  • Nike ACG Tallac
    By on February 17th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    The Nike ACG Tallac is sold at Concepts. The shoe upper and tongue are covered in black background with white grid lines. The toe box is protected by a black leather sheath that is decorated by perforations and a small, pink Nike swoosh. The curved circumference is protected by a high mudguard.

    The boot lace is electric blue with thin pink lines. Down the center of the tongue, there is a black strip of lace locks to ensure tight lacing.

    The midsection of the shoe is reinforced with black strips of frame. These strips embrace the shoe and maintain the shape and fit. A pink colored shoe strap helps to lace down the shoe lace. This strap runs around the collar and down the side of the midsection. The collar of the ankle is in black netted fabric. This ensures comfort and a good fit at the ankle.

    The heel has a sky blue back tab and the brand name “ACG” is printed in pink. The heel is the same extension as the netted fabric of the collar of the ankle.

    The choice of colors is good. Electric blue and baby pink will pander to the whims of male and female users alike. (Image)

    By on February 17th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    It seems as if Vans is trying to reach a certain quota this year. Pushing out innovative designs and dope color ways one after another. Today wouldn’t be quite right if we didn’t hit you with another nice Vans release. This time it’s a Half Cab, but not just any Half Cab. Dressed up in a Black Croc upper they are certainly intended to do a little more than skating. Like majority of other Croc schemes, they wouldn’t be complete without the Tiffany accenting on the sockliner. Throw on some white shoestrings and your set. Get these now at a Vans retailer near you.

    Gourmet Spring 2009

    Patent leather is a hot fashion statement in 2009 and these Gourmet kicks utilize patent leather extremely well. The leather was developed in Italy and the attention to detail is obvious. If you want to cop a pair of these kicks, hit up high-end footwear shops such as HUF, Fred Segal and Undefeated.

    Two different shoes are being released by Gourmet using the patent leather – the Otto and the Sette. The Otto utilizes a black smooth patent, while the Sette features crinkled patent leather. Both shoes give off an aura of class and sophistication. Via High Snobiety.

    If you watched the 2009 NBA Slam Dunk contest, you undoubtedly saw Superman AKA Dwight Howard putting on a show. To help out Superman, Adidas worked up a few different shoes for Howard to wear during the contest. Dwight chose to wear this pair of glossy Adidas TS Bounce Commanders.

    As you could expect from a pair of kicks inspired by Superman, the color scheme of these sneakers revolves around red and blue. To further enhance the connection between these shoes and Dwight Howard these shoes have Howard’s number 12 on the side. Via Hypebeast.

    Duke University Nike Zoom Kobe IV - #1

    Although Kobe Bryant skipped college to head straight to the NBA, he’s made comments that if he would have gone to college that Duke would have been his choice. With that in mind, these Duke University Nike Zoom Kobe IV kicks make a lot of sense. Despite not playing for Coach K at Duke, Kobe did get a chance to play with him this summer as he helped the USA bring home the basketball gold medal in the Olympics.

    As you would expect with Duke shoes, these kicks have the D logo on the heel and utilize a blue color scheme. Check out both the home and road versions. Overall, these sneakers are very slick but don’t expect to find a pair. Sole Collector says that “Due to legal complications, don’t expect to see these hitting the House Of Hoops anytime soon.”

  • Celtic Nike Dunks
    By on February 17th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    Sideview Customs was approached by a Celtics superfan in search of a pair of Boston-themed Nike Dunks. The Celtic Nike Dunks were featured in Sideview’s latest Nike Talk post linked here (along with his TMNT Nike Dunks). The popularity of the Big Three in Boston has led to an increased number of customs based on the Celtics but Sideview took a unique approach to keep these sneakers fresh.

    Sideview employed thin green lines on the toe and Nike swoosh to create an elephant-skin effect. The back panel is pure green with a small four-leaf clover in white, a simple homage to the Boston Celtics. The designer went a simpler route than other designers in celebrating the reigning NBA champions.

    If you want to get in touch with Sideview Customs, you can head to the designer’s MySpace page linked here. The Boston fan in question will be able to watch the Celtics keep rolling after the All Star break at home or a local bar with these subtle sneakers. The nuances of the Celtic Nike Dunks are welcome at a time when designers are trying to dazzle the eye with wild colors and graphics.
