Parra x Nike Air Max 1
For later this year, Nike worked with Dutch artist Parra on a collaborative Air Max 1. The sneaker comes with an all black upper with interesting use of different premium materials. The mid-sole is speckled in the artist’s trademark colors and the in-soles carry his art. Accents on the sneakers upper are set in turquoise. Even the stitching comes in the artists colors, which is a very nice detail, on the otherwise very subtle looking shoe. Via mashKULTURE.
DJ Clark Kent Gives Away Air Yeezy’s
By now everyone knows DJ Clark Kent is a true stand up guy. His shoe game is beyond official and not to mention he has access to Nike’s Innovation Kitchen. With that said, its really no biggie for DJCK to give sneakers away. Remember the 112 Pack giveaway? Well, Clark blessed a guy by the name of Gatsby with a FREE pair of black Air Yeezy’s at Sneaker Pimps Los Angeles. Oh, so you don’t believe me? Check out the video and see for yourself.
Asics x Gettry Procourt AR “Hamburger”
It looks like sneaker designers are looking for new inspiration, in this case fast food. Asics got together with retailer Gettry to create the “Hamburger” Procourt AR. All colors of the hamburger ingredients are represented on the upper of the sneaker, which comes in a mix of materials. They did also not forget the french fries, those you find on the inner sole.
Final Home x G-Shock Mini
Once again Japanese brand Final Home gets together with G-Shock. The design stayed the same, the color changed. Now coming in a light grey colorway, the G-Shock Mini comes with some nice printed details, mainly on the strap, reminding of a birth bracelet. The watch comes packaged in a nice paper box and is now available from Tres Bien.
Nike Summer 2009 Footwear
Lots of new Nike sneakers have released as part of their Summer 2009 Collection. Available now are new colorways of the Big Nike Hi, several Big Nike Low’s, several Blazer Hi’s, new Air Max’s, the Jordan 1 Hi in canvas and suede make-ups, Jordan 1 Hi and Lo with green polka dots, a new Air Structure Triax and the Air Tech Challenge Hybrid in the black colorway. You will have a hard time choosing your favorites. All these new styles are now available from Proper.
Vael Fall/Winter 2009 Terminatrix
Vael is introducing an interesting new high top sneaker as part of their Fall/Winter 2009 Collection - the Terminatrix. The sneaker comes in a nice premium leather with an overall interesting construction and great details, including lacing and a zipper, contrasting stitching, beautiful branding and a nice clean white sole.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 High Top Sneakers
Vainl Archive x Porter Backpacks
Japanese brands Vainl Archive and Porter worked together on a series of backpacks. The backpacks come in very durable materials and feature a waterproof bottom. From the outside they keep a very clean and basic look, while they feature on the inside everything one could need from a modern backpack, including an integrated laptop sleeve. Via Honeyee.
Hall Of Fame “Triple H Band” New Era Caps
LA based cap specialty store Hall Of Fame has released their latest set of New Era Caps - the Triple H Band styles. We can safely say that we seen a fair amount of New Era caps in recent years, but the addition of the band on the caps looks great and very different and it has not been all over the place already. The cap comes in red/blue/white and in navy/orange/white, both very strong colorways.
Nike Tennis Classic Vintage - Fall ‘09
We’ve already shown you some nice looks at the Vintage versions of Nike’s Tennis Classic model and now it appears that two new colorways will be arriving this coming fall. While the previous Vintage Tennis Classics models that we previewed all stuck to traditional-looking colorways, these new ones add some bolder flavor to the shoe. There will be a white on white version with a neon green lining, heel panel and laces and a black on black that uses the same color blocking, but swaps in a bright red for the accents. Both colorways sport worn and yellowed midsoles and perforated Swooshes. Watch out for these when they hit select Nike retailers this fall. Via HighSnobiety.
Nike Dunk High GS - Optimus Prime
We’ve seen plenty of Transformers-inspired Nikes, but these are perhaps the most fully realized yet. The Nike Dunk High GS appears above in a combination of patent leather and metallic silver leather that reminds your author of his beloved die-cast Optimus Prime circa 1988. The blue patent leather on the toe and side panels features flames that perfectly match the tongue and ankle collar. Toss in an Autobot insignia with wings on the tongue tag and Megatron has some serious competition. Available in a run of small sizes (US 7Y and below), you can cop these now from eBay.
May 15 · Air Jordan VII Black/Charcoal-Team Red - Bulls vs Magic 60+ Pack
On January 16th, 1993, Michael Jordan threw down 64 points on 26 of 47 shooting against Shaq and his Orlando Magic, this being the third time he would score 60+ points. But the World Champs still fell to the Magic 128-124 in overtime, during that game Michael Jordan wore his seventh signature the Air Jordan VII. This year, Jordan Brand will celebrate this scoring achievement along with MJ’s other 60 plus point games with packs of sneakers including the Air Jordan 1 Celtics vs Bulls 60+Pack and the above Air Jordan VII from the Bulls vs Magic 60+ Pack. Based on the colors, the above seem to be a retro of the original 1992 Air Jordan VII “Raptor” Black/True Red colorway. This new colorway is officially Black/Dark Charcoal-Team Red and will be released along with a White/Varsity Royal Air Jordan VII on August 22nd, 2009. Thanks to 52xie

Fresh Produce Daily x S.O.L.E. Fresh x Mickey Factz
Celebrities Wearing the Air Yeezy
Celebrities often influence the latest trends in fashion and purchase behavior of many consumers. It’s a trickle-down effect where items dawned by celebs makes its way to the everyday individuals we encounter on the streets. Kanye West definitely spearheads this movement, as much of his fashion sense has greatly influenced pop culture today (e.g. popped collars, slim-fit denim, vibrant colors, and shutter shades). However, not only does Kanye influence the average consumer (you & I), but also plays a pivotal role in his peers’ outfits.
