Nike Air Max 90 - White - Grey - Black




Fans of the Nike Air Max 90 will be happy to see that the legendary running shoe is back in one of its simplest colorways in a while. This new version keeps it pretty clean, using a basic white/black/grey color scheme to bring the attention back to the beautiful form of the shoe. These kicks feature a mostly white upper with a mesh material used on the toebox and around the ankle. The white is contrasted by some black and grey accents, creating a tasteful look that will be a nice addition to any sneakerhead’s spring/summer rotation. If you need a break from all those wild color combos, take it back to basics by picking up a pair of these now at Caliroots.

Vans Chalk Line Pack


New from the Vans Spring 2009 Collection comes the Chalk Line Pack. The pack consists of a Sk8 Hi and a Slip-On, both featuring the chalk dead line on a black canvas upper. The pack is now available at ABC-Mart.

Nike Sportswear Blazer Hi Lite Collection


Nike Sportswear continues to showcase upcoming styles from Spring/Summer 2009. Focusing on a light weight silhouette, this latest preview should bode well for the upcoming shorts & tees-type weather especially with uppers comprised of a nylon grid textile offering an uber light weight silhouette.

Nike Dunk Low - White - Green Woven




We’ve seen Jordan Brand take the Air Jordan 1 in a similar direction that Nike went with the Dunk: a ton of new colours and materials are being applied to the familiar silhouette. Turnabout is fair play, so now we see a new pair of Nike Dunk Lows that take a design cue from a recent pair of AJ1s. These Dunk Lows are constructed of a simple mix of white and green featuring woven side panels. The panels are made from the same colour as the rest of the shoe, but the reversal of the threads makes for a tonal contrast effect. If you’re feelin’ this optical illusion, there’s no doubting they’re available now at Size?

Nike Blazer Mid Premium WMNS - Soft Pearl Woven



If nylon was the trend du jour during the early part of 2009, it seems that woven uppers are the hottest design element for this quarter’s sneakers. Here’s another woven wonder from Nike, this time it’s a Blazer Mid Premium WMNS. With a mostly white design, these Blazers avoid dullness with the perforated toe, woven upper and gold Swoosh. A perfect look for Easter and beyond, these joints are available now at RMKstore.

Nike Twilight - Black - Grey - Blue - Purple




The excellent retro mashup that is the Nike Twilight has donned some of the dopest colourways of any Nike runners this year. Back in January, we saw two especially delicious versions, and this new model is something of a balance between the two. The pair pictured above features a mix of black, tonal greys and white, on top of which touches of bright blue and purple are laid. One of the most well-balanced and versatile palettes we’ve seen in a while, these joints can be yours now at Size?

Nike Dunk High Premium - Purple - Yellow - White





We saw a similar pair of lowtops earlier this morning, and now the hightop version gets a chance to shine. This pair of Nike Dunk High Premium eschews the reflective 3M material found on its cousin but use a similar take on the tonal mix of leather and woven textile. Rather than reflection, these get a pop from the yellow laces and tongue tag. Add white tongue piping, sockliner and midsole along with the icey outsole and these are a great fit for Lakers fans. We suspect they’re dope enough for a few Bostonians to grab a pair as well, but no matter where you are, you can get yours now at Caliroots.
