    When you hear the term ‘trainers’ in the sneaker world, you probably think of Nike always. Trainers are popular with a lot of Nike sneakers starting from the late 80s to early 90s most probably. And to date, Nike is still coming up with very interesting looking sneakers. But today, we will have Converse to present you with some training sneakers. Weird? Not really but this can be totally fun seeing Trainers from Converse instead of the usual Chuck Taylor.

    This is in commemoration of the 35th Anniversary Converse Classic Trainer. These sneakers are very simple in their looks since its uppers are made in one color suede. It adds up some white leather accents to match each of its soles plus some golden ALL Start stamp. This is part of the Converse Star Chevron collection made available at various SE Asian retailers. So what do you think of it?

    By on July 30th, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    DC shoes would always be popular for making very outlandish designs. Whether it is going to be chunky techie themed skate sneakers or even the casual versions of things such as the lifestyle sneakers. This new pair is not exemptions. This is wild hightop design that is popularized as Royal from Rob Dyrdek, DC team rider. This shoe is an extra high cut which sports some massive padded ankle that closes with the use of a Velcro strap.

    Thinking that this may not be already enough, it came up with framed sections in woven canvas set in black patent and shiny leather. This is the part which would really grab your attention. So if you are a great fan of black sneakers, you would love this since it carries an effect of a charole design with its being shiny. It sits on pure and clean white sole that gives good contrast to its overall look.

    Here we get a look at a Dunk High part of Nike SB August lineup. This Nike SB Dunk High is as simple as a sneaker could get as it comes in a Magnet/Medium Grey colorway. Multiple shades of grey come together on the upper, which is mostly constructed of canvas and suede. Black can be seen on the tongue, midsole and other minor areas around the sneaker. The shoe laces are done up in clean white, while the Nike swoosh is made of grey leather. This Nike SB Dunk High is finished off with a semi translucent outsole. It’s always nice to see a simple colorway on the SB Dunk High. Look for these to drop in the coming days at select Nike SB retailers.

  • Nike SB Blazer x Michael Lau, Unreleased Sample
    By on July 29th, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    It cannot be denied that Nike SB and Michael Lau have surely made numerous collaborations in the previous years. But this specific pair that you will see is somehow a secret pair since this is a sample that was never released. Most of you would remember the sneaker pair of Nike SB Blazers that Michael Lau made with Nike not so long ago. This came also with a special edition box. These shoes are all new in looks now and impressive in its own right.

    These have uppers in predominant white color with red accents all throughout the rest of the portion. Hence, the white is accentuated well with the red color that makes it look very pleasing and will surely make you wonder why it was never released. What we think is that maybe Michael Lau was not so satisfied with the colors himself and so he decided not for Nike to release it.

    You would really find it amazing at times when you realize that Converse has been doing Chuck Taylor since 1917. This makes it just a few years younger than being considered 100 years in production. At one point, these shoes remain unchanged especially with its basic features and designs. It has even managed to stay essentially modern regardless of how many trends and seasons have passed. This is really an impressive feat for any sneaker brand to accomplish. Hence, on our end as sneaker fanatics and reviewers, we are proud to say and announce always new versions that come up for the Chuck Taylor. Today, we will be looking at the brand new Converse Chuck Taylor Nylon All Star Pack.

    This brand new pack is made up of two sneakers that are made up of nylon. It somehow resembles the flight jacket and they will soon be available in military green or black colors.
