OLD SCHOOL V.S NEW SCHOOL

The new school 180 was not really a big hit with me because of the stocking upper taking away from the leather satin of the original. The fit was like a glove though and very comfortable but the OG in me yearned for the original. The next thing i know pow! Nike vintage box and out comes the original 180 silhouette. Intact with the vintage dust look that Nike applies to all their vintage releases the 180 takes you back to its original form and feel. Both are a excellent cop but i see the OG's going for the vintage.

Kith x Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III “East Coast Project”

The Kith East Coast Project takes the collaboration concept far beyond expectations with all the extended family involved. Accompanying the Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III ‘New York City’ and ‘Miami Beach’ editions, this capsule collection goes to include custom-created headwear, outerwear, shirts, luggage and eyewear that each carry iconic team colors. 

Limited quantities will launch at the Kith Miami pop-up store on May 2nd, following with the Manhattan and Brooklyn Kith locations on May 10th as well as online at KithNYC.com. As far as Ronnie Fieg is concerned, it’s just the beginning: “This was supposed to be an intro to the store I want to open in Miami.”

The collection will debut in Miami with special guests to complement the very special products that are going on sale. The Miami pop-up store itself will be divided into two parts, the two adjacent store fronts will have the Miami side open from 11am to 3pm and the next door New York side of the location open from 4pm to 8pm. Each location is outfitted with staple items and installations that make each city what it is. Consider the bar officially raised as May begins. #ECP

Each look was shot by photographer and creative 13thWitness in New York City with style and direction by Mellany Sanchez.

Nike Georgetown presents the "We Run DC" collection, an exclusive three-shoe set commemorating the inaugural Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. 

The trio of shoes represents the journey and active lifestyle of the women who have trained so hard to prepare for Sunday’s Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. The Nike Free 5.0+ DC serves as the ultimate training tool for running; the Nike Roshe Woven DC celebrates active women's style with a unique new design; and the Nike Studio Wrap Pack provides inspiration for pre- or post-race stretching and yoga.  

The Roshe Run Woven DC and Studio Wrap Pack are now available exclusively at Nike Georgetown, while the Free 5.0+ DC is also available at select specialty running retailers.  

The Roshe in this pack would be a definite pick up for me if i could find then in a Mens size. The woven prism look is amazing.
