Kanye West Nike Sneakers - worn by Kanye himself

The sneaker has a toe box with perforated leather. The color is hard to define as it looks like dark blue or deep purple. As a matter of fact, the region of the toe box merges into the midsection of the shoe as the areas are not marked by boundaries. The toe of the shoe has a border in grey suede.
Below the toe cap is a white layer of toe cap protector. It forms the midsole of the toe box.
The shoe lace is a lighter shade of the colorway. The shoe lace region is strengthened by a thick white border. The shoe does not have a separate tongue but is continued from the shoe’s upper body.
On the midsole, there is a customized, thick strap of shiny dark blue leather. Right below this is the orange layer of midsole. This is the brightest accent of the sneaker.
The upper heel of the shoe is a rather large section as it is a curved and rounded part of the ankle. It is a Hi cut shoe. The white Nike swoosh is near the ankle. Again, the white color complements wth the white border for the shoe lace. I like the overall design of the shoe.
Presently, we have to wait for more news to discover when this Nike sneaker would be released for sale to the public.

Nike “Grammy” Dunk Hi

This Nike Dunk Hi was designed to commemorate the Grammy Awards. Many pairs were given to the Grammy winners. After which, the sneakers were made available for sale in the store. This edition will be on sale only at Fred Segal, on Melrose, in Los Angeles. The store will get the exclusive privilege of selling them. The date of sales has not been released yet.
The Nike swoosh is in metallic gold and cracked leather. The white panel is ostrich leather. I think this shoe looks sober and formal. The only attribute to glamour is in the gold swoosh. I guess it represents the weight of the seriousness of the Grammy Awards. The function is a suit and gown formal affair so this shoe is in the same vein. I like the use of purple laces. They provide a touch of color.
This year’s Grammy Awards will take place on Feb. 10, at the Staples Center. This is the Award with the highest place of honor for people working in the recording industry. Amy Winehouse was nominated for 6 awards on Dec. 6, 2007. Her application for a US visa has been refused. If she wins any award, her representative will receive it. I’ll wish good luck to all the nominees.

Vans & Johnny Ramones collection.

This collection is available at DigBMX and Vans. It consists of 2 T-shirts, a pair of jeans and 1 pair of Classic Slip-On shoes. One T-shirt has a photo print of Johnny at a concert. The other T-shirt has The Ramone presidential seal.
Johnny Ramone was actually John William Cummings. He lived from Oct. 8, 1948 – Sept. 15, 2004. He was a great guitarist and played mainly rhythm. In 2003, he was named as the 16th greatest guitarist in history, by the Rolling Stone magazine. On Sept. 15, 2004, he passed away after a 5 year fight with prostate cancer.
The Slip-On sneaker looks good. It has his photo scanned and printed on the shoe’s toe box. His pose showed his dedication to his music as he put his concentrated efforts into his guitar playing. Johnny’s signature does personalize this shoe to some extent. The right shoe’s inner sole has Johnny’s presidential seal while the left shoe ha Van’s logo. This is meant to show the historical collaboration between Vans and Johnny Ramone. Along the mid-sole, Johnny Ramone’s name is printed along the side.
I like this casual sneaker. It is so relaxed and provides the right mood for the casual footwear.
There is a photo of Johnny Ramone after the line breaker.

Nike Court Force Pack.

Nike has released a new set of 3 Court Force in this pack. Two of these are Court Force Hi and the remainder is a Court Force Lo. One Court Force Hi is a multi-color while the other Court Force Hi looks like a complementary version of its corresponding Court Force Lo. These shoes are sold at Atmos.
The one and only Court Force Lo in this pack comes in the colors of white, purple, black and silver. I like the simple, yet classic design of this sneaker. The design has a no fuss look about it and is able to retain elegance and dignity. The sliver accents are a nice finishing touch.
The corresponding pair of sneaker in the Court Force Hi looks similar to the Court Force Lo but has different colors. The Hi panel of the shoe is in purple while the accents are in black color. The traditional design looks good.
The third shoe in this pack is a real difference. It has a spectrum of colors, gradually merging from one to another. The shoe front and toe box are in white. White is the best color to contrast against the techni-color. This is the best pair in this pack of 3 new shoes.

Nike Air Force 1 x Air Jordan 12 Fusion Black Green Bean

This brand new shoe will be released in Jan. 2008. It is likely to be available at kix-files because the photos were obtained from there.
This sneaker has an all black colorway. The accents are in green. The green lines resemble the outlines of the sides of the green beans. As the lines are repeated, they give the illusion of many green beans being lined up next to one another. The other obvious reason for naming the Green Bean in the model is because the green color that is used resembles the green shade found in green beans.
The side panel has vertically placed green lines. These appear to radiate from the lower sole. It is an interesting design.
The shoe strap with a green buckle is a fashionable statement. It is a simple design but it looks good. The tongue, inner lining and bottom sole contain the red color. This color is a wise choice since the black and green are subtle colors. The red contrast makes the shoe look better. The Air Jordan logo is embroidered in green on the tongue.
The best thing I enjoy about this shoe is the quiet but striking design made entirely by using green lines. It is a talented piece of work.

Ato Matsumoto Cow Hide Boots.

These boots were made famous when rapper Kanye West wore them in his music videos. They have front openings which are fastened by velcro. This facilitates wearing of the boots. The velcro allows the adjustment for a tight or loose fitting. These boots come in only two exclusive colors of black and white. The shiny finish accentuates their impact as classic boots.
I think this collection of boots will win more fans for boots. Due to its design of the front openings, it appears to be like a pair of sneakers. The high cutting at the ankles is the trademark of boots. The boots protect the heels and ankles while maintaining flexibility. The front openings allow some scope in the capacity of the boots to bend at the front.
The leather boots comprise of patent leather and regular premium leather. These boots are slated to be released for sale in the U.S. and Europe in Jan. 2008. However, Oki-Ni will accept pre-orders.
The boots look dandy for dancing. They would look great with black and white color co-ordinates. I would suggest black boots for white bottoms and vice versa. The shiny texture delivers impact and the wearer has to be careful that the boots don’t steal the show entirely.
