Bodega x Saucony Elite Grid 9000

The retro runner game is not just for Europe anymore and I for one couldn’t be happier! Below is the new collab from Boston’s Bodega and Saucony. Saucony is another brand that is known for running but has been gaining street cred with its collaborations with popular retailers like Berlin’s Solebox. The Bodega x Saucony Elite Grid 9000 pack features more great fall colors that can carry straight through to spring. The first pair features blue, grey, and purple with a gum sole that all just flow perfectly. These would be great with some khakis or your favorite pair of denim.

The next pair features a slightly toned down set of the same colors sans the purple. This pair doesn’t pop as much to me but is still a neck breaker in its own right.

Look for both pairs at Grand Rapids’ Premier or your favorite Saucony spot. Shouts to SneakerNews for the story.

As mentioned yesterday New Balance has really been killing it lately. Today brings more of the same with this group of 4 ML574s starting to hit retailers. The ML574 is a more rugged version of their standard 574 retro runner. This pack features a whole bunch of fall looks with something for everyone. Two of these feature the popular boot look with ripstop toe boxes and corded laces while the other two feature more classic looks. I am definitely feeling that orange and blue pair which has an ACG type feel to it. (oops did I just compare across brands?) Which DROP is your favorite?

Remember the late 80s and early 90s? I remember my parents making me leave my Starter Hornets jacket in the car when we were at the mall!

The Hundreds Boot Pack

I would have to say that from a clothing standpoint The Hundreds is my personal favorite brand right now for a lot of reasons. I love their 80s attitude, color palate, and art work but I also love the way they go about things and approach their audience. Their footwear line has been a HUGE success in the current trend of vulc soles and lifestyle shoes. I like them but still lean more towards athletic kicks. This new boot pack for fall has definitely caught my attention though! Featuring 3 of their popular silhouettes (all named after cali baseball players) the Johnson, Wayne, and Riley this pack is perfect for the change in seasons. It showcases classical hiking boot styling with brown leather, gum soles, and those well known red laces. Click through to check out more photos featured on NiceKicks and watch for these at your favorite The Hundreds Footware retailers soon!

Jordan IV White/Cement Release Date

The upcoming Jordan retro releases continue to pile up! They are snapping necks and emptying bank accounts of sneakerheads young and old alike. Announced today is the first retro release of the historic Jordan IV in the White/Cement colorway since 1999! This is a color that is timeless and put Jordans on a lot of people’s radar back when originally released. Tinker Hatfield hit a home run back in ‘88 on his second Jordan design with the lightweight mesh and speckled midsole previously unseen on basketball shoes at the time. This highly anticipated release will DROP on 2/18/12 just in time for a late Valentines gift to the sneaker lover in your life. 2011 was the year of the III and 2012 looks to be the year of the IV! One note on the release is the $10 price increase from the $150 standard retro pricing. This is to be expected with Nike’s plans to increase profits over the coming year. Thanks to the peeps over at Modern Notoriety for the heads up.

Collaboration is the name of the game right now in the world of fashion kicks and New Balance is definitely a leader of the pack. The traditionally running brand has gained major fashion appeal with several high profile yet limited collaborations with stores like CNCPTS and Burn Rubber. These preview shots make it look like they have no intentions of slowing down. Crooked Tongues is a London sneaker/streetwear online retailer who offers all the hot brands and free international shipping! Today they DROPPED some previews of their upcoming New Balance 1500 collaboration in its preassembled form. The color palates on these 1500s have definite promise and are sure to create some hype on the blogosphere. The first features a classic orange/black/charcoal colorway that brings to mind the first of the fall holidays. The second features a another fall friendly palate of 2 shades of green and white. Look for these to DROP at Crooked Tongues next month and stay tuned for updates. The black based pair is most definitely on my radar!

Nike Air Max 90 Black Ripstop

Normally I am a huge fan of the Air Max 90 but something about this all black colorway just doesn’t work for me. The hype has remained behind this shoe since the 20th anniversary last year and the colorways keep coming. The ripstop nylon is a nice touch but I would have liked to see a hit of color on perhaps the swoosh and tongue tag. What do you think of this recent colorway of the classic? If you dig it you can cop yours at NSW retailers like Premier (http://www.thepremierstore.com/product_detail.cfm?CatID=Search&PID=9370)

Big Ups to Curly

Newest Pick Up – Nike Air Trainer SC II Infrared

Pretty pumped on my most recent pick up on the sneaker front. The Nike Air Trainer SC II was just released in the original colorways of White/Indigo Navy-Wolf Grey-Infrared & White/Cement Grey-Neutral Grey-Citron. These Bo Jackson signatures haven’t been released in these colors for nearly 21 years and are a welcome addition to old school sneakerheads closets and young beginners alike. These releases aren’t as hyped as some of the retro Jordans and nearly a full size run is still available on Nike.com among other retailers like Moda3 in Milwaukee (http://blog.moda3.com/).
