| Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylor Collection Posted: 26 Aug 2010 11:58 AM PDT Missoni and Converse’s collaborative efforts have proven to be extremely-detailed to say the least. This past spring, both sides worked on a very nice Converse Chuck Taylor that incorporated the mult-colored Missoni fabric. Both sides are now set to release two new Chuck Taylors that feature a similar cloth design. If you recall, we showed you one of the upcoming Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylors (shown below) in June. It contains the Missoni fabrics in black/white and are shaped in a zig zag-like pattern. Various brown buttery soft leather accents also appear throughout the base. As for the new pair (shown above), it possesses the same color scheme, yet, the Missoni fabrics appear in a zebra stripe-like pattern. Look for both Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylors to release some time in the fall. View photos of both below.

| Back to the Sneakers: A History of McFly Kicks Posted: 26 Aug 2010 10:42 AM PDT
 "Marty McFly" Nike Hyperdunk The first sneaker to sport the Air Mag colorway was the famed Nike Hyperdunk. McFly inspiration touched the already futuristic model with Universal Studios allowing Nike to use the grey colorway and teal speckled midsole. A glow in the dark outsole and ’2015′ tagging on the tongue added nostalgia to the design. Kobe Bryant arriving at the UNDFTD release event in the DeLorean car from the movie provided bonus recall for the big screen sneaker.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2010 09:58 AM PDT Fall is fast approaching and that means it’s time to add some more neutral shoes to your collection. New Balance has taken the 574 model and bumped it up to Premium status, thanks to heavy doses of quality leather and suede. Both colorways we see use brown leather as a base and mix in red clay near the heel.

News yesterday that Nike filed a patent for a lighting and fastening system on a shoe turned the blogosphere upside with the prospect of a Nike Air Mag release. Rocked by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II, the Air Mag “McFly” has never released to the public but its likeness has inspired many great Nike makeups. The space age sneaker’s grey and speckled blue colorway has been carried over to some of Nike’s top models creating a buzz everytime. In the spirit of the good news we take a look back at the best Nike’s inspired by the McFly.
Some kicks are gym shoes. These shoes are gym class. Drawing inspiration from two classic sportswear articles, the Converse Star Player Sock “Sweatshirt” brings comfy styling to an old school classic. An all white midsole with navy and red stripes sets the stage for a cotton fleece upper mimicking your favorite hoody or crew. Silver eyelets, navy leather branding, and sock inspired collar finish off the latest from Converse. We’ve seen lots of variations of the Chuck Taylor, what are your thoughts on the new direction of the Star Player? Let us know in the comment section.

With iconic colorways like the “Infrareds” and “Laser Blues” re-releasing, it’s sometimes hard for a new colorway of the the Nike Air Max 90 to get much love. Nike continues to bring new life to this classic runner mixing it up with a Granite/Royal Blue-Lucky Green colorway. The shoe features white mesh on the upper contrasted by granite and royal blue tumbled leather. Lucky green pops up all over the shoe accenting the lining, eyelets, back piece, and midsole. The mostly white midsole sets atop a royal blue outsole finishing off the sneaker. This model has dropped overseas with no information on a US release. What do you think of this colorway?
