Air Jordan 25th Anniversary T-Shirts
One of the biggest advantages to Jordan Brand coming about in 1997 was the fact it allowed Michael Jordan to build an empire around much more then just sneakers. Athletic apparel and sporting accessories were all eventually introduced under the Jordan Brand umbrella, as were articles of clothing such as hoodies, jackets and hats.
As many company’s do these days, the Brand started producing specially designed t-shirts to accompany certain releases, giving those who bought the sneakers the option of scooping up the perfect tee to match. With 25years of Air Jordan history and Jordan Brand being extremely excited about their 25th Anniversary Collection, they’ve put together a lineup of t-shirts to match the shoes in the lineup.
We aren’t quite sure if the t-shirts will be US bound, although we hope so, but we do know they’ll become available on March 20th at Nike Harajuku. Don’t hold out on us JB, the Air Jordan heads in the States need these!
Nike Vandal Hi – Red/White-Black
Just the other day we were mentioning how the Nike Vandal has seen a rise in popularity as of late. With both eye-catching and subtle colorways being released in the high and low top silhouette, the classic basketball sneakers have defiantly caught the attention of consumers. Not to mention it helps when new version’s keep arriving at retailers, one right after the other with hardly a pause inbetween.
In addition to the Grey/Black-Red Vandal we showed you a few days ago Nike also released this Red/White-Black colorway on the high top silhouette. Giving off an old school Chicago Bulls vibe the Vandal Hi features a leather upper in a combination of red and white with just the right touches of black around the Swoosh, on the lace eyelets and on the heel panel which holds the removable velcro strap in red and white.

DC LIFE Admiral “Maritime”
With the 7th Anniversary of the Admiral running high DC LIFE assembled a lineup of new color schemes to celebrate. To gain a little color and design inspiration the DC LIFE team went on a road trip across Western Amerciana to experience the sights and take in the colorful sunrises and sunsets which are ever so unique to the west.
Last week you got a glimpse at the DC Admiral in Violet/ Fire, one of the new additions to the collection. This week we’re celebrating the Admiral from DC’s Spring 2010 Collection in Maritime – a rich blue hue inspired by classic blue travel luggage which has served as a quintessential travel piece for many memorable trips. Just like the Violet/Fire pair for last week the Maritime version includes the “Indigenous Modern” pattern on the sublimated satin lining interior which was fabricated in collaboration with NATIONAL FOREST.
Whether you’re liking these or the pair from last week you can get both now through the DC Webstore.
Unusual G.e.N.e.S. “Stay Flippin Pennys” Tee
The highly anticipated releases in the game have been known to inspire people. From artist’s displaying their love for a certain sneaker in the form of a drawing, painting or a digital design, to streetwear brand’s who counter the releases with specially designed t-shirts to coordinate with the sneakers. The Copper Foamposites are one of those very shoes. They’ve caused numerous brands to brainstorm and work up designs in which consumers rock with their kicks, and with the Copper Foams being a sneaker which a lot of people have said is hard to match something with, it’s probably a good thing tees to match them keep popping up.
We’ve taken a look at a few designs in the past and here we have anything known as the “Stay Flippin Pennys” by Unusual G.e.N.e.S.. Available in black, and in sizes medium through 3XL at Vault, the t-shirt consists of a Mickey Mouse like hand/glove flipping pennys with the message “Stay Flipping Pennys” printed in white and copper lettering.
If you’re still looking for something to rock with your Nike Air Foamposite One Copper’s consider the “Stay Flippin Pennys” tee by Unusual G.e.N.e.S. which is once again available at Vault.
Air Jordan 1 Phat “Marine Blue”
Signature Air Jordan colorways are arguably some of the safest color schemes for Jordan Brand to go with, considering they’ve proven time after time to be top sellers on a handful of models. That’s not to say though that the new colorups Jordan Brand whips up aren’t something to talk about. Take for example this Air Jordan 1 Phat “Marine Blue”. While I’m not the biggest fan on the choice of materials, a mesh with some sort of material (plastic?) laid over certain sections, but the color option is pretty dope in my option and would go real nice with the right fit. A white Swoosh may have been nice to go along with the white mid-sole, along with a little leather and not some much mesh, but it is what it is.
The sneakers are available on eBay and at select Jordan Brand retailers in men’s sizes and as a limited release. Additional photos follow after the jump thanks to TSG.
