Weapon of Choice

The third installment of the UNDFTD x Converse Poorman's Weapon releases this Friday. Eddie Cruz & LA's Undefeated rolled out a olive green and black version a year ago and now drops what I think is the best colorway. The Converse Poorman’s Weapon features a bomber jacket nylon upper, removeable velcro logos and nylon bags. In addition, there will also be a matching MA-1 UNDFTD Flight Jacket. Thanks to High Snobiety for the pics.

Keeping with the orange and blue theme, peep the Nike Sportswear x FUTURA x Syracuse Orangemen Collection.

This collection features apparel to match four Orangemen inspired shoes (two Air Force 1 Lows, an Air Force 1 High, and a Dunk High) with colorways chose by Futura.

Tonight Syracuse plays Georgetown in a classic Big East Basketball rivalry. Watch for the Orangemen to don the Nike Sportswear x FUTURA N98 jackets during warmups. Big ups to Rich at Kix And The City for the info & pics.




Well, I am not a LOST fan, but Nike SB took inspiration from the hit ABC show in its last season for their January Quickstrike releases.

A Nike SB Blazer inspired by the Dharma Iniative uniform features the word "Shoe" replacing "Nike on the heel tab, along with screened insoles to mimick the labeled supplies found on the island.

In addition, a Nike SB Dunk High inspired by the colors of Oceanic Airlines. Thanks to Sneakernews for the pics.

You guys ready for the slew of AJ VI retros? The black/varsity red dropped last weekend and now here comes three more colorways set to drop this spring: a Lakers colorway, a Pistons colorway and an "Oreo" (white/black) colorway.Not a fan of this Pistons colorway. The patent leather? Yuck...

Of the three, this one is my favorite...The speckled effect is a nice touch on the "Oreos".

The Laker colorway looks nice, with 3M throughout the upper and yellow & purple contrast stitching (thanks for the pics, Ming!).


While Kobe has worn his fair share of Jordan retros before getting his Nike signature model...

...I don't expect him to rock this one in a game.

For the latest colorway of Kobe's actual signature shoe, here's a peek at the Home version of the Nike Zoom Kobe V.

The Away Vs are in stores now (which I personally like better), but expect the Home version is expected to drop in the next month or so. Fistbump again to Rick at Kix for the pics.
And lastly if you haven't watched any NBA games the past couple nights you've missed out on some AJ XII PE heat...

Joe Johnson vs the Rockets...

...Quentin Richardson vs. the Cavs (Bron rocking GR white/black/gold VIIs)...

...Ray Allen vs the Clippers...


...and Gerald Wallace vs. the Nuggets.

Pfffffffffffffffft! Hago!
