New Balance 581 Spring/Summer 2012

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 11:28 AM PDT

New Balance 581

Next Spring and Summer, New Balance will be introducing a new model to their catalog. This rugged sneaker, called the New Balance 581, borrows an upper that stems from the 574 runner. However, this particular pair is built to withstand both the demands of the pavement and the dirt. The 581 is built with a more rugged outsole, guarded laces as well as weather proof materials. Look for this model to drop in two colorways next Spring/Summer. Is this a pair you’d cop for your outdoor adventures?

Nike Dunk High “White Technicolor” Custom

Posted: 23 Jul 2011 12:28 PM PDT

Nike Dunk High "White Technicolor" Custom

We’ve seen sneakers that break necks in the day. We’ve seen glow-in-the-dark sneakers that break necks at night. We’ve never seen a sneaker that is able to do both at the same time…until today. Evolved-Footwear has created a pair of custom Nike Dunk Highs that features a light-up “technicolor” sole unit. Lights are embedded in a translucent “ice” rubber outsole for a maximum amount of radiance, while a white upper ensures that everyone looking focuses on the innovative sole unit. This Nike Dunk is extremely limited and can be found at the EF website.

The Air Jordan 13 “Ray Allen” marks the third Ray Allen PE to be released to the public (the other two being the Air Jordan 8 “Away” PE and the Jordan Jumpman Team Pro “Away” PE). Who else would like to see Jordan Brand annually release a Ray Allen PE? Take a look at the 11 Ray Allen Boston Celtics PEs We’d Like to See Release.

Many may not remember this particular PE considering Ray Allen only wore it for a couple of games in between the debut of the Air Jordan XX3 in February 2008 and the Finals in June. Nevertheless, if it was available for purchase, we’d find more time and instances to wear this shoe than Ray Allen did. No need for these to sit in the closet and collect dust, Ray-Ray.

Sneaker Showdown: Nike SB Dunk "Space Jam" vs Supreme Black/Cement

The Nike SB Dunk is on a lot of sneakerheads' radars right now, thanks to the drop a very special, Air Jordan –inspired colorway. But it's by no means the first time that's happened. Back in 2002, Supreme partnered up with SB to give the Dunk a classic Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement Grey look.  And while many Dunks have worn Jordan attire before and since, these two Lows stick out as fine examples of how to do it right. The question remains, though: which shoe does it better? Vote in the poll below.

Celebrity Rewind: Kanye Rocks Black/Pink Nike Air Yeezy in “Knock You Down”

Posted: 22 Jul 2011 04:28 PM PDT

If a recent screen shot is any indication, Kanye won't be Louboutin' it up or Reebokin' any time soon. In the spirit of the recent Nike Air Yeezy 2 Black/Pink sighting we go back to an epic sighting of its predecessor. In the video for "Knock You Down" by Keri Hilson, Kanye, and Ne-Yo, Yeezy rocks his first signature of the same colorway. The single went on to top the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and the Air Yeezy went on to sell out worldwide.
