Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk-Hi Pack - June 2009

It’s about time. After a short burst of hype, the Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk-Hi Pack disappeared. We saw several other nylon Dunks, but none affiliated with the publication. Now we finally know exactly what to expect and when. The pack includes five neon pairs: pink, orange, yellow, green and blue. Each features the ‘NYLON’ logo in two places: on the side panels it’s a tonal afterthought while the tongue tag features a multicoloured logo evoking each pair in the pack. These joints are set to drop Monday, June 1 at Urban Outfitters and other select Nike retailers. Via High Snobiety

Asics Gel Lyte Speed - Electric Blue - Hot Pink

From the David Z-exclusive ’super blue’ joints to a pair commemorating the Chinese brand’s Guinness World Record, the Asics Gel Lyte III has enjoyed a variety of new colours. Not to be outdone by its older brother, the Gel Lyte Speed appears here in the first of two pairs we’ll show you today to complete a closer look at the trio we first saw a little over a month ago. The pair pictured above comes in a combination of electric blue and hot pink that screams ‘early nineties!’ The ATC-like speckled gradients on the Asics logo add to this theme, while a white, grey and black base provide balance. As with the first pair we saw earlier this week, these are expected sometime next week in extremely limited quantities, so check with your local Asics retailer for more details. via Endorsed

3 Inches of Blood x Nike 6.0 Zoom Oncore High

In what may seem like an unlikely pairing, Nike 6.0 has teamed up with Canadian heavy metal band, 3 Inches of Blood, for an intriguing new collaboration sneaker. After learning that many of their athletes were die-hard metalheads and fans of the band, Nike decided that a collaboration made sense and the result is the Blood Oncore High. The shoe was co-designed by the band themselves, choosing an interesting selection of colors and materials to represent their aggressive sound in sneaker form. Known for their wizards and warriors fantasy battle themes, the Zoom Oncore High has been built for war. The shoe features different muted shades of brown and green distressed leather for the upper with metallic silver side panels to symbolize the menacing blades of war. As a nod the band’s colorful name, various red hues provide additional accents on the tongue, midsole and laces and the 3 Inches of Blood logo is stitched into the heel. Whether you are a fan of the band or just think these kicks are fresh, you can pick up a pair at select Nike 6.o retailers beginning on May 1st. Via 5ones.
