Unfortunately, things have turned south in many respects, as companies are blatantly […]

Oh Goody…Time For A Windbreaker! / May 8, 2008 / 9:24 am

Not Me
As the temperature steadily rises in the Midwest, the springtime wind has remained a prevalent force against my jumper. Enter the k1x “We Fly High” Stormbreaker.

The Venerable McFlys
See any similarities?

Germany Olympic Player Exclusive Model

Yo! Didn’t Know It Was ‘76… / May 6, 2008 / 9:42 am

A few months ago, I mentioned Cons would be taking a more true-to-form approach with their upcoming retros. To be completely honest, I’m not huge on many of the refabricated gaudy collaborations of today, but take a look at these Pro Leathers. The outsole, upper quality and lacing all look like someone could’ve copped these […]

A Sneak Peek… / May 5, 2008 / 9:30 am

Juan Carlos Navarro and Nike broke out these Nike Hyperdunks in white/gold at the Spanish Olympic Basketball presentation last week.

Looking forward […]
