| New Balance 577 Spring 2010 Preview Posted: 07 Jul 2009 12:56 PM PDT  New Balance has some classic running silhouettes, the 577 is definitely one that falls into that category. The 577 originated in the late 80’s, and has since seen a resurgence since the turn of the century. The New Balance 577 will return in at least two colorways for the Spring of 2010. Aside from the tried and true combination of suede and mesh, the mid panel of each of these upcoming colorways is wrapped in a snake skin-like finish. Comfort in the 577 silhouette can be attributed to ENCAP cushioning. Click here to see both of these upcoming colorways. | Read the rest of New Balance 577 Spring 2010 Preview

| Lil Wayne’s Custom Supra Skytop Created by CLVII Posted: 07 Jul 2009 10:18 AM PDT  At the end of June, we spotlighted Lil Wayne wearing his then-unidentified, custom Supra Skytop at the BET Awards. At the time, no one knew who had made this unique Skytop for the him; Supra itself did not even know where the shoes came from! However, it was only a matter of time before new surfaced on Lil Wayne’s custom Supra Skytop. Supposedly, this Skytop was designed by the Berlin and Paris based store CLVII. It has also been reported that the aforementioned store gave this shoe to Wayne as a 26th birthday present. With that said, the tongue imprints now make more sense. What are your thoughts on the CLVII-designed Supra Skytop for Lil Wayne? | Read the rest of Lil Wayne’s Custom Supra Skytop Created by CLVII
