Leather, nubuck, and suede come together in an all-time favorite print for Supra S1W, and it’s the Camo effect we’re talking about. As a lot of you may remember, the last we heard of this line of sneakers was when Lil’ Wayne decided to give them his creative twist and we got the “Vice Pack”. The Supra Skytop III and Supra Vaider Lite were the other pairs in the pack. Those were super cool.

This camo presentation isn’t bad either. And is a neat addition to the Stevie Williams signature pair. So what exactly do we have here? Well, it’s camo printed leather, grey suede, and tan leather on the upper. The sneakers rest on a lightweight, cored out, cup sole that features a new SUPRAFOAM® footbed with impact technology. Speckled laces and a padded heel pull add character to the appearance.

Already available online and retailing for $100. We’ll let you know when these will register their presence with retailers in the U.S. Till then take a look at the images. We love the effect of the orange accenting on these mid cuts; what about you?

The Converse CTS “St. Patrick’s Day” is a creation by Concepts and takes its inspiration from the ye old taverns in the state of Massachusetts. One tavern in particular, The Warren Tavern, has served as the idea behind these sneakers, which are also a tribute to all things Irish. Massachusetts, after all, is home to a sizable Irish population. This tavern in question has had chaps no less than  Paul Revere and George Washington dropping there for a pint. How’s that for a legacy.

When you take a look at the images, you’ll see what’s really cool about them. They aren’t out-and-out green shamrock. There’s a cool muted reference to St Patrick in the form of  ”Kombu” green lining on the vulcanized midsole. A ”Milk” suede upper mimics the color of the bar’s  raw wood beamed ceiling. Cool Converse All-Stars with brown laces threaded through metal eyelets. These sneakers feature a Lunarlon sockliner and soft rubber insole.

Probably among the most creative St. Patrick’s Day gifts you can hope to get or give, just $70.

Although Eddie Jones has had some sterling performances to his name as a Los Angeles Lakers player, particularly in his rookie season; he really came into his own when he stepped on the courts for Miami Heat, even leading the team to the 2001 playoffs.

Air Jordan pays homage to this unrelenting soldier who held Miami Heat together during the five seasons he played there. We get the Air Jordan XIII – Eddie Jones Miami Heat PE. A couple of days ago, we had set our eyes on the “Away” version that featured black and red on a mesh and synthetic upper.

This “Home” P.E sneaker for Eddie features a red and white upper. But you know the real kicker. These kicks first came out in 2004; yes, back when Eddie was at the peak of his prowess. So the pairs that exist on the market today are kind of collector’s items.

White lacing, a white midsole, and premium leather make up the upper. An emerald green eye on the medial side is a neat accent.

The Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals Wings 2.0 “Blackout” is out and is a much-awaited sequel to the first iteration that was released a few months back. $220 gets you this flashy pair of designer sneakers. The coated patent leather upper shines with iridescence. And it’s not just all appearance with these kicks. You also get  leather lining, an EVA midsole, and a rubber outsole. Wonder what you guys think about the safety and security angle here; you don’t want those wings getting snagged anywhere, least of all when you are in motion on a vehicle. These do extend way beyond the heel.

Take a look at the images; we like what we see of this shiny creation. By the way, do you know of any other sneaker out there with such striking contrast in sheen between the upper and the sole, such a shiny upper and a sole with such a matte appearance?

Michael Jordan’s famed footwear line has seen retro on retro. Why not give Scottie’s kicks more love? The Nike Air Pippen 1 is still a standout and worthy of a re-release. Though retroed before, it’s been nearly five years since these last came back. Are these worthy of a third run? We say yes, bring ‘em back!
