Nike Air Foamposite One "Pewter"


With yet another release of the Air Foamposite One, the Penny shoe line stands strong still with others waiting to be released this year. The Pewter, dulled metallic silver, color way dropped this past Saturday and blew with the wind. They feature a translucent gum sole like the recent retro’s, pewter foam shell, and black nubuck midsole.

Stores like Footaction hosted release parties in various locations such as Georgia, NYC, and PG Maryland. On release date I spotted about 20+ worn pairs in the mall already. If you missed the release then I recommend eBay.

Nike Air Foamposite One White/Black/Royal


Anfernee Penny Hardaway was once one of the most talented NBA players but his career and overall legacy was plagued by injuries. Despite that fact, his Penny shoe line is far past resurrected with a plethora of releases over the past years. We’ve caught wind that his White/Black-Royal Foamposite One colorway that he wore in the 98 playoff faceoff against the Heat are set to hit retail for the first time. No credible sources have confirmed this so don’t get your hopes up but stay vigilant. This colorway is also expected to drop with a $25 price increase but personally I think these are worth it.

Jordan II Max


The classic Air Jordan II's will be making another appearance this coming spring, but not in the usual look we all are used too. These Jordan II's will feature the trademark Air Max bubble sole dubbing them the Jordan II Max. Not the original retro drop that many were expecting with a minor change, but several new features. The Jordan II Max has the original white/black/red colorway of the Jordan II but introduces a red 360 Air bubble unit, breathable mesh for the tongue, and new traction design for the outer sole.
With this release, It is safe to say Jordan models are looking to improve upon the performance aspect and I would hope that certain others such as the Jordan 7’s follow.

adiZero Rose 1.5 St. Patrick's Day


Electrifying elite Chicago Bulls PG, Derrick Rose, will soon be rocking a unique St. Patrick’s Day edition of his adiZero Rose 1.5 this upcoming St. Patrick’s holiday. With a fresh spearmint-Irish-green base, the side laterals sport deep-green suede wrapped over the Sprint Skin layout. A slightly brighter sea-green emerges on the tongue graphic, lace eyelets, and insole but really snags looks with its appearance on the trademark Adidas strips. 

It’s only right to feature a four-leaf clover on the tongue graphic while the clover on the insole memorializes the draft date of D-Rose. Tic-tac white on the toe shell and mid/outer sole stitches the whole look together.

Tune in this St. Patrick’s Day to witness D-Rose’s debut of this CW as he slashes through the NJ Nets defense. Surely the Nets will need all the “Luck of the Irish” they can get in this battle the way the Bulls are dominating opponents.  These are expected to retail later this month on Eastbay in limited numbers.
