Sole Collector: Air Yeezy edition


Sole Collector’s Issue 29 will feature the Nike Air Yeezy on the cover and as the focal point of this latest edition of the magazine. This cover features the unreleased pair that Kanye used to debut the Yeezy at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards last year.

After all the colorways have been released, the Air Yeezy will eventually become a certified design that will retain timeless relevance.

Air Jordan 3 "true blue's"







This Saturday, arguably the greatest non-US Jordan release will occur. The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” has hit the web through a few sources for the past couple of weeks, but you have just a little more than a week to get your money and connects straight for the global "International release" date of Saturday, August 8th. By "International Release" i mean Asia will have them, Europe has them, and our friendly neighbor to the north, Canada will have them.. but no True Blues will release in the US. daamn.. what the fuuuuuuuuuuckk?!?? :[

kanye x air-jordan collabo in the future??

After winning Grammy awards for his music, Kanye West quickly transitioned into the footwear design world with the successful releases of his Nike Air Yeezy and Louis Vuitton collection. According to MediaTakeout, Kanye has his sights set on designing a sneaker with the Jordan Brand. Rumor has it that "Kanye is negotiating to design a limited edition pair of Nike Air Jordan's" and "negotiations are still early, but that both sides are excited about working out a deal".

If this IS true, it'd be pretty intresting. Just another "everyday big move" for mr. yeezy. lol

Dime mag: top 50 sneaker stores in the world



In this issue of Dime mag, they feature an interesting article on the "Top 50 sneaker stores in the world" & "Top Consignment sneaker shops in the world." I've actually been waiting for coverage on something like this, with me of course being somewhat a "shoe-head" myself. lol

I think they did a great job on this because all the local stores that i am personally aware of, had received the attention & rankings they well deserved.

*btw - Derrick Rose graces this issue's cover.. nice.

local L.A./southern-california shops covered & credited: the legendary UNDEFEATED, Blends, Proper, Attic, Huf(bay area), Flight Club, R.I.F, & The Holy Grail.

This is the typa' shit that'll make a dude wanna go out & pick up a skateboard, or walk around L.A. & admire the city itself, or most importantly BUY THE SHOES!! lol Them all-RED joints are something serious tho. Big ups to whoever's idea this was.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV "Draft Day" edition



The name Kobe Bryant is so synonymous with the Los Angeles Lakers that it's real easy to forget that KB24 was actually drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996. Kobe's draft rights were signed over to LA in exchange for Vlade Divac, and the rest, is history. To commemorate this vital piece of NBA history, Nike is set to release a Charlotte Hornets colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. The Draft Day Nike Zoom Kobe IV features a White upper with Teal and Purple accents. The day of the draft "6.11.96" is also emblazoned on the heel tab and on the footbed. A release date for the Draft Day Charlotte Hornets Nike Zoom Kobe IV has not been confirmed.
