sheepskin Zapato Del Barco. It turns out that an Era was designed to match that colorway. White canvas is used for upper, while Sheepskin leather is used on the tongue and heel. Red plaid lines the inside of this pair, which should be at your retailer now or in the very near future.

New Balance Pro Collection

Posted: 22 Jul 2010 10:28 AM PDT

New Balance Pro

New Balance has released a number of exquisite sneakers this year including the “Desert Storm” 1500, the “Covent Garden” Pack and the “Sonic Weld” Pack. However, New Balance will go in a totally different direction by unleashing its Pro Collection this fall/winter season.

The New Balance Pro Collection consists of two New Balance Pro high-tops and two low-cut Pro sneakers. The high-tops, shown above, feature 100% canvas-textured constructions with old-fashioned, vintage hints such as the sole and the New Balance logo on the side panels. The low-cut New Balance Pros feature the same design scheme and come in colors such as black and white. Lastly, the white pairs (both Hi and Low) contain some form of blue New Balance branding on the heel tab. Look for this collection to surface soon.
