Here’s a video that came way from my buddy Gord, and yes this is what we do at work, we just send links back and forth. Here’s a new ad from Nike that stars Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls and LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavs. LeBron dons a costume and plays the part of “Business LeBron”, there’s a whole set of characters that have been seen in numerous commercials, Wise LeBron, Kid LeBron, LeBron James as himself and the aforementioned Business LeBron. The commercial is mad cheesy and I definitely think that they’re trying to be cheesy and funny, very much making the sneaker experience relateable to a sexual experience. I mean we all know Nicole Scherzinger is fine, there’s no denying that, but people that know me know that I joke alot about foot fetishes, well I have to say, she’s got some FINE ASS FEETS, hammer toes need not apply. Thank you, come again.
Favorite parts:
When he gives her the red laces, it’s like he just gave her a sex toy or something. Notice the laces are in the shape of the number 6, this is the 6th shoe in the series.
When the shot cuts to the fish aka Sir Charles in the tank staring at the action.
“Oh girl, don’t pump fake me now”.

The safari print is a total hit or miss with me. To date, I’ve only taken a liking to the AM90 and AM90 boots Safari. Heres a colorway combo that works extremly well with the safari print and on my all time favorite silhouette, the Air Force 1. Introducing the Nike Air Force 1 High ZF. Aside from the colorway, what I like most is the sneaker gets the same round lace treatment as the recently released Nike Snowboarding boots. With word that Stash had involvement in these Forces, you can be they’ll be limited. Make the leap for more pics.
The latest offering from Nike are two pairs of Dunks adorned with premium leather, suede, perforated leather and canvas. Dubbed the Winter Animal pack, the black and white pair are called the “Huskie” and the all white pair, the “Polar Bear”. From a first glance, the Huskie seem a lot more winter ready in comparison to the Polar Bear. It’s kinda hard to associate white perforated leather and canvas with the cold weather. But regardless both pairs look amazing. Currently, they are available at Corporate and Proper in a full range of sizes.
Billy May has a great concept for sports eyewear. The Nike Hindsight enhances its wearer with 25 degrees more peripheral vision. The benefit is an early heads up of incoming traffic without breaking your neck. But, the downside is that objects within the periphery end up being blurry. Regardless, I’d like to try these on myself. Make the leap to see how Hindsight works.
I’m really looking forward to these weatherproof Air Force Ones. First off, the tough exterior reminds me of my all time favorite Winter sneakers, the N2 Gore-tex high tops. Minus the difference in model height, the outsole also receives an inclement weather friendly treatment as well. Further proof is evidenced on the heel with an embroidery that reads, “0.44 Sticky Rubber”. Finally, the olive khaki, white and gum light brown colorway undeniably makes a perfect pair of sneakers for Winter. Look forward to these Forces to drop real soon.
Here is another pair of quickstrike heat that may or may not hit US shores any time soon. With the suede and mesh upper, these should easily be a fan favorite for retro Air Max lovers. If you absolutely can’t wait for these to arrive at any boutique, Size? currently has a decent range of sizes. On a different note, I feel these Air Max Lights would complete the recent Fall Air Max pack that includes a pair of Air Structure Triax, BW’s and AM90’s.
Make the leap for more images of these Air Max Lights.
Here’s a video interview that Spin magazine just dropped with DJ A-Trak discussing the new Nike Running Man Mix that he worked on for Nike. Here’s an excerpt from the site:
Admitting he’s no Jesse Owens, A-Trak parallels the “pacing” it takes to run with his style of mixing and sequencing. Running Man was “about letting certain elements of the track seep in and flow gradually,” he explains, instead of the obviousness of a club record, but let’s see you try to keep your feet still once the beat hits. - Spin.com
Haven’t heard the A-Trak ft. Kid Cudi “Say Whoa” track? Listen to it here.
Just yesterday a fellow sneaker head and I were discussing how much we love black/grey/yellow as a colorway combination. In her case, she gave mention to a pair of Nike SB’s and a recent pair of Half Cab where the sneaker is mostly black with yellow perforated leather heel. My personal favorites happen to be the Uptown Supremes in black/grey/zest and a pair of Air Max 360/95 hybrids. These “Bumblebee” Air Force 180’s will have to be added to that list of favorite sneakers in black/grey/yellow. The amount of varsity maize gives a good balance to the otherwise overwhelming black durabuck leather. The satin tongue also adds a touch of class. No word was given on a release date, but I’m glad the Air Force 180’s are once again retroed.
