Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Black/Sapphire/Cyber



This latest Air Jordan 1 High got some interesting elements within its makeup. The toe area, midfoot and collar area are made of strengthened leather, while the rest of the upper is in Nubuck. The cyber laces and its blue sapphire swoosh and Jordan Wings logo stand out the shoes. Also white contrast stitching appears throughout the entire silhouette. To finish it off, this shoe is complimented with a cyber inner lining, a single-stitched black midsole and a white outsole.





Nike LeBron 8 “China Edition”






With a new season comes an all new LeBron James signature shoe. The LEBRON 8 is built on a basketball specific Max Air 360 unit – combined with Flywire technology – for the ultimate cushioning with lightweight comfort and lockdown control. With a luxurious, supple all-natural leather upper, the LEBRON 8 is classically crafted and modeled after the shell of a dress shoe. Functional detailing in the perimeter of the outsole provides flexibility while representing LeBron’s personal inspiration points. Lightweight multidirectional herringbone pattern specifically designed for LeBron’s first step and his quick cuts.

The China Edition sports in white and red, in addition, a speckled max air unit and icy sole. The lion on the front-side of the tongue represents LeBron’s ravenous nature – like that of a hunter on the basketball court. The China Edition replaced the western lion style to the ancient Chinese style lion rock. The same lion rock is also featured on the back heel as well as the sole.

The tongue-back label is a nod to bespoke off court attire, and highlights the crafted nature of the LEBRON 8 made specifically for Mr. LeBron James. The numbers 828 represent the 82 regular season games and the 28 playoff games.
The Swoosh design was moved back on the LEBRON 8 towards the rear of the shoe, ending on unique spoiler loop, to symbolize LeBron’s speed on court. Max Air 360 unit was designed for ultimate cushioning and impact protection.

Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 Black/Red



Rad Collector has a first look at the latest P-Rod 2.5 colorway. “While we’re really waiting for the V-Rod’s to drop, we don’t mind being temporarily placated by this new black and red colorway of the P-Rod 2.5. These are sure to be a holiday hit amongst skateboarders, sneaker heads, and Bloods alike. Cop them from Flatspot.”

Nike Dunk Pro SB Red/White Spring



“The entire outsole was redesigned, giving it an improved tread pattern that played off the original cupsole. Also, the cupsole was completely cored out, saving weight and bringing the foot lower to the board. The midsole was replaced with the lightweight and flexible cushioning material phylon.

The last item to get checked off was helping the shoe’s fit. That was fixed by moving some of the internal seems near the toe, thus eliminating pressure points.”

It might look the same, but it is lighter, stronger and just in general more suitable for skateboarding. The above red/white colorway is releasing January 2011.
