This triple collaboration features a New Era fitted cap and a New Balance 1700 inspired by elements from famous Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi was known for his individual Art Nouveau designs with his signature use of colorful glass tile mosaics.

This colorful mosaic inspired styling is used throughout the 1700 on the toebox, heel and laces. These shoes are very distinct and will be extremely limited. Only 144 pieces of the shoes and cap will be released.

SBTG has collaborated with the clothing line Republic and the Auckland, New Zealand based shop Qubic to produce three items in this interesting pack.

In this collaboration, you will find a pair of Nike Dunk Highs, a matching t-shirt, and chiffon shemagn/kefflyeh.

The customized Dunks dubbed the “Rogue Trooper” feature a black/white/fuschia/aqua colorway that really stands out. The toe box and heel of these sneakers is white, along with a white midsole that has a fuschia pinstripe. The body of shoe is black with designs and “Republic” in a mix of aqua and fuschia. The design is somewhere between abstract and geometric, producing a unique look. The shemagn/kefflyeh that is included in the pack will definitely we talked about.

Only 12 pairs kicks packaged with the accompanying gear have been produced with exclusive availability at Qubic. A limited amount of the pack’s apparel will be available too. The pack is priced at about 750 New Zealand dollars.

This Nike Air Jordan VIII is legendary.  It has made a comeback in a new retro version that retains all the goodness of its original. The sneaker is packed in the original Jordan Box and comes with a retro card. They are sold at purchaz. Each pair costs about $200. However, the price varies from store to store.

The shoe’s shape is classic. The smooth black leather has a White-Bright Concord heel. Many details from 1993 are continued in this version. Michael Jordan and the Nike experts attribute the success of the player to the shoe.  Of course, the human talents are important but they are aided by excellent equipment like great shoes.

I like the panel at the bottom of the heel. It contains an abstract design graphic. It looks funky and cool. The thick sole is the typical feature of Air Jordan shoes. The bottom sole is very colorful and has the logo of the basketball player reaching up with a ball. The abstract art looks like some panels of stained glass. This theme is similar to the abstract art at the side panel of the shoe.

The shoe is all black but it has details on the shoe upper. It has a shoe strap across the ankle and helps secure the shoe to the foot. This is useful for vigorous movements.

Nike SB has recently unveiled their releases for this December. The releases are include Nike Joe Strummer Dunk Low and the Nike Embarco Dunk Mid.
