Summer 2010 Shoe Release: Nike/Jordan Brand
Thanks to Kenlu, we have a ton of new images from Nike/Jordan for 2010.
The Jordan VI seems like a future drop in the always flossy White, Infrared,
and Black. Charles Barkley’s Olympic sneaker remix Zoom Barcelona seem
to have been modified into a high top sneaker fusion. Spizike color ways in
Grape and Black Red are on the horizon as wellas Jordan 2010 Black/Grey/
Red. The clear holes have been filled along with a touch of grey to blaze
the hottest Jordan 2010 sneaker looks so far. Kobe V appear in multiple
color ways, so keep a look out for those. The Jordan II seems to be creeping
back on the scene in its original color way White/Black/Red. A number of color
schemes are dropping via the cross trainers from Nike, most notably LIVE
STRONG color ways through and through. Check out the rest of the future
sneaker releases below.
Skate and Destroy: Exhibition of Art-Japan
In Tokyo, one of the illest art galleries ever created, Harvest by Haroshi
was exhibited on 02/27/10. Skate decks broken and old were recycled
into art and presented at the Pismis Gallery for a few days. Here are a
few pictures of the Gallery courtesy of Brandon Shetga.
SB Nike Omar Salazar Limited Edition
Nike has officially hit the sneaker game with a Nuclear Bomb via the
Nike Omar Salazar SB. The shoe is a definite cop for the Spring and
is a must have for all sneaker collectors out there. The SB Salazar
consists of one piece to construction. This allows heel locking and
reduced weight, ideal for all the skateboarding community. The shoe
also stunts Nike Flywire technology, a first for any SB shoe. The light
weight support system allows foundation of the upper ankle and
maximizes stability. Old school dunks had the puff tongue and to some
dismay, the new dunks don’t. The Nike Omar Salazar solves this problem
by providing a Hidden Tongue Pocket. A removable tongue for thickness
is included with every pair of these limited edition sneakers. Also on the
back of the shoe, a hidden pull tab window is inserted into the back arm
panel for style and comfort. Nike zoom laces the bottom of the sneaker, with
a Zoom Air Bag embedded in the heel. The custom tread upsole is studded
with vulc like edge for grip beyond this atmosphere. The sneaker will hit the
stores in March so stay wide awake for these limited edition shoes. The Shoe
Game may never be the same.

Syracuse Future Sole Melo VIL: Big East Tournament Edition
Even though Georgetown won today vs. Syracuse in the Big East
Tournament (91-84), Syracuse was granted the right to don the shoe
fiend coveted Melo VI Future Sole. The ridiculous design by Austin
Jermacans, 2009 Future Sole Winner, is laced with distinctive patent
orange leather, elephant print, and Tumbled Leather. Regardless of the
score, the Melo’s VI Future Sole is one of the most complete shoes Jordan
Brand has put their fingers on in years. Now all they need is bright green
neon with Black. Watch for limited runs in the future.

Underground Artist: Apocryph
Artists never get the love they deserve. Apocryph is one of the underground
artists out there that rarely are shown love. Most the work is abstract and
unique through cartoons. It reminds me a lot of abstract graphics from Japan.
Anime cartoon Bleach has similar looking masks on the bad guys and I love
that cartoon. Check out Apocryph’s Art and information here at Deviant Art.

Nike Air Max 95 Neon: Greatest Air Max 95 Sneaker of All Time
One of the greatest running shoes of all time dropped the best colorway
ever last month. On 02/27/10 the Air Max 95 Neon released and I can
officially say it is the best colorway ever for this shoe. Many will stand by
the Mint Green/ Grey or the Orange. But in my opinion you cannot fade
the Neon Green. Hug Air pockets and luxury fit make this easily the sickest
Air Max 95 ever. Check out the rest of the pictures below. My top 3 Air Max
95’s goes Neon, Mint, and than Orange. View for yourself the retro sneakers
in their glory.
The Hundreds Spring 2010 T-shirts/Hats
Spring is bringing out the best in Street clothing. The Hundreds is riding
out the Winter into the heat with multiple cold blooded t-shirts and hats.
Look at the Weird Science shirt from the Hundreds, tell me that is not an
instant classic. Oh and we could ever forget the Easy E Starter esq hat
from back in the day. The Hundreds took the cursive and made it their own.
The LA Raiders back in the day used to rock these on the sidelines, true to the
90’s all over again. A few New Era hats have been released as well as a few
stocking caps. Check out the rest at The Hundreds Shop.
Bape Spring 2010 T-shirts
Once again Bape has dropped a nuclear set of t-shirts for all
to gawk at. Nigo has put his spin on things with the flashy 2010
Spring drop. Personally I would have loved to see another KAWS
collaboration but maybe they don’t want to do it again, who knows.
But for the time being there is quite a few bangers, including the
T-shirt with the Ape with a credit card. I have never seen that image
from Bape before, check online at Bape to see when these T-shirts
hit the shelf. No word yet on a release date, but I can assure it is
coming very soon.
