Complex’s Number 1 Sneaker of the 2000’s on eBay

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 12:58 PM PDT

Complex's Number 1 Sneaker of the 2000's on eBay

Not too long ago, Complex assembled a list of the 100 Best Sneakers of the 2000s. Of course there was controversy, with feelings being hurt and collections upping value. The top prize went to the UNDFTD x Air Jordan 4, of which only 72 were ever made, and it took lottery-winner like luck to get your hands on.

If you’ve been after a pair since they dropped, or at least since the list did, a pair is now available on eBay. They’re a size 12, and come in the UDFTD x incase zip-bag through seller fearlessbimmer. With a $6500 buy-it-now price, it will take lottery winner-like scratch to make them your own this time around.

Click here to see some pics.

Nike Air Max 95 Black/Shadow Grey Snakeskin

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 12:28 PM PDT

Nike Air Max 95

Last month, we informed you of two classic Air Max 95 colorway, including the “Comet” and the “Slate”, that are expected to drop some time in 2010. Although not as classic as the those colorways, we have spotted another Air Max 95 that will release during the spring of 2010.

This particular Air Max 95 features a black/shadow grey colorway; however, one of the more distinctive features on this shoe is the snakeskin texture design seen on the side panels. Other features include a black visible Air sole unit, an off-white midsole and black/white shoelaces. For now, click here to view detailed photos.

Supra Vaider for Fall

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 11:58 AM PDT

Supra Vaider for Fall

Yesterday we gave you a look at the newest Skytop and TK Society color-ups, and now we’ve got a look at that other Supra model, the Vaider, in three new colors, all of which are available now. We all got a sneak peek of two of these awhile back as part of the Holiday ‘09 Supra Releases, but fresh in are these detailed photos, which add the aforementioned third colorway to the lineup.

Red and black suede are used on the first pair, with the latter making up a majority of of the upper. The heel, tongue and underside, use the red hue for accent. Not quite as mach blue shows up on the next release, as the bright blue is used for the piping around rear flap. The toe is leather on this one, and bits of grey suede are added in. The third releases comes in a TUF variation, dressed in gunmetal completely, including the vulcanized sole–a break from traditional Supra drops and the other two sneakers in this group.

If the other silhouettes didn’t do it for you, do these Vaiders? Click here for more pics.

Under Armour Protype

Ever since we showed you the black/black colorway of the Under Armour Prototype, the majority of you fell in love with this new silhouette. Upon unleashing its first photos, it was stated that this sneaker was not releasing at all; however, we have just received word that the Under Armour Prototype is presumably set to release some time in 2011.

Since its first photos surfaced on the web, we have spotted a few more colorways and a commercial featuring Under Armour signee Brandon Jennings. Although he is supposedly, the only basketball player signed to the brand, expect more to follow before Under Armour’s debut on the basketball scene in 2011.

Nike Blazer Hi “Count Dracula”

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 10:28 AM PDT

Nike Blazer

In mid-September, we showed you a visibly-challenged photo of this Nike Blazer Hi “Count Dracula”, and many of you stated that it would be a definite purchase without even seeing a full photo of them. However, in regards to now showing you the entire shoe, is it still a must-have for you?

Obviously, judging by its nickname, this particular Blazer will hit retailers around Halloween. It features a predominately white base with a red splatter design that smothers the side panels. In addition, it features grey and cream-colored accents on the upper as well. As stated earlier, expect this shoe to surface in the near future.

Nike Blazer Mid “Blaze Out”

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 09:58 AM PDT

Nike Blazer Mid "Blaze Out"

The last week has seen more than a handful of nice Blazer Mids, and Nike doesn’t look to be slowing down. Whether a simple color-up change, like this SB in aqua marine suede, or a real mix-up, like the “Chuck Taylor” Mid, good things are going on for this silhouette. This newest Blazer leans towards the Chuck, as the Blazer Mid “Blaze Out” gives this sneaker a completely new design treatment.

The front half is constructed from leather like we often see, but the rear half is made from a dark red, shiny nylon. Moving away from the big Swoosh design, these feature a smaller Swoosh in black near the heel. The rear ankle tab is made of leather matching the front half and toe. New touches include the rear orange Swoosh tab on the heel section.

Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III OSU & Akron PEs

Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III OSU & Akron PEs

LeBron may not have gone to college, but his sneakers seem to end up there every season. The Ohio State great-that-never-was is paying tribute to the Buckeyes with this Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III PE. And while there was no chance he would have ever ended up at Akron, the Zips get their own PEs too.

The Ohio State PEs are essentially the Team Soldier IIIs with OSU logos, like the “O” on the lower strap. The accent piece separating the sole from the upper has also been changed to black from silver. The Akron PEs’ patent leather toe and side pieces are navy blue, and the entire shoe uses gold accents and contrast stitching. Their logo also appears on the lower strap.

Allegiances aside, how do these Soldier PEs stack up against some of Nike’s other offerings? Head to the comments section and weigh in.

The last announcement showed you the TUF Grey and charcoal, which Supra is officially calling Gunny Black, and now you can add a Gunny White to the mix. Adding to the wild colorways we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, including the Thriller-esque red and black patent leather we saw recently, are these blue, grey and black sneakers. The all-white TUFs feature the same matte-finish textile material as the two we’ve seen before. For the black and blues, grey suede is used on the mid-panel, white leather finishes it up.

Nike Air Pegasus ‘89 Black/White

Posted: 05 Oct 2009 09:58 AM PDT

Nike Air Pegasus '89 Black/White

As far as Nike’s classic running silhouettes go, the Air Pegasus doesn’t quite get the love that the Air Max 1 or Air Max 95 get, but this newest black and white colorway is out to show that simplicity will never go out of style.

As the 20 year celebration of the Pegasus’ introduction winds down, Nike has rolled out quite a few colorways including this one in a White/Black-Grey. This one comes in a near-reverse scheme, using black as the mainstay color instead. Suede, leather and mesh make up the upper, with a white swoosh and midsole for contrast. These are about as simple as it gets, but with Fall upon us and Winter approaching, it’s nice to have a pair to get dirty when the weather gets nasty. For those interested, there are available now at select retailers.

Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art

Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art
Like most artist, the maker of the Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art made something unique out of the legendary pair of sneakers. Destroying something means creating another marvelous arts-based form. Artist Krupky designed a dummy air plane where he used the upper on the wings, soles as the cabin, and the lace holders look like jet afterburners. This creation is the final part of the Doernbecher Collection which proceeds will be given to the children’s hospital. [NiceKicks]

Nike Hyperize Pau Gasol PE

Posted: 02 Oct 2009 02:28 PM PDT

Nike Hyperize

If you look at the sneaker before reading the title, you are probably thinking this has something to do with Kobe Bryant and rightfully so. However, in an attempt to leave the Kobe IV carousel for a little bit, we have now spotted a Pau Gasol PE in the form of a Nike Hyperize model.

Obviously, this sneaker features a multiple hints of purple and gold to coincide with the Los Angeles Lakers jerseys. The flywire design, tongue and outsole are done up in purple, while the swoosh, shoelaces come in gold. Also, this sneaker will more than likely be the ‘Home’ version seeing that it possesses a predominance of white leather. If you like the Hyperize Pau Gasol PE, it will be available for retail in November. Click here to view detailed photos.
