Nike Air Diamond Turf Black/White-Teal


Nike just re-released the OG White/Sport Red/Metallic Gold Air Diamond Turf, now it's time to see the return of the Black/White-Teal colorway. These are by far the BEST colorway. First released in 1993, these have yet to be brought back, but they will return. Great news to Deion Sanders and Turf shoe fans. They stay true to the OG, minus a few logo changes as Neon Deion is no longer with Nike. No release date yet, but expect these pretty SOON. Retail will be $105.

Air Jordan XIII (13) Retro November 2010


It's like Christmas in Autumn!! Even though I've been saying ever since January that the Flint XIII's would be re-releasing, I'm excited that JB has confirmed the rumors. I remember my brother and I both having a pair of these back in 1998. And I remember both of us getting in trouble for me destroying my pair and my brother for having his pair stolen from his locker at school. These are one of my sneaker grails, so I'll scoop doubles on release date, if it's the last thing I do.

I'm glad the materials are up to par, and nothing major has changed from the originals to the '05's and now. I would say that these do carry a deeper hue of French blue and flint grey, somewhat similar to the OG's whereas the 2005 release were lighter. Expect these just in time for you to rock them to Thanksgiving dinner. Retail will be $150.

The King's Heatin' Up South Beach



Last night, Lebron announced he'll be playing for the Heat next season. Although, I'm disappointed in his decision, I have to respect it 'cause that's HIS decision. Being a Cavs fan, I feel betrayed, but as a Lebron fan I'm happy for him. Oh well, you'll still see a pair of Lebron VIII's on my feet when they release. Best of luck @Kingjames

Selvage Denim

Not your average department store True Religions, or prep school jock's favorite jean, Selvage denim is top of the line. Selvage, or "Selvedge", means that the material is cross-weaved in one continuous thread, old school style, rather than the cross-weaving of individual threads of your regular denim. They're made with the highest quality material. Averaging no less than $80 a pair, selvage denim is well worth the price tag because they're built Ford tough and virtually indestructable.

Japanese Selvage is the most rare and the finest, and can range from $100 up to $800. Handmade with similar quality to vintage Levis, Japanese denim companies produce the best selvage, hence the hefty price tag. It can also be dyed with natural dye and natural washes rather than a synthetic dye and wash.

Check out some of the best Selvage Brands:

Nike Air Max Penny 1 Retro - Spring 2011

The Air Max Penny 1 is set to return Spring 2011 in it's original "Orlando" colorway. Great news for Penny Hardaway and Air Penny fans; I'm hyped for it already. The first retro release came in 2007 along with a Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks makeup. Nike plans to release a Phoenix inspired Penny 1 along with the original Orlando colorway, and both will retail for $125.

Premiere: Nike Air Max Lebron VIII



We saw a few teaser photos just days ago, now here is the premiere of the Air Max Lebron VIII. The next chapter in the Nike Lebron saga shows to be a bit different from the Lebron VII, however it still has a few similarities. Who knows where King James will suit up next season (CLEVELAND), but we now know what he'll sport on the court. Will these be loved  by the fans, or completely rejected before the final product even hits shelves?
