A Sneakerheads Closet

Joe — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:25:01 +0000

Well known photographer/artist Romain Laurent has captured this image which im sure a lot of us can relate to. One of the complications many sneakerheads face when it comes to their sneaker obsession is the lack of room to store their sneakers. Some are lucky enough to have separate rooms which they can dedicate to their sneaker obsession but for a lot of the younger generation out they are, for now, stuck to stocking their sneakers in their bedrooms either setup somehow around the room or just piled in the closet.

Be sure to leave your comments or hit us up on Twitter to let us know how you keep track of your collection and how you keep them all in order. Thanks to TheGoodWillOut for bringing this photo to our attention.

LeBron James Signature Sneaker Collection

Joe — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:00:30 +0000

Every so often we come across pictures of some sort of crazy sneaker display setup showing off a collectors collection. Back in March we posted some pictures of an insane Air Jordan Display Case showing off all 24 Air Jordan models. We have now come across some images of a LeBron James Signature sneaker collection displayed on a custom wire frame setup. Although not the nicest of setups you defiantly have to respect the collection and how its displayed within the given space in the room. Theres also a section of the wall which has various Air Jordans and Nike releases such as my personal favs, the royal blue Foams.

A few more pictures follow after the break. Via: Kenlu

DJ AM Sneaker Collection Pictures

Joe — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:06:56 +0000

When i woke up this morning i was still in shock about how DJ was found dead early yesterday evening in his NYC apartment. I personally only had the chance to meet him once but after yucking it up for about 10-15minutes i felt like i knew DJ AM for years. Thats just the kind of guy he was, he didnt act like he had celebrity status and was a level above the “average folks”.

Late last night, in honor of his life and his serious passion for sneakers we presented you the DJ AM Sneaker Collection Video which was filmed back in 2006 for MTV News.

Today we would like to provide you with some pictures that were taken during that segment with MTV News. The video clip didnt really display to many of DJ AM’s favorite sneakers like these pictures do so click here or follow the jump to check em out.

Vacation To Florida – Will Return on April 13th

Joe — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:05:45 +0000

Sneaker Obsession will be free of updates from April 4th to April 13th. I will be taking a much need vacation with my girlfriend down to Florida for a week. Unfortunately this will be a work free vacation, which means no working on a laptop and no updates on the blog while i am away. Its painful but im sure ill survive. You also wont catch me on Twitter or any other social network site either.

Expect plenty of updates when i get back and a few new features as well. The site should even be on a new server by then as well, which will speed things back up to normal and get rid of the delays. Until then, stay safe.

Nike SB Boxes Go Blue

Joe — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:21:39 +0000

Over the years the Nike SB boxes have gone through a few color changes, originally starting with orange and now the latest being blue. The Nike SB April 2009 Releases kicked off the debut of the new boxes with all the releases being shipped in the blue packaging. This isnt the only change Nike SB has made either, as we have noticed some of the releases lately havent included the popular stuffed tongue which many people have become to love on the Nike SBs. The box could honestly make no difference to me personally, but come on Nike, dont get rid of the stuffed tongues.

Hot Chicks, Cool Kicks Presented by Playboy

Joe — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:30:47 +0000

Recently Playboy Magazine updated their online website with a new feature in the style section called ‘Hot Chicks, Cool Kicks’. The name of this feature pretty much speaks for itself. Playboy picked up a couple of sneakers from Supra, Nike, Adidas, Alife, Reebok, and the Hundreds and had Playboy Playmate Irina Voronina, who is also Miss January 2001, model the sneakers in simply lingerie. It would be nice to see Playboy turn this into a monthly feature in their magazine, using their gorgeous models to show off a bunch of the new releases for the month. Im sure something like that could pull in a bunch of new memberships.

Please be advised that the model is not nude but regardless of that the images still may be considered NWS depending on your employer.

To check out the full pictorial which includes over 20 pictures please click her e to be directed to the feature on Playboy.

Joe — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 23:11:42 +0000

While checking out mashKULTURE i stumbled upon a post the group recently put up about this artist Will Murai. Im into art to begin with but what really caught my attention is the pictures shown above. As you can see the Increbile Hulk just bought himself a fresh new pair of Nike Dunks in white and green and is seen tossing the box to the side. Besides for the work being top notch and i was digging the design cause of concept which includes the use of Dunks.

Theres a lot of other cool non sneaker releated designs on Will Mura’s site so if your into artwork make sure you check it out.

Michael Jordan Motorsports Trailer Gets A Makeover

Joe — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:37:42 +0000

The official trailer for the Michael Jordan Motorsports team has gotten a fresh new paint job to give it a brand new look this year. To match the design on the new bikes and helmets, as well as the Air Jordan VI Motorsports, Michael Jordan Motorsports added a big thick strip of the signature Air Jordan cement pattern in white/black.

Thanks to the crew at FatBoyKickz, who saw the trailer on the road in Chicago, we have some pictures of the new design to show you. The trailer as well as the truck itself got the cement pattern addition which literally wraps around the whole black truck from front to back. If you happen to ever be in the area where the Michael Jordan Motorsports is scheduled to race make sure you stop by the event to check out the trailer for yourself and maybe even get a chance to meet the man himself.
