DC LIFE “Please Stand By” Pack

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 01:28 PM PST

DC LIFE "Please Stand By" Pack

Long before the days of digital HD picture, TVs would often lose their signal and revert to an unpleasant multicolor screen of squares of worse, a fuzzy grey effect. While it didn’t make for good viewing, those days make for a great two shoe pack from DC LIFE. Dressed in black suede and leather, this Admiral and Sector 7 are loaded with details on their respective builds. The Admiral’s liner mimicks the aforementioned colored screen and the tongue and ankle display “snowy” panels. The Sector 7 uses a similar design scheme, sans the color blocks, and both sit on icy soles that reveal “Please Stand By” on the underside of each shoe. Both are now available at DCShoes.com.

Duke’s Mason Plumlee Breaks Out OG Jordan

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 12:28 PM PST

Duke's Mason Plumlee Breaks Out OG Jordan

Last night the Duke Blue Devils hosted the Michigan State Spartans in a battle of top ten teams. While the game was incredible with the Blue Devils ultimately outlasting the Spartans it was a sighting on the feet that we’re still thinking about. Mason Plumlee, a starting forward/center for Duke, rocked a pair of Air Jordan 17 White/College Blue. We can only assume that these are originals (no signs of a retro) and can only hope that he brought them in the silver suitcase. Plumlee had a great night posting a double-double and also snatching up 5 steals. Is it the shoes?

Air Jordan 7 “Orion Blue”

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 10:50 AM PST

Air Jordan 7 "Orion Blue"

We haven’t even begun to really get rolling with 2010′s holiday Air Jordan releases and yet somehow we’re already looking ahead to 2011. Part of the spring drops is this Air Jordan 7, which will be the first AJ7 to drop after the Premio “Bin 23″ shoe. White leather covers the upper, while the namesake blue hue appears on the Jumpman logo, midsole, tongue and heel loop. Infrared serves as a secondary accent color on all the same locations, further brightening this retro release. Are you anticipating this future drop or more focused on this season’s sneakers?

Pendleton x Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault Sk8-Hi & Slip-On

Posted: 01 Dec 2010 12:28 PM PST

Pendleton x Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault Sk8-Hi & Slip-On

Taka Hayashi has been cranking out Vans Vault releases for some time now, with recent drops like the Akat LX causing a stir in the comments section. For this December twosome, he worked with Pendleton to mix up the materials on a Sk8-Hi and Slip-On. The latter of those two shoes utilizes a brown leather on the lower portion of its upper and a wool print material on the topside. The Sk8-Hi uses a similar material make-up with a red, orange, yellow, maroon, purple and black Pendleton wool appearing around the collar and heel. You can pick up either (or both) now at Bows & Arrows.

adidas adiZero Rose 1.5 Preview

This young NBA season has already given Derrick Rose the opportunity to wear his first ever signature sneaker on the court, but as it turns out it, will give him a second in 2011. The adidas adiZero Rose 1.5 will be worn by the Bulls guard later this season when Chicago (presumably) heads in to the playoffs. Features include Torsion, Sprint Skin and Puremotion technologies and a notable design element is the eye-tricking “dR” logo seen on the tongue. Expert more information to surface soon.

Nike LeBron 8 Black/Anthracite

Posted: 01 Dec 2010 09:58 AM PST

Nike LeBron 8

The success behind the Nike LeBron 8 has been surprising to say the least. Since King James’ “decision,” many sneakerheads have been on the fence about purchasing his signature line. However, just like the Nike Air Yeezy, the LeBron 8 has defied the reputation of their respective multimillionaire names.

A previously sampled LeBron 8 is now shown here in it’s complete form. As can be seen, the pair is completely black with a variety of materials utilized throughout the upper. In addition to a leather material on the toe, side, and ankle panel, a mesh material can be seen on the tongue while an nubuck like texture can be spotted near the lace eyelets. As with all the other LeBron 8s, this pair is engineered with a 360 degree air unit that is complimented with one of the most padded interiors we’ve felt in quite some time.

This pair is set to drop later this month at most Nike retailers. Stay tuned for an official drop date.
