The Nike Dynasty

Friday December 18, 2009

In time for Valentines Day coming up in February, Nike has dropped two new colorways of its Dynasty model to commemorate the holiday.

Leave it to Nike to keep banging out the kicks. They probably already have 2012 NYE limited editions already popping out of the factory! Is this a good thing?

As I see with our technology, we are so excited about getting all the latest models, updates and editions of almost everything that we rarely enjoy we have in the now. What's wrong with your Nike Dunks from last year? Those were made to last weren't they? Oh, I forgot...Kayne is wearing something different.

You can get these overseas at select Nike retailers. In the meantime, flip through the athletic catalogs for team kicks if you dig this colorway.

New Balance 1400 Spring Sneak Peek

Wednesday December 16, 2009

New Balance has offered a glimpse of two expected Spring release sneaker colorways featuring their 1400 sneaker model.

The first in this series of expected spring release sneakers features a cream/brown colorway, finished with a suede and leather upper. The second colorway is black and brown and is finished in the same suede/leather combination upper.

No word yet on a retail price or exact release date but word is they will hit store shelves in Spring 2010. In the meantime, have a look at some of the other current New Balance 1400 models available online now.

Nike's Lime Vandals For the Ladies

Tuesday December 15, 2009


Do you remember that whole era of after school specials, trading stickers, and going to the roller rink and skating to the beat of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me". Good. Then you might like these Vandal Highs From Nike which remind me of the good times of trading in tickets for cheesy gifts at Major Magics (or Chucky Cheese) or a sparkling episode of Jem and the Holograms.

Peek through your local Nike stores to add these to your holiday tree!

Air Jordan 1 Phat High Detroit Pistons

Friday December 11, 2009


The coolest Air Jordans to hit the streets pay tribute to a city that played a hand in making Nike the king of the streets -- DETROIT.

True, Jordans were created for Chicago Bulls titan Michael Jordan; however, I know for fact that a huge supply of Air Jordans were being dealt and made accessible through Detroit Butcher shops, a.k.a "Your Daily Neighborhood Barber Shop". In the tangled back streets of the city's hoods, selling Jordans was worth more than drugs to gangs in Detroit. And next to sneakers, there's nothing Detroiters love more than the Pistons!

These are definitely the kind of sneakers that will get you robbed if you're caught wearing them alone at night. Or, you'll be robbed by someone wearing them.

Other than that, I think they're on fire! You can get them for $80 at Premium Laces NY.
