Chinese fashion has been influencing several designs in fashion starting from hair dresses up to the simplest accessories.  And before 2009 ends, Converse has a Chinese-inspired collection which incorporates the designs and colors of the upcoming 2010 which is said to be the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar.

Since this is a Chinese Converse shoe, expect that the dominant color is red – a lucky color for the Chinese. Aside from the tiger patterns and black/red streaks on the shoes there are also Chinese characters and Chinese calligraphy as well.

There are four colors that part of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. Fans of the Chuck Taylor will think of this as a must-have especially if they can pull of the color red.

No news yet about the specific date or release of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. But I hope that these shoes will be out in the market just in time for the 2010 Chinese New Year.

Take a good look at this Nike Blazer and tell us the colors that you see. Black, right? That’s the same color that most of us saw especially those who are wearing glasses and have eyes that are far from the normal 20/20 vision. Again, take a look at it closely. If you would take time to stare at the base of the shoe, it is actually PINE GREEN! Of course, Nike would not call this item as the Blazer Foamposite – Pine Green if it is not colored like that in the first place.

But there is still black in this shoe though. Confused already? Your eyes are not kidding. The Nike swoosh at the side is actually black and is made from suede. Other portions of the footwear that are in black includes the laces and the sole.

Don’t believe that it is Pine Green? House of Hoops already have this on display, you might want to check it out for yourself.

You have already read several posts here about the Air Max LeBron since Air Max has already unveiled various versions and color way. Recently Air Max LeBron VII gave sneaker-lovers like you something to anticipate (again?). The Air Max LeBron will soon be in the combination of grey and orange with a little touch of white.

The outline of the tongue as well as insoles are of the same color with the laces of this LeBron VII. Jason Petrie, the one responsible for designing the latest LeBron VII also incorporated durable plastic materials to be the shoe base and the same material is also used for the Nike swoosh at the side which gives it a glossy facade.

Soles are combination of two colors. The upper part is in solid white while the lower sole is in orange. The latter shade actually gives the Air Max LeBron VII a cooler look that you want to stare at it again and again. We will give an update if there are already news about the release of this footwear.
