Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylor Posted: 21 Feb 2011 12:58 PM PST Continuing their work from their 2010 collaboration, Missoni has teamed up with Converse again this year to create another limited release of the Converse Chuck Taylor. The pairs make use of a variety of vibrant colors in horizontally striped patterns. Creative director Angela Missoni explains the inspiration behind the concept by saying “We decided to use vibrant and pop colours as this evokes summer freshness, positivity and energy." Each shoe in the lineup will be available in limited quantities beginning in March at Missoni boutiques for $200. The unisex shoe will be available in sizes 3 – 13 and the women's shoe will be available in women's sizes 5 – 11.

Nike Hyperdunk 2011 “All-Star” Blake Griffin PE Posted: 21 Feb 2011 12:58 PM PST Blake Griffin currently has one of the highest popularity ratings in the NBA. His power on the court has led to him being one of the most respected young talents in the NBA, and with his 2011 NBA Dunk Contest win on Saturday, all eyes are on Griffin and his development in the next few years. The fame that Griffin has received has led to his very first sneaker and although it’s not a signature sneaker, this particular pair of Nike Hyperdunk 2011s still retains a special look. The upper of the entire shoe is hit with a bright red tone. This is complimented with hints of black on the Swoosh, flywire, heel cup, and midsole. Finishing the pair off in fitting fashion is the use of glow in the dark material on the outsole, heel cup, and ankle panel. Check out more photos below of this extremely detailed pair that has many in awe. Source: insidethesneakerbox © Albert Lin for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |

adidas Originals ZX 789 Lead/Aero Reef Posted: 21 Feb 2011 12:13 PM PST Completing the trifecta of spring ZX 789s is this latest adidas Originals drop, which is landing at retailers now in a proven color scheme. Medium Lead mesh and leather serve together as the majority of this one, while black is used for the midsole and foxing. The real accent work comes from the Aero Reef hue on the outsole, heel cup and other assorted accents. Finally, like with the Running White/Orange and Medium Lead/Electric pairs, a splatter design fills out the three stripes. You can grab a pair now at Nice Kicks and via Shop.NiceKicks.com. adidas Originals ZX 789 Nice Kicks adidas Originals ZX 789 Lead/Aero Reef adidas Originals ZX 789 Lead/Aero Reef adidas Originals ZX 789 Lead/Aero Reef © Alex Kroviak for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |

Video: Bun B Interviews Ray Allen, Chris Paul & Joe Johnson Posted: 21 Feb 2011 11:13 AM PST As a part of this past weekend All-Star activities, Trill OG Bun B sat down with three of Jordan Brand’s top representatives and picked each’s brain on kicks, hoops and upcoming sneakers. Chris Paul gives us a bit of insight on the upcoming CP3.V, though he keeps his lips sealed pretty tight on the details, and Ray Allen opens up about becoming the best 3-point shooter in NBA history, as well as his Air Jordan PE collection. © Alex Kroviak for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |
Nike Dunk Low CL Obsidian/Medium Grey-Stealth Posted: 21 Feb 2011 10:58 AM PST Tumbled leather provides contrast to a fleecy upper on the Nike Dunk Low CL. An Obsidian/Medium Grey-Stealth makeup uses a tri-blend upper atop an obsidian midsole and gum outsole. White lining, medium grey laces, and red tagging add accent to this mostly blue Dunk. These are available now at Nike Store. Nike Dunk Low CL © Ian Stonebrook for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |
Posted: 21 Feb 2011 09:58 AM PST Nike is constantly redesigning and reinventing itself. Today, another example of the philosophy appears in this pair of Nike Blazer Mid AB TZs. From first glance, the pair appears to be your average 1970′s Nike Blazer but upon further examination, the pair incorporates elements of the Nike All Court Low. This pair sports a mid-top cut with all white and all black uppers. Contrast zippers and off-white midsoles can also be seen. However, the big surprise, as mentioned above, is the use of a Nike All Court Low toe cap. This is an element never before seen on a pair of Blazers and one that is sure to create plenty of discussion. Check out another angle below and let us know what you think of this minor change.
