Atmos x X-Girl x New Balance M996M XA
Atmos and X-Girl have teamed up yet once again to collaborate together on a pair of New Balance shoes. Atmos and X-Girl are no strangers to eachother when it comes to collaborations, having teamed up just a few months ago on a New Balance h574. For their latest project together the two brands have selected the NB M996M XA as their model of choice. Just like their latest collabo Atmos and X-Girl decided to design the New Balance M996M XA using a predominantly perforated leather upper. However, instead of the black base used last time Atmos and X-Girl went with a color scheme which resembles the Dinosaur Jr SB Dunks. The entire upper is finished in metallic silver while purple accents are applied to the laces, branding on the tongue, midsole and inner lining. Theres also a pair of purple insoles which consist of the branding of all three companies in a repeating style.
Watch for the Atmos x X-Girl x New Balance M996M XA to be released on November 1st, 2009. Click here to check out more detailed photos of the sneakers.
Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Chaos’ – Detailed Photos
Yesterday we gave you a preview of the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Chaos’, an upcoming Kobe 5 model which uses the Chaos/Joker theme once used on the Kobe IV. For this version though Kobe and Nike went with much bright colors and a textured upper made to look like snakeskin. Its a little hard to notice it in these pictures since the white is blown out but the white paneling also includes the white snakeskin like texture. What really grabs my attention to the sneakers, besides for the accents of bright neon green is the color changing panels on the upper and tongue tag which go from blue to purple depending on how your looking at it.
There is still no official release date for the Chaos Kobe V or any Nike Zoom Kobe V for that matter. However, thanks to an early release at MarqueeSole we have been blessed with some detailed photos of the sneakers. Click here now to check out the rest of the pictures.
Puma Halloween Pack
As kids prepare weeks in advance for Halloween footwear companies spend the time releasing Halloween themed sneakers which is sort of like a treat for us older “kids” who no longer go trick or treating. Lookin to get in on the fun is Puma with their very own Halloween Pack.
The Puma Halloween Pack features two models, the Basket Boo and the Mr. Bones. The Basket Boo, which happens to be my favorite of the two, features a white leather base accented with lime green and detailing of a ghost face on the heel. The same ghost face images appears under the translucent sole. The Mr. Bones on the other hands takes a completely different approach then the simpler Basket Boo. The upper on the Mr. Bones uses a variety of materials and colors in a design which is said to be inspired by a scarecrow. This shoe uses graphics displayed below the translucent outsole as well but unfortunately we dont have a clear shot showing it.

Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Chaos’
If your still in need of a Kobe V fix, after already previewing the Nike Zoom Kobe V – White/Purple and the Nike Zoom Kobe V – Black/Varsity Maize, we have a third and final preview for you today.
This time its the Chaos edition. If you recall Nike and Kobe released the Zoom Kobe IV in a colorway dubbed ‘Chaos’ which carried a color design inspired by the Joker. It looks as if the theme will return for another run with a little bit of a make-over this time. The colors are much bolder this time around, standing out a lot more then the the Chaos Kobe IV, and the sneakers also feature some interesting textures on the upper. From what it looks like the textured upper is made to look like snakeskin with it being applied to the entire upper besides for the heel section. The speckle pattern on the mid-sole is red which i would imagine is done to resemble blood splatter and the outsole and Nike Swoosh consist of a loud neon green.
No official release date has been made available at this time. Click here to check out more pictures and stay tuned for further details. Via: Fatboykicks
Nike Zoom Kobe V – Black/Varsity Maize
We just showed you a catalog scan of the Nike Zoom Kobe V – White/Purple and now we bring you a catalog scan of a Black/Varsity Maize Zoom Kobe V. The catolog scan defiantly doesnt do the sneakers any justice but atleast it gives us a general idea of whats coming our way. Just like the white/purple version we saw and some of the other Zoom Kobe V colorways we’ve seen this black/varsity maize colorway is a recycled colorup used on previous Kobe models.
When official release dates are announced for any of the Nike Zoom Kobe V models we will be sure to keep you informed. For now sign up for our newsletter to receive the latest updates.
