Im a huge Scottie Pippen fan so these got me really GEEKED!! First donned in 1993 by Scottie Pippen at the season’s All-Star Game, the Nike Air Maestro sees its way to a September 2011 release in an updated Medium Grey/Solar Red color palette. Featuring the Flight logo embroidered on the neoprene black tongue, the pair is amended with a contrasting white swoosh adjacent to perforated leather side panels.

Streething x Leftfoot x New Balance 'APAC Project 2011: Q&A with those involved'

New Balance, streething and leftfoot have collabed and are about to drop some major heat!

Here's and interview with Chooee Hwang (Founder of Streething) talking about working with New Blance and Leftfoot


Chooee Hwang

Why the collaboration with New Balance and Leftfoot?

I think the biggest inspiration about New Balance is the fact that it has always been true to its identity and heritage. I always believe one must always know his/her own identity and never try to be someone who you’re not. Also, we have been working with New Balance for the past 5 years on digital, PR and event and New Balance has always been one of our favorite brands all along. As for Leftfoot, Anthony and I have known each other for a long time and it is a joy to get to work with like-minded partner who is also a personal friend

What Streething elements can be seen in the HM574?

As many do know, Streething started with its main focus on sneakers therefore, we choose to pay more attention to the “Past” HM574 as we are really into the heritage of New Balance. The sneakerheads in us want to keep the core colour of New Balance: navy and grey with using same material that was used on the first generation of 574 on a pair of HM574.

What Streething elements can be seen in the HS77?

The HS77 shoe is regarded as a lifestyle shoe, however its ultra light soles make it perfect as a running shoe as well. The versatility of it encompasses Streething’s values and believes – to be an urban lifestyle website that also focuses on sneakers.

What are the main inspirations for this collection?

The main inspirations for this collection are our lifestyle and interests. In our line of work, we observe trends and style on a daily basis, so we want to create a timeless and versatile design that will appeal to not only the sneakerheads but also the mass.

What were the greatest challenges designing the shoe?

The greatest challenge for us is narrowing 101 ideas to 3 shoes yet making it relevant for taste of the current consumers. We have no shoe design experience so we have to depend on Eugene Yeo (New Balance Singapore Assistant Marketing Manager), Patrick Wong (New Balance Singapore Country Manager) and Taylor Canby (Footwear Design Manager, New Balance Athletic Shoes (HK) Limited) for their input.

What is one thing about the past you associate closely with the shoe?

Back in the days, I used to hunt down all the deadstock sneakers in moms and pop stores and most of the sneakers back then were in basic colourway like navy, grey and white. After so many years I realized most of my favourite sneakers are in those basic colourway. That is the reason why we chose the heritage colours of New Balance: Navy and grey to be the core colourway of the "Past" HM574.

In your own words, how would you describe New Balance’s Past, Present and Future concept?

New Balance is translating their heritage from the past into their present assets, and making excellence for the future.

Why the 574 is one of the iconic models for New Balance?

I believe by making quality products and relevant designs will make 574 an evergreen model which both old and new customers would embrace.

Michael Jordan’s golf bag is six times more awesome than ordinary golf bags


Check out this slice of golf awesomeness: a six-ring golf bag. And there's only one man whom this could belong to: Michael Jordan himself.
(Well, three men, actually, but we're pretty sure this doesn't belong to Scottie Pippen or Phil Jackson.)
Where do we even begin with this? You think those rings are real gold, or at least some gold knockoff? I think it's at least possible. This is one cassette player away from the Al Czervik "Caddyshack" special, and I'm not doubting the possibility that there's a Blu-Ray player and a local wi-fi network tucked in behind those rings.
The bigger issue is, why do something like this at all? I mean, it's not like people are going to forget that Michael Jordan is the guy who won six world championships with the Chicago Bulls. Will Perdue, sure, I could see him doing this. Dennis Rodman probably has images of his rings tattooed somewhere. But Jordan? Dude, you're so iconic you've got your own icon! It's right there above the rings! (Symbolism, anyone?)
Anyway, it's MJ, and he can do whatever he wants. And these days, he wants to spend a lot of time on the golf course. Whether it's hustling patrons at a celebrity pro-am or serving as a vice-captain on the United States' Presidents Cup team or advising Tiger Woods on how to get his mojo back, Jordan is all over the golf course these days.
And he's going to make damn sure you don't grab his bag by mistake.

