Pedro in Paris x Nike

Pedro Winter, aka Busy P wears multiple hats: electro house DJ/producer, longtime Daft Punk manager, and head of France based Ed Banger Records [home to everyone's favorite house duo, Justice]. Well he's recently been tapped to create these:

Only 200 pairs available.

Oh, and for those unfamiliar with Busy P's work...I'll leave you with this:

The Only Sneakers Worth Mentioning Right Now

Because most of the trash that is coming out nowadays isn't even worth dignifying...The sneaker game is getting raped like breakdancing in the mid/late 80s.

Anyway...



Nike ACG Blazers. These joints are dope as hell to me and probably comfortable as all hell, since the ACG series is being designed specifically with the Outdoorsmen in mind. AND, if you can come across these joints you get extra points for accessorizing...



There is also a Windbreaker that goes with the pack...I can't give you everything to look at, find it on your own.

Next up,



The Asics Gel Lyte III. Easily the most slept on sneaker for some reason. If you recall from the last sneaker post that we put up, I had two joints in there that were also Gel Lyte Tres. For some reason, people are sleeping on these joints! They're mad comfy, affordable, and as an added incentive for you wack ass ninjas who don't like searching for sneakers; they've started carrying these jawns in Foot Locker son! Da Fugg? Then again, that doesn't mean shit though...Last time I went into FL I saw some some Charles Barkley's, some Foamposites, some Penny's, AND the Hot Lava Air Max 95 Revivals...I'm not explaining that shit for you if you don't know what they are...Google It.

Finally, the shit that pisses me off.



Air Max 90 Infrared Retros....excuse me, why are we Retro'in a shoe from 2 years ago son? Granted, these joints were ill. But they are retro'in these jawns after only 2 years, and after they dropped an alternate version to them about 2 months ago? Nike is reaching son...the Winter Collection had best be nice...

Half-assed Sneaker Post...you're welcome.

Blog happens...

Greetos. Seen the XXL?  Foxy and/or Jeezy's on the cover.  It's a need read, for the following reasons:

• Brilliant piece on hipster rap [or as I like to call it, the house that Kanye built], citing everyone you know [Lupe, Cool Kids, Kid Sister, Kidz in the Hall], and some you might not [Wale, Mickey Factz, The Knux, Pacific Division].
• Wale's Mixtape About Nothing was pieced, as well.  Got an XL in the Mixtape section.  Gave the links in an earlier entry, so if you're sleeping, go ahead and make that dream lucid.
• Still reading this list, huh?  Yeah, just go ahead and buy it.

What haven't I done?  *light bulb*  Kicks!!

These are the Vans Plaid Pack.  As you can see, they're Vans...and they're plaid.  Left to right: the Zappato Del Marco, the Authentic, the Slip-on, and the Sk8-Hi.  The Sk8's look pretty gr8.

These are available at Proper.  

Nike proudly presents the "Quilted Patent Pack".  All Dunks.  Titled for more than obvious reasons, the colors are inspired by the Olympic rings.  More pics, you say?

You can see the rings on the tongue tags.  Available at Leaders 1354.

Nike Asia presents the Chinese Ceramic Pack: Court Force Low, Trainer Dunk High.  Hmm...not sure if I'd rock them, but...dope nonetheless.

Dear, sweet tenderness.  David Z x Clarks Wallabee Metallic Pack.  Very nice, simply because it's a drastic step away from Clarks conservative colorways.  These won't be out for at least a month, though.

Vans' Mountain Edition High LX.  Waxed leather upper, to withstand autumn conditions.  Get them at Ripe.

Nike's Aged Leather Pack.  Both Court Force Lows.  Those red ones are dangerous:

Out later this year.

So...that's it for now.  Oh, all info and pics snagged from HighSnobiety.

Got $60 Grand to blow?

Why not become a sneakerhead overnight?



No, I am not making this shit up. A homie is selling 250 pairs of various sneakers ranging from Air Forces, to Dunks, to Jumpmans...and from close observation of the picture there are indeed some rarities in the collection.

If you're interested in bidding, or even look at this madness, here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310068089274

Sheesh!

WOW

Air Max 95 Quickstrikes - Miami Vice Edition. Originally only released in Miami, but there was a surplus so they shipped them to a select few retailers. I'm gonna put the link at the very bottom of this post, but just to forewarn, I think I copped that last size 9.

Nike Air Max 1 - Olympic Edition. The colors on these joints are inspired by the colors represented in the Olympic Rings Logo. Fresh.

Cop these at http://www.soleclassics.com/wordpress/. They take phone orders.

Don't say I never gave you nothing...Werd!

Freshness takes No Days Off

So...as I sit quarter watching Scrubs, quarter listening to Wale, quarter working on the various sites for Bob's Classic Kicks that I'm in charge of revamping, quarter eating my Cereal Salad (That's the joint where you run out of one cereal so you gotta mix it with another one of equal or lesser value to make a full bowl so you don't waste any milk...don't front like you've never done it...), I run across these ill ass jump offs that I have been patiently awaiting to drop.
Yea, the Vans Skate Hi Cargo Pocket Editions. Cause I held you up on the Sharkley's I will steer you to these, but they are guaranteed to fly off of shelves however...so act swiftly...

Check out Standard to cop a pair, the tag is set at 80 All American Bill-folds.

Light Speed Warrior, 5000.

Step Lightly

Back into it.


Asics Gel III x Alife
First colorway is the Grey Jawn, fresh. The second is the curry freshness, dopetastic. What's the Tagg? 189.01 off of www.wesoldout.com. I like the tag on the Curry ones, reminds me of a Manhattan Portage Bag. But I digress.












Here comes Nike SB's August Releases

Outside of the second and third jawns, I'm not really impressed by these recycled ass colorways. But if you're into it, rush to your local skateshop that offers SB and cop a few.



















Moving on,


Here are the homies Alife again with the collab with Reebok. These are stain resistant. That doesn't mean you should go ape shit on them, but rest assured that you feet will remain fresh in tough conditions. Prices vary, they may be cheaper in stores than they are on the net.

Next, something that I count to be certified freshness....









The Air Sharkleys...Its no way you can tell me that these shits ain't on deck as FUCK. What? Them jawns go hella hard....About $85 on the tag...but first you gotta find them...and I have to secure my pair before I go tell...Sorry.

Doyouwantmore??!!?!?!??!


Some New Balance freshness for you, available via Atmos Tokyo, if you can read Japanese...if not, then the tag is about $100 for both of them.


Finally,


The Court Force High with the MILKY colorway...ouch...also on Atmos Tokyo, price tag at about $130

I think that's enough for right now...
