Ubiq eL Canvas - Striped Side Panels




We don’t see too many laceless sneakers aside from the occasional slip-on, but Ubiq wants to change that. The Ubiq eL appears above in three new colourways. The canvas upper is split into a quilted forefoot and heel that has horozontal stripes on the white panels. There’s a pair each in grey/black, white/navy blue and black/brown. The whole thing comes together with a white leather strap around th ankle, secured by a brass buckle. These have all the makings of a dope new direction in lifestyle sneakers and you can cop yours now from atmos.

This Blazer Mid will only be available in GS (grade school) sizes, making sure that the youngsters will be able to rock some exclusive flavor that we with the big feet will only be able to admire from afar. These Blazers feature a simple color scheme with a Vivid Pink upper that is covered with some subtle speckles to give them an added stylish touch.

Those with kids or small feet can pick up a pair of these hot spring kicks now at LTD.

Air Jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack


The latest Air Jordan multi-shoe pack will release late this month month under the theme of “Toro Bravo”. Featuring two versions of the Air Jordan V, the shoe is inspired by a special and heralded species of bull which is bred for the Running of the Bulls event in Pamplona, Spain. The black version is inspired by “both the Toro Bravo, known for its aggressiveness, strength, vigor and intelligence, and Michael Jordan’s basketball career, which exemplified these qualities and more.” On the other hand the red version “represents the passion, inspired by MJ’s drive for the game and taking its color from the red bandannas runners in Pamplona wear.” A special custom-box set featuring the menacing eyes of a red-eye’d pull peering through a crate keeps in line with the shoe’s concept at hand. The Toro Bravo pack is set for a May 30th release.

Nike Hyperdunk - Blue - Sport Red - Maize



With new models like the Hypermax and Hyperize getting a lot of buzz lately, we haven’t been seeing much from the shoe that started the whole “Hyper-” craze. Just when you started to forget about the Hyperdunk, it’s back again in perhaps its most outrageous colorway yet. This Hyperdunk model sports an eye-catching multi-color upper that features sections of Blue patent leather with Sport Red accents and Flywire and a speckled Maize midsole. The shoe also features additional red sections of the midsole as well as some white highlights on the Swoosh and tongue label. If you have been longing for crazy new colorways of the Hyperdunk, your wish has been granted. It is unclear if these will ever be widely available for retail, but you can pick up a pair now at MarqueeSole and we’ll keep you posted on further availability.

Nike Dunk High - Holiday ‘09


Don’t think for a second that Nike is running out of ideas for the Dunk High. These images of the upcoming holiday ‘09 Dunk releases should be solid proof that there is plenty more in store for the beloved shoe. Eight new Dunk High models will be hitting Nike retailers later this year in a variety of colors and materials. The top four Dunks pictured are men’s models and the bottom four are for women. The black/metallic silver/pink colorway and the red snakeskin with the gold Swoosh at the top are Dunk High Premiums, while the Army green Dunks and the white pair with the black speckled midsole beneath those will be ND releases. The two Dunk High’s with the metallic uppers will be for the ladies, with the gold/black pair falling into the Dunk High Skinny category. Finally for the women are the bright yellow and royal blue colorways, both featuring solid uppers with what appear to be mesh side panels. All the Dunk High styles seen here will be available this upcoming holiday season beginning in October and moving on through December. Check out some closer looks after the jump and be sure to stay tuned for more specific information as the release dates get a little closer. Thanks to R-Squared for the photos.
