  • Nike Women’s Air Force 1 Canvas – Tourmaline

    Nike Women's Air Force 1 Canvas - Tourmaline

    The canvas Nike Airforce 1’s were brought back last year for men and this time, a Women’s Air Force 1 in canvas will be released.

    The first pair to drop is the Tourmaline/White-Lucky Green colorway. This shoe looks perfect for springtime.

    Featuring the green canvas upper, white Swoosh and mid sole, this is a fresh looking shoe that many women should love. The gum sole is an extremely popular look.

    These shoes should be in Nike stores in upcoming months, but right now you can find them online at Shoe Planet for only 8,000 yen (only $75 USD). Via Sneakernews.

  • Nike SB Customs in Honor of Kanye West

    Twitch came out with some Nike SB customs recently in honor of Kanye West. The inspiration was the cover art for West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” single which features some cartoon images similar to artwork used on other West singles. I think Twitch did a fine job with these shoes especially in portraying a popular rapper like Kanye West.

    It is tough to make a realistic portrait with paint on the side of a shoe. You can compound that problem with the popularity of the subject and add some serious pressure on the artist. The picture above shows Twitch’s outstanding work in creating a clear and unmistakable picture of Kanye on the left shoe. The black background with small white spots is perfect considering the bright yellow/green used on the rest of the shoe.

    The picture below shows the artwork on the right shoe including a clever use of the Nike swoosh to form the smile of a cartoon character.  I think there are brighter and more fanciful shoes celebrating West’s artistic side but Twitch captures something deeper in these shoes. I would be reluctant to wear these shoes lest I wear out West’s portrait by walking through puddles and rain.

    Nike Hard N Heavy Attitude Pack

    If you are music fan, you may love the new pack of shoes being released by Nike this fall. These shoes honor heavy metal and punk rock in a pack dubbed the Nike Hard N Heavy Attitude Pack.

    These interesting shoes, which are a Nike Terminator and a Vandal so far, feature metal studs and a strap resembling a belt. The shoes come in black and gold colorways and each will be released with a gold guitar pick.

    Studs are being used quite a bit in women’s shoes, belts and handbags this year. So it’s not surprising that Nike chose to use them in this pack. We’ll let you know more details on pricing and other shoes in the pack as soon as info is released. Via Sneaker Files.

    Hectic x Stussy x New Balance CM670

    Another collaboration from Stussy, Hectic and New Balance is set to be released. This time it’s not the MT580 model, but rather the CM670.

    These shoes very simple, yet the color combinations used are quite nice. They combine suede, metallic leather and mesh to create a very good looking shoe.

    The first colorway pictured above is legion blue and gold. The other colorway is very similar but uses a dark navy instead of the legion blue. Both are very nice and can be versatile pieces to your wardrobe.

    These shoes will be released this Saturday at thethe realmad Hectic stores and Stussy stores for 16,590 yen (about $155 USD).Via HB.
