Puma First Round are added to the MBBQ Menu
















The Puma Mongolian BBQ (whoa!!! what a mouthful ) is probably the most in depth shoe creator on the Internet besides Nike Id . The MBBQ has a wide array of materials to use and the silhouette of the First Round creates almost an endless amount of possible shoes. The great part about it is that all these possibilities for $110 dollars .

Air Jordan Fusion 6 White/Infrared








I'm not really big fan of fusions personally , but these are an exception. There was an earlier sample that caught a lot of flack for two reasons . One for being undetailed and two for "desecrating" the Jordan" legacy ", but this recent sample may hush the critics with its attention to detail of the preforated holes on the upper and retaining a remarkable amount out of the Jordan 6 silhouette's. The shoe features a white leather upper black accents on the heel tab , Jordan 6 tongue ,an infrared mid sole, and the visible air bubble the shoe is very respectful homage to the Jordan 6 [ even though certain purist might say otherwise ]. All it needs is the clear sole and the shoe is a perfect blend. The release date is set at January 31,2009.

Nike Air Force 180 Killah Bee




The Air 180's are probaly one of the most forgotten Nike shoes of current time . Worn on the feet of Sir Charles during the olympics these shoes wewere given instant grail status and when they retroed in 05 they were released in og colorways and regular ones. And for all those who missed out on the rage these became a slept on classic for the past three years .




Now for all those like myself who have been searching but to no avail here are the upcoming Killah Bees. This colorway reminds me of the Wu Tang Dunks from way back. That puts these at must cop status if you are Wu and Nike head like myself . So stay tuned for updates

Best Moment of the Summer :The Ye Also Draws











Ever Since the Air Yeezy were created for Kanye everyone wanted to know how were they born . Did Bruce or Tink have any say in this ? Why are they so hightop? So for all you who were looking for the desginer look no further because Ye created these shoes himself I know its startling but look at them every shoe that he has been spotted in was put together into one amalgamtion of sneaker awesomeness. The shoes were in conception since December 11, 2006.
After Af1 One Night Only he sat down with Nike Ceo Mark Parker and drew the first sketches. It became official Ye has transcended from pop star to Icon . He succeded in being the only rapper and nonathlete in the history of Nike to receive his own shoe not just a colorway but his very own shoe model.




Nike Vintage Vandal Hits the States






After almost seven months on the International scene . The Nike Vandals return home this fall . Where they were notorious for being the unoffical sneaker of taggers they were infamous because the paint dripped into the shoe and was absorbed instead of staining them. Currently its unknown if these three colorways will ship to regular nike accounts but there is a chance of it due to the previous nike vintage running models being in Finishline and Urbanoutfitters. So cross your fingers because these might hit as a quickstrike.

NIke Air Flight Lite Black Purple

kic


Nike continues its plan of bringing back the heat of the 90's with arguably one of Scottie's best pairs the Air Flight Lite 's which you probaly saw him wear these in the in low top form. . What really makes these really significant is that he wore this model in low top for his first championship alongside Micheal in his Carmines which have graduated to o.g status over the past seventeen years . True to form they are very similar to the Sixes[ Peep the clear sole on these ] just like how older nike's are similar to early Jordan releases. Unlike most retroed shoes that have new colorways that are met with mixed results don't worry these are an original colorway . These are a must cop for all fans of the Bulls and of early 90's Nike basketball shoes . They ship out some time between October/November .

Air Jordan Fusion 6




I found out these were coming out a while back and all I can say is dog the hype. Serioously I thought I was an idiot for not buying the cdp but now Mike gives me my chance at redemption in a twisted way . I know its not really an og release but damnit I think they are hot surriously. Not every tight jordan was picked up on immediately remeber those old retros of the early 90's . Well o.g colors were on shelves in Marshalls and Ross son . Especially the Nu retros. I mean really, shoes that people pass up then became the most coveted kicks. Shoes like this are the reason that people are on Nike Talk which is the second largest middleman to buying hard to find kicks.

I want to thank Jordan Brand for coming forward with the Idea of fusions which they have been making for years now from nu retro's to the Melo line JB has and always will make fusions. Peace

Nike Revarderchi


If you were from Brooklyn you remeber cats rocking these with the girbauds with the pencil pockets tucked in ya socks while breaking necks with the ill polo on or hilfiger. Man check out that spray print these are just the right pair to move thorough those fall and early winter months .These release late these year so If you really want to get something unique to your rotation [ collections are for wine and artwork not shoes] then hit these up right here. They are Butter, like butter baby . . . Not no Parkay, not no margarine,Strickly butter baby, strictly butter. Yo Im out.
