Air Max 90 -Silver Euro Champs



Date: 4/28/08
Time: 9:18 Pm
Location: iMac

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.

Nike recently released several Nike Air Force 1s featuring mesh in the mid panel. As part of this "Mesh" Pack, Nike recently released the "Mesh" Pack Nike Air Force 1 Low. The "Mesh" Pack Nike Air Force 1 Low features a predominantly Grey leather upper with a White toebox and Swoosh, a Black midsole, and a Red outsole. The mesh in the "Mesh Pack" comes in the form of a mesh White Mesh hit with a Black backing in the mid panel.

I have always like the different types on material on sneakers. Also, the fact that a few different subtle colors are involved is also something that I appreciate.

Heaven and Hell

Wow. Haven't posted in forever.

Originally seen back in February was an upcoming collaborative effort between Singaporean sneaker store Leftfoot, New Balance and famous sneaker customizers SBTG and Methamphibian. The duo set forth with the theme of "Heaven and Hell", an evolution of their initial plan of basing it on East (SBTG) meets West (Methamphibian). The two colors on the surface are distinguished by black and white, however upon further inspection, details come to life in a series of intricate highlights and exploration that pushes the realm of sneaker design. A special slide box is included which features a tiger camo print which enables you to place the slide-out portion and the box together to create a full out art piece

Spring-Summer Collection Nike 10AC

"10AC Brainstorming" is an interview on Houyhnhnm mag with the extremely knowledgeable designers behind Nike's high-tech 10AC line. The article discusses the unique process behind the creation of this superior sports wear technology. We are also able to gain insight about the people who are behind the scenes. The key to excellent design in this case is taking the time to do things properly and "communication". The article is thus called "10AC Brainstorming". A key element of the garments are light-weight breathable fabrics, and "Dri Fit" fabric technology. This consists more or less of moisture expelling treatments and high breathability, keeping the body and clothes free of perspiration. The Spring/Summer '08 line was built around one theme color "Orange Blaze" and we can see this utilized on the windbreaker and pants, using an Orange that fades into white fumes.

Last year Nike released several colorways of their Nike Air Force 1 Low utilizing the classic canvas upper to critical acclaim. This year, Nike is continuing their releases of canvas Nike Air Force 1 styles, but this time, its the Ladies' turn. To kick off their canvas WMNS AF1 releases, Nike recently released the "Lucky Green" Canvas Nike Air Force 1 Low.

New to this year's canvas Air Force Ones, the "Lucky Green" WMNS Nike Air Force 1 Low features a Green translucent outsole.

Simple. Plain. Effective. The nices part about these is the fact the canvas by far. It has been in the woods for quiet sometime. I need a smaller foot.
