Photo Blue Blazers

Photo Blue is making quite a few rounds this year and while we have seen it on a few Blazers this model is definitely one of the more demure colorways.

The Nike Sportswear Blazer SP features a Black tumbled leather upper with mainly white details on the swoosh, outsole, laces and heel. Photo Blue hops in on the help out via the tongue tag and outsole for that extra touch of oomph. It’s easy to miss unless somebody is really watching your feet but trust us with these on they will be.

FIBA Air Force 1 Low

Just yesterday the Nike Air Force 1 lows that represent several different nations participating in the FIBA Basketball Championships were unveiled to an excited New York audience attending Nike’s first annual World Basketball Festival. For those of you who weren’t able to score a pair or want to try and purchase a different country’s pair, then you can head over to the online Nike store to purchase any/all of these, which are each retailing for $125.

Candy Painted Retro 2's

This year seems to be the year of the Air Jordan IIs, with the 25th Anniversary AJ II, the OG White/Black/Red AJ II and the recently released University Blue AJ II. Now it looks like three more pairs of the Air jordan IIs will drop in October of this year. The up coming AJ IIs is dubbed the ‘Candy’ pack because of their bright color scheme, which comes in a Green, a Yellow and a Red colorway. All of the shoes have the same color-blocking and features a mix of a nubuck and a snake skin leather on the upper like most Air Jordan IIs, with a black mid-sole and white outer-sole. The Air Jordan II ‘Candy’ pack isnt schedule to release until October 30th, so till then stick with Sneakerfiles for the lastest updates on this pack.

Curren$y says No to Fusions

Many Jordan heads and Sneaker heads may not like the whole fusion idea, and rapper Curren$y is one to agree. Curren$y describes the AJ fusion line by saying “It’s like an Air Force 1 dressing up like a Jordan for Halloween” , which I may say is pretty funny. You can see what else Curren$y got to say about Air Jordan fusions after the jump.

Chocolate Jordan I

This AJ 1 retro features a mix of autumn colors, a chocolate leather upper and velvet brown take the upper with a garnet red swoosh and Air Jordan Wings logo with sage green on the laces, midsole stitching, and inner lining. These will be hitting retail next month august, but for now check out the detail shots after the jump.This shoes look to be a hit with the return of cold weather with their almost bootlike appearance.

Jackthreads

For those of you who dont know what it is, Jackthreads is a websit that offer limited time sales on many popular clothing lines. Often they have 2 day sales on a specific line with discounts up to about 80% most of the time its 51% which is still an awesome deal. Its a invite only website so if anyone wants to join email me at lilfrank011@gmail.com and request an invite. I'd be more than happy to help out my readers upgrade their swag for cheaper than usual. I guess im just that kind of nice guy lol

Prime 5.... WTF Jordan

The Prime 5 is a hybrid, shocker I know, of the Jordan Alpha 1 and the Air Jordan 5. Obviously the Alpha 1 design is used primarily for the silhouette with hits of the Jordan 5 on the toe box, heel panel, top eyelets, mesh side panel, tongue and collar lining. A phylon midsole and bottom loaded full length Zoom Air are in place for great cushioning, possibly the only thing great about this model, all sitting atop a clear outsole.

These are going to be hitting retailers for JB’s spring lineup in 2011 and will most likely end up with the rest of the Alpha 1’s… on the clearance rack.

Vans Sk8-Hi Decostructs

Recently, we’ve gotten some good looks at how the Vans team has drawn from and applied certain cultural influences to its shoe line. Here’s some more. After last year’s successful collaboration between Vans and Japan’s FLAUGE, the Deconstruct Vans Sk8-Hi returns in burgundy, black, and grey. As one might be able to deduce from the sneaker model’s nickname, the Vans Sk8-Hi Deconstruct was freed of padding to result in a more lightweight frame and has the Vans stripe logo only embroidered in the same color as the upper to give a “one piece” feel to it. What are your thoughts on the Vans Sk8-Hi Deconstruct?

Foamposite Blazers

Blazers and Foamposite’s have both gone pretty hard this year. We have seen the Blazer given a number of color ways from the Nike Blazer GS Rubik’s Cube, the Nike Blazer Lux Strap Tier Zero to the Nike Blazer High Carbon Fiber and the Foamposite will always be a crowd favorite. So combining the two should be a proverbial Reese’s Cup of sorts.

The super lightweight material is used for the upper in a dark pine green color while the swoosh and heel are left to black nubuck. As the detailed shots show even the shoes midsole is covered in the material for a nice twist on the shoes normal vulc footing. These are at select House of Hoops locations now.

The shoes game news will be back in full swing as of now!

Releases For June 6 ( Air Yeezy)

Time for a release rundown for june 6, 2009.

The time has finally come for the third colorway of arguably the most sought after sneaker of 2009, the Nike Air Yeezy, to release. There is no denying the hype behind this sneaker. The first colorway sold out within minutes, the second colorway sold out within minutes, and the third colorway is expected to sell out–no surprise here–within minutes. If you are currently not in line in front of a store expected to carry the Air Yeezy, you have an extremely low chance of purchasing the sneakers for even close to retail price. Nonetheless, this Nike Air Yeezy features a tan upper with pink accents seen via the inner lining, dark grey accents seen on the toecap, a white mid-sole, and a glow-in-the-dark sole.

