The “Opening Day” Collection has brought us some very interesting Vans sneakers, including the Old Skool LX done for the Anaheim Angels. Next up in the series is this Sk8-Hi, which was designed for the Baltimore Orioles.
While the entire is solid black, it’s the details of this shoe that make it what it is. Leather is used for the midfoot, forefoot and heel, while canvas fills in the remainder. Near the ankle, orange embroidery and an orange eyelet further this shoe’s ties with the O’s. Finally, a heel logo was embroidered on to finalize the relationship. 12 pairs will be released on April 9th at Commonwealth.

A special day in mid April is an important one to many across the world. While there has been a major movement to “go green” within Nike with the Nike Considered program, the Nike SB Dunk “Skunk” takes a different interpretation of the phrase.The uppers of this Dunk SB High feature a soft, kushy, suede with hits of purple haze on the swoosh and outsole. Inside the shoe spells out the obvious for anyone remotely confused with a stash pocket and a green skunk with bloodshot eyes.
Word on the street is these will be a quickstrike release around 4-20. I think we can do the math right?
A couple of weeks ago, we notified you of the Nike Blazer Hi Vintage Black/White releasing at select retailers overseas.

This Blazer also possesses a five-strap velcro design across the midfoot and owns contrast stitching on the swoosh. As stated earlier, you can now purchase this Blazer at HUF among other retailers

Nike SB’s April lineup has surfaced, and even released, earlier than expected. Two of the skate line’s releases are these Blazers, which are keeping their look clean, simple and nearly monotone. Flatspot has the jump on the competition overseas, if you can’t wait for their stateside release.The first relies on black suede for its upper, with graphite grey as the choice color for the Swoosh, liner and embroidery. A white sole is used, matching the primary laces. The second uses a slight bit more color, as Midnight Navy is in place at various accent points throughout the Matte Silver shoe, including the Swoosh and heel panel. Red is also a chosen accent color.
There was an abundance of happenings in the 1990s including the birth of gangster rap and Saved by the Bell. While yo-yo’s had their time and the Bulls reigned for most of the decade, one thing was constant: amazing college basketball. The 1990’s saw the Carolina-Duke rivalry in its prime, the rise of the Big East, and the birth of some of today’s biggest stars.
Sneaker heads also recognize the 90’s as the “Golden Age” of basketball kicks as sneakers such as the Air Jordan 11, the Foamposite One, and the Question surfaced.

Kente print and patent leather never looked so good together.

Which Nike Air Max LeBron VII colorway interests you the most so far? A lot of you have stated the “Dunkman” Air Max LeBron VIIs is undoubtedly the best one yet, while others wish they could get their hands on the “Hardwood Classic”colorways. However, we have spotted two new Air Max LeBron VIIs that may rank amongst the best.These two Air Max LeBron VII colorways reveal who LeBron James himself looked up to as a youngster in Akron, Ohio.
