Staple x New Balance 577

Its not often that a designer has so much pull that a mere teaser pic can get me and thousands of others excited. Well Jeff Staple is that designer. His iconic pigeon has made appearances on some of the most coveted and rare sneakers in the game. Another thing I like about him is that he also designs for function, not just form. You see it in various Reed Space items and more. Designers like Ronnie Fieg are definitely inspired by the clean lines DROPPED by Staple over the years. Here we take a look at a teaser pic of the new Staple x New Balance 577 Made in England. The 577 is a great model that has most recently popped up in the Highs and Lows Night and Day Pack. The black body and pink (or is it infrared) highlights definitely look like they could have some more pigeon inspiration and I for one will be anxiously awaiting the full look. His last collab with New Balance was nothing short of awesome (pictured below) and I am sure this DROP will be just as great. Take a look below and get excited! (Pic credit)

In perfect timing for gift giving season the coveted Nike Air Force 1 Low and High have returned to NikeID in limited quantities. Some of the features available for customizing with this DROP are brushed wool outers and chenille swooshes. This shoe is an icon but one that has not fit into my personal style lexicon for years. That definitely didn’t stop me from giving my designing skills a go! Check out the DROP DSM rendition here and let’s see yours!

Grails. Neck Breakers. Butta. Whatever you call them the Air Jordan III is a shoe of legendary status. The iconic elephant print. The visible air unit. The gorgeous tumbled leather. These kicks changed the game when they DROPPED back in 88 and have been snapping necks and topping best of lists ever since. The Jordan IIIs in Black/Cement have become synonymous with the GOAT himself. The triumphant return comes appropriately on Black “Cement” Friday 11/25/11 this year for the first time since 2001 which also happens to be the day after my birthday. I’m stoked, you’re stoked, what else can you say? If you are reading this blog you probably already knew about these kicks so here’s the official images to build the anticipation.

Popping up over on NiceKicks today we see the upcoming colorways of the popular runner from Nike the Air Pegasus ‘92. This group of DROPs features a lot of outdoors inspired colorways and materials that just seem to be showing up everywhere right now. The first is a cream/blue/orange makeup that is obviously inspired by the popular Moab ACG colorway. Its the brightest of the 4 and will probably be the most successful DROP. I really enjoy the second shoe shown below in the brown/violet/copper makeup as I am always a sucker for purple hits on shoes. These will start making their way to retailers in the coming months. Head over to the NiceKicks link to see more pics. Which DROP will you COP?

Nike Dunk High Deconstruct

Today we take a look at a new DROP from Nike that in my opinion comes out of left field. Seen below is the Nike Dunk High Deconstruct. This is a new series from Nike that was also seen on the Air Force 1 and strips the shoe down to only its suede outer. The reason this DROP is so crazy to me is that Nike has always been a performance first company. All of their shoes outside of the lifestyle lines have always been “sport ready” so to speak. These suede kicks don’t appear to provide enough support for any type of sport but they do look like a perfect style compliment for a relaxed look. The tonal colorways and gum sole are a perfect pairing with the lightly structured suede. Adding details to these are the interior branding on the tongue and the Nike logo-ed aglets add some pop. Think any other models will pop up? Would be really interesting to see how this treatment works on some of the classic runners in the Nike catalog. Watch for these to DROP next summer and thanks to SneakerNews for the pics.

Solebox x Saucony Shadow 5000

Surprise surprise, Europe has another sick retro runner on its hands! Here we take a look at the Solebox x Saucony Shadow 5000. The German shop Solebox is no stranger to collabs and personally I have liked almost everything I have seen them DROP. For this one they once again look to the Saucony Shadow 5000 for their canvas and create 2 great works of art. The first pair features a primarily black and white make-up of suede with pink hits on the eyelets and lining. This pair is versatile enough to wear with anything while still adding a little pop with the pink. The second shoe of the pack is a little louder featuring a black and pink make up in the same suede with the pink appearing on the toe cap similar to Ronnie Fieg’s Salmon Toe Asics from last month. This pair still features enough black to be very versatile but are you man enough to rock the pink? It is breast cancer awareness month after all! As per usual these will more than likely be limited in numbers and reach when they DROP but if any German heads want to send a pair my way I’d be happy to return the favor!(thanks to SneakerNews for the pics/info)

Worst Shoes Ever Created?

I will start with a little background. I can’t stand Jeremy Scott designs. I think the wings, bones, bears, and what ever else he throws on Adidas have no place in sneaker design. That being said I think these may be the worst iteration yet. I mean just because someone puts something on a sneaker and makes it expensive does not mean it is cool. I am sure we will see these on the feet of celebrities like Lil Wayne soon enough though. SMH!

Here we take a look at yet another photo of the Yeezy 2s set to DROP early next year. While Ye’s look here isn’t quite awesome the Yeezy 2s appear to be on point. Featuring a black/lime palette and another large strap these are sure to be a hype machine when they DROP. Are you counting down the days?
