I’m not sure I’m allowed to do this but I’m sure Nike has already released these since the shoes have been given away to the PGA Tour players (I got this from someone who got it from someone else who got it from someone else LOL). Check out the special edition Dunks Nike did for all the Nike sponsored players who participated in this past weekend’s 2010 PGA Championship Open at Whistling Straits. You see Tiger’s pair?
Think the new Nike Air Force 1 Low Supreme WBF designed by DJ Clark Kent and new Nike Sportswear releases are still not enough motivation for you to drop by 21 Mercer? Now, for those who don’t want to buy ready-mades and fancy a little personality and creativity, the new materials that had just arrived at Nike Sportswear should be reason enough for one to make a trip down to SoHo. New soles, new laces and new upper material (think Natural Cork is just for stuffing wine bottles?) will have sneakerheads floored at the limitless creativie possibilities. Some of the new upper material include Hand Burnished Metallic Gold Leather, White Tiger, Asian Tiger, Cashmere, Canvas, Perf, Leather, Patent Leather and Boston Leather. Check out the options Nike Sportswear has whipped up and get those creative soles running.
Finally edited and uploaded my un-boxing review of Nike Air Max 90 Infrareds with Primitive x Justene Jaro tee w/ matching Fitted – beautifully presented in HD [thnx Flip cam]
Primitive out of Encino, California may best be known for it’s affiliation with skateboarder, Paul Rodriguez aka P-Rod, after all he is one of the partners of the retail store and brand, however Primitive is slowly making a name for itself via it’s t-shirts and New Era caps including this new “Infared Pack” that the store is releasing to coincide with the re-release of the Nike Air Max 90 “Infared”. Primitive collaborated with model, Justene Jaro, on an “Underwear & Infareds” t-shirt that comes in either Black or White and then they worked with New Era on a special “Infared” Primitive 59FIFTY fitted cap. Pick these up now at Primitive.
Ordered these last Thursday and just got the update that it will arrive this coming Monday the 26th. Be on the look out for the un-boxing review. First reactions is that the Infrared pack is iLL, HOWEVER (BiG however) I would have liked another pic of Justene Jaro on the shirt. I would prefer either her biting the shoe lace, liking the bottom of the shoes, or her with her legs cross leaning on the wall. Thats just me!!!
In Europe the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared has already re-released a couple of weeks ago. The US release is still coming and Primitive sure knows how to steer some attention towards their own release of the iconic sneaker. They got together with Justene Jaro for a shoot and also for a collaborative t-shirt. Both the sneaker and the tee will release on July 24th.
L.A. based shop Primitive is scheduled to stock the Nike Air Max 90 – Infrared on July 24th, and to celebrate the release, they’ve recruited model Justene Jaro to model the classic kicks in her underwear. I have plenty of pics for you guys/gals to salivate over, but for real sneakerheads we know it will be hard. Which do you pay attention to, the half-naked girl or the sneakers?
Nike continues to deliver new vulcanized models of it’s classic silhouettes, this Nike Auto Trainer combines the upper of the Trainer SC II with a Blazer outsole. One of the first colorways to be delivered at select sneaker boutiques is this New Green and Purple Punch colorway that uses a mix of suede and leather on the upper of the shoe. The off White and Purple Punch vulcanized outsole gives the shoe a clean finish when complimented against the New Green upper. Pick these up at select retailers up now including Wish in Atlanta.
LeBron is huge news everywhere now. The NBA draft wrapped up Thursday, and in many a General Manager’s office, all eyes are on the players in the draft and on the free agent market, headed by one of the game’s best–LeBron James. Not only is LeBron’s free agent status giant news, but now for those who follow the sneaker game, photos of his next sneaker, the Air Max LeBron VIII, have leaked. The NIke Air Max LeBron VII, with its fully visible Air Max unit, was one of, if not the most, popular models from his signature line, and it will remain to be seen if this model can replicate the success of its predecessor. This model takes the full Air Max unit and places it below a speckled midsole and above a semi-translucent outsole.King James’ Lion logo is embossed on the tongue and the outsole, while his signature graces the heel. This is the first set of photos, so stick with S4F for updates on the new shoe and his status as a free agent. via: VMWinc
Back in my day I participated in some shoe design contests which eventually helped lead to a nice contracting position at a major shoe manufacturer. Now it’s great to see that the Jordan brand and Nike have sponsored a Design Contest called Future Sole. Read on for more details:

With 2010 FIFA World Cup fever in full swing, Nike Sportswear and The Fader have teamed up together to collate the best music from each competing region in the form of a free, downloadable mixtape titled “Pitch Perfect”. This musical extravaganza started earlier this month and the duo already uploaded a mixtape from Maga Bo for South America (#1), Sinden for Europe (#2) and Canyons for Australia (#3). And now the latest and fourth upload from the series is the Asia mix by Japan’s Dexpistols. It explores the music from Japan, Singapore, China, India and Israel. The fast-paced, energetic mixtape may leave all listeners craving for more, but sadly, stops just shy of 20 minutes. Click onto The Fader website to download the mixtape and check out the other previously uploaded mixtapes.