San Antonio GODZILLA x MECHAGODZILLA Screening To Feature Matt Frank


Written By: René A. Guzman
Source: My San Antonio

San Antonio-based Comic Break goes kaiju crazy with a free screening of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and an appearance by S.A.’s own Matt Frank, the artist behind stomping good variant covers for IDW’s Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. The Fanboy Flix event kicks off Sunday, Sept. 18, at 6 p.m. at the Stone Oak Drafthouse.

In the 2002 monster flick, a turn-of-the-century Godzilla throws down against a giant robot version of himself made from the bones of the original Gojira who first terrorized Japan in 1954. That means plenty of cyborg-v-dinosaur action, plus a cameo by former New York Yankees great Hideki “Godzilla” Matsui. You know, just because.

The movie screens at 7 p.m. for free, but get there an hour early and bring cash anyway. That’s because Frank will meet and greet fans at 6 p.m. and sell a $20 limited edition Godzilla print he created just special for the event.

Limited to 100 copies, the Frank print features Godzilla and Mechagodzilla stomping around some very familiar local landmarks. (Oh no! There goes the Alamo!) The print measures around 11×17 inches and, as you can see in this post, looks ridiculously gorgeous. Frank will also sign copies of the new Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters trade paperback that features his covers, which sells at the event for $18.99. You can get both the trade paperback and the print for $30.

IDW's GODZILLA Comic Books For November!

In November IDW will add yet another title to their hugely popular Godzilla line with "Godzilla Legends"!

Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #9

Jason Ciaramella (w) • Victor Santos (a) • David Messina (c)

As the dust settles on last issue's epic monster battle, humanity finds a silver lining among all the destruction, and things quiet down. But just because some of the monsters have retreated doesn't mean the rampage has ended… after all, there may be more gargantuan threats right around the corner. Whatever may be next, mankind may finally be ready to put up a fight!

SPoT x Nike SB Dunk High "Cigar City"



Just yesterday Sole Collector offered an exclusive look at the limited packaging set to accompany a limited number of the SPoT x Nike SB Dunk High "Cigar City." With only a teaser image out there, many of you still claimed the "Cigar City" SB Dunk a must-have. Today, we're finally given our first official look at Todd Bratrud's latest piece of work with Nike SB and SPoT.

They make use of a combination of suede and nubuck covered in brown and dark red throughout the upper. The 'Cigar City" influence is seen throughout the underlay, where the tobacco leaf takes place. A tear-away material will be used as the tobacco leaf, revealing blunt-guts once skated or scuffed.

The SPoT x Nike SB Dunk High "Cigar City" is expected to drop next month as one of quickstrike releases for the month of September. Sole Collector will be sure to update you once further details surface.

Nike Lava Dunk Hi


Bridging the gap between Nike’s heritage in basketball and outdoor adventure is the Lavadunk. Combining the rugged outdoor nature of the Nike ACG Lava Dome
and classic basketball feel of the Nike Dunk High emerges the Lavadunk, first debuted in the AFE Collection in 2010.

A rugged outsole (borrowed from the original outdoor pack of Lavadome, Approach and Magma) fit for the trails, mesh breathability of the upper and classic suede
are preserved from the Lava Dome. The Dunk is incorporated with the high-top collar, Swoosh and panel configuration representing the basketball icon that turned
head’s in the 1980’s when players were true to their school. The Lavadunk debuts in August in two colorways; Gum Light Brown/Drenched Blue (my Favorite) and Sail
Victory Green-Light Bone- both a nod to the original colors of Lavadomes. Available 8/20/2011
