Nike Black History Month Pack

February is not only about valentines day of course. It's a month to celebrate the achievements of African Americans of the past, present and future. What better way to shine light on such a viable month than to create sneakers?
The Nike Black History Month pack will include: the Air Force One, Nike Zoom Kobe VI, Converse EVO, and Air Jordan III. Thanks to sole redemption for the update, click the link below for more pics and info.http://www.soleredemption.com/nike-2011-black-history-month-pack/

REEBOK FREESTYLE VALENTINES DAY

Reebok is ready for Valentines Day again with these sweet renditions of the classic Freestyle. The colorway is suppose to be a chocolate covered strawberry, the front is 'dipped' in chocolate, the interior is green, and the outside is red with seeds. Is it ironic that I love these?? :)





These 2 below are from last years valentines day pack...not feeling the low-tops. Gross. The 2011 edition will be out on, you guessed it, valentines day.





According to the chinese year, I personally fall under year of the dragon. The kicks below are Nikes Air Force One interpretation of the year of the rabbit. The fruit punch red and bright blue have a summer time feel to them. It's the ninth pair of the chinese lunar new year series by Nike. However I got good and bad news. Good news is you don't have to be under the year of the rabbit to rock these, bad news is they are set to release only in china so you'll have to pay a hell of a shipping fee to get these. Huge shout out to sneaker freaker for the pics and update!



The Dragon Supreme Air Forces came out 2 years ago..how'd I miss em? Orange scales really? Dope.



Air Jordan Retro XIII (13) AKA ‘Playoffs’

Drum roll pleaaaase!


The moment you and yours truly have been waiting for. The playoff 13's will be released on February 26th(they haven't been out since '97 this is a big deal!) so make sure you sweeten up a little bit more this valentines day so you can ask your love one to cop these for you. All black leather tops with red and white bottoms these things are RAW. $160.

Jordan Sky High Canvas Retro

Not a huge fan of the canvas shoes like these but this colorway is actually pretty dope. The Sky high models have been low key and sneakerheads have been patiently awaiting some new styles. These are set to release next month.




Below are colorways that dropped back in Sept of this past year. The black/red pair are an easy favorite of mine. I need these.





Black leather joints are nice too tho...the white ones, not so much but im sure someone out there can pull these off phenomenally. Price tag $85 you can scoop these at Jordan retail shops

Happy Birthday Aaliyah

Sorry for the little hiatus but I'm back in time to honor one of my favorite singers of all time. Today is the birthday of the one and only Aaliyah Dana Haughton. She is the epitome of class, beauty and musical talent. When we lost her in 2001, it was a great blow to music industry. Let's remember her today and always. RIP Baby girl.

Air Force Meets Duck Boot?

One of the most recognizable shoes aside from Jordans, The Air Force One has just been upgraded and waterproofed ladies and gents. The designers at Nike have combined the distinguished silhouette with the water resistant duck boot bottom. The inside is also thermal insulated so these bad boys are equipped fo rain, sleet or snow if need be. No release date as of yet but stay tuned.

Jordan V.2 Grown

Waaay out of my league but here is a new colorway for the Jordan V.2 Grown Line. The eccentric blue bottoms meshed with the cool grey top is a divine matchup..still a little out of this world for my taste.





The line, which kicked off summer of 2010, includes other color ways if these are bit too 'gourmet' for your palate. Grey and black pair are my favorites.




NIKE Women's Terminator High AKA HoneyComb


No set date for release on these but wow..these are amazing. Im usually not a fan of women's sneaks myself, but anything called 'honeycomb' is all good with me. All leather honeycomb material with a peach lining and a smooth cream sole; these are badass if you pull them off with a nice pair of jeans. Im gonna keep my eyes on the lookout for these.
