International waterproof backpack-maker, Eastpak teamed up with designer Raf Simons for the third time and created the capsule collection. The SS09 collection consists of travel bags featuring a combination of fabrics and trims of full grain leather in natural and metallic finishes offsetting canvas or mesh. The designer’s pieces come in 7 styles, 3 fabrics, and 6 colorways, with a price range of 140-340 Euros. Eastpak x Raf Simons creation will be a part of the Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.

TTK began collaborating with Identity Footwear and Apparel in fall 2007 to create a four pack of custom Nikes based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The designer used the AIDS epidemic as a modern representation of the first horseman, Death. His Horseman of Death Nike Vandals were found at the Nike Talk post linked here.

The right shoe is dubbed “AIDS Then” by TTK because it represents the historical origins of the epidemic. The silhouette of five men represents the first reported cases of AIDS in the United States in 1981. TTK drew 1982 to represent the creation of the acronym AIDS by the CDC to explain the disease. At the top of the right sneaker, TTK drew Ronald Reagan along with 1985 to represent the former president’s first mention of AIDS in public.

TTK showed the savage progress of the AIDS epidemic over the last two decades on the left shoe, dubbed “AIDS Now.” He started out with a gray outline of the African continent, which has been affected disproportionately by HIV and AIDS. The number 25.4 represents the 25.4 million Africans in the sub-Saharan region that carried HIV/AIDS in 2004.

The starkest image of the AIDS epidemic’s effect on Africa is the skeletal baby painted just below the collar. This disturbing picture reflects the current generation of babies contracting HIV/AIDS before birth. I applaud TTK’s ability to treat such an important issue with gravity while creating a great pair of customs.

Nike Huarache 2009 Player Edition Tony Parker.

This is a great collection of Nike Huarache 2009 Player Editions. This collection features shoes for three players; Tony Parker, Chris Bosh and OJ Mayo. The shoes are sold at Kix Files Store website. One pair sells for $140.

The Tony Parker shoe has a San Antonio Spurs colorway. The leathers used are premium and patent leather. The ankle area has a TP logo. The logo has been cleverly designed such that the letters merge into one another. The premium leather gives the shoe a solid look. The specially patented leather with shine and white stripes gives the shoe a glitzy look.

The Nike Huarache 2009 Player Edition on Chris Bosh is brightly colored. The Raptors team color is used. Bosh’s signature CB4 is patterned on the ankle of the shoe. The font is done in a different style to ensure a unique look.

The Nike Huarache 2009 Player Edition version for OJ Mayo has black and blue in its colorway. The accents are white and yellow. As usual, the player’s initials are done in monogram style on the ankle of the shoe. This pair is different from the other two already discussed above. The Nike swoosh is in white color, which contrasts with the other two sneakers. (Images)

Nike is releasing this very simple yet styish black version of the Air Force 1 Low. Using premium black leather and reptile-embossed patent leather, this casual sneaker is a nice choice.

The Nike Swoosh is a very dark grey and the shoe features a gum sole. This Nike Air Force 1 Low will be available at Nike Sportswear retailers soon. If you are in a hurry, you can cop them now at Atmos.

The Skyline has made a good reputation already and this is just an extension to other parts of the world. Europe is lucky to have this exclusive colorways to them. There’s no exact number yet as to how many of these will be made and also. So as of now, lets enjoy them and get our hands on them! So far all Skyline releases are doing good and these also are sure to be a hit!

We have three pictures here for the Reebok Pump Court Victory II. This Mid-top version is dedicated to the famous tennis pro Michael Chang, who was the model for this great sneaker back in the day. The shoe has a white leather upper with orange and lilac rubber. As for the tongue, it’s made of nylon fabrics which are embroidered with the logo.
