Vans Vault has deemed this make-up to be the Cherise colorway of the Sk8-Hi Lx. Many, however, can’t help but connect this colorway withGryffindor’s USC’s maroon and gold team colors. The shoe sports an all-maroon upper with gold-yellow contrast stiching, laces, and foxing. As with all the Vans classics, all of the above rests on a vulcanized sole.
You can scoop these kicks at Vans Vault retailers nationwide for $85.

Name: DJ Senatore Tell us a little about you and your position at the store: I’m 26 years old and I am the Co-Owner of Rare BreedFootwear along with my business partner Stephen Perri.

What makes your store special? We try to look a little different than most stores; clean look, nothing too crazy. Most of our displays are custom made. We have a fence and a bleacher that we display clothing and shoes on. It has both the feel of a boutique and a little street feel. Also, we appreciate our customers, and we appreciate them coming in, whether its to buy something or just hang out and chop it up for a little bit.
Shoe that got you hooked: 1996 Air Jordan XI - White/Columbia. My brother just came back from the mall with my mom, and she had bought them for him. I wanted them, so she took me back to the mall that night and she bought them for me too. Those were the good ol’ days when you didn’t have to camp out for shoes.

The Nike Sportswear East vs. West run of releases continues with these Air Max 1s, which represent the West with a natural approach. Right away you can tell these may be from the same design pack as the Varsity Red/Black-White, but the colors sure weren’t pulled from the same palette.
Baroque Brown suede is used for the upper majority on these, contrasting the Urban Haze surrounding it. The traditional white midsole is present also, working against the dark upper and black liner. Black mesh is also used on the tongue, matching the suede Swoosh. Durasheen is used in olive green around the ankle area, adding a military look.

As a brand with roots in sports lifestyle, UNDRCRWN’s rich palette of products have easily made their way from the courts to the street – products which have, over time, become coveted in fashion and basketball culture. In Winter 2010 they introduce a brand new men’s capsule-collection titled “D.O.C.” The Apparel Range, conceived by Dustin Canalin (UNDRCRWN Creative Director), focusing mainly on contemporary “Cut & Sew” pieces. In addition, there is a co-branded footwear collaboration with Rockport.
To kick-off the capsule, we’re releasing the limited edition “D.O.C x Rockport Delta Boot.” Truly for the aspirational at heart, the shoe features an array of luxe materials. The dark grey Melton wool & black suede upper is reminiscent of fabrics used on premium varsity jackets while the black and white gingham lining counter-balances the darkness of the shoe. Giving it the sense of luxury found in tailored suits and handcrafted luggage, pinstripes were also added to the upper. A butter soft leather heel and embossed leather patches on the tongue further compliment the refined aesthetic. To lighten up the design, a pop of color was incorporated through the use of pink-waxed laces. Hand sewn elements and purple stitching found on the heel mimic the construction of apparel and provides the perfect finishing touch to tie it all together.
Applying a timeless design to the Rockport silhouette results in a clean, luxurious and fashionable boot. With only 100 pairs available globally, the Fall/Winter 2010 “D.O.C x Rockport” collaboration will start retailing on Friday November 27th. The shoe will also be available for purchase at UNDRCRWN.com in limited quantities.

The Air Jordan “Motorsports” 6 has been a big topic of discussion since we first saw a sneak of it way back in March. More recently we discovered that not only was the Jordan Motorsports crew blessed with the Retro 6, but also a pair of similar of 6 Rings, which we’ve now seen in detail. And while you’ll likely never get your hands on a pair of these AJ6s, we do have some detailed shots for you.
As you can see, the midsole and outsole are both black, with a semi-translucent black on the latter. Black and white is obviously the theme for these, matching the motorcycle seen with the above 6 Rings. The only colors seen on these outside of those two are the red and gold letters on the tongue. Alas, these may be out of reach, but with 2010 promising a number 6 retros, including these in white and black, hopefully your thirst will be quenched.
As sneaker enthusiast, we all know the shoeworld is always evolving into new and innovative styles. One year high top sneakers may be the ‘in’ thing only to change to low-cut sneakers the next year. One constant theme that we have seen this year is the vulcanized sole.
Believe it or not, some of your favorite kicks have applied the vulcanized sole such as the Dunk, the Air Flight Lite High and various Jordan sneakers. With that said, our staff dug into the archives to see which sneakers are actually compatible with the ever-so-popular vulcanized sole. How do you feel about the vulcanized inflation?
