Carmines Return

I know that I am very late with this but one of the most hyped up sneakers made its return as a retro in the Countdown Pack a couple of weeks ago and had heads camped out and crashing servers on eastbay.com, footlocker.com, finishline.com and nike.com trying to get their pairs. These literally flew off the shelves and some sites even managed to get restocks which sold out just as fast as the general release. Now I know everybody knows what they look like but here is a pic of my personal pair from the pack, I absolutely love this shoe:

Nike x DJ Clark Kent 112 Pack

Interesting collaboration between the good folks at Nike and AF1/Sneaker connoisseur DJ Clark Kent. Nike teamed up with Kent to design three different models: The Trainer 1, the Airmax 1 and the Air Force 1. These sneakers feature 3M, Neon and the classic elephant print material commonly used in Jordan's. These were given away earlier today at Vinnie's Styles in Brooklyn, NY but they will release in July. These are sure to fly off shelves when they release this July especially seeing as how the recent collab with Bobbito Garcia aka Kool Bob Love's tremendous success.

Brand Shout: Temple Effectives

Got some goodies in from an up and coming streetwear brand Temple Effectives. They have some really nice stuff in there current collection. Here is a little preview:

Nike Dunk Low Premium SB

These just came in a few hours ago from skateparkoftampa.com along with some extra goodies (stickers, magazine & dvd). These dunks, dubbed as the "Brown Ale's" (named after famous England brew - New Castle Brown Ale Beer; colorway inspired) dropped officially this Sunday, June 1st. The official colorway for these is Gold/Atlantic Blue and they retail for roughly $100 and have been selling for upwards of $120 on some sites even though box price is $90.

Jordan Olympic 6

These have been catching alot of hate recently. Dubbed as the "Gay Prides" due to the interesting color combination. The Jordan Brand has been doing lot's of "interesting" things lately (Spi'zikes, CDPs, iD's, crazy colorways, etc.) and the new Olympic 6's are definitely included in this category and is definitely a love/hate shoe. Some question the direction the Jordan Brand is headed...only time will tell.

Here are some shots from a pair that I recently picked up:

Nike Retro

Nike has been dropping lots of quality retro's lately; from the Penny Foam's to the Structure Triax '91 to the Agassi ATCII's. I am personally looking forward to the Pippen I & Penny II retro's slated to release....
