In Reebok's attempt to bring awareness to what is increasingly becoming their lifestyle flagship line, the Reebok Pump features in a 4th generation Bring Back collection. Featuring the mid cuts of the Omni Lite and Court Victory Pump, the upper with its shades of elephant-esque later are quite clean with breathable mesh finding its way onto the toebox. Much of the spice for this pack is derived from the use of fluorescent pink and green highlights. Available now at Mita.
Expect lots of fusion of past and present for upcoming Nike releases such as the previous Air Force 1 releases in Safari, Mowabb and Talaria. Here comes the 2nd installment of collection featuring Air Max 1 x Air Safari and Air Max 90 x Air Mowabb. These models not only have taken the colourway but also adopting the materials as well. They are expected to be release end of June at selected Nike Quickstrike stores in the region.
Stay tune for their actual release dates from Genesis (Bangkok), Limited Edt. (Singapore) and Sole What (Kuala Lumpur)

Last month we told you about the upcoming Japan exclusive pack from Nike, which features a variety of interesting new designs and styles. Each of the shoes represents traits from particular Japanese cities. One of these sneakers is the Nogoya Dunk High, which is also being dubbed the Golden Dolphin Dunk Hi.
This gold shoe features lots of interesting details, including a fish scale pattern on the strap and around the back heel. Another standout on these shoes is mint green lining.
These shoes are available right now at Stussy Japan stores and at their online shop. The rest of the shoes in this pack should be released soon. Via Sneaker Files
Tomorrow, May 31st 2008, the Air Jordan XX3 (23) White / Varsity Red Silver will release, and this pair is dubbed “Old Love”. Yet another solid, and traditional Air Jordan XX3 model made especially for the die-hard Jordan fans. If your up late, and do not want to wait in lines, the Nike Store and other retailers will have them early for $185.00. Good Luck!
A friendly reminder, if you have been waiting to purchase the Air Jordan Force Fusion 5 Low “Is it the Shoes?” they are releasing tomorrow, May 31st 2008, but you can purchase tonight at a few locations. Most retailers have already dropped both pairs of the Air Jordan Force Fusion 5 Lows, and slowly they have sold out.
I don’t think I’ve ever written about a Russian t-shirt site before, so I guess this is another country that we can cross off the map (if I had a map like that, which I don’t).I’d actually found out about Blokk a few months ago, bookmarked them, and then promptly forgot to write an article. Luckily I was reminded by the company themselves of their existence, and I decided it was about time that I did my bit to try and thaw Anglo-Russian diplomatic relations. If anything can fix things after we might have spied on them, and a Russian got radiation poisoning in Britain under dubious circumstances, I’m sure writing about an awesome t-shirt company will do the trick. 
They’ve got 4 designs up for sale at the moment, and I’d describe each and every one of them as pure, unadulterated torso-candy. Three of them were done by an in-house artist (Klokki), and oneby a Ukrainian artist called Irena Zablotska (also known as Joulu) as their first collaboration ina . There’s no real unifying theme to the designs, both in terms of style and subject, which is surprising considering Klokki accounts for 75% of what’s available. That isn’t an issue though, since, as was previously mentioned, all the tees are chocked full of awesome.There isn’t a whole load of English on their site, but you should be able to work things out just by clicking around, and you can make an order by e-mailing them if you aren’t in Russia (and judging by my traffic logs, you probably aren’t).
Even in this weak state of economy, it seems that the power of streetwear cannot be stopped. HUF, the famed San Francisco streetwear/skate retailer started by Keith Hufnagel, is expanding its empire and will be opening their 5th location in Los Angeles this Saturday, May 31st. Among the special grand opening items are a series of t-shirts created with none other then Stussy and the special Satin SK8-HIs seen recently. Check out the new store if you're around the area.

In my mind, no way anybody can hate on these upcoming Nike Air Maxs, featuring colorways referencing some of Nike's all-time favorites in the Air Safari and Air Mowabb. For those who have never had the chance to grab a pair of Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 B, the Safari's are a more then suitable substitute. Allegedly within this pack is also the Air Stab Runnin' Gunnin'. According to Wellgosh, a release date is set for June 27th.
Nike's well respected MMA fighter Caol Uno will release another series of footwear with Nike. His brand 10AC has become grounds for a series of high powered collabos with Nike on both footwear and apparel. This upcoming collection of footwear features the similar themes as previous releases, keeping things utterly simple with a pure white colorway and with the use of woven materials. This theme can be seen over the Trainer Dunk Low SP, Air Max 1 Premium and Air Zoom Talache Low. Available soon at select Nike dealers.
The New Balance 320, One of the leading running shoes of the 70s, returns to the limelight once again with a collection of fruity colourways inspired by vintage video games. Less bulky looking than its more popular stablemates, the 320 silhouette has received little love over the years despite some solid releases; this pack is the first in a series of slim profile sneakers that New Balance will be pushing this year.
The New Balance CM320Ms will be available at selected stockists around South East Asia around August 2008.
