Nike Air Foamposite Pro - Yeezy


If you're like me, you're sick of all things "Yeezy" right now too. That being said, this is one of the better Foamposite Pro color ways to drop in some time. Nike took it easy on the graphics this time much to the pleasure of sneakerheads everywhere. No heat map, weather map or topography map covering this upper, just all over black with a very subtle checked pattern from the looks of early pics. The bright red lining and glow in the dark sole explain the sad but appropriate "Yeezy" nickname as well as add a bit of color. 

The Yeezy Foams drop in on April 19, 2014, which happens to be right in the middle of spring. Here are some spring shirts and jacket to rock with them:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Tough choices on what to rock today. Should I go with the Saucony Originals Jazz? Jordan 1 Electric Green? Or the Air Jordan 1 Celtics? The Jazz feature a black suede toe box with a kelly green shamrock embroidered on the outside, kelly green heel up with a big black embroidered shamrock and kelly green laces and a black/white/kelly green midsole. The Jordan 1 electric green features a gorge green outsole, white midsole and an upper comprised of electric green, gorge green and black leather. The Air Jordan 1 Celtics pays tribute to the old Boston Garden and comes with a gold swoosh, along with a white/green/black leather upper. The green has an inlaid parquet pattern mimics the legendary Boston Garden court wood. 

Let's see if a full setup will help make my St. Patrick's Day garb choice any easier:


Saucony Jazz. Nixon Rubber Player watch. Adidas Celtics tshirt. Levi's 527 jeans.



Air Jordan 1 Celtics. Adidas Celtics hoodie. Wewood watch. Levi's twisted seam jeans.



Jordan Retro Air Jordan 1 Electric Green. Air Jordan Electric Green tshirt. Nixon Private watch. Levi's 559 jeans.

Nike Air Tech Challenge II - Bamboo


How about we pair up a couple of upcoming releases? Today we look at the Nike Air Tech Challenge II, originally inspired by Andre Agassi. This retro comes with a tan upper made entirely of suede, including and off-white Swoosh, liner and heel branding. The classic ATC II midsole comes in Volt to really make this colorway pop. Stay with the sporty/active theme and rock a Casio G-Shock on your wrist with these on your feet. We recommend the Green version of the famous GD-120 from their new Team Sports Series:

The Concepts X Converse Pro Leather "Aran Sweater" is actually more "traditional" than you think it is. "Traditional" in the sense that the upper is based on the traditional Irish cable knit sweaters than take their name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. After you get over the initial shock of a sweater on your feet, you realize that these are actually much more versatile than you think. Just like most Converse All-Stars, you can rock just about anything with them. Pants seem to be the toughest fit so we found a few that might work well. Just be sure to sat on the slim side, especially around the ankle, so your pants don't swallow the shoe whole. 

The Concepts X Converse Pro Leather "Aran Sweater" drops this Saturday, March 15 at Concepts and online at www.cncpts.com in a limited supply. Just in time for St. Patricks Day!

Saucony X UBIQ Grid 9000 - Dirty Martini


The Saucony Originals crew teams up with Philadelphia-based UBIQ for today's release of the "Dirty Martini" Grid 9000. It's pretty easy to see where the name came from when taking a look at these classics. Smooth green suede covers the toe box with a predominantly black upper. Hits of orange accents on the eyelets and midesole complete the olive look. Math these up with a watch of similar top-notch craftsmanship. The Nixon 51-30 Chrono from their new Industrial Craft collection is similarly understated in dark, earthy tones, goes perfectly with the Dirty Martini theme.

This pair features an all white upper with a tan heel accent, pinstriped inner lining and best of all, a gum outsole.

Jordan Air Jordan III Retro - Infrared 23


Jordan brings back the III and the Infrared 23 theme again this Saturday March, 8 in brand new color way. This version is very similar to the White Cement III's looks-wise, but with a black tongue and hints of infrared being the main differences. Once classic look deserves another, check this crew neck from Reigning Champ:









PS - do a lace swap with black laces on the Infrared 23's. $$$$$
