adidas Etrusco "Hemp" Black/Running White
The Etrusco may share its name with a World Cup soccer ball, but this adidas sneak is far from confined to use by our feet-first friends. With a reinforced toe box, fixie fan and skaters should fawn over this undeniably clean silo. And that's in addition to casual kicks fans and collectors. This new drop utilizes a black suede and hemp upper with an offsetting Running White heel tab and leather stripes. For detailing, a Forest green Trefoil logo peaks out from behind the former. Pick up a pair now at Nice Kicks or Shop.NiceKicks.com now for $75.

Air Jordan 5 Quai 54 Black

Air Jordan 5 Quai 54 Black

You thought the Air Jordan 5 “Quai 54″ was going to be hard to get? That release pales in comparison to this ultra limited black pair, which was just revealed via Clark Kent’s Twitter. According to the Super DJ, only 54 pairs exist, and he was was one of the lucky few to snag his own. Like the aforementioned kicks, this pair relies on bright green accents throughout and displays a Quai 54 logo on the foxing. This pair utilizes a black nubuck upper though, as opposed to one of white leather. With its ultra limited production numbers and no foreseeable release in sight, this pair sneaker will probably have to stay in your dreams and not on your feet.

Nike All Court Low "Matte Silver"

Perfect for the upcoming summer season, Nike has brought back the Nike All Court Low in a new and never-before-seen colorway. Sporting a canvas upper, this particular colorway of the All Court Low features a predominately “matte silver” upper. A white vulcanized midsole and rubber toe-cap, as well as black piping and inner liner, add just the right amount of contrast to this pair. Look for this pair at most Nike retailers including the California based Darkside store.

Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Volt/White-Black

Though the Hyperdunk legacy is only entering its third generation, it's already secured its spot as one of the best hoops sneaker legacies in history. From lightweight construction to proven performance characteristics, the genealogy of the Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 is more than impressive. Boasting Zoom cushioning, a mostly Flywire upper and arguably the most visual appeal in the line, 2011's Hyperdunk looks to be more than prepared to live up to its forefathers.
