Swapped Sole Foams-Pearl + Black/Red = interesting concept



Here goes another pair of the infamous "swapped" sole customs done by Jason Negron of PackerShoes out of Teaneck, NJ. Not much needs to be said about these the shoes, they speak for themselves. Personally, I'm a fan of foams, not neccesarily anymore because of how they been retro'ed & everybody and they mama has a pair now, but if I had the dough, I'd grab these in a heartbeat...

Band of Outsiders + BARNEY'S "No Bunk, No Junk!" Collection







Designer Scott Sternberg and new line called label Band of Outsiders have teamed well-known NY boutique Barneys to collaborate for a exclusive line called No Bunk! No Junk!. The collection consists of an array of sharp, simple black and white pieces including a basic black suit in corduroy, a leather jacket, a gingham (apparently the look for this season because that mess is EVERYWHERE) pattern shirt, corduroy bowtie, stylish trench & last but not least a CLEANcut rugby (always a classic). The collection just hit six Barneys locations for the holidays.

The ONLY Hyperizes I can fathom.....

Like many of the huarache-esque designs that have (see 2k4 & 2k5) I wasn't really a fan of the Hyperizes (aside from Kevin Durant & co. rhyming in the commercial lol) but these manga edition joints designed by Takehiko Inoue could change my mind. what do you think???

Structure 91s..........

So here are 3 upcoming colorways for the structure triax 91s, a beautiful shoe that tracks back to the era in the 1990s when Nike, Adidas, & Reebook were going toe-to-toe cranking out premium, well-designed running and basketball (that's another discussion) shoes. IMO, the structure triax has the ability and with the versatility they've given it with these sorts of colorways to be just as popular as the "air stabs" that dropped a few years (still searching frantically for a pair of FOOTPATROLS), if you dont know what shoe that is what FOOTPATROL is....go do some research. well, that is all for today....

Red Bomber Vandals




I dont know if folks remember the Geoff McFetridge Vandals that were designed exclusively for Hanon in which the upper featured 2 layers, the top layer (like a pinstripe shirt) can be removed or frayed to reveal alternative upper. well customizer Jester from 3R Customs, created what he calls the "Red Bomber" customs in which he's taken that underlying layer and customized it with his artistic ability to make it look like bomb explosions....a very interesting concept...
