  • Nike SB Blazer Pack by Lance Mountain
    By on October 22nd, 2008 | No Comments Comments

     

     

    Two skateboarding pioneer legends, Craig Stecyk III and Lance Mountain collaborated on an orange suede Nike SB Blazer High that is scheduled to release this month. However, this coming holiday season Lance Mountain has a Blazer Pack of his own. The Nike SB Blazer Pack by Lance Mountain features a pair of black leather Blazer Highs, a tee shirt, a ball cap, and a M-65 style jacket. This Nike SB Blazer High comes in a casual black and white colorway and features fine materials and craftsmanship, which is what one would expect from Lance’s own classic and timeless style.

    The shoes are said to be inspired by a vintage leather M-65  jacket that Lance owns. Their uppers feature fine soft black leather, with a red quilted interior lining. All of the accessories feature original artwork from Lance.

    Image source: here.

    This Nike Air Force 1 Hi “Hajime Tachibana” was created for the musician, Tachibana. The person used to be the guitarist of “The Plastics”, an electro pop band from Japan. Tachibana has released quite a few solo albums. This shoe is sold at madHectic sneaker store. One pair sells for 35,000 Yen.

    This sneaker has a white shoe upper. The toe box is white, with machine lined patterns into the material. The mud guard is off white. The shoe lace region is also off white. The shoe lace is white to contrast against the off white. The midsection is sandwiched between the front mudguard and the heel segment. It is a small section with concentric circles made into the material. The Nike swoosh is white and is attached over the heel and midsection. There is a nice shoe strap at the ankle of the shoe. The broad band is an attractive feature for the shoe. This shoe strap uses velco to fasten it. The midsole is thick and white. The outsole is off white.

    This shoe is clean looking. It has accents in a neat, orderly way. The white colors are nice for the users who prefer white colored shoes.

    This colorway is pretty nice and simple featuring a nice combo of medium grey, varsity red and black on the upper. On the bottom, just a simple black midsole with a varsity red outsole. The upper features two levels of leather with smooth black leather on the front and swoosh and premium black leather on the back half. UK heads can find this colorway in most retailers including GRIP while US heads will have to wait til December 13th.

     

  • Big Pooh Dunk Highs
    By on October 22nd, 2008 | 1 Comment1 Comment Comments

    D@ Prince Customs created two pairs of custom Nikes based on Winnie the Pooh for separate clients. The Big Pooh Dunk Highs feature a red/white/orange colorway as well as a depiction of Winnie the Pooh along the middle panel. You can take a look at more pictures at D@ Prince’s recent Nike Talk post linked here.

    We get to see Winnie the Pooh in action on the Big Pooh Dunk Highs. Instead of using stationary depictions of this precocious bear, D@ Prince shows Pooh sliding on the left shoe and sticking his nose out to smell some honey on the right.

    I love how D@ Prince incorporated Pooh’s colors into the rest of the shoe. The character’s red shirt is replicated in the rear half of the Nike swoosh, the tongue and the eyelets. D@ Prince accurately blended the red and orange elements of the swoosh to create Winnie the Pooh on a large scale.

    While these Dunk Highs were designed for an adult, the Big Pooh Dunks feature wooden blocks that remind viewers of their childhood. These customs are expertly done and I hope that D@ Prince gets the chance to take on the rest of the Winnie the Pooh gang soon.

  • The LeBrons: Nike Zoom LeBron VI – Wise
    By on October 22nd, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Nike Zoom LeBron VI - Wise - #1

    The final shoe in The LeBrons series of Nike Zoom Lebron VI’s is Wise Lebron.

    Wise LeBron is my favorite character in The LeBrons. He’s the old timer of the family who is dishing stories and advice. The Wise version of the Nike Zoom LeBron VI uses old school materials like cherrywood red plaid and grey sweater-like fabric.

    Using colors similar to the Cavaliers uniforms, this shoe is the most distinguished of the four sneakers in the pack. Like the other shoes, these kicks are all about the details.

    Only six stores will have the four Nike Zoom VI The LeBrons. Get them this Saturday, October 25th at the House of Hoops locations in Harlem and Los Angeles, as well as NIKETOWN and Sportsland in Chicago, and Miami’s Shoe Gallery and Cleveland’s Next.

    Each pair in the The LeBrons pack is sold separately. Via Sole Collector.
