Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) Rage Pack & Lace Up.

Bad Boy Records new artist, Machine Gun Kelly aka MGK, is making huge noise in the Hip Hop game now. He hasn't dropped an album yet but has a couple of great mixtapes: Rage Pack and Lace Up. I just discovered him a few days ago, (pardon my ignorance lol), and I love his music already. He's a young raw rapper who speaks for the people and raps real about things he's been through. Future of rap.

Air Jordan 12 "Jason Kidd" PE (Player Exclusive)

Air Jordan 12 Jason Kidd exclusive. Reminds me of the French Blue retro 12's.

Nike Lebron 9 "Freegums"

This Lebron is a lot more simple then it's past Lebron 9 releases. This design has a plain black and white colorway with a few hints of varsity red. Simplistic look but still hot at the same time. These are now available at select Nike Basketball retailers.

Nike Kobe 7 "Concord"

Nike is hitting his with a new Kobe 7 colorway. The colorway got its inspiration from the Air Jordan 11 "Concord" with the black, white, and purple (concord) color scheme. Nike has surfaced this "concord" colorway before but now there's a source where you can purchase them early. If you don't do international business on the purchasing tip, then you'll be waiting until it's release date (January 6, 2012). But if not, they're available now overseas.

Clark Kent x Nike Lebron 8 "James Dean" (Custom)

We got another custom out here. This custom made it on the Complex Best Sneakers of 2011 list. These are the Nike Lebron 8's that were put together with some uncommon materials. These Lebron 8's have a mostly denim upper. Really sleek look to them. Not really a huge fan of Lebron's but I love these.

Nike Lebron 9 "Galaxy All-Star"

Yet ANOTHER Nike Lebron colorway is on the horizon; these are a little more special than the other releases though. These Lebron's are claimed to be the sneakers Lebron James will wear at this years NBA All Star Game. These Lebron 9's have a sort of space-like color feel to them. Adding various shades of orange and grey. Pretty dope look.

THIS JUST IN: Yeezy back to work.

Even with the Air Yeezy 2's set to release in March of 2012, that has not stopped Mr. West from going back to work. Kanye West has been wearing his Yeezy 2's during his Watch The Throne tour with Jay-Z but he has also been DRAWING SKETCHES for the design of the AIR YEEZY 3's !! Besides his tweet regarding it, no other information regarding the Yeezy 3's has been released or mentioned. Damn, he's making Yeezy 3's and the Yeezy 2's ain't even out yet ... That shit cray

New Photos: Nike Air Force 1 "The Gift"

New images on the upcoming Air Force 1 "The Gift".

Personal Shoutout.

I'd like to take the time to dedicate this post to the people of Kicksonfire.com ; I recently donated to their cause and exchanged blog/newsletter subscriptions with them. I received 3 "Sneakerhead" wristbands and a personal letter from them welcoming me into their "Sneakerhead Family". Kicksonfire is the first mainstream sneaker site that has somewhat put on for me and recognized me. I would like to personally thank them for that. I've been working on this blog for months now and the beat goes on !!

Nike Zoom Kobe 7 "Great White Shark"

In addition to the new Lebron 9's and KD 4's, Nike is now making a new Zoom Kobe 7. Now that the very colory leopard print Kobe's have been released, Nike has decided to keep that animal theme going with these new ones. This Zoom Kobe has a white colorway with two different styles of blue coloring as well; Dubbed the Great White Sharks. Really good look on these.

Nike Lebron 9 "Cool Grey"

The Nike Lebron 9 is quickly becoming one of the highest sought-after Nike sneakers on the market now. With great coloways like the "China's" "Christmas'" and "Cannons". This is another new colorway that will DEFINITELY have Nike Lebron 9 lovers going crazy. The Lebron 9 is now the newest sneaker to go down the Cool Grey road. This Lebron 9 features and all Grey and White upper. VERY nice looking sneaker.

Nike Air Force 1 "The Gift"

Nike sportswear and Nike Air Force have come up with a new holiday themed sneaker for the commencing time. These consist of a black upper, brown speckled midsole, khaki sole, and red Nike swoosh. They also have a little white and red gift box decal on the back heel of the shoe. Pretty good look; Release info. is currently unavailable.

Nike Zoom KD 4 "Year Of The Dragon"

In addition to the Nerf's and Weatherman's, Nike has finished it's design on the newest KD release. This Zoom KD has a very sick looking blue and orange colorway to it. A lot of wavy design to the strap and what seems to be some flywire in the mix. Release date on these are still undisclosed so we'll be waiting for these.

Air Jordan 8's (Game Worn & Autographed)

These bad boys were autographed AND worn in a game Sir Airness himself, Michael Jordan.

Fabolous x No Competition 3: Death comes in 3's.

Loso is hitting us with what seems like the final part to the trilogy known as "No Competition". He released this mixtape today and I have not had a chance to listen yet so I wouldn't know rather to recommend it or not. No Competition part1 and 2 were great so I'm sure this is going to be another banger !

Asics Gel Lyte 3 (2012 Sneak Peek).

Asics plans to continue with their success in 2012. They have released some sneak peeks of future colorways to come and this one here is one of the most recent. It offers a "Bred" colorway with a grey speckled midsole. Also, the red isn't your usual Varsity Red; It's more of an Infrared. Great look; hopefully releasing some time in January.

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga II "Mazarine Blue"

After a very VERY good year for Asics, Ronnie Fieg is going to release one last Asics to close out the 2011 year. This is a little different design from past Asics releases but I still eye candy regardless. This is a Gel Saga 2 in a very unique color. Looks like a mix of purple and blue that's been dubbed "Mazarine Blue". These are set to release on December 29th.

New Jordan Brand Packaging for 2012.

Jordan Brand has decided to change up the way they contain their shoes for distribution next year. Not too many changes but the changes that will be made are significant in looks. Fresh new look. I'm feeling it.

10.Deep Holiday Collection

10.Deep is a New York based streetwear label that has a lot of great apparel and design that's taking the fashion world by storm. I am personally a huge fan and they are worth taking a look into if you want to stay on top of your game. Go to Karmaloop.com , Styleengine.com , & 10deep.com/store/ for more details.

Air Jordan 5 "Tiffany" (Customs)

Got another custom for you guys ! This custom is brought to you from Proof Culture. This custom, an Air Jordan 5 and other sneakers like the Nike SB "Tiffany" Dunk were inspired by the Diamond Supply Co. Both of these sneakers consist of a very stylish teal color along with hints of black and white. VERY nice looking custom.

Air Jordan 12 "Playoffs"

JB is bringing the heat in 2012 with the slated release of the Air Jordan 12 "Playoffs". This is a retro of the classic black and white leather colorway. This is one for the ages and should be added to any sneaker collectors collection regardless if it's these or an older version. I can tell these are gonna be a huge hit come Spring of 2012.

Nike Lebon 9 "Metallic Silver"

Looks like we got another colorway of the Lebron 9. This colorway consists of a cool grey and black upper with a white sole and white Nike Swoosh. Very sleek looking design set to release some time in 2012.
