Hitting all the usual web spots today is the preview of the Nike SB Dunk Low collab with Michigan skate shop Premier. The pics show a white and icey blue upper with the fat tongue, black branding hit, and 3 sets of laces in blue, white, and black. They also show an icey sole made famous on recent Jordan Retro releases. With the help of some sleuthing by Zack (@neilyoungsvoice) over at Ahoodie I have come across what could be a full preview of the dunk low courtesy of sneakernews and their 2012 Dunk Low SB preview post from November. The majority of the upper appears to be done in a rich leather with a ‘bubble’ like texture. Its almost like a tumbled leather but at the same time not. The rest of the upper is finished out with a black midpanel and white swoosh. Only time will tell if this pic is the true release but if so would you cop? Comment below and let us know!

 

EDIT: Nicekicks previewed these as well!

Won the Strictly Fitteds contest and made this to match my Ronnie Fieg Leatherbacks

The Yeezy news just keeps coming! According to The Shoe Game the Pure Platinum version of Kanye West’s second signature shoe will release on April 13th for a retail price of $250 (ouch). This color would be the counterpart of the ‘Zen Grey” Yeezy 1 that was my personal favorite of the bunch. For many this comes as great news after so much back and forth information on the release. It’s a bit of a relief to have a date to look forward to somewhat. These will be a tough cop for sure & we still need to hear 100% from Nike but I am sure people are already loading up their tents and sleeping bags now. No word yet on release locations or if it will be available online. Stay tuned for more Yeezy madness and take a look at the best pic we have seen so far below.

 

 

 

You knew it was coming. Given the trend set by Jordan brand in 2011 with the IIIs we all expected a ton of the classic IVs to return in 2012. Word is out that one of the most popular Jordan’s of all time will hit retailers in November 2012, presumably on Black Friday. The Jordan Black Cement IV is a shoe that just says Michael Jordan to me. Its one of the first shoes I always think of when I first think of the brand. Featuring all over black with red and cement grey highlights these just scream Bulls. Given the constant hype that has been being built by Nike this year I am sure these will be a tough cop. More news to come as official images drop later in the year but take a look at a taste below.

 

In a surprise twist a new colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 popped up on Nike Talk yesterday. Featuring an all purple upper with red and voltish highlighting these are an interesting look for the most highly anticipated shoe of the year. The cubic gold lace aglets are an interesting look as well. These have an almost Christmas 2011 Kobe feel to them. Only time will tell if this is a sample or an official colorway. What do you think?

The hype continues to grow for the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy 2. Jay-Z was seen courtside at the Nets game last night wearing the Black/Solar Red colorway of the instant classic people are already camping out for ahead of an actual release date. There have been rumors that these are coming soon and also rumors of a delayed release to produce more pairs and avoid the Galaxy Foam craziness. Given the popularity of both Nike right now and Kanye, I don’t think Beaverton could make enough pairs to avoid the madness. Take a look at the pic below for more. Don’t have an “in” with Yeezy like Sean Carter? Comment how you plan to cop your Yeezys!

Those familiar with Nike SB know they are no stranger to beer themed released such as the famed Heineken and Dos Equis of way back and more recently the Tecate, High Life, and New Castles. Well they are back to basics with some more beer themed releases for spring 2012. Could this be a pack releasing together? Here we see shots of the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Black and Tan’ and the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Guiness’. Both dunks feature obvious odes to the beers with brown and black leathers and mesh. The low version features a specialized insole that perhaps will also be featured on the high in some form. From initial looks the quality is not what we hoped to see from SB in 2012 as the leather doesn’t look up to pair with their themed releases of the past. Great colorways yes but I know I will be passing on these DROPs and sticking with the real beers. One additional thought is a potential for ‘Harps’ or ‘Bass” themed DROP to pop up soon as well given that your typical black and tan beer is half Guiness and half another lighter bodied beer.

#ReleaseUpdate. Due to extremely limited quantities, we will not be launching the “Galaxy” Foamposite One at NikeStore online.

My fit: Valentine’s Day 2012. Based my fit last night on the Jordan Retro VI Varsity Red that my wife got me for Valentines 2010. The pants are Levis 504 Khakis which are quickly becoming my favorite pair of non-denim. Handsome Boy Clothing Mason Varsity crew sweatshirt in navy and a New Era Chicago Bulls fitted to top it off. Casio G-Shock on the wrist as usual. (sorry for the mediocre pic)

Wanted to give some shouts to a recently discovered by me blog. Ahoodie features topics ranging from music to sneakers to fashion/streetwear and more. This site also happens to recently feature writing by one of my great homies Zack Sampsel aka @neilyoungsvoice. Peep game. Respect.
