The Good, The Bad, The Fugly Week 32

This week for The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly was pretty straight up. Although there was a number of fresh kicks to choose from like the Manny Pacquiao Nike’s, the Hot Red Air Max 95’s, and some nice Structure Triax 91’s.

Since I haven’t been able to figure out how I feel about the latest Jordan Fusions, the other choices, well, were simple. Let us know what you think of our choices and chime in with your own in the comments section.

Check out this week’s choices by clicking here.

Nike Vintage Tennis

Posted: 24 Apr 2009 02:38 PM PDT

Nike Vintage TennisYou know how it goes, you scour eBay every night to find those OG’s that you’ve been missing. Then you finally find a pair, and after getting outbid, find another and finally they arrive at your door, you quickly throw them on your feet step to the mirror, only to see the midsole crumble out from under you. Now you can have the the classics without the crumble.

This Nike Vintage Tennis is available in a number of color choices. Four vintage versions in a combination of mesh and leather materials. Color choices are simple just like back in the day, blue and red accents only. The outsole in a white, or rather antiqued off-white
won’t end up looking like blue cheese,
but still looks as if its been aged to perfection.

Check out all four colorways after the break.

Air Huarache x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Black/Purple

We have already spotted the Scream Green and the White/White colorway of the Air Huarache inspired Nike Air Force 1 Supreme in select retailers. We now have photos of the third colorway that has been released in Europe.

It features a mostly purple leather base mixed with a black suede toe area. Other features include a purple midsole, a translucent outsole, a white swoosh and the black Huarache logo on the tongue. Although this shoe is currently a Nike Store Europe exclusive, they will supposedly surface stateside soon. Click here to view detailed photos.

Asics Runovation Pack

Posted: 24 Apr 2009 01:26 PM PDT

Asics Runovation Pack

The Asics Runovation Pack is now available at Asics retailers. It features three retro silhouettes that have now become quite popular as lifestyle releases, the GEL Lyte Speed, GEL Lyte II, and GEL Lyte III.

The Runovation Pack takes an interesting approach. Each style is done up in a primarily mesh upper, which gives these normally casual kicks a true running shoe feel. The colorways chosen are pretty nice combos but I’m not sure how people will like them. Old running silhouettes with new running technology inspiration, an interesting concept to say the least.

What do you think about these?

Thanks to the infamous adi-loving hip hop group, Run DMC, the shoe brought home the bacon for the brand, even though it had been seen on courts since 1969. Updated to within an inch of itself, the Superstar has seen many a makeover, with the Consortium pack giving it a dizzying kaleidoscope of cross-eyed stripes.

24 Kilates x New Balance 1500 Joan Miro

Posted: 16 Apr 2009 09:16 AM PDT

24 Kilates x New Balance 1500 - Joan Miro

The New Balance 1500 contains some of the same features of the Air Jordan 7 "Miro". it possesses a predominately black suede base with touches of yellow, red, green and blue throughout the upper. 24 Kilates is paying tribute to legendary Catalan artists through this Modernism Pack which began April 2008 with the New Balance 1700, inspired by architect Antoni Gaudi. "Regarding the features, it's important to point out that Miró has two distinctive subjects: his surrealism and the use of the basic colours of the whole spectrum. We decided to manipulate those colours but using a black background, taking in consideration the surrealism mentioned above. The shoe, which combines perforated leather and suede, reaches its harmony when it's seen from a distance.
