If you watched the original Transformers cartoon
back in the day, I'm sure you remember Soundwave. He was
Megatron's spy and 3rd in command on the Deceptions, and in
typical 80s style, he could turn into a boombox. Plus, who could
forget that cool voice? To keep the memory etched in our heads
forever, Nike has created this special Soundwave themed pair of
Zoom Sharkalaids. This pair features a blue upper, and the straps
display controls similar to the ones seen on Soundwave's chest.
This pair will release on July 10. Click

You may remember that last month, I posted pics of
the "Tecmo
Bo" Nike Air Trainer IIs, which gave tribute to Bo

Jackson with this pair of Nike Blazers, which gives tribute to his

or a legit source confirms it. Stay tuned. Click

first pair, inspired by Dino, the Flinstones pet, features a
purple upper with black spots and a white and black sole. The

pair, except with an orange/black/white upper, and cerulean blue
stings. These are a very limited release, but luckily, a few pairs

be sure to keep everyone posted. Click
