Nike Dunk High Retro/Black-Metallic Silver (Tiffany Hi?)

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:09:00 -0700

When I first saw these, I immediately thought of the Nike Dunk SB Tiffany. Released back in 2005, they were quite possibly the most hyped up Dunks ever, and are really hard to find now. If you don't want to spend $500+ to get a pair (like I did), here's the next best thing. This pair is pretty much the same color scheme, except for the speckled black front and patent leather. That, and the fact that they are only available in kids sizes. Bummer. If these still meet your criteria, you can get them now at Rakuten.

Whatever the case, I'm sure we'll find out in the upcoming months. Stay tuned.

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:42:00 -0700

Well, once again, I've got more news regarding the return of the White/Cement IIIs, but this time, it looks to be legit. Here's a pic from Jordan Brand's catalog.

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:08:00 -0700

This colorway was originally considered for the Bin 23 collection, but for some reason they decided to go with the other version instead. Not saying I don't like it, but this pair would have been much better, IMO. The person who is wearing these in the photos is none other than Gentry Humphrey, Jordan Brand's Footwear Product Marketing Director.

Nike Hyperfuse Black/Dark Grey

Fri, 2 Jul 2010 23:48:00 -0700

Usually a sneaker with an all grey upper looks quite simple, but if you throw in a little black behind the mesh fabric, it gives the illusion of shadows. That's exactly the effect you get with this pair of Hyperfuses. The metallic silver swoosh definitely adds to this sneaker's "stand-out" factor. These are available now at Marqueesole in select sizes, but hopefully they'll receive an official release in the next couple of months.

Thu, 1 Jul 2010 20:16:00 -0700

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:39:00 -0700

I've never been a big fan of the Dunk Mids, the cut has always been a little weird for me. However, after seeing these, I think I can make an exception. This pair of Dunk Mids has a red suede upper with black leather on the toe heel and swoosh. The sneaker is finished off with a white and black sole. Both pieces are held together with red stitching. Also, notice that the God awful velcro strap has been removed. IMO, it's better to leave that feature for Sheed AF1s. I bet these look even better in person.
