Nike Air Max 90 Current Flywire - Black - Varsity Red





Like the Black/Varsity Royal pair that we showed you earlier, this Black/Varsity Red colorway was one of the styles given to select Olympic athletes last summer and was also part of a very limited release that helped to kick off the opening of the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store last August. We showed you a preview of this Air Max 90 Current Flywire back in February and now we have some new images for you to check out. These lightweight performance kicks sport a solid black mesh upper with Varsity Red Flywire adding some color to the palette. Like the Black/Varsity Royal pair, the shoe features a white Swoosh and lining, as well as a white Nike Free midsole for maximum maneuverability. The Air Max 90 Current Flywire also comes with both red and white laces, and although they are expected to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers this summer, you can cop a pair right now on eBay.

Puma Women’s First Round - Flip Metal Gold + White - Lilac




The Puma First Round is back in two nice new colorways for the ladies. The classic high-top sneaker has been remixed once again in two very different new styles. The first version is a model from Puma’s Flip Metal Pack. It features a metallic gold upper with white patent leather accents and gold speckled white laces. The shoe also uses a solid white midsole to balance the boldness of the shiny gold material. The other new women’s First Round is a little more understated, but still packs a style punch of its own. It sports a solid white leather base with purple patent accents and silver logo prints on the tongue and the side of the upper. Both the Flip Metal Gold and White/Lilac Puma First Round are available now at Overkill.

Vael Project Borg Mid Sneakers



At least once in a while we have to give you some alternatives from the standard brands that we report about daily. Vael Project has in the short time that it has been around already presented a multitude of interesting product. Most notably boots and a beautiful luggage line.

Here we take a look at their Borg Mid Sneaker. The colors work well together, the upper features a leather/suede combination and details such as the Vibram sole and hiking inspired lacing system make this sneaker a winner.

The Vael Project Borg Mid Sneaker is now available at tobi.

Undefeated x Converse Poorman’s Weapon - Olive Green




Undefeated and Converse are at it again with another edition of the Poorman’s Weapon. These feature all the same standout customizations present on the first release back in January: the ‘All Star’ tongue tag and Converse star/chevron logo on the side panels are attached with velcro and removable, and the upper is constructed of a durable ballistic nylon. They even kept the same orange lining for these new joints, with the main difference being that these are in olive green instead of black. They’re set to drop on Armed Forces Day, May 16 at all UNDFTD stores. via HB

Nike Fall 2009 Terminator Hi Premium Pack




Today we can give you an early look at some of the more interesting Terminator Hi Premiums from the Nike Sportswear Fall 2009 footwear collection.

They present an all denim Terminator, featuring a denim upper, heavy leather logo tags, two tone stitching and gold rivets setting the accents. The second Terminator Hi comes in a light beige tone and has a lot of the attributes of a classic dress shoe, playing with embossed patterns. Unfortunately the denim Terminator will not see the light of the day, at least not any time soon.

Puma First Round L WMNS - Tonal Red - Gold





If you’re feelin’ the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Collection but can’t afford to drop almost a grand on a single pair of kicks, these might be the next best thing. The Puma First Round L WMNS pictured above rocks a tonal red do-up similar to one pair of LV Dons, but at a fraction of the price. Everything on these is red, save the gold accents on the tongue and side panels. Any ladies and dudes with smallish feet are golden if you wanna cop these now from Sneakers n Stuff.
