Vans....
Vans Classics will release of a few of the Vans, well, classics in a new material treatment for their Spring lineup. 3 separate silhouettes are included in the “Chambray” Pack, and all should hit retailers sometime in March.
The Sk8-Hi makes an appearance in black chambray, with matching canvas helping out on the heel, toe and midfoot areas. An Old Skool has been given the same material and color treatment, including the white contrast stitching. A blue Old Skool was also created, while an Era rounds out the pack. That shoe utilizes canvas on the toe and heel as well, with the pack’s namesake textile filling in elsewhere.
Nike Structure...
Towards the end of 2009, we showed you this Air Structure Triax ‘91 and told you to look out for it at the beginning of this year. Those of you that commented stated that it was a very fresh colorway. If you are one of those who took a liking to this sneaker, it is now available at Standard for $108.
This Air Structure Triax ‘91, which seems to feature a colorway that has been seen on a Nike Air 180, is ideal for the spring season. The predominately white leather and mesh base is complimented by green blade accents on the top laceholders, sole and tongue/heel panel branding. It also possesses a royal blue outsole giving it a nice color contrast to say the least. As stated earlier, you can purchase a pair now at Standard.
UNDFTD x Converse.
UNDFTD posted a follow-up featuring a femme fatale in their sneakers after the successful release of the Converse Poorman Weapon. In these photos, she is also sporting their MA-1 Flight Jacket-another piece in the overall collection.
This spread is another great presentation of UNDFTD product to stand alongside their earlier helicopter lookbook. Flip the post for more photos.
Vans Era - Ripstop
A new make-up of the Vans Era has hit End. This particular shoe combines both ripstop on the toe and heel and canvas on the mid panel. The combination of these materials ensures a durable shoe as well as a pleasing textural contrast. As for color, the upper is tonal and employs a muted palette of grays and beiges.
Finishing touches on the shoe include metal eyelets, gray laces, and yellow stitching in the lining. Click the jump to have a few looks at the shoe as well as a macro shot revealing the contrast between the ripstop and canvas sections.

Kind Cudi Greatest Sneaker moments.
If you are a Celebrity Sneaker Stalker fan, you would know that Kid Cudi keeps some heat on his feet. The Cleveland native has been seen in some classic Jordan, Lous Vuittons, and many other sneakers since his arrival on the hip hop scene.
With that said, what has been Cudi’s best form of footwear? Click here to view Kid Cudi’s Greatest Footwear Moments brought to you by Complex.
The green color way is so clean, I like a lot.
We have not reached it yet but Spring does shine around the corner. As the winter-to-spring seasonal change progresses, we can all expect sneakers to lower their cuts and brighten their colors. The Nike Sweet Classic SL is an exemplar of these adjustments..jpg)
Two colorways of the shoe are available and both feature base-white uppers with bright (green or red) accenting colors. Both colorways are available at Kasina. Soon enough you’ll be able to let your ankles breathe and watch the sun reflect off your icy whites. Click the jump for a look at the red colorway.

Cool color way.
If you’ve been following the Nice Kicks Twitteraccount, you know that the MAGIC tradeshow is currently going on in Las Vegas
for the clothing and sneaker industry. This pair of Nike Air Max 1s, which we first saw way back in November on the feet of a member of the Patta team, has popped up again. This time, it came with a confirmation that it will release.
Burgundy suede covers the mudguard and quarter panels, while a shimmer sheen-esque material fills in the remainder. The lateral Swooshes use burgundy carpet, while the medial ones use light blue. The lateral eyelets match are also blue, while yellow appears on the inner sides. A while midsole is complemented by the multicolor outsole to splash some more color onto this colorway. As a friend of Patta, artist Parra added this touches and artwork throughout.
These are pretty cool looking.
Closing in on the century mark L.L. Bean remains affixed to their golden rule of “Selling good merchandise at a reasonable profit, treat your customers like human beings, and they will always come back for more.” Emblematic of the company’s founding principles L.L Bean continues to appease us by continually delivering on maxim. From the forthcoming L.L. Bean Signature line set to drop later this year, the company endows upon us a tease of what is to come. Limited to only a 100 pairs the hand-stitched Waxed Canvas Maine Hunting Shoe is leniently priced at $129. Available for pre-order now at L.L. Bean.
These are a better color way but this shoe still sucks.
The latest in-line colorway of the Air Jordan 2010 readies itself for a release across the world with a Black/University Blue colorway seen here. The Air Jordan 2010’s defining element of design by most accounts is the clear “eye” seen in the mid part of the upper as it combines with patent leather and translucent University Blue outsole. With availability hitting Kasina, we expect a global launch right around the corner.

