And They Say Chi-City: Sneak n Eat Recap

Over the weekend, Nike teamed up with the boutiques of Chicago to create a great buy/sell/trade event called Sneak N Eat.  The day begin as an all-ages sneaker extravaganza full of young sneakerheads and OG heads as well (I lay somewhere in the middle I suppose lol) along with vendors showing their hottest footwear and merchandise offerings.  The evening opened with the 21 and older crowd with food a-flowing and drinks a-pouring! A special VIP section held a sneak peek of upcoming footwear releases for Nike.  Very schwanky! All in all – a good event for the city and hopefully, just one of many more to come.  Special shoutout to Oscar, Jose, V.Dot, and Flipjays! Check out some of the pics below

Air Jordan x Va$htie Kola AJII LE Girls - Lavender/Deep Purple

A few weeks ago, we posted some first looks of the above pictured Air Jordan II set to release especially for the ladies this Holiday season.  Wellz, new info has just dropped confirming these babies are in fact a collaboration between Jordan Brand and NYC’s uptown sweetheart Va$htie Kola.  Most of you know that Miss V loves herself some Jordan, specifically the Black Cement IIIs – she took a different approach on this collab and went with a soft violet upper for this model.  These detailed pics surely help make the decision on whether to cop a lot easier – these are a good as bought! Set to drop on October 2^nd, this limited-edition colorway is as shedangly as it wants to be, AND I LIKES IT! More pics after the jump. via TSG x Jumpman23

Could It Be (GS)? - 2011: The Year of The Retro - JB Potential Releases

This time of year is always crazy for sneaker heads because news starts to circulate about potential releases for the following year.  Well, if speculation turns out to be truth, JB intends on putting my pockets in a coma come 2011.  Yesterday evening, news hit the interwebs regarding a GANG of retros set to hit the shelves – some we already knew were confirmed (white/cement AJIIIs and Bordeaux VIIs) and the rest, well the rest LITCHURRULLY put me in shocked face mode O.O.  Chicago Xs, White/Cement 4s, Cardinal 7s, Grape/Laney Vs pack – COTDAMN! Then, reality started to set in, all these classic releases wilst be great to see drop but WHAT EXACTLY WILL BE RELEASING IN GRADE SCHOOL SIZES?!?! Below is a list of things expected to drop next year posted on NT and a breakdown of what I THINK we can expect in GS sizes

BD's Picks for Fall x What's New @ NDC - Air Maxes, Air Force 1, and More

Whew, there's no denying the MASS amount of fuego footwear headed our way this Fall ladies, as I have unmasked some of what I think are the dopest pairs to drop thus far.  As you can see from above, we have two iconic models bringing some old age flare back into the game with the return of the OG Air Max 90 WMS colorway and the Air Force 1 low featuring a perforated swoosh - a design technique we've seen on other models in the past.  Also featured in the above mix is a new crowd favorite - the Air Max 24/7 - which has dropped in a number of great looks for women this year, but this Varsity Red/Dark Charcoal combo is SERIOUS! Rounding out the group is the Air Feather High - a slimmer take on the Air Force 1 High, toting the "Workboot" colorway used on a men's AF1 high version dropped earlier this year.  I can dig it! All of the above kicks are available for purchase NAO and Nike.com - more pics and "Where To Buy" links after the jump.

JB Holiday 2010: Air Jordan 13 Retro - White/Black - True Red - Detailed Pics

Detailed shots of this year's Air Jordan 13 releases are starting to hit the web, and myself as well as other are quite pleased.  The above pictured White/Black - True Red retro is set to release this December, and for the most part, is an exact replica of its 1997 predecessor (which I remember receiving as a late birthday gift from my bro – the last Jordan I would receive for a while).  What’s even better is that these babies are expected to release full family (*note: the joints you see up top are men's sizes), and we ALL know how delightful AJ13s look on small feet ^_^.  Anyhoo, peep all of the sneaker candy below – the pics are sure to make you smile.

What's New @ NDC: Air Max 90 Girls - Black/White - Voltage Cherry - Metallic Silver

A new girl’s AM90 just hit NDC featuring a voltage cherry and black outfit similar to that of the upcoming AJ13 releasing this December.  Patent leather and leather come together on the upper, side panel and accent.  Metallic silver polishes the accent surrounding the air unit – which just so happens to be voltage cherry, as is the lining.  White laces, midsole, and signature swoosh complete the look and have me going WOWZERS! Very fresh color blocking, Nike.  Little ladies and small foot syndrome members are going to love these! Available now for a moderately priced 75 bucks – hit up NDC right nao to order your pair!
