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.

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.

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.

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
