  • Nike NYX Air Pegasus 83

    Nike NYX Air Pegasus 83 - #1

    Nike has created another lifestyle collection – NYX, in addition to their Nike 6.0. These shoes are more of a traditional lifesyle series rather than so much skate influence.

    This version of the Nike NYX Air Pegasus 83 is a black, anthracite and pine green colorway that is simple and stylish. This shoe offers an interesting combination of colors and textures, while not looking as flashy and tacky as most 80’s sneakers. These shoes are available right now at Finishline for $64.99.

  • Nike Court Force High Grey/Metallic Silver

    This Nike Court Force High in Grey / Metallic Silver is classy and good looking. It is sold at Size? for $130 per pair. The shoe upper has a mixture of nubuck, suede and leather. There are some metallic stitching on the tongue.

    The toe box is made out of smooth leather. This is contrasted with the mudguard, which uses rough leather. The long stretch of silver shoe lace adds class to the shoe. The collar around the ankle is thick and uses a darker shade of silver. The Nike swoosh is composed of a strip of shiny, silver leather. Directly below the swoosh is a group of perforations.

    The midsole is divided into 2 layers. The top layer is lighter colored while the lower is slightly darker in color. The treads on the shoe look concentrated at the toe and more spaced out at the heel.

    The inner lining of the sneaker has a layer of thick mesh material. I like the shoe as the neutral tone of silver makes it look clean and classy. I think this shoe can be used in a wide variety of places and functions. The light color makes easy to use to match different colors in the wardrobe.

  • Air Jordan Six Rings “Laser”
    By on August 8th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    The first Air Jordan Six Rings will hit store shelves August 16. Like the ones releasing on the 16th these too feature a white, black and red color way. However there is a big difference between the too. This Air Jordan Six Rings is dressed up in the ever so classy black patent and white with red accents. A black laser print can be seen covering the upper portion. Although the Six Rings have been met with more than mixed reviews this colorway is sure to convert a few none believers. No info on availability or pricing at this time so stay tuned.

  • Nike Air Pippen 1: Scottie Gets Some Love
    By on August 8th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Nike Air Pippen 1
    Food for thought: What would the legacy of the Air Jordan line be if Scottie Pippen was never around to help Mike win those six championship rings? Yep, we thought so. Sure, we can assume that MJ probablywould have found a way to win, but he also may have just been remembered as a flashy high scorer who came short (just like when he scored 63 against the Celtics). That’s why it’s fitting that Nike has brought back the Nike Air Pippen 1 to pay homage to the Bulls’ #2 man, for the first time, no less. Scottie may have always lived in Michael Jordan’s shadow, but he was just as valuable as Worthy to Magic, McHale to Bird, if not more so. These sick 90’s retros will be back at UBIQ in-store tomorrow. It’s about freakin’ time, Nike!

    Staple Design x New Balance 575
    We showed you Jeffstaple’s latest masterpiece, the Staple Design x New Balance 575 before. Now Hanon has it for sale at their online shop. For anyone who hasn’t yet seen the resemblance to the Nike Dunk SB Pigeon sneakers from a couple years back, allow us educate you. The Pigeon Dunks were probably the craziest hyped Nike Dunk SB’s in the short life of Nike Dunk SB’s; read the story here. You can see the Pigeon SB’s and other Jeffstaple creations here. These New Balance sneakers pay homage to those Dunks, and they’re probably way more comfortable than the Dunks. The pigeon’s seem to be the staple of Staple. ) With t-shirts, new sneakers dedicated to the pigeons, etc. You could probably step in bird doo-doo in these and it’ll just add to the design! See more angles after the break. £60.

    Nike Dunk x Beautiful Losers
    If you read Sole Redemption, you’re a winner! Not trying to be too corny, as Beautiful Losers is an independent film opening tomorrow at New York’s IFC Center. The story follows some loose-knit youngsters finding common ground at a New York City storefront gallery which offers them an opportunity to dig into the subcultures of punk, hip-hop, skateboarding, graffiti, and surfing. In commemoration of the film, Nike Sportswear’s Jesse Leyva created a series of 22 Beautiful Losers Nike Dunks. After going on exhibit at the New York and Los Angeles ‘Make Something!’ workshops, 2 sets of the sneakers will be put on auction with proceeds donated to the Children’s Aid Society. Kind of deep, huh? Losers or not, the sneakers are beautiful. See them after the break.

    BEAUTIFUL LOSERS NYC SCREENING SCHEDULE:
    IFC Center
    323 6th Ave (at W 3rd St), NYC
    Showtimes for Friday 8.8.08—Tuesday 8.12.08:
    12:45, 2:30, 4:15, 6:15, 8:20*, 10:20pm*, plus Fri-Sat: 12:15am
