If you own a pair of XIIIs chances are it’s the Flints and if you don’t you probably wish you had a pair. So it makes since that Jordan Brand took such a likable color way and used it on the 6Rings. One of the main reasons why this color way works so well is the resemblance the 6Rings has to the XIIIs, the midsole on these is practically the same as on the XIIIs. Using the same materials on the upper was a genius idea and def helps get the feel across. Sizes 8.5-11 now at Marqueesole.

JBF created the Kaboom! Nike Dunks for a client who wanted to give his kid some nice customs. The Kaboom! Nike Dunks balance simple colors with complex design, a trademark of JBF’s work. I found these photos at the Nike Talk post linked here.

If you start your examination of the Kaboom! Dunks from the heel, you may not think much of these customs. With the exception of a pair of pink pupils emerging from the black panel, JBF left the back half of the Kaboom! Dunks clean. The designer focused his attention on the eyelets and toes, setting off some artistic explosions around the white toe box.

JBF used jagged black lines to create the shock waves surrounding pink/white flash points. Instead of setting off a few simple explosions, JBF overlapped the shock waves to simulate all-out war. The designer’s use of subtle colors like black, gray and white allowed the pink flash points stand out. The Kaboom! Nike Dunks demonstrate JBF’s ability to make sophisticated sneakers without resorting to wild colors and crazy graphics.

If these New Balance look at all familiar, then it is probably because you have recently seen Kanye West rocking these at London’s fashion week. They are a collaboration between New Balance and Japanese Brand, United Arrows. They feature a light gray upper with accents of pink and purple.

Some images of an early Air Jordan 7 PE have surfaced, and knowing that we will probably never get our hands on a pair is such a tease. This is the RIP City Washington Wizards PE, which has a white colorway, matching nicely with the Washington Wizards jersey.

Reebok is reaching for the goth/dominatrix audience on this one. The newest of the Reebok Freestyle’s, dubbed the Biker Chic, is just what the crowd has been looking for. It features a black leather upper, and covered in studs, PVC, distressed leather and zippers.

Nike will be releasing a new boot in it’s ACG line soon, and it has been named after a popular ninja weapon. The boot uses Flywire technology and mixed with vintage Nike style, to seamlessly blend old and new school. The bright colors really pop against the dark upper.
