Nike Sportswear Denim Air Force 1 Low Air Force 1s have been a part of this site since day one. It helped that Crooked's genesis coincided with the Uptown making a full-blown UK debut and that the site launched when US and co.jp exclusives were at their best. Since then, heavyweight campaigns and ID accessibility have taken some of the secret-society mystique from the shoe. After all, a shoe that barely needed to advertise, shouldn't need to make any effort. Still, when it's done right, the Air Force 1 can still eclipse the competition. A correct execution will have us forgetting any acts of shoddy build from recent releases — sometimes it's nice to pick up something that feels heavy in a lightweight era.
This Quickstrike makeup takes the shoe back to a happier time before so much sucked. It actually feels like a 2002 release in spirit. We've seen denim on Air Forces before (denim swooshes win), but these versions go all out. Feeling like a Bespoke in looks and quality, the copper stitch swoosh and contrast is a no brainer that's smartly executed, the off-white midsole and gum sole is excellent, the subtle eyelet switch to brass at the top complements the denim upper with a little nod to the classic button fly too.
We’re loving this shoe. If we had to make any criticism, it would be towards the tongue and heel leather patch branding (which actually looks like it was branded), with that western-style font being inferior to the usual imagery. In contrast, the footbed efforts are particularly nice. A selvedge heel would have been a perfect finisher, but left plain it’s still effective.
The true challenge is what to wear with it. Do you go all-out, and accessorise a double-denim Canadian tux look with these shoes? Can you go triple-denim? Quadruple denim? Maybe you can top an ensemble off with a denim hat. It’s challenging. Perhaps chinos are the solution here, because chunky, navy cotton sneakers with short-shorts might be even harder to execute. Still, when it comes to jeans on jean fabric, at least you don’t have to worry about denim bleed. These are our kind of sneakers. Are Nike Sportswear trying to instigate another golden age of Air Force 1s? We hope so.
These arrive in the Crooked store, and they’re apparently set for release next Wednesday (the 25th of May) in limited numbers. Strange day for a sneaker release, but it’s a shoe that seems to be amassing a great deal of interest.

All systems are go. We've got the Kobe VI System and now we get the Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe set, offering a semi-bespoke basketball experience. We genuinely don't know how to feel about these interchangeable releases — the Choose Your Own Adventure books of the sports footwear world - and what they bring to the table. In terms of performance, there's no negative in offering the very best, but it's fiddly...very fiddly. The Jordan XX1's switchable heel pods were just the beginning, with the excellent Jordan 2011's drop-in midsoles being a logical progression. They were awkward to replace, but now we get a choice of three drop-in midsoles and two inserts offering two levels of support.
The lower option trounces the higher one in terms of complimenting the silhouette, but choice can be a good thing if you're actually looking to play in them. The overall look of the Jordan 2012 seems marinaded in the formal-footwear theme of the tux-friendly XI from all those years ago — this instalment offers a brogue effect instead, with those embossed premium panels over a supportive dose of Flywire. Is the zoot suit inspiration taken from Jordan's own taste for anti-tailoring? There's been some heated debate over these in the office — why grey and green as a Jordan launch makeup? That's gives these a Jordan spinoff feeling rather than a real Jordan line entry - the All-Star Weekend editions bring out the best in this model. Wasn't that dress shoe effect in the XX3's upper too? Things change and modes of play alter, but our favourite Jordans from back in the day didn't need altering. Maybe it's just a sign of how things are these days — we've got more of a voice to determine projects and that sense of democracy influences what drops. While the big man's outfits constantly hit David Byrne levels of width, at least you can tailor the 2012 to your own needs.
That makes these a very 2012 design in a lot of ways, but we still prefer the 2011s and that vast Jumpman seems at odds with the big branding free look that Jordan shoes have maintained since 1986. The Jordan line's unique lineage never had to shout about what it was, so why make that Jumpman so big? For a shoe that offers such a sense of security in terms of support, that silhouette on the upper makes these seem a little insecure. NBA players have proven that the fancy stuff can be superfluous too by playing in a 1988 Jordan design in the year 2011. There are plenty of details worthy of note though — the midsoles have a pick of a Zoom Air heel (Fly Around) full-length Air bag (Fly Through) or a rear and forefoot blend of Air bag and Zoom (Fly Over) and they're comfort-centric once you've gone through the process of picking your combo (mid insert, Zoom and Air cocktail being our pick). That carbon plate can't have been cheap to add to the outsole either.
The Jordan 2012 packaging is heftier than MJ's distressed denims too — a portable chest of drawers holding the shell at the top, inserts second down and midsoles at the bottom is insane. Opened up, it looks like a stepladder, and you could turn it into a capsule hotel if you felt inclined. It's so lavish that it borders on parody. As ever, when it comes to the hero shoe, Jordan Brand begs no friends again. We're on the fence, just because they've been sat on the desk alongside the IV and X recently, but in the world of Jordans one man's AJVII is another man's AJXV. Each instalment reflects its era and these are undoubtedly a shoe that captures 2012's mess of social media, reference points, hype and constant communication. Better than the 2010 but not as strong as the 2011 from a beyond-the-court angle, these are in the Crooked Tongues store right now.

Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 VT Premium QS Haystack in store

http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=100000026070642
We actually covered these a few weeks back, but the images were stock ones that were pretty and all but never offered any clues as to how premium these Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 VT Quickstrikes actually are. If there had been a standard Air Max 90 in this makeup we would have become ill with excitement, but in Vac Tech form they've still got us bugging. Why? Because that silhouette isn't compromised by the nubuck application's uninterrupted flow, but the designers still knew to keep the familiar sewn-on ribbed Nike Air patched on the heel. Timberland season officially starts in the early hours of this coming Sunday when the clocks go forward, so all well-executed tributes are welcome.
Nike say "Haystack" but we say Wheat and it's one of our favourite colour and material combinations. That added white midsole is the perfect contrast to the upper and gum outsole while the brown leather lining maintains the theme inside as well as out. These drop alongside the Dunk (which is a lot better in the flesh than we anticipated) today and will be joined by the matching Air Force 1 Hi VT early next week. "Beefy" Botham promoted it and many argue its health benefits, but Wheat will always stay winning.

air Jordan XIV 'Last Shot' 2011 Retro



for more information.click following sitehttp://www.picknice.com/http://emsyou.blogspot.com/http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=100000026070642Jordan XIVs have a devoted audience on these shores, but it's not as sizeable as the IIIs or impending XIs. But those who do appreciate this Air Jordan design are loyal to this shoe. Whether this mid-cut shoe with metallic ventilation is to your tastes or not, you can't deny that Mr. Hatfield did a far better job of channeling luxury car genetics into a shoe better than the monstrosities that real collaborations with car brands create (think Audi, adi and Kobe) when he used a Ferrari as inspiration for the fourteenth Jordan shoe. The model that ushered in the Jordan Brand as a Nike spinoff line, as worn in this colourway to win an NBA championship with a last minute shot (hence the "Last Shot" nickname) is a shoe like no other, taking some inspiration from its predecessor, but adding some unique touches that made it a performance favourite in the quest for support, responsiveness and lightness.
We last saw this black and red colourway in 2005, when it was released for the first time since 1999 (the Last Shot was — appropriately — one of the last Jordan original XIV colourway releases), but we've always found the XIV reissues to be a reliable facsimile of the originals. The lowkey flamboyance in the midsole, nubuck and fancy logo are all on point. There's a little bit more gloss to that leather compared to the '05s, but it looks deeply similar. The only key point of difference to keep the collectors hunting Instagram props happy is that grey 'XIV' inside the tongue rather than red, but that's strictly for the folk that know. These Air Jodan XIVs go on sale this Saturday. Those that know will be all over them while the rest of you lie in wait for the Concords to drop...

LeBron in London

Just as the South Beach edition of the 8 took us a little while to climatise too, the shinier take on a militaristic combo of green and orange with some subtle speckles could be the shoe that converts non-believers to the cause. We're not trying to draw up heretic comparisons like Scottie Pippen, but just as the Grapes appeared for MJ's 2006 NikeTown appearance, this drop seemed to come out of nowhere. We can't testify as to whether they're still in stock or whether they vanished like the Miami Nights Lows a few months back, but if you're interested we suggest acting fast. House of Hoops gets that hype — it's frequently forgotten in favour of other stores that shout louder online despite delivering if you're a fiend for some recent retros you might have written off as US-only. Plus they have Foams on the shelves while our Yankee brethren are sleeping on Harlem streets to grab a pair.
Yesterday, it was a surprise appearance at the London School of Basketball in Crystal Palace, before LeBron left with his crew for a Rihanna concert. We've got some more content on the way, including a brief chat with the man himself about matters of footwear, plus a lengthy conversation with Nike Basketball designer Jason Petrie about the genesis of the shoe.

The Michael J Fox Foundation For Parkinsons Research - Nike Mag 2011The Nike Mag 2011s were certainly a huge celebrity draw, and the sneakerheads in that category definitely put up the dollars to guarantee themselves their Nike Mags. Kid Cudi claimed to have won four (yes, four) pairs of the Nike Mag 2011, and he recently broke out pair numero uno at a party thrown by Complex and Bacardi, during which he was the guest of honor (he graced the cover of Complex’s The Music Issue). Cudi was spotted with Mags on stage, lounging around, enjoying his drinks, and partying it up with his How To Make It In America co-stars, so check out the Mags in on-feet action below and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Mag 2011 sightings!
