Converse X Undefeated X (RED) "No Raw Dogs"


Being a sneakerfiend myself I immedietaly fell in love with these beautiful Chuck Taylor Allstars. 




I learned that Undefeated and Converse teamed up wo make these one of a kind Chuck’s as part of the 1HUND(RED) campaign. If you haven’t heard Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists is a year long global project to support Converse’s long-term partnership with (PRODUCT) RED and commemorate the brands 100th anniversary celebration in 2008. The theme for this particular canvas is “NO Raw Dogs”. Classic! Props to Undefeated for another great shoe! I got a few detailed pics.

Nike Blazer High- Red/Black/Silver


Here’s a look at the latest Nike Blazer that actually doesn’t look half bad. This Blazer High is composed of grey, red, and black with a metallic silver swoosh to tie everything in. The metallic swoosh is a nice compliment to grey and black upper. There hasn’t been much information released about this Blazer but it has been reported that it has a flower print on the insole. Expect to see the metallic silver Blazer High in stores soon. Via Sole Fresh.

Nike SB "720 Degrees" Dunks


Nike SB has been paying homage to the early days of skateboarding media with special Dunks that take inspiration from movie and video game covers. Two months ago, Nike SB released the Electronic Arts classic "Skate or Die" but this month will see Atari's“720 Degrees” Dunks.
Nike SB didn’t overlook any details with a checkerboard liner and all of the other neon colors making their way to the shoe via different panels, stitching, labels, and shoe laces. The “720 Degrees” Dunks are popping up at SB shops in May, but if they sell anything like the “Skate or Die” Dunks, it would be wise to be in touch with the spot sooner rather than later. 

I personally like the Skate or Die's better. But to each its own.

NIKE SB Mid Moat


Nike SB has joined with Barak Wiser of SPOT to release a very limited edition Nike SB Dunk Mid Moat. The sneakers will be available at Skatepark of Tampa on April 25th, 2008 for $95. I'd buy em.

Bape LA Opening Party


What a turnout. A number of celebs showed up for the opening of Bape LA. After month's of speculation, Bape Los Angeles has finally opened its doors. A huge round up of celebrities were in attendance including Mike "Quote Machine" Tyson, NERD, Dr. Romanelli, Kaws, Takashi Murakami and of course above all else Nigo. The store's decor is marked by traditional Bape influences including the sneaker conveyor belt neon lighting and liberal use of camo prints.

Rockwell x Alife x Patta Rap Everybodi Mid



Alife has collaborated withe friend Patta in an interesting three some that includes Amsterdam’s Rockwell. The “RAP” (Rockwell x Alife x Patta) edition Everybody Mid is one of Alife’s top collabs yet that employs their silhouette. Keeping it basic, the shoe sports a solid royal upper but multiple materials add interest blending canvas, nylon, and perforated nubuck. Red and white eyelets alternate along with other splashes of the color to make this a good shoe for the 4th of July BBQ.

The "RAP” Everybody Mid releases April 29th at Patta in Amsterdam and then May 3rd at all three Alife shops (NYC, LA, Vancouver). Photos compliments of Patta.

Undftd x Vans Sk8-Hi Restock



These UNDFTD Vans Sk8-Hi’s may look a little familiar as they released about a year ago, but they have received a restock supply of them available exclusively on the UNDFTD E-Store. Consider this your one and only opportunity to get a pair of UNDFTD collab shoes for $60. the UNDFTD Jordans are costing close to two mortgage payments these days.See Nicekicks.com for more info and pics.


DQM X NIKE BLAZER




Dave’s Quality Meat has had a storied relationship with Nike including one of the most valuable Air Max collabs to date with the “Bacon” Air Max 90s. The DQM team has hooked up with Nike this time around for their take on the Blazer. We can only speculate that this is work between DQM and Nike SB, but nothing is conclusive from the photos.

These are a definite Buy for me.....
