Nike Dunk High - The Simpsons



The Simpsons is the only show on before 11:30pm that’s been around for more than 20 years. Their 22nd season starts in mid-fall and Nike has used Matt Groening’s distinctive style as a jump-off for another design. The Nike Dunk High pictured above throws a dark navy blue overlay atop a yellow leather upper, the rear of which features hexagonally-patterned perforations. Orange laces finish the theme quite nicely, and you can cop these in Springfield or any other city by heading to LTD Online or eBay.

Nike Court Force High - White - Grey - Red




Once second only to the Dunk, the Nike Court Force is having a relatively slow year in 2009. While the Blazer is offering crazier designs by the minute, this latest Court Force High goes back to basics. With a clean mix of grey and white leathers on the upper accented by bright red, these have potential for a wide variety of outfits. This is pretty much the opposite colourway as a pair from late last year, but it uses the earlier edition’s perforations below the side panel Swooshes for a nice bonus. These are available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Size?

Jeremy Scott x adidas - JS Sequin Superstar - Available




we gave you a look at two new colorways of the JS 3 Tongue Attitude High designed for adidas by Jeremy Scott, and if those weren’t too much for you, take a gander at these stunners. Jeremy has whipped up two new versions of the adidas Superstar High, both with some dazzling sequin uppers. One pair sports a metallic silver sequin upper that looks something like a disco ball as the light reflects off of it. The other pair flaunts an even bolder look with a purple sequin upper that features hints of just about every color of the rainbow blended into the design. As with many of the Jeremy Scott concoctions, these are both love ‘em or hate ‘em type styles, so if you fall into the love ‘em category, you can turn some heads by picking up a pair at PackerShoes now.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium Tier Zero - Holiday 2009




It looks like Nike will collaborate with Patta, a premium sneaker boutique out of Amsterdam, on another Nike Air Max 1. The sneaker features a classic color blocking scheme that is reminiscent of the first Air Max 1’s that were released back in the late 80’s. The upper uses a mixture of mesh, canvas, and possibly denim. The colorway is nice and clean as well using only White and Black on the upper with the outsole coming in Gum and Patta’s logo on the heel in Lucky Green. The insole of the shoe features Patta’s “P” logo as well. Look for these shoes to be a Tier Zero release this Holiday 2009 Season. This pair here is a look see sample.

Nike SB Blazer Premium - Swoosh Life - July Quickstrike



For Nike-heads, this shoe says it all. For many, “Swoosh Life” is the only life, and Nike has chosen to recognize that dedication with this fresh pair of Blazer Premium SB’s. We gave you a peek at these kicks last month, and now they are beginning to hit Nike SB retailers as a July Quickstrike. The shoe sports an off-white upper with a gum midsole and a Hot Red Swoosh. These come with both Black and Hot Red laces for the look of your choice, and of course the main focal point is the “Swoosh Life” embroidery that graces the upper heel panel of both shoes, as well as on the insoles. If you’ve been waiting for these to drop, keep your eyes peeled at your local SB shop or pick up a pair now from Premier.

Nike Dunk High - Black - Monster Red


Despite being available next month, these are some of the ’scariest’ Dunks we’ve seen in a while. Actually, we’ll concede that the Nike Dunk High pictured above isn’t all that frightening. The truth is, the black leather upper looks fantastic atop a Monster Red sole. Monster Red is just a shade darker than Nike’s legendary Infrared shade, so we’re excited to see more of this new hue. Take a look at more photos after the jump and get ready for these to drop later in July or early in August.
