The Nike Dunk Hi 1 Piece means what it says – the shoe upper is seamless and is entirely in 1 piece.Another special feature would be that it was having the used look trait. The right shoe of every pair of sneakers had a big patch of black colored stain. Some people would love this because they like the used look. It is similar to buying stone washed denims because they have the faded look.

The orange colorway looks good with the black stains. I like the toe box with the bullet holes. I think the whole concept for this design is to look cool. I admire the way Nike could do this shoe without making any seams in the shoe upper.

I like the two pairs with the orange/white colorway and the green/white colorway. I think that the whites in the colorways make the shoes suitable to blend with a great many colors of clothing. White is a safe color to stick to and buying such a versatile shoe would mean stretching my dollar.

On the other hand, the yellow and purple colorway forms a unique combination and would stand out anywhere.However, it is tougher to match this sneaker with colored clothing.

These shoes will be released on Feb. 1, by ACU. The price tag would be ￥1100 for each pair.

The biggest news in the NBA this past off-season was the rejuvenation of the Boston Celtics. The franchise had languished in the years since Bird, McHale and Parrish were battling against the Knicks and the Lakers. The Celtics added superstars Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to help Paul Pierce bring a championship back to the team.

The design team at All Souled Out created a pair of Adidas Superstars in honor of the new Big Three in Boston. The shoes are painted black except the outsole and toebox which are kept white making the shoe look appropriate at the bowling alley. The tri-stripe symbol is painted over to highlight the white clover with the jersey numbers of the Big Three on each leaf.  

I think these shoes are appropriate for diehard Celtics fans instead of general sneaker lovers because of the significance of the Big Three in the franchise’s fortunes. The simple design may not appease customs fans who like shoes with some flavor but it does the job of commemorating a new chapter in Boston basketball.

This Nike Air Force 1 Mid ‘07 is due to release on February 9th. However, they are available right now at some retailers in Asia.

If you are looking for another brown shoe this winter, you will love these Mids. These shoes feature a combination of walnet and baroque brown in a simple yet sweet looking colorway. These shoes feature smooth nubuck, soft suede and lots of style.

Unlike many of the wild color combinations and textures that we have seen in recent months, this AF1 keeps things basic. If you like brown and are looking for a versatile sneaker that you can wear with almost anything, these kicks are a nice choice.

These will be $90 when they release in the U.S. in February. Right now, snag them at Caliroots or try to pick up a pair on eBay.

These kicks are perfect for either a LeBron James fan or an Ohio State fan. If you are a fan of both, you should definitely be on the look out for these sneakers.

This Ohio State themed Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier is a very nice looking shoe. Utilizing the white and red of Ohio State, Nike has released these elaborate yet smooth looking PEs.There’s two different versions, either red on white or white on red.

The Swoosh on these shoes is on top of the exaggerated flap which covers the laces.

These shoes aren’t available at House of Hoops like many of the other Player Exclusives. So to cop a pair, you are going to have to get very lucky (and shell out a lot of cash) because these were issued to the team only. Via NikeLeBron.

The Air Jordan Force 12’s will now be available exclusively on the “Memembers Only” Air Jordan Flight Club. The colorway consists of black, green bean, and varsity red. $160 is the retail price and sizes 7-18 are in stock right now. via theshoegame

Nike SB has launched its new Nike Air Trainer 2 SB. It is in Anthracite/Reflective Silver. This will be available in February.

The shoe uses a mix of materials. The toe box has perforated leather. It is surrounded by a boundary of rough leather.

A shoe strap straddles across the start of the shoe lace line. It has the Nike brand in bold, white letters on it. I think this strap is more for a fanciful look than for a functional purpose. The mi-section of the shoe upper has a panel that has a grid superimposed on its material. Over this, the Nike swoosh runs until it reaches the back stab. There are 2 layers of upper mid-soles.  These are made of different types of leather. The sole is sprinkled with tiny specks.

The bottom sole is divided into 3 sections. Below the front toe box is the black anthracite portion.  It even has a line of machine stitches running across the rounded circumference. The mid-section of the sole is in speckled design.  The heel of the sole has a small portion of black sole, no doubt to reinforce the strength of the heel.

I like this shoe. The color is somber but there are many interesting details.
