This sneaker kinda puts me in the mind of an LA Lakers shoe but little more subtle. This new Nike WMNS Dunk High manages the perfect autumn look through the use of the soft purple shade known as Daybreak. This lavender hue looks dope with a weave of ballistic nylon I’ve not seen before, and alongside Sail and Vegas Gold accents to round out the muted colorway. Click the jump below for more images…
This retro of the Air Jordan 1 High features a mix of grey tones such as Dark Charcoal, Stealth, and Light Graphite with a Team Red trim on the midsole stitching and Jumpman branding and a white bottom sole to complement the black midsole. The Air Jordan 1 retro ‘Stealth’ will be available next month August for retail but you snatch up a pair on eBay now!!
The White/Spice Air Jordan 5 Fusion boasts full grain premium textured leather on the toe box and heel panel along with some perforated leather on the side panel. Add in a beautiful splash of color with the use of spice red, teal and black on the midsole and you have yourself a great looking summer shoe. To be released sometime this month.
Nike is releasing the Nike Sportswear Canarinho Collection, which is inspired by Brazil’s 1958 World Cup Victory.
Included in the pack are two pairs of Nike Blazer Mids, a Dunk Low, and a Tennis Classic, all of which feature a combination of dark and vibrant hues. The term Canarinho means Canary, which would explain the illustrations of birds that appear on the tongue tag of each shoe. Unfortunately they are limited to Brazilian accounts, but I’m gonna def try to find em on E-Bay!!

The latest Air Royal Mid is mostly black leather, but adds a good portion of white and select purple hits to liven things up. I think I like the Air Royal so much because of the similarities to the Air Jordan 1.
Jordan Brand continues to released a new colorway in their Air Jordan 1
(I) Outdoor model, here’s a pair dubbed the Laser Blue editions. The upper consists of two shades of grey, including light grey perforated leather on the side panels/toe area, and darker grey on the toe box. Finishing off the design is the use of a laser blue design on the contrast stitching, toe, and back end of the shoe. The design is topped off, or should we say, bottomed off, by a translucent blue sole. Look for them to release to JB retailers in the near future. Info via Dunk. More detailed pics after the cut…
These three Blazer Mid’s don’t actually consist of quilted satin. Instead of quilting the material a flat satin was used throughout the side panels consisting of gold stitching that you’d see in place had the material been quilted. The toe, lace panels and heel spine are all finished in a matching shade of leather, while the heel tab and Swoosh pair up to add in some accenting coloring. You also have the Chinese-like “NIKE” lettering on the heel tab which was included on the pack on low’s, along with the pure white vulcanized sole unit.
Don’t know if they’re US bound yet but I can’t wait to get my hands on the purple ones.

The silhouette of Flytop’s have always caught my eye but the colorways have not always been a favorite. This pair mixes the two concepts, as it is all white, but uses a unique and eye-catching woven treatment in its quarter panel. That area relies on pearl white and standard white leather strips weaving in and out one another. The remainder of the shoe is white, with perforation appearing at various points.

The newly-designed Jordan Rare Air has been one of the most talked-about sneakers over the past month. The previously posting of the first White/Black-Cement Gray colorway is my favorite but these go hard too.
Many of you will probably warm up to the Jordan Rare Air model after seeing this colorway. As opposed to the aforementioned white/black-cement’s all-leather construction, this particular Jordan Rare Air features an all-suede base. As for other design cues, monochromatic cement print designs appear on the heel and toe area, while a speckled section alongside the midsole may remind many of the Air Jordan IV. In addition, fire red hints, such as the lacelock and the Jumpman logo, are paired with the midsole of the same color to give this Jordan Rare Air a nice color contrast.

Under the Vans umbrella are a number of sub-brands and sneaker lines. From Vault to Syndicate to just regular inline goods, Vans silhouettes are divided and branded for a number of reasons. The next line,OTW, is opening with a bang as the Cali company is using the opportunity to also introduce the Alomar.
The intent of the new line is to take skate style but are not held to the design constraints that would apply for a true skate performance sneaker. This model is based on the Chukka, which can be seen from the ankle down. Premium material, including suede, is used throughout the collection and its current 4 colorways. Expect this shoe to make a splash when it drops in early June.
I’m most definitely feeling these right here!! All the colorways are dope…and now I have a reason to cop me some Vans.
