Star Trek x Staple x Airwalk Terrain Sneakers





It looks like the Jeff Staple x Airwalk collaboration has boldy gone into a pricerange Payless has never seen before. And since these new kicks take the design up a notch, it’s fitting that all 130 pairs will only be available at Reed Space. In commemoration of the new Star Trek prequel that premieres today in theatres around the country, Staple designed these to evoke his idea of “a battle-torn version of The Enterprise.”

They feature a metallic upper in a blackish-grey gunmetal hue upper with black soles. Gone is the classic ‘Airwalker’ insignia, replaced by the more familiar ‘A’, which matches the Star Trek ‘Shield’ logo appearing as a lacelock. More Trekkie-oriented details appear on the tongue, heel, rear quarter and insole. If you’re near Orchard Street today, be sure to drop in and cop a pair that you’ll be sure to find interest for these at a different kind of convention.

Air Jordan 60+ - Laney High School Edition




Although the Air Jordan 60+ also blends elements of the Air Jordan II and VII, the Air Jordan V seems to be, not only the biggest contributor to the design, but so far it’s provided most of the colorways as well. We have already shown you the “Grape” version and now comes the Laney High School edition, also heavily influenced by a beloved Air Jordan V color scheme. Thanks to these new pictures, we get our best look yet at the latest Jordan shoe to fuse together classic Jordan models into a single design and we also get a closer view of some of the individual components. The Air Jordan V’s influence is hard to miss, but now you can plainly see the Air Jordan II heel section and the Air Jordan VII tongue, heel tab and 23 logo. So far, sneakerhead reactions to the shoe have been mixed, but we have a feeling that once more colorways begin to emerge, a lot of people will be changing their tunes. Stay tuned for more on the Air Jordan 60+ as additional information becomes available. Via NT.

The kicks feature a full grain finish touched up with textural elements and accented with a red swoosh and plaid detailing. A release is slated for November 2009 at Footlocker accounts.

Today we can bring you a first look at a sample from the Nike SB Fall 2009 Collection. The Blazer Hi “Green Spark” comes with a bright green upper with red accents, as well as laces. The Swoosh also comes in green, but in exotic animal leather, slightly differentiating it from the rest of the sneaker. Overall definitely a refreshing colorway, that hopefully enters stores by the end of the summer. This sample is now already available from Mentalkicks.

Nike Dunk High Nylon Premium - Black - Pink - White





While the Nylon Magazine collaboration has gotten a ton of press lately, these ‘Vandalized’ Dunks were among the first we saw.

These feature a ribbed nylon strip just above the midsole and a striped tongue tag, features that have come to define the nylon Dunk series. Made for men and sure to be loved by more than a few ladies, these are available now at Nike Sportswear retailers, including their 21 Mercer St. flagship location.
