One thing that you can never call any version of the Supra TK Society is understated and this new Supra TK Society Gold/Silver is certainly no exception. These feature a golden and silver upper that we can imagine will shine bright from a great distance away. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Hyperize Ben Gordon PE

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 08:26 PM PST

With all of the trades going on in the NBA as of late, many people simply overlooked the fact that Ben Gordon had been traded to the Detroit Pistons. Nike didn’t though and they have given him his own PE with this new Nike Hyperize Ben Gordon PE. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Trainer 1 Mac Knows

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 08:20 PM PST

While this might be one of the most unexpected PE’s it is for real. This new Nike Trainer 1 Mac Knows is made for none other than Jon McEnroe. The shoe uses gray nubuck and white leather with accents of black and green throughout. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Cradle Rock Low Steve Nash Home

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 08:14 PM PST

The Cradle Rock shares many similarities with the Nike Dunk, but also enough differences to be able to viewed as it’s own separate entity. This new Nike Cradle Rock Low Steve Nash Home of course features a Phoenix Suns colorway, and should work great for light on the feet point guards. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Air Pegasus ‘89 Berlin

Nike Air Pegasus 89 Berlin
Here is a look at the excellent new Nike Air Pegasus ‘89 Berlin. This shoe marvelously combines the colors of black, purple and gray. The splattered pattern on the Swoosh is in reference to the Berlin Wall that the citizens of Germany had torn down, leaiving only broken concrete. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Sportswear Air Zoom Tiempo x Artoo

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 08:01 PM PST

Nike Sportswear Air Zoom Tiempo x Artoo
Nike was privileged to work with track bike enthusiast, Artoo with the Air Zoom Tiempo. Artoo was inspired by the various shapes and paths of tire marks left by riders on the snow, thus bringing up a snow White upper on the sneaker with contrast stitching in Purple, Red, Pink, Teal, Yellow, and Green. 21 Mercer and Nike Berlin will release this biker footwear later this Fall.

Nike Zoom Kobe V Chaos

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 08:01 PM PST

With all the Nike Zoom Kobe releases, sneakerheads still aim for a bigger style that will take their ego to the edge. With this, Nike created the Zoom Kobe V “Chaos” in which a unique design evolves. Starting from the upper, we can see fa oil-like side panel with the Flywire design featuring a Lime Swoosh while the toe and heel areas are wrapped up with Purple patent leather. Going to the sole, it has a Red-speckled White midsole and a Lime outsole. The Nike Zoom Kobe V Chaos will drop on the 26^th of December 2009. [NiceKicks]

Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High Premium

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:38 PM PST

This is the new Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High Premium and it is possibly the best SB Dunk that we have seen so far this season. The shoe is made predominantly of brown suede, with white leather being used around the toe and light blue leather for the swoosh. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Sportswear Talache - Sail/Obsidian

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:31 PM PST

Nike Sportswear Talache Sail/Obsidian
This might be your first time to spot the Nike Sportswear Talache, it is because this model is not as popular as the others. But it features a distinctive Sail/Obsidian-colored upper with Black accent. The textured upper comes in a smooth leather with a rubber sole. [NiceKicks]

Huf x Nike SB Blazer Mid Premium

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:30 PM PST

This is the new Huf x Nike SB Blazer Mid Premium and there is good reason to be excited over this shoe. It is not hard to see that this sneaker takes a lot of inspiration from the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star with it’s 100% canvas upper and vulcanized sole. [SoleRedemption]

etnies Plus Jameson

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:26 PM PST

We have already seen one pair of blue suede shoes today, but we have another pack of which half is a blue suede shoe as well. The etnies Plus Jameson is a chunky skate shoe that won’t appeal to everyone, but for those that it does, one shoe will have a blue suede upper while the other will have a gray leather upper. [NiceKicks]

Nike Terminator High Premium Brown/Red

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:21 PM PST

This is the new Nike Terminator High Premium Brown/Red which would make a great shoe for winter as it probably won’t get too scuffed up or dirty. The upper is made of entirely brown premium leather, and features a stitched swoosh, red laces, white midsole and black outsole.

Vans Authentic Neon Pack

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:09 PM PST

It seems like kind of a strange time of year to release this new Vans Authentic Neon Pack, as it seems much more suited to a Spring time pack, but what can you do? The pack consits of three Vans Authentic sneakers, one in blue, one in orange and one in yellow. [SoleRedemption]

Nike Air Force 1 Low Paul Pierce

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 10:01 PM PST

This is the new Nike Air Force 1 Low Paul Pierce and just as you would expect with a shoe for Paul Pierce, it is done up in a Celtics colorway. The shoes feature black nubuck, white perforated leather and green leather on the toe. What do you guys think of these? [SoleRedemption]

Nike SB Stefan Janoski Blue

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 09:57 PM PST

Stefan Janoski is back again today with a new shoe for you guys. This is the new Nike SB Stefan Janoski Blue, and although these are made entirely of blue suede on the upper, we don’t think this is quite what Elvis was singing about. They also feature leather laces, which are a very nice finishing touch. [SoleRedemption]

Vans Chukka Boot Vapor Blue

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Many of you have been pleased with the upcoming fall/winter releases from Vans including the Del Barco LX and the Switchback. In addition, Vans has just unleashed a new colorway of the Chukka Boot.

