Air Jordan 7 DMP 60+ Pack

Posted: 06 Aug 2009 01:53 PM PDT

Jordan 7 DMP 60+ PackMichael Jordan had a number of great games throughout his career.  Whether it was hitting a game winning shot, hitting a clutch 3-pointer, or pulling out a defensive stop when his team needed it, you name it, Mike did it.

One of the most memorable performances by Michael Jordan came on January 16, 1993 when the Chicago Bulls played host to the Orlando Magic.  MJ’s 64 point game wasn’t quite enough to win the match, but his outstanding performance will be honored with the release of the Air Jordan 7 DMP 60+ Pack.

MJ wore the Air Jordan 7 and thus represented in this pack is a “Bulls” and “Magic” colorway.  The Black/Red colorway was the one MJ wore while the other pair is inspired by the Orlando Magic colors and include such details as the tongue of the Nike Air Penny 1 and a veiny detail on the midsole which ties back to the swoosh of the Nike Air Penny 1.

The release date of this pack has been officially pushed up to release August 15th for $310.

Parra x Nike Air Maxim 1

Posted: 06 Aug 2009 11:41 AM PDT

Parra x Nike Air Maxim 1Parra has been doing his thing lately as he has been promiscuously pairing up with footwear giants such as Nike and Vans. The focal point of this Nike Air Maxim 1 resides in the speckled midsole which aesthetically functions as a frame around the air bubble and additionally aids in illuminating the shoe’s two-tone contrast stitching. The two-tone motif extends to the laces allowing for them to connect the prevailing black upper with the accent of the teal eyelets. Lastly, customized tongue tags and insoles display Parra’s designs.

Surprise, surprise, today's round of CSS is both Nike and Jordan dominated. But just because celebrities seem to be big fans of the swoosh and jumpman, doesn't mean they're not wearing any other footwear, (check Fabolous in the Cultureshoq x Asics Gel Lyte IIIs).

Besides F-A-B-O check below to see young rappers Kid Cudi, Wale, The Cool Kids, and Lil Wayne laced up. Hit up the comments and let us know who's crushing this time around.

Vans “Off The Wall” Pack

Posted: 05 Aug 2009 10:52 AM PDT

Vans

As we continue to impatiently wait for the Vans City Pack to surface on shelves, Vans continues to supply us with fresh, solid releases throughout the year. With that said, photos of the Vans “Off The Wall” Pack have now surfaced on the web.

Just off of its theme, this pack has to be one of the better releases from Vans this year. It features six well-recognized Vans models in their original colorways. Specifically, three colorways of the Era and one original colorway of the Slip On, Old Skool ‘77 and Mid Skool ‘77 are incorporated in this pack. However, one of the more interesting features is that each shoe comes in a special Off The Wall box that contains vintage photos and a slogan that reads, “The World's First Skateboard Shoes". Click here to view the pack in its entirety.

Nike Lunaracer+

Posted: 05 Aug 2009 10:00 AM PDT

Nike Lunaracer

Lately, the Nike Lunaracer has been seen on a couple of occasions: it was a part of the LIVESTRONG Nike x Stages Collection and on rapper/producer Pharrell’s feet at a recent venue. In addition, Nike has released five new colorways of the Lunaracer model at select retailers such as Dunk.

Each colorway contains a predominately neutral grey base mixed with a vibrant colored sole. To coincide with the latter area, this shoe also possesses a colored flywire design located on the side panels. Other features include a black swoosh, white shoelaces and a white inner lining. As we continue to see the flywire application being used over and over (Kobe IV, Hyperdunk etc.), could this be the Nike’s darling design on future sneakers? Click here to view additional photos.

Air Jordan Fusion 13 White/Black-Varsity Red

Posted: 05 Aug 2009 09:12 AM PDT

Air Jordan Fusion 13

The Air Jordan Fusion 13 has been drug through the dirt since it first surfaced on the web. It is safe to say this is currently the most hated fusion to appear yet. Could additional, detailed photos do it any justice?

This particular fusion draws inspiration from the Air Jordan 13 White/True Red-Black that MJ played in during his last season with the Chicago Bulls. However, many sneaker enthusiasts may remember this inline product sneaker on Ray Allen Jesus Shuttlesworth in the infamous movie ‘He Got Game’ more than they do on Jordan’s feet in the 1997-98 season. While that particular shoe is considered a classic by many, what are we to think of this UFO? No word yet on when this shoe will officially release, however, if you are one of those who cannot wait for it to drop, Marquee Sole now has it in stock for a hefty price. Click here to view additional photos.

Nike Sportswear Blazer Mid Supreme TZ

Posted: 05 Aug 2009 08:16 AM PDT

Nike Blazer

Recently, the Nike Blazer has been involved in a couple of inspiration packs including the Nike "Grade School" Pack and the Nike Blazer Hi "Bo Jackson". However, using a more subtle, vintage look, Nike will soon release the Sportswear Blazer Mid Supreme TZ.

At a first glance, it is obvious that this is not your basic, everyday Nike Blazer style. For example, the traditional stitched swoosh has been replaced by this perforated swoosh outline design. The entire base is smothered in white leather along with metallic gold embroidery throughout the upper. Nonetheless, the Blazer is a classic seeing that it was Nike’s first basketball shoe ever (1973). Look for this particular to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers soon.
