Married to the MOB x Nike Dunks

An entire white sole with a mostly white upper plus a dash of black patent leather is the perfect mixture of materials for a top notch Nike Dunk with enough clout to be labeled gangster. This is the product of a collab between Nike and Married to the MOB. May the thugs stand aside and keep the reserves for the Family.

Nike Air Yeezy

The Air Yeezy is what you get when you when the CEO of Nike gives KanYe West creative control over the design aspects of a new shoe. The shoe is inspired by Ye's zest for high top designer shoes and Air Jordans. The shoes also combine several different textiles including full grain leather along the heel, suede on the toe and midfoot and patent leather for the midfoot strap. As an ode to his Glow in the Dark tour, the outsole actually glows in the dark just like your rave staple glow stick. The shoes remain at the concept level and are not planned to be released.

?uestlove x Nike 1World Air Force 1

This is the brainchild of a collaboration between ?uestlove of The Roots and Nike. The pair is an extension of Nike's 1World Project. The kick's design is meant to be "an exentison of [?uestlove's] personality and combines burgundy leather, red canvas, neon green elephant print, a gold swoosh and a black silhouette of ?uestlove. That's a lot of personality to say the least.

Back From the Future

Nike began the "Back to the Future" design craze when they launched the Hyperdunk 2015 (above) nicknamed the "McFly." The craze continued when the original owner of the Nike Mag (middle) posted one of the shoes on eBaythat sold for $5,300. The Nike Mag was a full working prop that was inteneded to be used in the movie but the scene never materialized. The name comes from the magnetic properties the shoe was desinged to have. The complimentary Mattel Hover Board that was seen in the movie was also posted on eBay auditioning at $30,000. The board is unfunctional but is made from wood and metal and has a texturized paint job.

Supra Skytop TUF

I had a dream about these shoes, then I saw them for first time and I had to buy them.

Nike Olympic Village Pack

I think these were designed for the athletes to wear around the Olympic Village for the Beijing Olympics. Personally I would rock these anywhere. Especially the black on black.

High P-Rod

The newest Nike SBs designed for P-Rod. This is the first time P-Rod will have a hi-top shoe and the colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan.

Old Shoe, New Tricks

Nike has recently merged some of their newest technology with one of their oldest shoes. Here are the Air Max 90 featuring Flywire technology which allows the shoe to maintain support and function without additional weight. The shoe also features Free technology on the sole which allows the shoe to mimic a bare foot promoting foot muscle development.

Fresh Off the Boat


So I finally got on the Sperry bandwagon/boat the other day when I was making a few purchases with these Navy authentics. The authentic are hand-sewn with real leather so they're sure to last long with diligent care. Plus they're the original boat shoe so that makes them gangeter

1HUND(RED)

For some reason I really like these Chucks. I don't know if it's because they contribute to Product Red or because of the color pattern but they are dope and promise to demand attention.

Air Yeezy

Yeah KanYe has his own shoes from Nike. They're some extreme high tops with a combination of patent and perforated leather plus an exposed air bubble. No word on the release date or price range.

Seamless Dunks

So I found another pair of dunks I wanted to share, big surprise right? The shoes are seamless so the upper is one piece. The panels and swoosh are outlined by different color polka dots in the shape of hexagons.

Spidey Dunks

I thought these were dope mainly because of the colorway but the spider references are cold too. Peep the fly on the upper ankle. There's a spider on the toe too.

Lobster Dunk

These Dunks are fashioned to resemble a lobster. Peep how the upper resembles a lobster before and after being cooked and the claw band on the toe. The insole even is lined with a picnic blanket.

Skip the Sperry's



These are the Diamond & Dollar shoe from BBC/Ice Cream. The denim upper and white graphics give the shoe a classic yet versatile look.
