    Air Jordan VIII Retro Aqua

    Over at Overkill, you can find the Air Jordan VIII Retro “Aqua.” These shoes were released this month and are some of the retro kicks on the market. From back in 1993 when Michael Jordan was busy winning a championship against Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns, these sneakers are definitely classics.

    The aqua colors really stand out with the rest of the shoe being black. If you look at the front of the shoe, you can notice some slick crossing straps that add an extra element to these kicks.

    On the tongue, there is the traditional Air logo in red surrounded by even more aqua. These shoes are absolutely one of the best releases of the month.

    Here are the latest shoes called the Air Max ‘90 “Suicide Swirl” by JGoods over at thejgcustoms.com. He claims these have taken the longest of any shoe he’s ever done. You can also see his process of painting these on the new introduction page at the website.

    The result of this custom is amazing. With a swirling effect using red, white, blue and gray, these are truly some hot hypnotic kicks. Yet another masterpiece by JGoods.

  • KSwiss and Fake London combo.

    kswiss and fake london combination 1

    KSwiss and Fake London have put their brains together to design two new models. The new shoes are stamped with the Fake London punk rock shout. However, the rolling rocker is subdued somewhat by KSwiss’ classical cutting of the shoe. This is a delightful concoction of the regale and pop culture.This line is sold by LaMJC and Sold Out. One pair generally sells in the range of €150.

    The tongue of the sneaker has dual designs. It can be flipped and worn on the outside too.This adds personality to the shoe and gives away the personality of the user too.My preference would be to wear the tongue in for functional warmth and a sober look. When I want to make a statement but can’t do it verbally, I would stick my tongue out to tell the world that I love punk fashion.

    As the tongue of the sneaker is a unique and prominent feature, the shoe can be worn half laced, instead of the usual fully laced up traditional way. I love this peek-a-boo tease act. You’ll have folks staring hard at your shoes, trying to figure out what the rest of the tongue design says.It seems that KSwiss and Fake London have let their shoes do all the talking for them.

    There are more pictures of the beauties after the jump. Please come along.

    Even the shoe box is pretty. It is a souvenir item.

    Its Kswiss at the soles and a thick layer of it cushions your feet against fatigue.

  • The Keep Fall Collection

    The current collection of fall casual shoes for Keep is an affordable option for people who need a shoe to fit their style. The ten styles put out by Keep in September 2007 are diverse enough to draw the eyes of even the most fickle shoe fans. You can see in the picture above the mixture of a subtle colorway with an upper made of corduroy that sets Keep owners apart from shoe traditionalists.

    One of the best reasons to purchase one of these styles by Keep is the price. Most of these styles hang between $60 and $90 USD so you can keep more money in your wallet to buy a matching outfit. More importantly, you can find a pair of Keeps in any major shoe store throughout the United States. While shoe lovers enjoy the rare and exotic, they also need a pair of everyday shoes that won’t force them to get a second job.

    Gil II Zero

      

    Leave it to Gilbert Arenas to come up with a brilliant marketing idea. Arenas, who has a amazingly popular blog on NBA.com, is coming out with 20 different versions of his Adidas Gil II Zero kicks.

    Most of these will be limited edition shoes and all of them will have their own story. Check out his blog for more information on each shoe and the corresponding release dates. The shoe in the above picture is just one of the 20 different versions that will be released.

    With the black, gold and clear plastic, these kicks are hot. Adidas is going out on a limb with Arenas’ idea but this could be a smashing hit for the upcoming year. If it works for Adidas and Arenas, this would be great news for sneakerheads because it could mean multiple releases for each player shoe in the future.
