The Nike Dunk Lo new release has this nice chocolate brown and light brown suede shoe. The toe pad is light brown with some perforations that allows for air circulation. The lighter color contrasts with the richness of the dark chocolate and makes this Nike Dunk Lo unique.

The shoe laces also play with the color combinations. The black on yellow striped combination is great. The strips are also carefully designed to slant at an angle for the classy, striped look. One can always exercise the option of changing the shoe laces for a customized look. I think orange laces will blend well with the brown.

I like the baby blue inner lining. It is a cool blue to remind me of the Fall season.

The outer sole is splattered with specks of white snow. It gently reminds me of the coming change in seasons. It is a thick sole that will serve well while walking on thick, mushy ground. The suede is not stain resistant and will stain to become a darker shade of brown.

From the front view, this pair of Nike Dunk Lo Cl – ACG looks like a light brown suede. So, if one need is looking towards color coordination for outfits, light brown is in!

This sneaker is available at Sold Out, for 85.00 €.

This pair of Nike Air Max Stats leaves the original version of these basketball shoes in the dust. The Air Max Stat is the signature shoe of Phoenix forward Amare Stoudemire but the simple high top with black/white accents does not befit a player of his stature. The custom Air Stats pictured above offer a flashy royal purple/orange that would fit well with the Phoenix Suns’ color scheme.

The NBA and other professional leagues are only interested in the flash of players, not the flash of the apparel. These shoes would not get past the puritanical censors that watch for baggy shorts, non-sanctioned socks and other NBA fashion faux pas. The promise of a player like Stoudemire lifting off from the middle of the lane to dunk over Dirk Nowitzki in these shoes will have to stay in the mind of custom shoe lovers. If nothing else, Prince could use these custom Nike Air Max Stats if he ever plays “Purple Rain” at the NBA All Star Weekend.

Nike Air Max 90 Hufmax is available at Kix-Files as from Oct. 10. It costs USD $170 a pair. This Air Max 90 has an upper composition of white leather, crackle print and blue accents. I like the blue accents at the shoe lace holes. They bring out the contrast as the background has more white than any other color.

The shoes pictured above are the latest offerings by shoemaker Ubiq for autumn 2007. These three colorways offer a rainbow splash over casual shoes that is refreshing for even the most skeptical shoe fans. I particularly enjoy the middle pair with the tan/olive/black combination because it would match well with almost anything in your closet.

I would like to encourage skeptics of the Ubiq Vitriol for autumn 2007 to put aside their preconceived notions of what a shoe is and take in the Vitriol for its merits. The Ubiq Vitriol may look a little like a bowling shoe but it is stylish and your friends will want to run out to get their own pair. Check the Ubiq website in upcoming weeks to find other styles in the autumn 2007 collection and compare the Vitriol to its shoe brethren.
