10.Deep x Reebok Night Sky Mid – Release Date

Joe — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:48:47 +0000

Earlier this month, we saw the 10.Deep x Reebok Night Sky Mid start to surface at retailers overseas, which left us to wonder when they’d be making their way to the States. Today, we wonder no more as 10.Deep has announced an official release date.

The 10.Deep x Reebok Night Sky Mid features a soft suede upper in brown with blue ripstop nylon on the toe-box and collar. Support comes in the form of a black and grey speckled die-cut EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning and a high-abrasion rubber outsole for strength and durability. The Reebok branding on the heel and midsection are both blacked out while 10.Deep’s signature markings appear on the tongue in white. Included with the boots are two sets of laces, one in red/black and the other in blue/black. Apparently, the collaboration has been in the works for well over 2 years.

Produced in limited numbers, the 10.Deep x Reebok Night Sky Mid is scheduled to release through select retailers worldwide on Friday, April 29th. There will also be a few pairs available through 10.Deep’s webstore beginning at 12 Noon (EST).

atmos x New Balance H574J

Joe — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 18:01:49 +0000

Japanese retailer atmos just can’t get enough of their New Balance’s. The shop has collaborated with New Balance on a slew of different models over the years, including the 574, 576, 850 and 996 silhouettes. They even got down on a collaborative H574J back in 2009, but women’s fashion label X-Girl joined them on that one. This time they go at it alone, giving the H574J hiker their own unique flavor. The boots are built mostly from a smooth black leather that’s covered in white polka dots. Perforated detailing is added to the toe-box and around the collar – sans the dots. If the dots aren’t eye catching enough, accents of teal are applied to the lining, the trim that wraps around the heel and on the underlay of the “N” logo. A release is scheduled for sometime early in February exclusively through atmos.

Clarks aged-old crepe sole wraps things up. The shoes were on display at the recent Bread & Butter tradeshow and have not been given an official release date at this time, so stay tuned for further details. Via: Provider

Nike ACG Air Max Bakin Posite Boot “Cranberry”

Joe — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 17:35:47 +0000

After previewing the Nike ACG Air Max Bakin Posite in two upcoming colorways, we have now learned that one of them has started to arrive at retailers. Much like Jordan Brand’s winterized model’s, such as the Jordan Winterized 6 Rings, the Nike ACG Air Max Bakin Posite takes a court-ready sneaker and turns it into a winter-ready boot. The shape of the silhouette and it’s styling are heavily inspired by that of the Nike Air Bakin, which was endorsed by Tim Hardaway back in the 90′s. A Foamposite shell covers the base of the upper and a rugged, Air-infused ACG platform rests beneath it. The Cranberry colorway of the Nike ACG Air Max Bakin Posite has been the first pair to arrive at retailers, including New York based boutique Extra Butter.

Joe — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 04:29:10 +0000

Having previewed the collection in it’s entirety when the brand did an interview with Italian blog a few weeks ago, we now have a closer look at one of the models in the forthcoming Dickies Footwear collection. Known as the Mason, the shoe’s are considered to be the “perfect hybrid between a sneaker and a workboot“, according to Kenneth Kolsteren, the Managing Director at Craftwork which recently obtained the license to design and produce Dickies Footwear. The timeless look of the streetwise workboot is met with 4 classy color options all constructed from premium leathers, with slim, rugged soles providing style as well as function. Don’t let the appearance of the Mason fool you either, while they may look like a heavy boot they’re said to be lighter than a pair of Crocs thanks to the innovative, super lightweight leather used to coat their uppers.

Unless you happen to be living the island life or in some of the warmer parts of the US, before you know it we’ll be enduring a cold, snowy winter. As sneaker enthusiasts, it’s a time a year when we have to say goodbye to most of our nicer sneakers which we wouldn’t dare put through the winter elements and break out our beaters and boots. To help you beat the winters while ensuring you still have a level of freshness, DC Life debuts a new addition to their lineup with the introduction of the Lieutenant WR, a rugged yet stylish boot inspired by some of their previous models. The upper, constructed from a combination of black waxed leather and military-grade nylon, displays a heavy influence to the highly popular DC Admiral with a few modifications made to make it winter appropriate. On the bottom end of the Lieutenant WR you’ll notice the sole of the brand’s Versatile Hi, all included with the air-bubble cushioning and beefed up to provide plenty of traction.

If you thought you were appalled by some of Jordan Brand‘s hybrid designs in the past, take a look at this kids boot. Using the Jordan Flight 9 as a platform, Jordan Brand adds 6 inches to the silhouette to create what may be the most outlandish design we’ve ever seen from the Flight Club. Constructed from warm, heavy materials perfect for the winter season, this particular version of the Jordan Flight 9 6 Inch Kids Boot features a color palette of Velvet Brown/Daybreak-Ink-Sail. To ensure the kids are able to keep their balance during slippery conditions, the outsole has been modified to incorporate a ridged traction pattern.

If you dare, find them now at select Jordan Brand distributors for $95, including Finish Line.

Aside from working out collaborations this year with Converse, Supreme and Red Wing, America’s oldest woolen company, Woolrich, also got together with Timberland for a co-branded project. Taking the Timberland’s 6-Inch Boot and Roll-Top Boot in black and wheat colored versions, Woolrich lined the interior of the boots with plaid wool. A lumberjack-like black and red plaid pattern appears on the wheat colored 6-Inch and Roll-Top, while black, blue, and white blend together for the plaid lining on the black boots. There’s also a specially designed hang-tag covered in the same color plaid used for each of the boots, marked with Woolrich’s branding.

The Roll-Top’s are expected to be releasing sometime this month and the 6-Inch’s are slated for a release next month in October. Follow the jump for a few larger photos. Via: unbar
