If you want a unique pair of shoes, check out these Adidas ZX800 Flavor of the World kicks. You can’t find much more unique shoes than the ones shown here. As you probably have noticed, the two shoes are different from one another.
The left shoe uses a white and blue color scheme, while the right shoe uses a white and red color scheme. The story behind these shoes is based on the Festival of Folclorico de Parintins, a popular annual celebration held in Brazil, which concerns the legends of two feuding families.
While these shoes are obviously not from everyone, if you want to make a splash, you can’t go wrong with these kicks. You can get these right now at the Overkill Shop for $185.

The Nike Air Structure Triax has been one of Nike's greatest performers in recent memory. Although many perhaps weren't down with its original inception, the Triax still remains relevant almost 20 years later. Aside from the use of suede and leather, the toebox among other areas seem to feature ripstop nylon. No word yet on a release date except for the Holiday season, however other reports are saying this might be a Euro exclusive.

Jordan Brand is releasing a new skater shoe with their Jordan Brand Flipsyde model. The Flipsydes are slick looking and can be worn for almost all occasions, even though they are built for skateboarding.
Black and grey are the two colors that dominate these sneakers. A cracked leather look is used using both black and grey aspects. There are plenty of Jordan logos on these shoes so even though they are obviously skater shoes, they don’t lose the Jordan Brand appeal.
If you want to add more spice to these kicks, you could take off the standard black shoelaces and replace them with white shoelaces. These will be releasing on July 1st. Via Hypebeast.
