Fresh off of NBA championship number four, Tim Duncan is getting some hot new kicks from Adidas that will be dropping sometime in October.The Adidas Team Signature shoe above will the official sneakers for Duncan in the 2007-08 NBA season.

While the design isn’t overly dramatic, its simplicity is perhaps its greatest asset.Duncan’s name is spelled out inconspicuously on the side of the shoe in some white on white action.

The familiar Adidas stripes and subtle stitchings give the shoes a throwback look.Bottomline is these shoes are solid and genuine but lack flash, kind of like Tim Duncan himself.

These boots were made famous when rapper Kanye West wore them in his music videos. They have front openings which are fastened by velcro. This facilitates wearing of the boots. The velcro allows the adjustment for a tight or loose fitting. These boots come in only two exclusive colors of black and white. The shiny finish accentuates their impact as classic boots.

I think this collection of boots will win more fans for boots. Due to its design of the front openings, it appears to be like a pair of sneakers.The high cutting at the ankles is the trademark of boots. The boots protect the heels and ankles while maintaining flexibility. The front openings allow some scope in the capacity of the boots to bend at the front.

The leather boots comprise of patent leather and regular premium leather.These boots are slated to be released for sale in the U.S. and Europe in Jan. 2008. However, Oki-Ni will accept pre-orders.

This unique pair of the new Nike Dunk High Premium MT features a Zest/Aqua/Black color-way and a mesh from the toe box to the back of the shoe and some sort of design on the heel.

The shoes above are the result of collaboration between Boston’s Bodega and Reebok. The market for this special set of Reebok Pumps is the jet setting sneaker fan who wants something to stand apart. As you can see, there is a map which has the route from New York to Boston for all of you Northeasterners who need to find a bus route out of town. This limited edition design will be limited to 100 pairs and these will be a hot ticket when they hit the stores.

I would love to see the Reebok Pumps with other routes throughout the United States. Bodega naturally wants to cater to the people in their community who don’t care how to get from Chicago to St. Louis. Reebok should look into partnering with sneaker shops around the country and create a road warrior pack for every region.

In fact, Reebok could take a page from New Balance and allow customization on the go. Pump fans could place a GPS system on the inside of the tongue to know where they are constantly. This suggestion is a joke, of course, and there is something interesting about purchasing these Pumps through Bodega. As a creature of the Midwest, a map covering the Boston to New York route may encourage may to stray away from the familiar. These ventures depend entirely on my bank account and whether these shoes will even be available by the time I make my move.
