Footwear Flashback: Andre Iguodala Wears Foamposite in Rookie Challenge Posted: 07 Feb 2011 01:51 PM PST 
Breaking out a choice pair of retros on court always deserves props, but breaking out OGs is virtually unheard of. Back in 2005 a then rookie Andre Iguodala was looking to make a splash in his first All-Star weekend facing off against a sophomore team led by LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade. While the star studded soph team was laced in their new sigs and PEs, Iggy stole the show in a pair of original the Nike Air Foamposite One. The origin of this pair is still unknown. At the time the Foamposite One had not been retroed and would not come out again until 2007. It’s unlikely that these were samples two years ahead of their time and in a size 17. Legend has it Iguodala’s alma matter Arizona has an unreal equipment room with loads of heat. Where did he get them? We may never know.

Taka Hayashi for Vans Vault Sk8-Hi LX Honey Posted: 07 Feb 2011 01:13 PM PST 
Taka Hayashi’s work for Vans Vault is always unique, original an unlike anything else on the market. His latest Sk8-Hi LX is no different. An ostrich skin panel wraps around the backside of the sneaker and touches both sides of the midfoot, holding the leather laces in place. The tweed-like material used for the toe and forefoot area meets a like-colored suede collar at the midfoot. Taka’s logo appears on the tongue and heel and his signature toe bumper is used on the off white vulcanized sole, adding the finishing touch to these great kicks. This very limited sneaker is available now at Nice Kicks and via Shop.NiceKicks.com.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! This summer may not be providing international competition for the U.S. to dominate (or at least do better than in past years), but Nike’s prepared to let you get patriotic all the same. This Air Max Trainer 1+ just landed at Nike Store in a white, Varsity Red and Obsidian color scheme that’s great for hitting the gym or supporting your team. The Varsity Red accents on the outsole, midsole rim and Swoosh outliner are accentuated by the mostly neutral base of white and Obsidian.
