Travis Pastrana’s DC Shoes Bike

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 12:28 PM PST

Travis Pastrana's DC Shoes Bike

DC Shoes’ resident expert on motocross, skydiving and all around shenanigans added a new meaning to “burning rubber” lately, as he had his dirtbike rigged in a very special fashion. Both wheels of his bike were given special one-off wheels treaded with DC Shoes, making up for the lack of regular tires.

In the video after the jump, you can see the process by which these are made, and watch Pastrana give these the ultimate torture test. The stunt was designed and filmed for MTV’s Nitro Circus and also a DC ad running now. Travis proclaims that DCs are “the only shoe [he rides],” but it’s fair to say that even he didn’t fully understand how true that statement could prove to be.

Jordan Blasé Mid

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 11:28 AM PST

Jordan Blase Mid

It may be a few days late to make our “All Black Everything” Buyer’s Guide, but this Blasé Mid is next up in Jordan’s non-performance lineup of sneakers. Then again, this colorway may not have made it, if only for the slight red accents throughout.

The toe area and heel section are both dressed in premium black leather, while the mid-panel is done with a woven textile. The tongue and strap are both dressed in matching leather, as well. Red is used on the lace eyelets, tongue Jumpman logo and the stitching on the all-black sole. These are available now at select retailers.

Air Jordan 1 Metallic Gold & Navy

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 10:28 AM PST

Air Jordan 1 Metallic Gold

Jordan Brand has taken a lot of flack from enthusiasts for the overwhelming amount of AJ1s releasing in the last year or so. And while the 1 may be the Jordan Dunk these days, a lot of the new colorways are different from other sneakers we’ve seen, including these navy and gold metallic colorways.

Available now, both of these Air Jordan 1s rely on their material and color choice for their designs, as they maintain single-shade uppers. The metallic gold pair is actually reflective, broken up with grey laces and a grey tongue label, while white is used for the liner and midsole. For the navy blue pair, the patent leather contains a metallic flake you can see when you look super close. The liner is a slightly lighter shade of blue, while the midsole breaks up the blue.

Click here to check both pairs.

Pete Wentz x Supra Vaider

The Fall Out Boy guitarist has been seen in Supras for some time now. We even saw him with an early pair of burgundy TK Societys not too long ago. And to celebrate his association and appreciation for the their brand, Supra has awarded Pete with the opportunity to collaborate on this Vaider.

A CCS exclusive, these are available now. The uppers on these are a black suede and given a similar treatment to the Wildlife Pack. White discoloration is intentional and appears throughout. The black laces match the tongue, which also uses red as an accent color, matching the heel panel and Supra logo. The sole is done in white with black stripes, as we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from the footwear maker.

Can you see yourself rocking these? Head to the comments section and weigh in.

At the end of October, we notified you of the new addition to the NikeiD Air Max 90 in the in the form of the cracked leather design. Although some of you jumped at the chance to create a 1 of 1 Air Max 90, other sneaker enthusiasts would rather let Nike do all of the design work for you.

Marcus Jordan’s Jordans Cost UCF adidas Contract

Posted: 05 Nov 2009 10:28 AM PST

adidas has responded to the controversy surrounding Marcus Jordan’s decision to only wear Jordan Brand on the hardwood by cutting ties with the University of Central Florida short. The contract, which is in its final year of a five-year deal, will be preemptively ended following Marcus’ choice to wear the AJ12 “Rising Sun” in an exhibition win last night.

According to ESPN and the AP, “‘The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to adidas,’ adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. ‘As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward.’”

We covered the Marcus Jordan controversy in-depth recently, but it looks like adidas has finally drawn the issue to a close. Is this what you expected to see go down in Florida? Consider that Marcus made it clear he intended to wear Jordans to honor his family name when being recruited and was assured it would not be a issue.

Air Jordan XIV “MJ Motorsports”

Posted: 04 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Air Jordan XIV "MJ Motorsports"

After seeing yesterday’s in-depth look at the Air Jordan 6 Rings “MJ Motorsports,” and the AJ6 Retro “MJ Motorsports” just before that, it’s no surprise that demand for more information is at its peak. And with that being said, we present you with this Air Jordan XIV “MJ Motorsports” Unreleased Sample.

If these were to ever release, they would definitely make our “All Black Everything” Buyer’s Guide from yesterday, as they’re draped in black suede and sit on an all black mid- and outsole. Overall, these are very similar to a black upper version of the AJXIV Light, thanks to the material choice. On the inner side we can really see what makes these “Motorsports” PEs, as the circled 23 and Jumpman logos appear. If you recall from the above post on the 6s and 6 Rings, these circular logos are modeled after te number plate and logos on the team motorcycles.

Nike Trainer 1 "New York"

A game away from yet another World Series championship, the Yankees are one of the most successful franchises ever, in any sport. And to pay tribute to their success, past and present, Nike has put together this Trainer 1, which will be available this month.

Using a mixture of navy blue nubuck and white leather on the upper, these are a perfect match for your Yankees fitted.

On the tongue labels, pinstripes are used, as with the insoles, where the retired jersey numbers of Yankees greats are also seen. The heel panels, where the Trainer 1 usually reads “Nike,” instead reads “New” and “York” on separate shoes.

Converse Wade 1.0 Vulcanized

Posted: 04 Nov 2009 10:58 AM PST

Converse Wade 1.0 Vulcanized

Nike got the sports sole-turned-vulcanized movement moving with its AC series, and it looks like little brother Converse was on the same track when they whipped up these Wade 1.0 samples.

Donning a greyscale colorway, these sit on a white vulcanized sole. Red is used as an accent throughout, appearing on the liner and the slats in between color panels along the side and for contrast stitching. Wade’s Converse logo appears on the tongues, which are mismatched at this point in the design process.

This is probably yet another sample that is dead in the water, but would you grab some if they ever made it to production? Head to the comments section and let us know.

Nike Blue Chip II Caron Butler & Jermaine O'Neal PE

With all the hype behind the Air Max LeBron VII and the Team Bank editions of the Zoom Soldier III and Zoom Kobe IV, the Nike Blue Chip II has gone overlooked. But for this upcoming season, Miami Heat Jermaine O’Neal and Washington Wizard Caron Butler will be sporting their own PEs.

Caron’s uses a mix of black and white leather, while blue is used as an accent along the midsole and also on the laces and Swoosh, which uses the Wizards’ gold for an outline. Jermaine’s BCII gets bright red patent leather around the bottom, with black leather near the laces. A white Swoosh and midsole accent complete the Heat colorway.

Click here to check out both players’ PEs in detail and keep an eye on Kicks On Court to see these in action.
