Right when you thought you’ve seen all the Air Jordan 1 possibilities, Jordan Brand hits you with the Air Jordan 1 Anodized.

Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar Night Fall | Coming Soon



Earlier in the week we spotted the Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar Night Fall in a colorway from the Nike SB October 2010 sneaker collection. They took a by-month in August but returned this month in an Urban Haze setting. For October, the Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar will make an appearance again, in another new colorway which is going to be hard to pass-up. The predominance of the sneaker is constructed from Night Fall suede, with the mid-section built from ballistic mesh and flywire. In addition to appear on the flywire thread, Varsity Crimson accents appear on the inner lining and laces, while black leather shapes the Swoosh and white finishes of the midsole.

The Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar “Night Fall” is available overseas through Kasina and will be arriving soon as part of the Nike SB October 2010 Releases.The most recent Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar Night Fall echoed the start of fall with its rich pumpkin pie colorway.

Nike Air Force 1 High-3M-Medium Grey White |



I have seven pairs of the Nike Air Force 1 High series becamse I am scared to death that Nike will stop making them. Do not confuse these kicks with the Nike Air Force 1 High ‘Grey Nubuck’, which dropped last month. The shade of grey is slightly different and outsole is white while the midsole is grey though the kicks appear to be built nubuck. Also the sneakers do feature some nice 3M reflective coating. You can find the sneakers now in Leicestershire UK at Well Gosh.Nike Air Force 1 High-3M-Medium Grey White is the best, most comfortable, walking, casual running shoe you can ever imagine.



Puma Speed Cat 2.9 Mid SF-Ferrari | perfect colorways



puma speed cat 2 9 mid sf ferrari Puma Speed Cat 2.9 Mid SF Ferrari


I love Puma Speed Cat 2.9 Mid shoes. The Uptempo are one of the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn. The cushioning is amazing and you gotta love the air max bubble. Ferrari Motosports and Puma have had a long standing relationship. The sports appeal manufacture has been a sponsor of the Ferrari race team for a number of years, producing officially licensed products for the drivers, crew, fans and just your regular ol’ Ferrari enthusiasts.

Earlier this year we saw Puma team up with the Red Bull F1 Race Team on their Speed Cat 2.9 Mid SF and now it appears Ferrari has put their own spin on this new driving shoe from Puma. The shoes feature a black base in a combination of leather, patent leather and mesh, highlighted by various forms of red accents including a few red eyelets, a stripe on the mid-sole and stitching on the heel. To authenticate the Ferrari inspiration, Scuderia Ferrari Gel Badge’s are placed along the ankle. Puma Speed Cat 2.9 sneakers are very comfortable and stylish. I got the red and gray ones and I love the look.

WMNS Nike Air Max 97–White/Glass Blue | Release Reminder



WMNS Nike Air Max 97–White/Glass Blue shoes are just amazing - feels like running barefoot across a wrestling mat. The newer Air Max models like the Air Max 24-7 and the Air Max 2010 may be getting all the attention as of late but nothing can ever replace our love for the originals. Models like the Air Max 97 are timeless and releases like the one shown here remind us just how stylish they are with the simplest of colorways.

Designed exclusively for our better halves, this WMNS Air Max 97 carries a glossy pearl white upper constructed from the usual combination of leather and mesh. Glass Blue accents, a color we just saw worked into a WMNS version of an Air Max 24-7, appear on the two Nike logos and the entire sole unit. they are extremly light, at the same time WMNS Nike Air Max 97 are very responsive!!which is how i like my Runing shoes.

Jordan Winterized 6 Rings Boot Black / Rustic | Available Now

I have narrow feet and a high arch which makes ordering shoes online tricky, however Jordan Winterized 6 Rings Boot | Black / Rustic shoes are everything I needed. They're comfortable, supportive, and narrow enough for me. Last fall Jordan Brand dropped the Jordan Spizike in a heavy duty boot build. Now for this fall JB switches to another popular hybrid silhouette, the Jordan 6 Rings to give the winterized boot treatment. The kicks rest on a rugged sole with an upper molded after the 6 Rings. Look for the first edition of the sneaker to drop in black in October for a $160 price tag.Also I'm a swimmer so my legs are constantly sore and generally running is torture for me, Jordan Winterized 6 Rings Boot shoes make running as comfortable as possible.


