White Gum Blazers




Date: Mothers Day
Time: 1:05 Pm
Location: iMac

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



Date:5/1/08
Time: 11:09 Pm
Location:iMac

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



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.

Mesh Pack


Date: 4/24/08
Time: 5:53 Pm
Location: iMac

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.
