  • Nike Dunk Japanese City Pack – Tokyo/Fukuoaka/Nagoya/Osaka

    Nike Dunk Japanese City Pack - Tokyo/Fukoaka/Nagoya/Osaka

    This Pack is from Japan’s Nike. It has 4 Dunks. Each Dunk has been designed to refer to a famous landmark or feature of the city that is represented. All their colors are customized to reflect the special traits of the cities. They all look good and this range aims to capture every taste. The pictures are borrowed from SneakerFreaker.

    The Fukuoaka Dunk Low has a white toe box that is framed by a blue border. The midsection is colorful. The Nike swoosh is gold.

    The Osaka Dunk Hi has the same blue border around the toe box. The main section has red-white pin stripes. It represents Doutonbori; a drumming doll. The Nike swoosh is in a striking black color. The red shoe laces complement the red pin stripes.

    The Nagoya Dunk is gold colored. It represents the dolphin that is the mascot for the city. The white lace and green inner lining are good matches for the gold colorway.

    The black and white Dunk is the hairy Tokyo Dunk. This represents the big panda named Ling-Ling. This is the easiest Dunk to identify. The off white color of the main body looks good with the black colored accents. I prefer this Dunk because it is versatile and can be used in many functions.

  • Nike Osaka Dunks

    Nike has unveiled a four pack of Dunk Highs that honor the various traditions and symbols of Japan. Basketball players, skaters and sneaker fans can honor Osaka with the pair of Nike Dunks shown above. This red/blue/white colorway is all over the place in terms of design aesthetic with mixed results.

    I love the red octopus placed on the back panel of both Osaka Dunks. This octopus adds a playful touch that plays well off of the light blue leather. My main problem with the Osaka Dunks is the candy stripe design that runs from the eyelets to the outsole on both sides of the shoe. The red octopus and laces do not mesh well with the striped design and I would feel like a candy cane if I walked down the street in these shoes. I think these Dunks are pretty solid though I would pass on them due to the crazy stripes. Check out another picture of the shoe after the post.

    Adidas Consortium Casual Series

    The latest Adidas Consortium Collection is the Casual Series. This collection features classic Adidas model, such as the Bamba, Samba, Tobacco, Forest Hills and Jean, in premium materials, interesting patterns and different textures.

    These shoes feature jersey, plaid, tartan, corduroy and other materials. The red and grey tartan pattern is definitely my favorite, but several of these shoes are nice choices. These sneakers will be on the shelves of premier sneaker boutiques in upcoming weeks. Via HighSnobiety

  • DQM x Nike Blazer Hi Tier 0 – violet & black colorways

    DQM x Nike Blazer Hi Tier 0 - black & purple colorways

    The violet colorway will be released on May 3.

    Nike has collaborated with a retailer from New York – Dave’s Quality Meat (DQM). They have prepared a limited release of the Nike Blazer Hi. The original version was released in 1973. This Nike Blazer Hi is Nike’s first Hoops shoe. It is Nike’s first basketball sneaker. The style is respected as an icon.

    The team of designers spent time in the Nike Design library at World Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon. They chose to use this full grain leather and the classic Safari print on premium suede. The design team then split into two groups. The 2 groups then worked separately to see which team could create the best color way for the Nike and DQM Blazer Mid. They came up with 3 versions in 3 colorways.

    The black colorway is a formal looking sneaker. The shoe upper has the Safari patterns and this makes the upper look good. The Nike swoosh’s bright blue is an attractive accent for the shoe. The pink colored back stab, tongue label and inner lining complement one another nicely.

    The violet colorway has a white Nike swoosh. The yellow tongue tab and back stab complement each other. The inner lining is black colored. I prefer the black colorway of this DQM x NikeBlazer Tier 0 shoe.
