This Nike Air Trainer SC is designed using very subtle colors. Basically, it is in black and white and shades of in-between. The greys are the shades of black.This sneaker will be available at Hangtime. The cost is around 12,000- 13,500 yen for one pair.
The toe box has premium leather that is perforated. The toe box has a striking covering of shiny, black leather.It has a strip of leather that runs down, vertical to the lengthwise of the shoe. There are two pairs of shoe lace thread-through holes. They are in orange. There are accents using leather in a darker shade of grey. These panels have machined stitches that provide a detailed pattern crossing over the dark grey accent. The stitches make the panel interesting. Both panels of dark grey leather have the elaborate machine stitching.I like the tongue which is made from a shiny, mesh-like material.

Keep your eyes out for another Nike SB release for the upcoming 08 year. It’s called the Zoom Air Abington and features a black/light graphite colorway, along with a mix of materials such as: leather, suede and perforated leather .

The death of Underground King (UGK) co-founder Pimp C on December 4, 2007 was a shock to rap fans throughout the United States. Pimp C’s work with UGK and collaborations with other rappers helped influence rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West. The King of Sneakers honored Pimp C’s legacy and memory recently with a pair of custom Nike Air Force Ones.  

A likeness of Pimp C in black and yellow is laid out on the right shoe. The designer used the UGK name in white and Pimp C in black set against a rich brown background on the left toe box. You can look at the picture below to see the birth and death date of Pimp C on the outside heel of the right shoe. All of the elements of a good memorial are placed on this shoe. Anyone who loves rap music and wants to honor an underrated member of the musical community can check out The King of Sneakers website.

The Nike Cortez has undergone the vintage treatment. The stained laces and yellowed midsoles aim to give these sneakers an old school feel.

Three colorways are available right now at various Nike dealers and at LTD Online. Two of the colorways are black (or nearly black). One has a wine color Swoosh, while the other bears an orange Swoosh.The white shoes have a black Swoosh.

These are very simple kicks with nothing particularly special about them. If you are a Cortez fan, then I’d imagine you might want a pair. Outside of that, they are pretty drab.

Another Vans Chukka has been released. This one has a different look compared to previous versions.

The Vans Chukka LX is a good looking casual shoe with some style. The woven knit black and grey uppers remind you of a winter sweater. The front of the shoe is black suede, which is contrasted by the stark white midsole and laces.

These shoes are available right now from local Vans retailers for $80. You can’t beat the price!

This Nike shoe was designed out of the inspiration from the Gibson guitar case. The pink furry outline for the edge comes from the imitation of the case which uses furry material. It would be available at Nike SB.
