This Nike Court Force High in Grey / Metallic Silver is classy and good looking. It is sold at Size? for $130 per pair. The shoe upper has a mixture of nubuck, suede and leather. There are some metallic stitching on the tongue.
The toe box is made out of smooth leather. This is contrasted with the mudguard, which uses rough leather. The long stretch of silver shoe lace adds class to the shoe. The collar around the ankle is thick and uses a darker shade of silver. The Nike swoosh is composed of a strip of shiny, silver leather. Directly below the swoosh is a group of perforations.
The midsole is divided into 2 layers. The top layer is lighter colored while the lower is slightly darker in color. The treads on the shoe look concentrated at the toe and more spaced out at the heel.
The inner lining of the sneaker has a layer of thick mesh material. I like the shoe as the neutral tone of silver makes it look clean and classy. I think this shoe can be used in a wide variety of places and functions. The light color makes easy to use to match different colors in the wardrobe.

Lee’s submission to Sole Brother included a detailed description of his ideal shoe. The designer responded by adding kings, queens, aces and jacks to both shoes that look like they lept off blackjack tables in Las Vegas. Lee submitted a request to have the left shoe painted blue and the right shoe painted red. Sole Brother went a step further by applying these colors to the back of cards that are facing down on each shoe.

The Nike Vandal gets a little slimmer to create the Scandal - a high top sneaker for women.
This shoe comes in two colorways - black and white. These sneakers for the ladies features a satin-like upper and a medal tone Swoosh. The white shoe has a bronze Swoosh, while the black version has gold. These represent the Olympic medals.
These shoes are available right now at Caliroots. With so many shoes coming out to celebrate the Olympics, it’s nice to see some for women too. If things go as they normally do, there’s probably a silver Swoosh version out there somewhere too. Via Hypebeast.

Adidas has designed and released their EQT Runner as a part of their Remix series. The EQT Runner appears in a “Neon Pack.” This Pack has 2 EQT Runners. One Runner is in neon orange while the other is in neon yellow. This Pack is now sold at Bingo Runner. One pair sells at 18,650 Yen.
First, let’s look at the neon yellow colorway. The toe box is in black with yellow polka dots. The cap is in pink. The mudguard is yellow. The main body of the shoe is covered in these same yellow panels. In between the three stripes of Adidas, the shoe has the yellow polka on black background. The Adidas’ traditional stripes are in pink and so is the shoe lace. The heel has a panel in neon yellow. The midsole is in yellow and white, while the outsole is black.
Now, let’s look at the neon orange colorway. The toe box has the black ground with orange polka dots. The traditional Adidas stripes are in black colored panels. The midsole has 3 layers in colors. The orange is interspaced with a layer of black in between. The outsole is in orange. The shoe lace is black. I like the neon yellow colorway better than the orange one.

DJ Stizo has shown off his latest custom Nikes through his MySpace page linked here. Stizo’s trademark is building shoes based on anime, cartoons and other light fare that are enjoyable for a broad range of sneaker fans. His latest shoes are a pair of custom Nike Dunks based on the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z.
This sneaker features the main elements of Dragon Ball Z including Son Goku and the elusive Dragon Balls that he chases. DJ Stizo does a fantastic job replicating the lively animation, bright colors and complex mythology in the typical Dragon Ball Z manga. My eyes darted from the balls to the dragon being ridden by Son Goku which is a natural reaction to the lush nature of Japanese comics.
I enjoy these shoes and I am sure that they will force readers to check out Dragon Ball Z. This pop culture phenomenon won’t be dying anytime soon so DJ Stizo seems to have hit on a lasting design motif.

Ben Drury, who in 2006 teamed up with Nike to create the “Air U Breathe” air max 1, designed this air max 90 current. This Ben Drury creation is made up of an all black base, infrared swoosh, all white midsole and a black and white checkered sock liner. The regular Nike tongue tag is replaced with an oh 8 tag. These should be available soon at select Nike accounts.

The Air Jordan XV debuted in 2000 and wasnt touched again until its 2007 retro. The first colorway retroed was the OG black and red colorway from which this shoe takes after. Unlike the OG or retro this black/red colorway features red along the midsole. More red accents can also be found on the sock liner and lace hoops. These dont release until November, giving those undecided minds more than enough time to mull it over. Source: sportsboy

Using Team USA’s navy, red and white colors, Nike has created another pack of Olympic based shoes. This pack includes three models - the Blazer, Rejuven8 and Delta Force.
These shoes are very simple and good for those looking to steer away from loud colors. I really like the use of glossy patent leather in the Delta Force. These shoes are expected to be relased this Friday, August 8th to celebrate the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Friday will be a great day for sneakerheads with dozens of different Olympic-inpired shoes being released. Via Sneaker Files.

These shoes use a waterproof fabric that was utilized in World War II for flying suits. On the tongue tag, you will find a plane logo. They combine this unique material, along with superior leather, sueded pigskin, a mesh tongue and Ventile smart fabric to create this pack of M670’s.
These sneakers come in two colorways - black/yellow/red and grey/yellow/black. The black version is more bold, while the grey is much more subtle. These shoes are being released late in August and limited to just 150 pairs. They will be priced at 74.95 GBP at the Hanon-shop. Via Hypebeast.

This sneaker from Sam Flores Adidas Originals and Upper Playground will be released on Thursday, August 7. This is the first hi-top shoe in the collection of their series. The artists who contributed efforts in this project are Aesop Rock, David Choe and Herbert Baglione.
The stocks for this sneaker number to only 500 pairs for the entire world. They are sold at Upper Playground and some UP retail stores.
Sam Flores originated from Mexico. He migrated to the West Coast of US 15 years ago. He became a good artist in fine art and product design. He applied his skills to shoe designing. Flores’ art has a futuristic perspective that is identified and shared by many people. Fans like his art because it appeals to them.
Sam Flores talked about his design for this sneaker. He said that his objective was to make a colorful sneaker for warm weather. He chose neutral colors to win the approval of male and female customers. He said that those colors could take in some dust and still look good. In short, the maintenance was low.
Sam has worked with Upper Playground in other projects too. He will be working on vinyl figures for Upper Playground’s tenth anniversary celebrations.
This is a good looking shoe and I definitely would like to own a pair.
