One of the most anticipated Reebok dual label sneaker projects is set for release on May 31st at Bodega(6 clearway St./Boston).

Designed by Bodega, the Escape Pack was inspired by the renegade, borderline legal, semi-dangerous, insanely cheap, revolutionary, independently run bus lines that link Boston's Chinatown to NYCs Chinatown.
 
Retailing for $200(USD),  the pack includes everything you need to escape to another city for an overnight excursion. An exquisitely designed Reebok Omni Pump Lite is the centerpiece of the project featuring a luminous jade and charcoal color-way detailed with a map of the route embossed on the ankle collar. A matching 5-panel cap by "ELM" and tee are also included in the pack. Various essentials including, but not limited to, mix-tapes, rolling, papers, paint markers, and good luck charms round out the contents of this extremely limited release. Only 100 Escape packs have been produced. Within ONE of the packs is a GOLDEN TICKET upgrade. The lucky winner of the upgrade will get airfare to anywhere in the continental US, as well as a suitcase filled with past limited releases from Reebok.

Once again not only a great sneaker by the Bodega crew, but also an overall exciting execution of the project.

The Nike Air Max 90 Infrared alongside the Air Max 95 Neon are models which have represented the two most popular original colorways from Air Max line from Nike. Despite the inception of visible Air Unit goodness in 1987 with the Air Max 1, the effect began to reach monumental levels in 1990 with the release of the Infrared 90. Twenty years since the original release and the re-branding of a segment of Nike's leisure  and lifestyle brand on the horizon, the legend has been revisited. Embodying the similar aesthetics from the past, the Air Max 90 for 2008 features updated technical and performance aspects to revive the high performing aspect of the Air Max collection in a more modern setting.

White Gum Blazers

Although it has been a while since we have seen a White/Gum Nike air Force 1, this straight classic Summer combination is  on the new "White/Gum" Nike Blazer High. As the nickname says, the "White/Gum" Nike Blazer High has a White Leather upper sitting on a Gum bottom.To me gum bottom cna really set the tone for any sneaker  and usually makes them look 1000 times better. The White leather upper has a perforated toe box. The heal tab on these Blazers has a green Patten with a Purple Nike embroidery.

Brazil Dunk High

Date: 5/8/08

Time: 6:10 Pm

Location: iMac

Apparently part of the latest Euro Champ Pack of sneakers from Nike inspired by a bunch of soccer nations, this Dunk High draws reference to the infamous Brazilian soccer team in their iconic yellow/green colorway. But obvious geographical differences all but enures that Brazil won't be on hand for Euro 2008, co-hosted by Austria and Switzerland. This particular Brazilian inspired release seems like a suitable modern update to previous Brazil inpired Dunks seen in the past.

Anthracite Pack

General releases are usually a hit or miss when it comes to sneakerheads. In some rare cases, it’s knocked out of the park and that’s what keeps us coming back for more. Recently released to all major athletic stores and e-tailers like Eastbay, the Nike Anthracite pack is just that. The simple color scheme alongside some detailed accents is eye catching in a modern but kind of old school way. The standout sneaker in this pack is by far the Blazer High in my opinion. This sneaker was recently seen on Jay-Z during a concert in California. The other two sneakers that make up this pack are the Air Max LTD and the Vandal Low.

Air Max 90 -Silver Euro Champs

Continuing their "Euro Champs" Package into other kicks outside of the Dunk, Nike recently released 3 Air Max 90s dedicated to the European Soccer Championship. As part of this trio, Nike released the "Silver Euro Champs" Nike Air Max 90. The "Silver" Nike Air Max 90 has a completely Grey Leather/Metallic Silver upper with a mesh toebox and mesh ankle collar. Which makes this an excellent summer kick with the simplicty of the sneaker. You can also rock these anywhere with anything.The monotone upper sits on a White/Blue speckled midsole.Speckeled midsoles is something I have always been a sucker for. Overall I feel as if these are a must cop for myself.
