SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 12:28 PM PDT

Russian artist, SSUR, has teamed up Converse this Summer to produce one of the most simple and clean pairs of Pro Leather 76 Hi’s that we have seen in recent time. Over a month ago, initial photos of the SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi surfaced and reactions were positive. The pair features an all black premium suede upper, crackled leather lace eyelets, laces, midsole, and outsole. Gold accents, used on the tongue, heel tab, and lace locks, add a nice touch to this collaboration. This pair is now available at Havenshop.

In Retrospect: LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 11:28 AM PDT

LIVESTRONG x Nike

Obviously, the LIVESTRONG x Nike Collection has been coming on strong as of late seeing that we spotted two new installments just yesterday (see LIVESTRONG x Nike Bruin & LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Mid TZ). Who else is reminded of last summer’s LIVESTRONG x Nike onslaught. In attempt to help you remember more, we have highlighted the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 in today’s In Retrospect.

A year ago today, the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 released at select Nike Sportswear retailers nationwide. Were you lucky enough to get your hands on this sneaker and was it worth the $150? If you did not pursue this Air Force 1, are you wishing you would have now? Lastly, was it one of, if not the best Air Force 1 release of 2009? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Nike Air Force 1 Black/Metallic Silver “3M”

Posted: 23 Jul 2010 02:58 PM PDT

Few silhouettes can remain relevant for nearly three decades.  How is this accomplished?  A classic design and fresh colorways.  The Nike Air Force 1 Black/Metallic Silver “3M” is exactly that.  The timeless low top AF1 finds itself dressed in an all black leather upper with metallic silver accents and a metallic silver outsole.  A reflective 3M Swoosh jumps off the black backdrop making it a standout in the summer sun.  This pair can be found at select stores with Nike Sportswear accounts including Nice Kicks in Austin, TX.

Posted: 23 Jul 2010 01:58 PM PDT

Nike Dunk High AC PerforatedJust a few days ago we learned that the Air Force 1 and Dunk High AC that match the Toki that released this year would be releasing this weekend. It looks like Nike jumped the gun on itself though, as the Dunk is now available at Nike Store.

White perforated leather covers the upper completely, with the exception of the Swoosh. A Soft Grey stripe separates the upper and textured autoclave sole.