This particular Chukka Boot is obviously different from the previous pairs seeing that it does not contain any shades of brown, olive green or black (the usual fall/winter colors). Instead, this Chukka Boot features a 100% vapor blue base combined with a vulcanized rubber sole and shoelaces of the same color. It is now available at Vans’s online store for $60.

STLN RCHS x Reebok Pump

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 12:28 PM PST

The next in the long line of Reebok Pump collabs is the only one we’ll get from our neighbors to the north. Toronto’s Stolen Riches has worked up their own take on the classic Reebok as a part of the 20th anniversary celebration.

The Canadian crew wanted to create a limited edition sneaker that could actually be worn; in bad weather no less. Having been built to battle the Toronto winter weather, the uppers on these have been Teflon treated to resist snow and water, and are charcoal with grey pinstripes. If you can see pass the tags, the white midsole sits on a “Black Ice” outsole and charcoal grey accents appear throughout.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen a plethora of Reebok Pump collaborations including the Hanon x Reebok Pump, the Bodega x Reebok Pump and the Sneakersnstuff x Reebok Pump, just to name a few. In addition, we now have a second look at Solebox x Reebok collaboration for the Reebok PUMP 20 Program.

It possesses a predominately a black leather upper with multiple yellow accents in the form of the laceholders, the elastic shoelaces and the infamous PUMP logo on the tongue. It also owns minimal grey details on the tongue and heel panel. Which sneaker from the PUMP 20 Program interests you the most so far? Click here to view the additional photos

Nike Cradle Rock Low Steve Nash “Home”

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 11:28 AM PST

A hit or miss with many of you, the Cradle Rock Low has been compared to the Nike Dunk by many, but with the advantage of being created for a point guard with some of the fleetest feet in the NBA. In fact, we saw Steve Nash wearing these exact Cradle Rocks in Kicks on Court yesterday.

This particular pair uses a white leather makeup for the upper, mixing in purple accents on the stitching, outsole and Swoosh. The tongue and heel tab are both done with a purple and black flannel, while orange eyelets finish off the Suns colorway. The Kobe IV started the low-top hoops shoe craze. Could the Cradle Rock Low keep it going strong?

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 10:58 AM PST

Lately, adidas has applied an NBA theme to some of its classic silhouettes including the Originals "NBA Western Conference" Pack and the Superstar "LA Lakers". However, they have now added a very unique theme to some of its classic models in an upcoming pack.

The five sneakers involved in the “Five-Two 3 Plants” Pack include the Nizza Hi, Samba, Forum Mid, Stan Smith and the Superstar. Each sneaker incorporated features a subtle, white, scaly base combined with a sole and shoelaces of the same color. However, its inspirational accents include a brown outsole (representing the Earth’s soil and the flower-like adidas sign on the tongue. No word yet on when this shoe will release; meanwhile, click here to view detailed photos.

Nike Trainer 1 “Mac Knows”

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 10:28 AM PST

Just yesterday we showed you Bo’s Trainer 1, and now we get a look at one designed for maybe the most outspoken personality in the history of sports–John McEnroe. You may be saying to yourself, “Johnny Mac gets a PE? You cannot be serious!” But serious we are, as Nike’s changed up the “Chlorophyll” colorway up a bit and made a few changes to it, dedicating this to the first guy to make it okay to put “tennis” and “fun to watch” in the same sentence.

For this particular sneaker, Nike uses grey nubuck and white leather, accented throughout with bits of black on the midsole and forefoot. Lime green accents throughout brighten up the colorway a bit. Near the heel we saw a silhouette of McEnroe, while the tongue tab reads “Mac Knows.” Completing the shoe is the tennis ball-inspired insole. Look for these sometime this month.

Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos”

Posted: 03 Nov 2009 09:58 AM PST

From December 2008 up until now, we have seen almost every colorway you can think of on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. It was obviously one of the most innovative sneakers ever produced from Nike Basketball, and it was well-received by both basketball players and non-basketball players (it was voted Best Signature Sneaker in our Kicks On Court Awards). However, there comes a point in time when the average sneaker enthusiasts wants to see something different. Therefore, Nike has answered our cries by confirming the upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe V sneaker.

On December 26th, 2009, Nike will unleash the first colorway of the Kobe V dubbed the “Chaos”. If you recall, Nike unveiled a “Chaos” colorway of the Kobe IV at the beginning of this year. This Kobe V possesses a multi-colored upper consisting of foil-like side panels, a lime-colored swoosh, red/black shoelaces, a purple patent leather toe area and a heel panel and toe area of the same color. It is also finished with a lime outsole and a white/red speckled midsole. As for the overall design, the Kobe V owns a similar, low-cut design of the Kobe IV, yet, its collar and heel panel section seems more fit for ankle support. Click here to view detailed photos. What’s your thought on the Nike Zoom Kobe V?
