New Balance MT580 x MA-1 Flight Jacket

New Balance is slated to Drop this MA-1 Flight Jacket inspired MT580 in July . The MT580 is a rugged mountain walking shoe formerly only found in Japan for the past 10 years , last year it became available stateside in America. The shoe comes with an interchangeable N logo in orange and olive , a ripstop nylon upper and a boot like lace hole on the upper. Its a good summer release that if you let it set will become an excellent winter sneaker. No word yet on selected retailers expect stores that got the New Balance Clips pack to receive these.

Nike Cross Training Spring 2010 x Its Smooth like Butter

Nike is back into the swing of things in the Cross Training department with the upcoming releases of Nike Lunar Kayoss, SC Trainer 2010 , and the Trainer 1 low. The only thing I have to say is YESSSS! . Its about time we see some new models that are fit for casual wear as they are for working out. Now all we need is great athlete to endorse some of these models Cough ** Michael Vick**Cough and we have renewed mainstream interest in cross training shoes. It warms my heart to see Nike putting lots of effort into creating new sneaker models that are not basketball shoes.With the addition of flywire to the SC Trainer 2010 we won't have to worry about having to tie our laces to tight for a snug and comfortable fit while working out with the additon of a better air bubble unit.Another favorite shoe of mine the Air Trainer 1 is also getting the flywire treatment which will reduce its weight and contribute a snuggier fit and an extremely durable sole.
My question is this will the lunar foam be weak and flimsy like in the Hyperdunks and Lunar Mariah. Many people have complained that the lightness of the foam made the shoe wear out quickly after repeated strenuous wears.Hopefully this will be answered with increased amounts of it in the Lunar Kayoss. 2010 is shaping out to be very interesting year for collectors with all the diverse sneakers coming out from every company

Mystery Theather presents Air Jordan 2 KO, and the Jordan Sky High

Some say it means Knock Out, others Knock OFF. What really is the meaning behind the KO with the approaching release of the Air Jordan KO 1 light now needs to be shined on its successor the Air Jordan 2 K.O and the elusive Sky High. From the Looks of the AJ KO 2 the shoe seems to have thicker ankle padding around the collar for added support yet overall the shoe looks no different from the Air Jordan 2 we have grown to love.


Now onto a lesser known model the Nike Air Jordan Sky High. This shoe was the first attempt at how the Jumpman logo would appear on an actual pair of kicks. Consisting of the backtab of a Jordan 2 ,canvas upper , the nike blazer belly swoosh and sole, and the Jumpman. The shoe is a simple shoe to say it was made around 1987-to 1989 . Yet if it was a sample why was it put in a Nike Catalog? The shoe has also reappeared under a new name without the swoosh since it is a JB product the recently released yet forgotten Jordan Phly .

































This shoes orginial name was Fly High which is very similar to the name Sky High. So somebody at Nike and JB knows about there older unreleased sneakers and decided to rerelease it under a new name Right Right.......

AJKO vintage retro Its the only way

A friend of mine named Tokyo Mike loves the AJKO I mean dude well probably destroy all of Tokyo to pick up a wearable pair on some Godzilla type stuff. AJKO is one of if not the rarest jordan ever the shoe is a whisper like talking about the sequel to Mutant League Football, or an arcade machine with a working Primal Rage 2 in it . This shoe is that rare people. Jordan Brand decided it was gonna take a page from the Nike Vintage collection and retro the AJKO the only canvas Jordan besides the Sky High . The AJKO is similar to the Dunk with the flap upper of the Dunk , the canvas upper ,and sole of the Vandal.


No one knows for sure about the meaning of the AJKO some say its a boxing shoe some say just a test run of Air Jordan 1. The great thing about these shoes is that they are the last mystery of Jordan Brand after every shoe has been retroed this shoe and the Air jordan 2 KO are the last of the Jordan unknowns . Anyway I digresss the AJ1KOs are set to rerelease this summer so be on the lookout for these and if you live in Japan watch out for the Black guy that wears a size 11 these shoes are not worth your live ,but maybe in his eyes.

Brand of the Decade goes to BAPE

Now Before I go into detail lets establish somethings Bape changed how sneakers release, Bape changed how a store has to be ran, Bape has changed the Streetwear/Ready-To-Wear industry for the better , BAPE changed how the Big sneaker companies view the consumer.

Bape created the artifical limited release by creating his sneakers in small quantities with high price tags He made every release just as important as the one before . Before this companies checked the market to make sure the sneaker would be popular by having it endoresed by athtletes. Nigo threw this strategy out the window by creating a limited supply he insured he would never have a high loss if the shoe wasn't popular and due to people fearing that they might never see this colorway again they bought up the sneakers as quickly as possible to resell.

Before Bape most sneaker and clothing store let you buy whatever you want and what size you wanted and most importantly as much as you wanted. Bape doesn't allow that in order to buy a Bape shoe or clothing article you have to buy your own size and you only can buy one of said Item A Busy Workshop store cuts back on resellers by making sure the buyer can only purchase there size.

Before Bape we had brands like TROOP and British Knights which focused on garnering hood appeal they where guady, corny, and all they did was look over each others shoulder making streetwear stagnant . Bape is a versatile brand they make a hoodie that is bright pink and a shirt that is black and shows minimal details. Thus insuring they can have fans of different style.

In short congratualtions Bape on a succesful decade in the streetwear , and sneaeker industry hopefully you continue to be a pioneer in your fields of business