Stussy X Applebum “Surfman” Tee | T-shirt

Stussy Japan teams up with another hip hop influenced Japanese collective, Applebum, for their latest collaborative tee. The shirt only comes in white with a young dread locked man holding one of Shawn Stussy’s legendary surf boards, wearing, interestingly, another Stussy shirt.

Adidas Honey Mid Letter Print | Delicate Design

I bought adidas Honey Mid shoes to wear while I lift, do ploymetrics, for cardio, and occassionally to shoot hoops in. These shoes can do it all and are very comfortable. Earlier this year French artist Fafi dropped the adidas Honey Mid covered in letters from her name as part of her adidas ObyO set. For the adidas Originals fall collection, the label revisits the letter design on the Honey Mid without Fafi. The fat letters are colored in orange, black, pink and teal on an upper built in a synthetic textile. Find them now at shops including SNS.












Famous French street artist Fafi steps in and lends her magical touch to this vibrant version of the legendary adidas Honey Mid. Features a burst of lush colours rendered in a mix of rubberized print and embroidery. Adidas shoes are very versatile and are much better suited for a wide range of training than a running shoe.

New Balance 574 Sonic | Holiday 2010

I Use the New Balance 574 shoes mainly for training and what a great choice. Very light weight and the comfort with the cushion is great. After releasing a three set of the New Balance 574 Sonic, the American footwear label has extended its Sonic line of the 574 for fall. The wide variety of colors is added to by the addition of the New Balance 574 Sonic x UNDFTD. The sonic welded sneaker construction is achieved through a pressure process that is environmentally sound. The New Balance 574 Sonic fall collection is now available in Seoul at Kasina with a wider release imminent.























I chose the black/pink (although I would have liked for it to be all black) and I wear a size 6 1/2 wide. The width didn't seem as wide as other NB sneakers and the 6 1/2 seems a bit smaller than other NB sneakers, but the fit is fine and doesn't hurt my feet. A 7 wide might have been too big. I wear orthodtics so I have to take out the NB insoles and put the orthodtics in...which didn't make a difference in how the sneaker fit. I find these sneakers to be very comfortable. I do not drive and I walk a lot and they sort of feel 'springy' when you walk. I'm not quite sure I feel any difference in the 'balance theory' of these sneakers, but they aren't bulky, they are light weight and a nice looking sneaker.

Mark Dean Veca Nike Zoom DK:Available Now

I have had Mark Dean Veca Nike Zoom DK for about 3 weeks and there great shoes using them mainly for just everyday use. i got the vomero4's for running. Would def buy another pair as they are really cushiony and light. would def recommend.For those who plan on picking up their snowboards this winter Nike is releasing the Zoom DK, made in conjunction with snowboard maestro Danny Kass. Nike’s Zoom DK was made by blending the Kaiju with a more basic sneaker model. The explosive kicks are getting their start with a flashy red and black colorway which features art work by Mark Dean Veca.





I bought these shoes around three months ago and they have been absolutely fantastic thus far, the heels have brilliant cushioning and provide fantastic comfort.

Jordan Hallowed Ground – Six Perfect Colorways



Ok first of all, I love the Jordan Hallowed Ground shoe, it fits great, unlike some other people that said it was too small and to order a size up, I stuck with the size I've always bought and they fit great.The Jordan Hallowed Ground is described as a next level hoop shoe that can take you to the ultimate place. The shoe features a full-grain leather and synthetic base, lockdown lacing system and protective contoured heel. A phylon midsole provides support, and houses dual Zoom Air for cushioning. The outsole is borrowed from the Jordan Olympia, and makes use of anatomically tuned traction. Six colorways will release between the beginning of October and December.I fell in love with the look of this Jordan Hallowed Ground shoe on the website but was dissapointed when they arrived looking nothing like this shoe.









Jordan Alpha Trunner – Two Perfect Colorways



A great outdoor Jordan Alpha Trunner shoe for off road. I took them out for one jog and they fit great. This year has marked the return of the Jordan Trunner line, with two new colorways of the Alpha Trunner due out in the coming months. First up is an all black synthetic and mesh pair, that makes use of minimal white accents. Royal blue and white dominate the look of the second pair, while black makes subtle appearances at accent points throughout. Look for the black-based pair to turn up at retailers on October 1st, and the other pair to drop a month later in November.This Jordan shoe is snug around the heel but has a lot of toe box room which is just what I need when wearing a pair of cushioned socks.
