Early in the year we reported Nike’s Back to School Pack that featured the Dunk Low, Air Max 90 and Vandal High using the composition book design that was applied in the original back to school. This composition book pack is specifically designed for grade school sizes.
Unfortunately, only the Dunk Low and Air Max 90 are pictured. Both feature the original composition book design on the panels along with lined paper. Release is slated for early August. Via Sole Fresh.
Here’s one for the ladies. This is the latest Nike women’s Air Stab to surface the internet in a subtle white, beige and red color combination. A simple combination is paired with an all white mid-sole and sole. The sneaker is for the most part very clean and a little reminscent what the older color-ways use to look like.

Alife and Reebok collaborations previously yielded successful releases which translated in to high priced sneakers being sold by re-sellers. Here’s a look at their recent collection of sneakers that are made up of different styles and designs.

Several well-informed members of NikeTalk have confirmed that Nike is planning on re-releasing Player Edition colorways of the Zoom Lebron II. Lebron fans will surely be ecstatic about the retro since this is one of the best shoes among the Lebron line. The colorways scheduled to drop are the Saint Vincent-Saint Mary Away, Saint Vincent-Saint Mary Home, Dunkman and the Hardwood Classic.
These exclusive player editions will release in extremely limited quantities (36 pairs per colorway) in the House of Hoops. A Cleveland release is also not of the question.
However, Nike is known to rescind releases of exclusive Lebron shoes without prior notice. Let’s just pray that we get a chance, albeit a small one, to cop these.
The Nike Air Max 95 has long been a favorite for those who sport running shoes. It’s one of the most well made running shoes on the planet and it single-handedly revolutionized the industry when it was first released. Now check out these new Nike Air Max 95s with a New York City theme.
The main colors on this shoe are black and yellow. Various textures are used – thus creating a number of different shades and appearances of black. The yellow is mostly used in the skyline image on the side of the shoe that is depicting NYC during the massive power outage (blackout) back in the summer of 2003. Yellow also appears around the Nike swoosh and by the shoelaces. Via Sneakernews.
It might be hard to think, but Nike SB which is known for their Skateboarding sneakers will release a BMX pack. One of the Nike Dunk SB Low to release apart of the BMX Pack represents the Kuwahara bike which is seen in the movie “E.T”.
Just like the Kuwahara BMX Bike, the Nike Dunk SB Low contains Red to White gradient, and a patent leather toe box. It has been said they will release in Mexico due to the “UFO” sightings. All pictures taken at FTC Sacramento.

When news of the Reebok Reverse Jam Monopoly pack first surfaced on the net, the response was not very favourable. Coming right after the Kool Aid pack, it sort of left a sour aftertaste in what many were saying would be the company’s comeback year. Very unfortunate indeed, as Reebok has a very strong line-up of non-gimmick based kicks this year that definately deserve more attention.
So when we were sent a couple of boxes of boks to shoot, we immediately rolled our eyes at some of the disasters of the Monopoly pack. Upon closer inspection, some of the kicks from the pack don’t look too bad at all. Unlike the kicks based on Monopoly money, the trio pictured below do not come off looking like cheap bootlegs.
Available soon at selected Reebok stockists across South East Asia.

To commemorate the Olympic games one again, Nike has made the Octagon Collection Dunk. The octagons show respect to the Chinese lucky number 8. The shoe contains leather throughout, highlighted by octagon patterns on the side panels and toe box. Also flowing real nice with the Grey color-way are the blue laces. Via hb.
