Peek-A-Boo: Nike WMNS Air Max 90 Patent Leather

Whoooa...patent leather may be one of the most debated materials used on sneakers. Some people love it, and some people, well, just can't stand it. I personally like the effect it gives a sneaker, when used properly. This time around Nike used a sparkling patent material on a brand new set of Air Max 90s for women. Set to release in two lakers inspired colorways, the yellow and purple AM feature a predominately patent leather upper, with the traditional mesh on the toe box, tongue, and upper back panel. Set to release in Spring 2009, these will definitely catch a lot of looks from the fellas! A very nice touch to an already celebrated Nike model. More pics after the jump

Been Gone For A Minute...

...But I'm back to jump December off right! This month will most definitely be big for releases, I mean all the major sneaker brands are GOING HARD for the gents and tiny tots, but you know here at SNEAKHERBOX.com, the ladies are the main priority. So to kick things off right, I bring you a dope collabo between Colette and La MJC for the Sold Out Collection. This time they teamed up to design a great Asics Gel Lyte III for the ladies. Accompanied by a lovely matching bag, the Gel Lyte III sports a beautiful colorway of white, pink, purple, light blue, and black. The speckled Asics design on the side panels really add a chic-ness to these kicks. These will be EXTREMELY limited with only 100 pairs dropping worldwide, releasing overseas at Patta & Solebox (only 12 pairs per store), and of course, Colette in Paris. Get your European connect game up now cuz these will be in stores December 12th!

Sneak of the Week: Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High ZF Luxury Red

Woooow. I haven't seen a Nike Air Force 1 High that made me lose it in a minute! The above pictured kicks are a part of the recently snowboarding inspired "boots" released for men and women by Nike, but these are made for the chicks! They feature a mixture of materials including nubuck and smooth leather and a spectrum of deep to bright reds. A classic victorian style design adorns the side panels and really ties together all the amazing details features on this sneaker. Gorgeous! Sadly, these are in limited quantity and are strictly available at Nike 21 Mercer Street store in NY. oh poo...

Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High ZF - Snow White

Recently Nike designed four pairs of Air Force 1s inspired by snowboarding boots for men. The colorways were sick but certainly left us ladies feeling neglected. Not to fret my little snowbunnies! The Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Hi ZF pictured above is just for us and IMO must more clean and crisp than the mens tehehe :). The "boot" features a simple white colorway but is detailed with textured and smooth leather and a crocidile embellished leather swoosh. The Air Force 1 Hi also features gold stitching and Nike Logo on the back tab of the shoe. Super fresh! The sneakers are currently available in limited supply at the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer Street Store in NYC but hopefully will appear on the Nike Sportswear website soon :)

Premium: Nike WMNS Dunk Hi Pink/Red-Black

It seems as though Nike is starting to ambush the ladies with fabolous sneaks as the year ends. This time around we have pics of a brand new Dunk Hi specifically made for the ladies. It features a fierce red, hot pink, and black colorway and a variety of premium materials including leather and wool. Also noticable on these kicks is that the toe box is actually not perforated but dotted with gold to give the illusion of the signature holes. Check for these to release on November 29th at select Nike retailers.

House of Hoops Chicago Grand Opening Recap

So this Saturday I went up to North Riverside Mall to check out the House of Hoops Chicago Grand Opening. First off, I noticed that maddd people showed up, and the mall pulls a crazy amount of traffic as it is, so that was a good look off the bat. The folks at Foot Locker really went all out for the opening, with an in-store dj to keep the crowd moving, book signing, and a panel discussion featuring some of bball's well knowns hosted by ESPN's own Steven A. Smith (I even heard Scottie Pippen showed up, but I can neither confirm nor deny that lol). Inside the store, there was definitely a looot of heat. Wall to wall Nike and Jordan apparel and kicks. Most noted were the dozens of hyperdunks in special team colorways, Air Jordan Beginning Moments Pack (yes, that's right), NBA Blazer Pack, Slam City Air Force Ones (all four colorways), and of course we cannot forget about the Joe Johnson and Ray Allen Team Jordan PEs (which were already sold out by Saturday). Of course, there is plenty more in the store, so if you are in the Chicagoland area, you should definitely stop by on a weekly basis, as I am sure there will be many more exclusive releases and guest appearances to come. Check out a couple photos belowzies!

Hey hey hey ladies! As winter continues to approach (and as you can tell, I'm not in the least bit excited about it lol), switching our kick color scheme is essential.

Here we have the newest womens dunk hi on the scene sporting a subtle purple/infrated- beige colorway. The premium leather upper and wool side and ankle panels really feist this release up!
