The shoes above are the result of collaboration between Boston’s Bodega and Reebok. The market for this special set of Reebok Pumps is the jet setting sneaker fan who wants something to stand apart. As you can see, there is a map which has the route from New York to Boston for all of you Northeasterners who need to find a bus route out of town. This limited edition design will be limited to 100 pairs and these will be a hot ticket when they hit the stores.

I would love to see the Reebok Pumps with other routes throughout the United States. Bodega naturally wants to cater to the people in their community who don’t care how to get from Chicago to St. Louis. Reebok should look into partnering with sneaker shops around the country and create a road warrior pack for every region.

In fact, Reebok could take a page from New Balance and allow customization on the go. Pump fans could place a GPS system on the inside of the tongue to know where they are constantly. This suggestion is a joke, of course, and there is something interesting about purchasing these Pumps through Bodega. As a creature of the Midwest, a map covering the Boston to New York route may encourage may to stray away from the familiar. These ventures depend entirely on my bank account and whether these shoes will even be available by the time I make my move.

Some of you may have seen these sneakers on the feet of NBA star Kobe Bryant, and may have wondered where you can get a pair. These Team USA edition Nike Zoom Kobe II sneakers are rumored to only be available in Asia. Although I believe this rumor to be true; lets hope that these sneaks don’t do so well in Asia, like some previous Nike releases, and then come out in the USA.

Of course we can expect these to be available on ebay, and a few other online shoe stores that ship worldwide. I will be sure to keep an eye out for either one. Take a look at the 10+ pictures below, and express your feelings about these kicks. Enjoy!

Nike is the official sponsor of the USA basketball team, which is playing for a qualifying position for the summer games in the FIBA Americas Championship. Nike has created this pair of Nike Air Force XXV Low Player Exclusives that come in a red/white/blue colorway.

The sneaker company Clae is showing us all a sneak peak at what we can expect from them this fall. The shoes seen here, this style is the “Russell”, are scheduled to be released in a select few stores spread out all over the USA. Although I have yet to see these shoes in person, I hear that they are not only extremely comfortable but they can easily keep up with any athletic sneaker on the market.

I am not normally interested in sneaks that look like these, but I must say that I am quite impressed with the Clae brand, and I look forward to their future releases. There are more pictures inside with the other colorways that will be released this fall. Would any of you rock these? Enjoy!
