I Support These Bands






After being one of the best-looking shoes available for a couple of years now (and that doesn’t even factor in the performance features), what else can the Janoski do? Hitting stores in the fall, the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski “Blood Splatter” goes for a uniquely patterned textile over the entire upper, really setting it apart from the relatively subtly color-blocked Janoski typically seen. Check out a few more looks under the cut, and stick with NB for release updates. Photos via warpedstore.com.

Skate Mental x Nike SB Microsite

Skate Mental x Nike SB Microsite

Nike SB just launched a microsite dedicated to their collaboration with Skate Mental. When you first get there, you’ll notice a handwritten checklist laid on what looks to be a wooden deck — that’s the navigation for the site. You can access video, galleries and, of course, the Nike SM product line all from this front page. The best part is probably the hilariously kitschy photo shoot with the SM guys on vacay in Oregon, getting in touch with the great outdoors.

UNDFTD x MVPuppets

Trendsetters UNDFTD have collaborated with Nike on the current rage in advertising, the MVPuppets, to create these special edition shirts, releasing this Saturday, December 19th. Each shirt features either puppet LeBron or puppet Kobe alongside Undefeated’s U-Man and featuring the “Just Do It” slogan. Whether you think the MVPuppets have hit their saturation point or not, the shirts are pretty sick. Check them out after the jump.

Nike Sportswear Air Flytop ST

Another Saturday Nike Sportswear release, these might just be the best Nike Air Flytops we’ve seen to date. The relatively new silhouette (although obviously it bears a striking resemblance to some sort of Air Royal Mid—Dynasty High mixture) is hitting in two colorways, a varsity purple/black that sports a purple leather upper, black toecap and Swoosh and grey fabric piping crossing all over the shoe, and a hot red/varsity maize colorway that features a predominantly red upper with equal parts maize, white and grey mixed onto different panels. Really loving that purple one. More pictures after the jump.

Nike Dunk Low GS “Year of the Tiger”


Nike Dunk Low Year of the Tiger

Insert lame Tiger Woods joke here. Wait for laughter … segue into product description. 2010 is the “Year of the Tiger” so it stands to reason that Nike, as they typically do, would create a Year of the Tiger shoe. And here it is. At the moment limited to GS sizes, it’s pretty possible that the Dunk Low “Year of the Tiger” could wind up stateside in adult sizes. More pictures after the jump. Grab a pair now at Chiba Sports.

Zoom Kobe V On NIKEiD!


Nike Zoom Kobe V ID

While not available for purchase until December 25th, the Nike Zoom Kobe V ID is available to be played with and customized now on NIKEiD.com, after which you can save the design until it’s ready to be ordered on Christmas Day. Not a lot of information about how this will work, if, for example, it will be like last year where Nike would randomly select a handful of ID’s to actually be shipped and cap that number at 15 or so. That seems logical. The Kobe V on Nike ID is actually one of the better customizable shoes I’ve seen, as it includes several different patterns for the base layer, metallic or “exotic” print for the eyestays and toecap. Anyway, check it out now on NikeID.com and get your pair prepped for the 25th. More pictures after the jump.

Nike Zoom Kobe V Debuts (With Release Date!)


Nike Zoom Kobe V Purple/Gold

I’ll cover this much more tomorrow and in the days to come, but Kobe Bryant and Nike Basketball premiered his new shoe today, debuting the Nike Zoom Kobe V itself along with a little background and some release dates. In short, the Zoom Kobe V will be on NIKEiD.com on December 26th and available in stores in the US, Canada and Europe on January 16th. For some reason China gets them on January 1st. If this wasn’t enough for you rest assured there will be much, much more to come. Just wanted to get that official Nike Zoom Kobe V release date out there as soon as possible.
