The strap is back!! Fans of the SB Dunk Mid who were upset to see the ankle strap removed from the model back in 2010 will be happy to hear that you’re complaints have been heard and that Nike SB is planning to reintroduce the strap later this year. Shown below is a photo of an upcoming SB Dunk Mid in a mixture of blue suede and leather that’s scheduled to release sometime during the fall season, and as you can see, the ankle strap is in tack to provide that much-needed extra ankle support for skateboarding.

Making headlines once again, Mache presents the LeBron 9 “South Beach”. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the famed South Beach color palette implemented on LeBron’s current signature model, but it’s one of the cleanest pairs yet.

Joe — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:31:42 +0000

Nike Sportswear’s “Year of the Dragon” collection will include dragon-themed releases for both men and children. In the kids department, Nike uses the Dunk Low to honor the Chinese New Year. The sneakers, predominately comprised of black leather with gold accenting the Swoosh and heel tag, feature a scaly texture reminiscent of a dragon’s skin on the toe, midfoot and heel sections. Furthermore, the year 2012 appears on the heel tags in red, which goes well with a red outsole, and a dragon illustration adds a special touch to the insoles. The sneakers are beginning to arrive at overseas retailers as we speak. A US release hasn’t been confirmed at this time.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Crown Royal” – Spring 2012

Joe — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:07:19 +0000

One might say that the boys over at Nike SB have somewhat of a drinking problem, having previously released sneakers inspired by Heineken, Cerveza Tecate, Jagermeister, Newcastle Brown Ale and Mickey’s Malt Liquor. If that’s not enough to prove an intervention is called for, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Crown Royal” is sure to do so. Scheduled to release sometime next spring, the sneakers, constructed mainly of suede with leather detailing on the Swoosh and heel tab, incorporate a purple and gold colorway that’s inspired by the signature colors of the Canadian whiskey company. Early speculation puts the sneakers in store by April 2012. We’ll keep you posted on further details between now and then.

New colorways of the Nike Air Max LTD are few and far between. It’s not all too often we see the casual running shoe in a new color palette, but when we do, it’s usually something to talk about, which is exactly the case with this brand-new colorway arriving at retailers now. Sporting a black leather and nubuck base, the sneakers feature a dark grey patent leather Swoosh with additional hints of grey on the midsole and the tongue and heel tags. Neo Turquoise highlights the lettering, eyelets and the Air unit, providing bold contrast. You can get your hands on this refreshing Air Max LTD at Nike distributors including Finish Line.