Though the Air Yeezy is most definitely the more sought after sneaker dropping this weekend, Jordan Brand will also be releasing a new colorway of the Air Jordan Fusion IX (9) tomorrow. This AJF9 hosts a white leather upper with black and varsity red accents. This colorway is the fifth style of the Air Jordan Fusion 9, which meshes together the Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 9 (IX). The Nike Air Yeezy and the Air Jordan Fusion 9 will retail for $215 and $160, respectively

Wooly Vans

The newest pack of sneakers from the California skate brand, Vans, is based off of a material not usually found on footwear—wool. This Vans Vault Wool Collection is composed of four models: Vans Slip-On, Sk8 High, Old Skool, and Chukka Boot. All four silhouettes feature dark premium leather, suede, and wool uppers accented by a cream sole. If you have an obsession with wool or are just a fan of Vans’ latest creation, you can cop all four pairs in the Fall and Winter of 2009.

AF1 Bespoke

The Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke has been dropping in many personalized styles, including this Nike AF1 Bespoke by Brian A. Ruffin at 21 Mercer. These Bespokes definitely take after some Jordans, with its elephant cement print on the back heel panel. The shoe also features a white leather toe area, grey suede side panel, black midsole, black leather swoosh, and icey translucent outsole as most Bespokes sport. The lacelocks are customized to read “3477.” The back heel tab rocks a nice black leather material as well to finish off this shoe.

Vans Sk8-Hi

California skate troupe Vans is set to release a new version of the Sk8-Hi LX. The classic hightop is draped in black/white/blue color scheme and features a combination leather/patent leather upper. A multicolored “sprinkle” pattern marks up the black accents and the stripe emblem. Under the hood, the Sk8-Hi LX incorporates a white/black-tipped vulcanized midsole for improved durability. The Vans Sk8-Hi is available now at Vans Vault accounts and online in the United States.

Air Yeezy!!!!

Not yet sold on the upcoming Nike Air Yeezy releasing on May 2nd? Well these pictures may change your mind as they provide a detailed view of the next installment in the Kanye West collection. This Air Yeezy consists of a subtle combination of black, grey and pink. Other details include Yeezy’s “Y” print ont he patent leather strap and on the back heel. The inner lining is also colored with pink for a nice contrast. Get your chairs and camping gear ready for this one as it has been said people have already started lining up a few spots. The sneakers will be sold on May 2nd with a retail price of $215, but don’t expect them to stay that low once they are all sold out and hit the internet.

Release Weekend

Tomorrow, March 14, 2009, marks the beginning of a huge sneaker release weekend. Though nothing extremely limited will be released this weekend, the sheer amount of Air Jordans releasing will make the wallets of Air Jordan lovers worldwide feel a bit lighter. First, Jordan Brand will continue honoring Michael Jordan’s legacy this weekend by dropping the Air Jordan Championship Pack - Seattle Supersonics. Next, Jordan Brand focuses a bit more towards one of the best point guards in the NBA, Chris Paul. Paul’s signature sneaker, the Air Jordan CP3 II is set to release in a new black on black colorway this weekend. The Air Jordan I (1) will also be making an appearance in retailers this weekend with the new “Sapphire” AJ1 High and the “Jetstream” AJ1 Low Velcro. Lastly, the Air Jordan Force VI (6) 5/8 will also be dropping in a new white and black colorway.

Nike Dunk Meets Quagmire

After many rumors of being released spread across the web, Nike has finally released the SB Dunk High Quagmire. You may have heard of the name Quagmire before. That’s because you have seen the show “Family Guy” on television. The SB takes after the character Glen Quagmire’s infamous flowered red shirt that he’s always sporting. The Dunk High features a blue suede toebox, swoosh, and upper heel, while contrasted by a red suede inner lining and upper, where you can see the stitched yellow flowers. The shoe also features a white midsole and white stitching towards the heel, and to finish it off, a dark gum sole. The shoe speaks for itself, and it’s for those who are ready to have a fun time.

Wearable Shoe Tree (My Personal Review)

All in all they work perfectly, and its nice to know seeing as i just bought a pair of ajf 20. Although I think the day i can really give it my "must-buy seal" will be the day i wear them to a party and see how the inserts hold up afterward.


But I would probably buy this if i were you.(sorry i couldn't get you guys any savings on this but make a video like mine and send them it and you can get a free pair. Essentially its a buy 1 get 1 free deal)

“100 years came and another 100 past

little did they know, nothing would forever last

the land they knew stood for “liberty and justice for all”

however, “we the people” didn’t include them at all

words on paper held no weight

it was time for judicial battle at the mahogany gate

they moved left and then shifted right

they fought for freedom keeping equality in sight

laws were challenged and changes were made

giving us the right to make the grade

thanks to those who fought the fight
