Nike Penny Foamposite 1 "Kryptonate" PS

This is a PhotoShop rendering that I did with the Eggplant Penny Foamposite. I left the right shoe the same to show the difference. I have the lime green fading towards the toe into bright neon yellow as a resemblance to the Nike Foamposite Lite with the Kryptonate colorway. Enjoy

Nike Air Max Lebron VII P.S



These are the special playoff signature Air Max Lebron VII. These are absolutely sick. Unlike the original version these sports Air Zoom technology and also has subtle changes through out the upper. On the medial heel, where you would normally see an LBJ23 logo, the Lion logo appears instead. The liner is quilted, as is the panel that wraps over the collar. On the heel tab, a special 7PS logo has been designed and used, as well. Red appears on the mesh tongue, Flywire thread and also patent leather on the tip of the tongue.

The Air Jordan Retro 1 KO



This is the first retro ever for the Air Jordan 1 KO. These were released back in 1985. This was a subset to the Original Air Jordan 1 with a canvas treatment through out the shoe. The retro Features the OG White, Red, and Black colorway on a canvas and leather upper like the original. A first for the Brand Jordan, the AJKO features the vintage treatment with a slightly yellowed upper, a scuffed midsole, and a scuffed outsole. The AJKO retro is set to release later this Summer. In my opinion if JB plans to keep the vintage detail on the shoe it will be a terrible idea to make this shoe a general release. With the market for retros growing smaller and smaller each year the main buyers being between the ages of 20-late 30's maybe are only going to know what this shoe was. The true sneaker heads who was around when MJ was playing with Chicago and actually wanted the shoes because of how MJ played the game will want the AJKO. No one is going to want to pay for a shoe that looks like someone played in them 25 years ago. Unless you are part of that select group like I am that knows what the shoe represents.

Air Max Lebron VII "Kentucky" PE




I was watching the UK game on Saturday and I Just knew that John Wall and some other players were rocking the "Kentucky" PE Air Max Lebron VII's. These are absolutely sick. It coincides perfectly with the Kentucky basketball jerseys to say the least. The base is primarily black with a Kentucky blue patent leather stip surrounding the entire upper. The white swoosh outlined in blue and the white flywire design give this shoe a nice contrasting color scheme. I have been anticipating these ever since I first heard they were a rumor. Being a University of Kentucky fan and also living in Northern Kentucky. If these release, I really hope I can get my hands on a pair a lot easier than some. Enjoy the pics.

"Cool Grey" Air Jordan 11 Confirmed?

These were first released back in March of 2001. I believe this was the first Retro+ color-way to be released. I was in 9th grade when these released. I was at the Mall at about 8 a.m and I was about 3 hrs too late. Now I really can not wait to get a pair. It is confirmed that the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Cool Grey” will officially return during the holiday season of 2010. Specifically, it is scheduled to hit retailers some time in November. Hope everything falls into place.

Air Jordan Alpha 1






I just picked these up a couple days ago. I absolutely love how these are put together. These are upgraded from the original version with stacked Zoom Air for a more smooth ride and complimented with a durable, breathable mesh heel collar. I switched out the red laces with black to give them a little different look besides what's seen on the shelves. The thing that I really liked about these is the insoles. The left shoe reads "THE FIRST TO BRING COLOR TO THE GAME" and the right shoe reads "THANK YOU". I do appreciate this shoe breaking the rules in the beginning to make the shoe industry what it is today. Im pretty sure all of you know the reason behind this so I'm not going to get into it so check out the youtube clip.
