If you are a fan of thrash metal, there’s a good chance you are a fan of the band Slayer. Along with Anthrax, Metallica and Megadeth, Slayer is regarded as one of the most popular thrash metal bands of all-time. These sneakers pay homage to Slayer and use the art from the cover of the album “Decade of Aggression”.

Produced by Vans and using a SK8-Hi model, these kicks are sure to be a hit with Slayer fans. The main colors seen in these shoes are black, white, red and gold — although there are many different colors at work. Expect these sneaks to be released in spring 2009. Via Hypebeast.

TWiTCH Customs turned Nike’s Mad Jibe boat shoes into sneaker art with a Tiffany theme recently. The designer posted his latest work in the Nike Talk post linked here. The Tiffany Mad Jibes will be presented at a Sole Assassins event in Long Beach, CA on Saturday, December 13th.

The original Mad Jibes featured a turquoise/white colorway that would look good on a beach house dock. TWiTCH kept the turquoise sole from the original Mad Jibes and extended this color to the toe box and middle panel. He also added black rippled leather to distinguish these comfortable but stylish sneakers from the stodgier pairs produced by Nike.

TWiTCH will be selling a pair of the Tiffany Mad Jibes in size 10US at this weekend’s Sole Assassins event. If you are in the Long Beach area, you can see the prolific designer’s fine work in person. While Nike was hoping to turn the boat shoe into something cool with the Mad Jibe, it took TWiTCH to take these shoes to the next level.

If winter has got you down, you can start to enjoy it with these sneakers that are nicknamed Snowman. And once you take a look at them, you can see exactly why. The colors, designs and textures on this shoe does a good job encapsulating the essence of winter.

The Reebok Pump Omni model is usually popular and these kicks should be no different. The colorway on these shoes are white, steel grey and shiny Carolina blue. There is fur located around the ankle and on the side of the shoe to add to the winter feel. The icy blue sole on the bottom reveals what looks to be the footprint of the Abominable snowman. And of course, a pump is located on the tongue. You can get these at Overkill for about $157 USD.

It’s not even January yet but Nike has just released a Kids Dunk in the honor of the February holiday. The colors used on this Dunk are hot pink, white and black, along with some minor silver accents used on the graphic pattern. The pattern that covers the white portion is an assortment of X’s, O’s, lines, arrows and of course some hearts. A shinny hot pink was used on the toe box, side panels, and the stitching that outlined the swoosh and midsole. Grab your pair now at Finishline and be ready for that special day.

In a collaboration between Optimystik, Mita Sneakers and New Balance, these exciting kicks are dropping right before the holiday season and could be a hit with those looking to add some spice to their Christmas gifts.

The two versions of these shoes are completely different. The first offers a basic colorway of black, white and silver. The metallic silver adds some shine and jazzes them up. The other version uses combination of light blue and gold. Both versions feature intricate details, daring patterns, hiking boot lacing and aspects from a wide-ranging variety of sneaks and boots.
