Piano air max.

Taiwanese group PHANTACi paired with Nike on these Air Max 1s, drawing inspiration from a grand piano and translating it onto a wearable canvas. We saw this pair yesterday, but now we have a detailed look at them.


A few details were missed in the last look, including the gold patent leather heel portion and also the gold Air Max bubble support, as well as the metallic finish on the top double-eyelets. Of course, the pink velour liner is a very unique look and matches the outsole perfectly. Unfortunately they’re an Asia-only release, so outside of some connections, odds are you may never grab a pair of your own.

Vans vault are the F**k best. I love these color ways.

It appears Vans will have something for everyone in the upcoming year. In this preview Vans displays two collaborations, a boat shoe pack, an “Aztec” pack, a hemp pack, and two suede packs.

Streetwear brands Acapulco Gold and Crooks and Castles are the aforementioned collaborators. The former brand collaboration bears a White/Green colorway, while the latter’s shoe dons an all-black upper. The “Aztec” pack features two suede and leather compositions with each bearing Aztec patterning on the strap and midsole. The suede packs utilize rich brown and grey suede, respectively. Lastly, there are two Era models wrapped in hemp and a Hi and a Lo model of the Del Barco.

Judging from the photos, are you already setting aside any dough for next year’s Vans? Let us know what’s good in the comments.

Cool design very different.

Android Homme has released their Holiday Collection for 2009, which means your local retailer should have all three of these silhouettes in stock by now. The Propulsion 1, Propulsion II and the Jet Pack 2 has dropped in a total of 6 new colorways.

We already saw these Propulsion IIs a few weeks back, which included flip-flop colorways of black and white high-tops. The Jet Pack II is coming in two similar color-ups, though the black pair features a copper accent strip going from sole to ankle. The Propulsion 1 comes in the wildest color-ups by far, as it drops in bronze and white, with another done in metallic silver and black.

These are nice....

To pay tribute to the Honolulu Marathon and also the boom of West Coast running, Asics has designed these two pairs of GT-II, dubbed the “Honolulu Marathon” Pack. Each pair is done with a separate color palette, though both draw inspiration from Hawaiian themes.

The brighter pair uses pink for its midsole accent, liner and arches logo. The darker pair uses a black nubuck majority with light blue contrast stitching, which matches the remainder of the upper. Pink is also used here on the liner and the logo on the midsole. Both pairs also get a mixed outsole of black and gum. Both are listed as female releases, but you can always size up.

Get a chance to WIN.

To help launch Karmaswap, Karmaloop.com’s new online auction site, they have paired with Kanye West and his namesake foundation to put together Kanye’s Closet. Karmaswap is available for both private resellers and small boutqie brands looking to get their product out. The Nike Air Yeezy obviously needs no introduction. And while it will undoubtedly fetch the largest bid, there are plenty of other items up for a good cause, including memorabilia, t-shirts and so on, all autographed by Mr. West himself. The auction culminates with the posting of the Yeezys on December 1tth and will run until the 18th.
