    Reebok x Caliroots “Staff” Pack #1

    Check out this collaboration between Reebok and Caliroots with four different sneakers in the pack, each inspired by one of the members of the Caliroots staff. With several different styles for both men and women, you are sure to find on that you will like.

    The cleanest look in the pack is white colorway pictured above. Using patent leather and yellow accents, this is my personal favorite.

    The version with the red, white and black color scheme is the flashiest of the pack, especially with its red shoe laces. Another version uses black, white and multi shades of gray to end up with a laidback look. For the ladies, the pink and metallic silver version is sure to garner some attention.

    This pack will be released on Saturday, April 5th by Caliroots. Each style is limited to 300 pieces. Via High Snobiety.

  • Nike Dunk Hi Worldcup Edition – Sweden/ Korea

    Nike Dunk Hi Worldcup Edition - Sweden
    Nike Dunk Hi World Cup Edition is released with two editions. Check them out at Nike.

    The Swedish edition has a blue/ white/ yellow colorway.There is a good mix of leather so the shoe has lots of quality in it. The toe box has tiny perforations. It has a border of shiny blue leather. The shoe lace holes are lined in the section that has blue, smooth leather. The next section is white leather. Over this runs the yellow Nike swoosh.The section at the heel is blue colored, rough leather. Around the top ankle of the shoe, the material is a composite type of fabric. The back stab at the heel has a shoe hanger. The midsole is white and a striking contrast against the blue sections of the shoe upper. The outsole is blue.

    The red Nike Dunk Hi World Cup is for Korea. The main difference between this red shoe and the Swedish edition is that it has a large section made from red fabric composite. The toe box and borders are made from red, shiny leather. The panel at the heel is red reptile leather as the pattern on the leather can be seen as made up of small squares. The outsole is red.

    Both Dunks are nice looking. I prefer the Swedish edition for a more conservative look.

  • Adidas Gazelles Honor Mark Gonzales

    Adidas has produced a new pair of Gazelles in honor of skateboarder Mark Gonzales. Gonzales became a pioneer in skateboarding by performing tricks in the San Francisco-era during the 1980s. His work as a street skater helped break the sport out of its niche into the general public.

    The Adidas Mark Gonzales Gazelle has brown suede with white leather stripes. The Adidas symbol on the heel tag is an electric blue to match the skateboarder’s signature on the edge of the third stripe. Adidas also placed the signature and the skateboarder’s name in print on the tongue tag to show the importance of his accomplishments. The major distinction between regular Gazelles and the Mark Gonzales Gazelles is a ridged black edge running along the front part of the outsole.

    I love the original Adidas Gazelles and I think that it is great that the company is honoring a legend in the sport. The colorway and blue accents work well together to spruce up one of the company’s signature shoes. These shoes will be spreading like wildfire in the month of April so a trip to your local skate shop now wouldn’t be a bad idea.

  • Nike Super Blazer Low – Black Woven

    Nike Super Blazer Low - Black Woven #1

    A new woven edition of the Nike Super Blazer Low is expected to hit the shelves in the next couple weeks. You may have read about a white version coming out soon and now this is its black counterpart.

    The black woven upper is complemented with a white sole and blue laces. One thing that stands out is the black toe cap on the sole.

    In my opinion, the woven shoes always look better in darker tones, so this shoe should be a good option for Blazer fans.

    Look for the Nike Super Blazer Low at local retailers in upcoming weeks. Via Sneaker News.

  • Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez 2 Black/Clearwater – Nike SB April 2008

    Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez 2 Black/Clearwater, Nike SB April 2008
    Nike SB would release Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez 2 soon in April ’08. Its colorway is black and light blue. It puts the best color forward in having a light blue toe box. It has a border of black and the sole underneath this is white. The tongue is white mesh and ends with a black tab with the logos. The black tab is detailed as it has a leather section and a black mesh section. The yellow shoe lace looks good as the color is a striking one against the black color of the main body of the shoe.

    The main body has a section done in quilted pattern. Over this, the Nike logo runs all the way to the heel.I like the Nike swoosh because it is rather special in having the multiple colors done in hues that merge from one to another. The light blue accent is repeated in a bordering strip around the ankle.

    The outsole is interesting. There is a large patch of light blue in the tread. Next to this is a hexagon that looks like a diamond. The heel has a section in grey color with the white outline of the Nike swoosh. The best feature that I like in this shoe is the rainbow colored Nike swoosh.

    New Balance A14 576 “Coffee Beans” - #1

    As the world continues to “go green,” we are seeing more and more shoes and other fashions made from natural materials and with the environment in mind. The New Balance A14 576 “Coffee Beans,” which is scheduled for release in August 2008, is one of those eco-friendly sneakers.

    This shoe uses a cork and woven hemp upper to create a very natural and neutral yet quite unique appearance. The signature “N” is painted on. These shoes are very simplistic but the texture of the upper is interesting enough that they might get some attention.Check out the detailed pictures after the jump.

    Look for more information about these shoes later in the year. Via streething.
