Show Us Your Beaters!!
“What kicks are you rocking today” is the most popular question among sneakerheads over the web today. We all take an interest in what one another is wearing and usually take pride in showing off the crisp kicks we have decided to rock out in for the day.
Along with those crispy clean kicks we want to see those beaters too. And i dont mean those shoes which some people call beaters which are still in mint condition, ya know the ones, a pair of average sneakers which you wear on random nights out when you dont wanna wear a pair of fresh Jays or whatever it may be. I mean your real beaters, the kicks which are on the verge of busting at the seams, or have already busted at the seams.
I for one go hard in all my sneakers, no matter what they be or how limited they are. Like the Jones Beach Air Force 1’s i have on today. They may still be crispy clean now but sooner or later these puppies will be hurting and begin to be laid to rest.
My most beat up sneakers have to be these classic Air Force 1 Jewels, or possibly a pair of Trainer SC’s which i will get to some other time. The AF1 Jewels are some of my favorite sneakers and day after day im always wishing for Nike to bring em back and mass produce them again. What i love about my beaters is that they all have stories to tell. Whether they be stories about balling on the court, running from the cops during my youth, getting smashed at keg parties in the middle of the woods during rain nights, or simply just messin around and having fun. Just look at these filthy things. The support in the shoe is shot and they are scuffed up to no need, even the red is scuffed off a lot of the Swoosh. Look at the yellow mid-sole too, needless to say these bad boys have been around for quite some time. Jason Markk or the JGoods Restoration Kit cant even do these things justice. You can slide right into these like you can slide right into a loose…Actually, let me finish that sentence right there since this is a kid friendly site.
Click here to check out a few pictures of just how beat these AF1’s are and hit us up on Twitter with some shots of the most beat up sneakers you have in your collection. Lets see how hard you have gone in some of your sneakers and whether or not you have kept them or trashed them.

Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Copper’ – Detailed Photos
Thanks to MarqueeSole we have obtained a few more detailed images of the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Copper’ we showed you last week. Due to the comments we have been seeing about the Copper Foamposite we believe they will defiantly be giving the Eggplant Foamposites a run for their money in terms of popularity. In my opinion though, the Royal Blue Foams are at the top of the list for me, followed by the Eggplants, with the Copper in a closer third.
There is still no official release date available at this time, however they are expected to hit retailers sometime within the first quarter of 201o. When further details surface we will be sure to let you know. Until then click here to check out more detailed photos of the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Copper’ and if you wear a size 8.5 and can swing $400 hit up MarqueeSole now to get the only size they have available.
Air Jordan 2010 – Official Images
A lot of you have hit us up asking why we have yet to post any information up regarding the Air Jordan 2010. As we told some of you and will now tell all of you. Last week Jordan Brand hosted the Air Jordan Silver Anniversary 2010 Media Event in Miami, Florida. Knowing this we knew their would soon be some detailed images of the actual sneakers taken from somebody who saw them first hand during the event. Now thanks to KATC we can present to you just that, a first hand look at the actual sneakers and plenty of details about the shoes.
The Air Jordan 2010 was designed in joint project with Tinker Hatfield, Mark Smith and Michael Jordan himself. “It all started with Jordan telling Tinker how he used to look through his opponent while showing his opponent only portions of his game at strategic points,” reports KATC. “He asked Tinker if the Air Jordan 2010 could somehow show portions of his game, from this, the Transprency was born.”
The transparency is the piece on the side of the Air Jordan 2010 which is probably the most recognizable design element within the shoe itself, one which could make or break the shoes for some Jordan fans out there. The clear window is made from TPU which not only adds transparency to the upper but also helps to lighten the shoes up a bit.
KATC also reports, “The other main technological advancement is the vamp (toebox). The vamp is an actual overlay on top of the toebox. The overlay allows for the foot to flex underneath it. The mechanism allows for maximum supportive flexibility.” Theres also the fact the 2010 sports a full length Nike Zoom Air and a double stacked Zoom Air in the heel unit which is sure to provide plenty of comfort on impact.
This particular colorway of the Air Jordan 2010 features a white/red/black color scheme made up from perforated white leather, black textured leather and black nubuck. A red “23″ is stitched onto the tongue and with Jordan spelled out in debossed print down the black lace panels. The midsole consists of a combo of white and red with black on the outsole.
The Air Jordan 2010 will officially be releasing at Jordan Brand retailer on February 13th, 2010 for a price of $170. Click here now to check out plenty of detailed photos of the Air Jordan 2010. We have also included the video of Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith talking about the Air Jordan 2010 for all those who may not have seen it yet.
adidas TS Commander LT ‘Superman’
When Dwight Howard took on Nate Robinson in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest earlier this year it pretty much turned into a Superhero battle. Dwight brought out the Superman in him with by wearing a Superman cape and his special edition adidas TS Bounce Commander ‘Superman’ sneakers. Nate responded by breaking out the Nike Foamposite Lite ‘Kryptonate’, a nod to kryptonite, Superman’s quickness, which proved to be enough to defeat the Man in Steel as Nate ended up taking home the Slam Dunk Contest trophy by the end of the night.
It’s not time for the Slam Dunk festivities just yet but as it appears adidas has created Dwight Howard another pair of Superman themed sneakers, this time on adidas TS Commander LT, Dwight’s latest signature sneaker. Throughout the white leather base there are various laser etched Superman graphics on the toe and lateral side of the upper with Superman’s “S” logo included on the heel in its signature red/yellow color scheme. Both insoles of the sneakers have an enlarged Superman The Man Of Steel logo in black and white with a smaller Superman “S” logo in red/yellow.
At this time it is unclear on whether or not these sneakers will be making a release to the general public. Until further details arise click here or follow the jump to check out a few more pictures. Via: TSG
