Mike Shinoda x DC Shoes Xander Remix

Posted: 12 May 2009 10:23 AM PDT

Mike Shinoda x DC Shoes Xander Remix

Earlier this month we saw the latest Mike Shinoda x DC Shoes collab, the Xander. Shinoda chose to apply some of his Japanese heritage to this latest makeup.

"When I was young, some people were surprised to find out that I am half Japanese. Growing up, I always looked forward to celebrating each New Year's Day with that side of my family. I love Japanese food and art, so I guess it's no surprise that those things sometimes end up being a part of my work."

The proceeds from sales of the majority of his painted/drawn works go to the Michael K. Shinoda Endowed Scholarship, helping students at the Art Center College of Design in California. "I am happy to say that proceeds from my second Remix Series™ shoe are going towards the scholarship once again,
and that DC Shoes has generously offered to match
this donation dollar for dollar."

Detailed shots after the jump.

Kicks On Court: Is the Soldier III the New Cavs Team Shoe?

Posted: 12 May 2009 09:36 AM PDT

Kicks On Court

Since the 2008-09 NBA playoffs began, LeBron James has been sporting the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III. As the playoffs continue, our Kicks On Court is starting to see more and more of James’s teammates marching forward in the Zoom LeBron Soldier III. With that said, it seems ‘King James’ has a very big influence on some of his teammates not only basketball-wise, but sneaker-wise as well.

In the fourth and final game of the Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers series, Cavs’ guards Delonte West and Mo Williams both hooped in the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III along with ‘King James’. On another note, we even spotted Zydrunas Illgauskas rocking the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II in a black colorway. Can LeBron ultimately influence the entire Cavaliers team to wear the his shoe? Click here to view more kicks worn by Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby, Josh Howard and others.

Jordan Jeter Captain

Jordan Jeter Captain

Now that Major League Baseball is working on their second month of action, Jordan Brand has unveiled the latest Derek Jeter signature shoe, the Jordan Jeter Captain.

As one of baseball’s top players, Jeter has built quite the following. His game speaks for itself, and without all of the debauchery of some of those other “superstars”. The Captain comes in at an extremely light 14 ounces. It features Herringbone and diamond nub traction for grip on any surface. Of course what Jeter shoe would be complete without a visible Max Air Unit, and some traditional Yankee-esque pinstripes. The result is a shoe that matches Jeter’s persona both on and off the field.

The Jordan Jeter Captain is available now at Jordan Retailers for $110.

Parra x Nike Air Max 1

Parra x Nike Air Max 1

On the list of “artists that run the sneaker game” Parra pretty much sits on top as of late. In a relatively short amount of time, we’ve seen him collab with Vans, have his designs applied to the Patta x Asics pack, and also collab with ALIFE and Nike.

The Parra x Nike Air Max 1 recently surfaced on the web. Not much info is available, but the Dutch artist’s graphics are unquestionable. The colorway is very simple compared to his previous works. The Air Max 1 receives a Flywire treatment throughout the side panel. A speckled midsole and Parra’s signature colors can be seen in various places on the classic running shoe.

Nike Air Force 1 '07 LE White/Neutral Grey

However, we have now spotted a general release, limited edition Nike Air Force 1 that has just released at Nike retailers.

This particular Nike Air Force 1 features a 100% white leather base combined with a neutral grey outsole. The only other color on the upper appears on the swoosh (neutral grey also).
