Nike SB Dunk Low Premium - Pink - Sky Blue - Yellow




Having already seen one new pair of Nike SB Dunks prominently featuring yellow, let’s take a look at another. The brighest pair we’ve seen in a while, this new Nike SB Dunk Low Premium should be a standout hit for summer. They feature a mix of bright pink and sky blue, accented by a subtle mark of Premium-edition Dunks that adds a rich quality: the yellow outlines. Not quite piping, not quite underlay, the yellow outlines around the pink elements add a certain depth that let you know these are among the nicest Dunks you’ll find. Currently exclusive to Korea, these might not drop stateside. You can make sure to get yours now by hitting up Choko. via NiceKicks

Nike Dunk High SB - Yellow - White - Black




Doesn’t Nike realize that there are legions of sneakerheads who can’t wait to spend their hard earned dough on the latest Dunk SB’s? Maybe they are playing it smart by spreading their Dunk releases out a little more to create more demand and anticipation, but whatever the impetus, all we know is that when a fresh new Dunk SB hits the shelves, they definitely have our attention. With strong Dunk High SB releases few and far between lately, it’s nice to see that they’ve still got some fresh colorway ideas up their sleeves.

atmos x Reebok Pump Omni Lite Polka Dot





Having seen a handful of team-ups between premier Japanese sneaker store atmos and Reebok in the last six months or so, the two continue on with their partnership on the Pump Omni Lite. The sneaker made famous by NBA Slam Dunk Champion Dee Brown back in the early 90s is seen here in a much brighter and noticeable form than the original release that was decked out in black. Purple suede, white leather and lime green are highlighted by a bright multi-colored polka dot pattern. Stay tuned for details on a release which will include atmos among other retailers.

Chapter x Reebok Glow Pack - Pump Omni Lite + Court Victory Pump



Reebok has once again teamed up with Japanese retailer, Chapter, for a new collaboration pack, and like their Juggernaut Pack from a few months ago, the subjects are also the Pump Omni Lite and the Court Victory Pump. This time around, instead of solid colorways, both shoes go in the total opposite direction of the Juggernaut kicks, using a rainbow of bright pastel colors to bring these two classics to life. Different shades of pink, green, yellow, purple and blue can be found on both, as well as sections of patent leather on the Pump Omni Lite and a hexagon pattern on the heel of the Court Victory Pump. If you’re still not sold, then just turn out the lights. This isn’t called the Glow Pack for nothing. Check out the images after the jump for a look at what these kicks look like in the dark. Both pairs are available now at Chapter.

Lemar & Dauley x DC Shoes Spring 2009 Xander



The third in a series of collabs between DC and New York’s Lemar and Dauley: The Lemar and Dauley Xander.

The muse for the Summer 2009 Lemar and Dauley Xander was racquet sports—inspiration was pulled from tennis and the equipments used. The tennis racquet became a source of inspiration, along with both the clay and grass courts that are used as the playing field. Special attention to detail led to the utilization of a mesh material on the side panels and tongue of the Xander as a reflection of the interlocking strings used within the racquet. The houndstooth detail served as an iconic brand logo, much like the branded logos printed on tennis racquet strings, while the clear sole of the shoe reflected the nylon material used to make the cords. In the final details, leather trim was used around the edges as well as under the sole of the shoe to represent the leather taping around the handle of the racquet. The insoles were printed with an abstracted graphic of the playing field itself to provide a complete story.

Both colorways drop May 1st at select DC LIFE retailers worldwide.
