Louis Vuitton Sunlight
I know a lot of people will argue what im about to say, but in my opinion, when it comes to the high fashion sneaker market, Louis Vuitton is defiantly running the game, besides for when they rip off New Balance. That’s not cool.
If i had to choice between a pair of Gucci sneakers and a pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers i would defiantly have to give it up to LV. Their styles are always so stuble but yet so elegant, such as the Louis Vuitton Sunlight shown here, perfect for anybody looking to get their grown man on. That is if you have somewhat deep pockets.
To debut the Sunlight Louis Vuitton released two colorways, brown/red and grey/red. Both of the shoes feature mixed patchwork with an upper constructed from suede, mesh and leather. Across the top of the tongue is a somewhat large strap, something which i could personally do without but yet something which really doesnt kill the sneakers for me either.
The sneakers may not be a pair of the Louis Vuitton Dons designed by Kanye West but im sure they will be quite the seller among the Louis consumers out there. Via: HighSnobiety

For their edition of the Reebok Pump UNDFTD put together a pair which they have dubbed “Rain Check” in honor of the navy blue waterproof nylon base used throughout the upper.

Hanging from the sneakers is a Pump keychain with both Reebok and UNDFTD branding along with the name of the Pumps.

Nike Blazer Mid (GS) ‘Rubiks Cube’ @ Finishline
Earlier today the Nike Blazer Mid ‘Rubik’s Cube’ was mentioned during a conversation and it sort of sparked a little debate on whether or not the sneakers were ever actually released. According to what we reported at the time the Blazers, which were produced just for kids, was expected to hit retailers shortly after our post. However, a few of the people i was having lunch, the ones who sparked this conversation, the Rubiks Cube Blazer was never released.
Seeing as how we like to bust each others balls whenever we are able to prove one another wrong about something we not only wanted to personally rub it their face, but we also wanted to post it up here and let all our younger readers know, who may have also not be aware of the fact these sneakers were released, that you can now get them at Finishline in kids sizes 3.5 – 7. Retail price is $65 but if you use coupon code HOLIDAY1060 during checkout you can save yourself $10.
Supra Skytop II – Gold/Black Patent
Supra Footwear is currently gearing up and getting ready to launch their Supra Skytop II World Tour, a tour which will a stop at 10 exclusive boutiques throwing a little release party at each stop and drop a limited number of the Supra Skytop II ‘Gradient’. Due to their limited availability and the fact each pair will be indivually numbered the Gradient Skytop II is sure to be a popular seller among Supra fans, collectors and resellers.
These Gold Supra Skytop II’s though may just have enough of what it takes to become a much hotter item the Gradient model. The upper sports a metallic gold base which is accented by black patent leather and a white vulcanized sole unit. As you all should have come to know by now Supra has a habit of coming through with a few gold versions of some of their staple models, so its actually no surprise to see a gold Skytop II. Majority, if not all of these gold shoes produced by Supra have also been released around the Holiday season, so it may be safe to say we can expect these later this year, possibly alongside the Gold Supra TK Society which for some reason or another magically vanished for the Supra website with no response as to why. The sneakers are a size 7.5 and have MUSKA 002 debossed across the tongue, and details like this lead us to believe this is not a pair of sample and rather a pair of sneaker part of an upcoming limited release.
When further details involving a release are confirmed we will be sure to keep you posted. For now click here to check out more detailed photos of the sneakers. Via: SupraTalk