This Is My Family Giving Back. Love These Guys...
Queens congressman has steered $290,000 in taxpayer money to two convicted drug dealers for their nonprofit group - which has virtually no assets.Rep. Gregory Meeks has sponsored - and Congress has appropriated - the money to brothers Lance and Todd Feurtado for their King ofKings Foundation to warn kids of the dangers of drugs.
The brothers also have the support of Meeks' mentor, the Rev. Floyd Flake, and another Flake protege, stateSenate President Malcolm Smith (D-Queens), who steered them an additional $25,000.
Lance Feurtado says the money would pay for 150, 45-minute anti-drug, anti-gang presentations the brothers give at libraries and community centers. That's about $2,000 a talk.
The brothers have not gotten the congressional money yet because the Justice Department would have to approve it as part of an anti-gang initiative. Ironically, the brothers made a video that criticizes the department, claiming the feds used illegal tactics to bring them down.
Flake and Smith appear in the trailer praising the transformation of the Feurtados and touting a self-made DVD about their life, also called "King of Kings."
On the DVD trailer, Smith says of the Feurtados: "So many people's lives have been impacted by them, some in negative ways but now in very positive ways."
Smith sponsored the $25,000 state taxpayer grant for King of Kings in fiscal 2008. That money also is pending.
Flake has praised the brothers and urged viewers to buy the DVD. Flake is an investor in a group picked to run slot machines at Aqueduct. The feds have subpoenaed records related to the group in an active probe. Meeks and Smith have ties to another nonprofit under investigation.
The DVD is given out at the Feurtado brothers' talks in the community.
"We tour through libraries, recreation centers," Lance Feurtado said in an interview. "We reach out to the youth to educate them about the dangers of becoming involved in drugs and guns. We do 45 minutes, one hour ... [and] address a lot of history."
That history dates to the 1980s, when drugs destroyed thousands of lives in southeast Queens. At the time, the Feurtados ran a drug ring which, they say, supplied or "influenced" hoods like Kenneth (Supreme) McGriff, Lorenzo (Fat Cat) Nichols and Pappy Mason, who ordered the murder of NYPD cop Edward Byrne. The brothers were not accused in the hit.
The drug gang trafficked in pot, speed and cocaine in 23 states before it was busted in 1995.
Lance and Todd Feurtado and their brother Anthony were convicted on federal drug charges. Their terms ranged from seven to 15 years.
Todd was released in 2002, and Lance in 2004. Within a year, Lance formed a for-profit entertainment company called Executive Star Productions and produced the documentary.
The DVD, sold for $17, has a hip-hop soundtrack that includes 50 Cent and R. Kelly, and interviews with superstar rapper Jay-Z and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. The brothers' promotional material describes them as "legendary drug kingpins" and promises "real-life drama on the street."
In September 2006, the brothers went nonprofit, incorporating the King of Kings Foundation "to combat gangs, drugs and gun activity" in Queens.
In 2006 and 2007, King of Kings reported no assets on taxforms. In 2008, it claimed assets of $8,800. The group operates out of Lance Feurtado's 161st St., South Jamaica, apartment.
Despite meager assets, the group claimed in 2007 tax forms to have taken its anti-gang message "to over 1,000 youth and young adults" in Queens.
In an interview, Meeks said he sponsored the money because he was impressed with the Feurtado brothers, whom he met in 2007.
"The money's going for recidivism prevention, going into schools, handling workshops," Meeks said. "It's about meeting with young boys, dealing primarily in schools and workshops with individuals who may have been in trouble with the law or those who are headed in that direction."
Lance Feurtado said Smith contacted the brothers about funding the group. "Our name was kind of circulating a lot because of the things we've been doing for free - visiting the schoolyards to the prison yards," he said. "He heard what we were doing and came to us."

Who Rocked them better??? Round 1 Fight!!!
V.s.
| Just when we thought that we had reported on every pair of the Air Jordan Spizikes, Jordan pops up with another colorway, and a great one at that. For those nay sayers who are wondering if these are fakes, these shoes were on MJ’s feet at Flight School. The shoe looks to be another great shoe in the “Cool Grey” series of Air Jordans that includes the legendary Jordan 11, Jordan 3,Jordan 4, and Jordan 9. For months on end we thought that the Cement Jordan Spizikes were our favorite, but we may need to change our vote. Pics thanks to TheShoeGame and jumpan192 of ISS. There is now an update about the Cool Grey Air Jordan Spizikes. |
