Nike Hyperdunk Low – Official Pictures
Back in June we showed you the Nike Hyperdunk Low ‘McFly’ in the form of a catalog scan and just a few months after that in September we followed up with some more catalog scans of the Hyperdunk Low in various colorways.
Finally we can now present you with some images of the actual sneakers in the flesh giving you a better feel of what the sneakers look like compared to the 2D catalog images. The pair shown here features a white, black and red color scheme with a speckle design added to the midsole, a feature we have seen on every Hyperdunk Low preview thus far. Something about the sneakers which strikes me as odd is the fact that the lateral part of the upper uses Nike’s signature Flywire Technology while the inner side of the upper does not and opts to use perforated paneling instead. In my personal opinion it just doesnt seem to flow well. To each their own though.

Manny Pacquiao x Nike Trainer 1 – White/Red/Blue – A Closer Look
Yesterday we showed you a new upcoming colorway of the Manny Pacquiao x Nike Trainer 1 in a slick lookin white/red/blue color scheme. Due to the low resolution of the image and not being able to blow it all that much without distorting it, we were unable to see the detailing that that been put into the sneakers.
Now thanks to KingCrux we can do just that thanks to some new images being provided of the sneakers. From our understanding this version of the Nike Trainer 1 has been designed in honor of Manny’s upcoming fight against Miguel Cotto on November 14th, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Manny and Miguel are both respected prize fighters in their countries, Manny from the Philippines and Miguel from Puerto Rico, and this upcoming match between the two has sparked a war between the two nations. To represent his homeland of the Philippines Manny designed his sneakers in a colorway resembling that of the Philippines flag. Finer details come into play on the heel panel and along the toe by the means of laser etched graphics.
No official release date has been announced at this moment but seeing as how the Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto match is coming up a week we would believe the release is not to far away. Stay tuned for further details and click here for another look at the shoes.

One of the many things “Pacman Knows” is how to incorporated simple yet stylish color schemes on the his editions of the Nike Trainer 1 . The Lights Out version got many people hyped up and his previous white/gold/red colorup was an instant hit among Trainer 1 fans.

Supra Skytop II – Colette Exclusive
Here we go ladies and gentlemen, pictures of something a lot of you have been waiting a very long time for, the Supra Skytop II. If you recall back in July we caught a preview of a Red Leather Supra Skytop II sample. The style remains the same, however the colorup is completely different, and a lot more appealing if you ask me. The sneakers sport a color combo of grey and black on the upper with red on the inner lining, which i happen to think looks better then sample pair we previously saw and the blurred out version Ben Baller showed us all.
This specific colorway of the Supra Skytop II will officially be releasing at Colette in France on November 21st, 2009. The sneakers will be limited to a total of 600 pairs which each pair individually numbered. Chad Mushka will also be on deck to meet, greet and sign your sneakers or whatever you want.
