Here are a couple of samples from Nike of the Free Trail 5.0. The Nike Free first came out in 2004. They were inspired by the runners in Kenya who, when training, do not wear any shoes at all. The Nike Free is trying to capture that feeling of running with no shoes on. The sole of the shoe is very flexible in imitation of the human foot. These Free Trails have no release date as of yet. (more…)
This is part of the exclusive series ‘3 Bears’ from Nike. The series inclueds three pairs of dunks: low, mid, and high. The Nike Dunk SB low of the series is the one posted. The colorway is not at all bad with the green and blue. But to top off the whole shoe is the brown fur on the side panels and toe box. We will be sure to bring you any new pictures of the other pairs of this Nike series.

Kanye West had a pair of Nike Air Max 180s made for him some time ago. The shoes were never released to the public but a pair is now available on ebay. The price is now at $1,925 for the pair in a size 12. These Nike Air Max 180’s have leopard animal print skin on the back of the shoe that comes into the side. Kanye’s bear logo is on the tongue of the shoe as well as the inner sole. It has quite a few colors on the shoe that make it bold. This is one of the ugliest pairs of shoes that I have ever seen.
 This Converse All Star has been worked on for quite awhile to make it just right. Gentaro Noda is a Japanese fashion designer who graduated from Central St. Martin’s school in 2004. He has launced his own label called ‘Iliad’ and worked on customizing the Converse All Star to create the one seen here. The low-top design is classic but Noda has added buckles and even some eyelets on the side. Not a bad design to wear for the summer.

Check out these Nike Air Force Ones-Inside Out Tattoo. These are made up of some good materials. They have the burgundy nylon mesh, brown suede on the upper, leather sunblush Nike swoosh, and a burgandy leather inner-lining and insole to match the outer sole. The material combination and colorway is not bad. I would change the white laces though. They mess up the flow of the shoe.

 Women can now go grab them a pair of these Nike Zoom Air Lebrons. They are available in all Nike retail stores. The shoe has the two different black materials with Metallic Gold colorway. This Lebron Low is only in women sizes, not men. Post what you think about this shoe.

Adidas is reissuing the classic Americana. The Adidas Americana Snakeskin will release sometime this year. The shoe has premium materials and comes in two colorways. The slime green snakeskin with black is cool as well as the ‘Captain Americana’ blue snakeskin with red/white. The logo on the tongue reads ‘Put Him In a Body Bag’. Both shoes will also come in low-tops. ÂÂ

Peter Schmid is a German designer who came up with the shoe label ‘Schmid’. His shoes, the Schmid Sem, were just featured in Japan. You can purchas these sneakers at Fight Club Footwear. The Sem has a classic High look in green, black, and cream. It is the only shoe I have seen with the very unique eyelet arrangement. I really like the idea that the laces are through the side of the shoe. If you look close you can see extra eyelet holes to put the laces in different patterns. That is a pretty hot idea if you rock some nice laces.
