Aston Martin x Kobe Bryant x Nike – ‘I Got This’ Sweepstakes

After making a huge initial splash, news on the Aston Martin x Kobe x Nike 2-pack front has been pretty quiet lately.

The luxurious Aston Martin Zoom Kobe V/Hyperdunk combo set will be up for grabs to 200 lucky winners of the just-announced ‘I Got This’ sweepstakes. In addition to receiving the Aston Martin set, winners will also travel to L.A. to enjoy being VIP guests of Nike Basketball’s takeover of Staples Center on Thursday, May 13. There will also be a special Aston Martin Kobe Bryant BB10 jacket available for purchase with all proceeds going to LAUSD Basketball programs.

Vans Bedford – OTW Collection – June 2010

Vans began its skate-shoe empire based on a simple, low-profile, vulc-soled skater and has evolved into the Vans OTW Collection, which features a modernized take on the skater shoe. The Bedford is a mid-top featuring premium leather and suede above a base featuring a variety of details like perforated leather and mesh that also sports a slimmer fit compared to the conventional skater – very much like the Vans OTW Alomar Collection we previewed on Thursday. Arriving in four colorways – black, grey, burgundy, and forest green – the Vans OTW Bedford will hit select Vans retailers in June 2010.
