The Holiday 2010 season will bring an Iron Man inspired Dunk High. It features a wine-red suede upper with black and gold accents. Nice colorway that should be a hit with those loyal Nike SB Dunk fans. More information as it comes.

Nike Terminator High Basic

I don’t why there are titled as Terminator, however, we are seeing here Nike Terminator High Basic summer 2010 in two different colorways. Pretty look with smoking fresh colorways. About the design of them, not so stylist but highly comfortable. I am about certain that while developing them, Nike gives the comfort most priority.




One of them comes with white upper with blue and green accents, and the other one has white upper with yellow and blue accents. Very smart color combination in my thought. These sneakers are just just released in Japan and being sold like hot cake. The will be released worldwide very soon.



Stay in touched with your local shoe stores or available Nike retailers soon to have a pair of them as they may come to your city in any minute.



All the best.

Top 30 Sneakers of 2009

‘Best of” lists are usually a source of much controversy, as opinions will always differ on any debatable topic. So, when we started to put together our Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list, we got as many opinions as possible, asking our entire staff and some friends in the industry to rank their favorites from the year. Each individual list was then indexed and used to create composite rankings, ensuring that a variety of opinions would be factored into the final Top 30. The result is a comprehensive list of all the kicks that made our cut this year, along with some crisp photos and background info on each.




2009 was a big year for sneakers, no matter what your areas of interest may be. Jordan lovers were treated to quite a nice year thanks to the return of some beloved classics like the True Blue Air Jordan III, and of course, the almighty Space Jams, with new looks like the Toro Bravo pack and the Sixty Plus proving to be solid additions. Staying inside the basketball realm, Nike b-ball had a huge 2009 thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the Zoom Kobe IV and then, the Air Max LeBron VII. Both lines already had a nice following, but the latest signature models for Nike’s two biggest names were met with glowing receptions and strong sales to match.



Nike Sportswear also kicked things into high gear with a nice variety of both new and retro releases. A ton of people were excited to see the return of the Air Griffey Max 1 and the Foamposite, as well as new hybrid models like the Air 1/2 Cent and the Air Maxim 1 Trainer. The LIVESTRONG Greatest Hits pack, on the other hand, provided a  nice blend of old and new thanks to the Black/Varsity Maize color scheme being applied to several of Nike’s most coveted “grails.”



While many sneakerheads were beginning to lose faith in Nike SB, the line came back strong enough to keep many collectors around. The release of the elusive Gucci Dunk Highs and Blue Lobster Dunks created a nice buzz for SB, and the introduction of the Stefan Janoski pro model proved that there were still plenty of new places to take their skate designs. Also helping out the Nike SB cause was the release of the Supreme x Nike SB Bruin, always a welcome combination for collaborations, not to mention the start of a new age for the classic Bruin.



Of course, that wasn’t the only hot collaboration of the year. The biggest team-ups of 2009 both involved Kanye West, who put his stylish touches on successful footwear projects with Nike and Louis Vuitton. Other big collaborations of note included UNDFTD’s partnerships with both Converse and Puma and Reebok’s ambitious Pump20 retailer collaboration collection. Last but not least, CLOT’s Air Force 1 and the DQM Air Max 90 Current Huarache also turned plenty of heads with their respective collabos.



Aside from the aforementioned 2009 kicks, there was plenty more heat floating around, so take your time going through our list of the Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 for a recap of the hottest styles from the past year. Feel free to share your opinions on the best kicks of 2009, and let us know if there was anything else that you think should have made the cut. Special thanks to Osneaker, Flight Club NY and Premium Laces.

Nike Auto Flight – Summer 2010 Collection

Jordan CP3.III Wake Forest PEs

Jordan Brand PE’s are tricky. While some make it to retail stores others are actually player exclusives that are only available to the athletes that play for the teams. These Wake Forest Jordan CP3.III’s are such the case




Here you can see the home and away color ways. The Away is done in black nubuck with white accents while the Home shoe is done in white pebbled leather with nubuck accents. The Wake Forest logo is embroidered on the tongue and unfortunately the only place you can find these will be at a basketball game that the team plays in.

Adidas Artillery Mid

One of the first color ways to be scene is this black/white/aluminum model. Yellow is also a great accent on this shoe and oddly enough it doesn’t bring LIVESTRONG to mind, maybe its because its a different shade of yellow. The shoes also pack a TORSION SYSTEM punch. These look great and if memory serves us correct they are very comfortable.
