Dom Kennedy x From The Westside, With Love 1 & 2

Dom Kennedy is another up and coming West Coast artist. He continues to have that smooth feel to his music like most new west coast artists but Dom's music is more for the soulful, likes-to-have-fun, individual rather than the self conscious. Either way, his music is great and worth taking a listen to. His 2 most popular mixtapes are "From The Westside, With Love" and his sequel to that tape, "From The Westside, With Love 2".

Air Yeezy 2's release date POSTPONED.

After waiting so long to find out the confirmed release date of one of the highest anticipated sneakers of 2012, the date is now fictional. The set date for the release of the Air Yeezy 2 was April 13th, but now since we've caught word, the date has now been broken. The Yeezy 2's have been postponed and the release has been pushed back till further notice. Looks like we're gonna' have to keep waiting and stay patient.

Ronnie Fieg x ASICS GT-2 "Super Red 2"

One of the first Ronnie Fieg & Asics collaborations, and one of the most well known, were a Gel Lyte 3 release by the name of the "Super Reds". Ronnie and Asics have decided to, not retro, but to make a new design of the Super Reds and release them for a sequel following the success of the Super Reds. The Super Red 2's will be released in the GT-2 design instead of the Gel Lyte 3; but it's still going to be a very sought after shoe once a release date is confirmed.

Air Jordan 5 "Aquas" (Custom)

Most of the customs that have been made have been Jordan Retros, this is no exception. But what is new about this custom is that most before it were made out of Retro 6's, this is the first Retro 5 custom we've seen in a while. This custom is simple but still a pretty clean look. It was originally the "Grape" 5's but now the white leather has been painted black and the lace-eyelids painted mismatched teal and purple. Clean look to them.

Nike Air Penny 5

The Nike Air Penny line has been very successful over the last couple years, especially with the release and success of the Air Foamposite. Nike has just finished making the new Air Penny 5, which is a continuing sequel to all the past released Penny's. Maybe the release of the Penny 5 will calm down some of the hype over all the foamposite releases. The Penny 5 has it's classic 90's look & feel but will possibly come with today's new-age technology. A release date has not been confirmed or even rumored yet but these will definitely be kept on the radar.

ANOTHER RUMOR MY SNEAKER FIENDS !! It has become a tradition for JB (Jordan Brand) to release a retro 11 every December since the Space Jam release of 2009.

Azad Right x It's All Right

50th Anniversary of the 100 point game.

Congratulations to Wilt Chamberlain. One of the greatest basketball players in NBA History.

3rd colorway of the Air Yeezy 2 set to be made.

Next to the Air Jordan "Columbia" 11's, the Air Yeezy 2's will most likely be in the tops of the lists for most anticipated sneakers of 2012. So far, colorways of the original Black & Pink and "Zen Grey" have been confirmed, made, and showcased on the new Yeezy 2's. But now, a new colorway has been confirmed to be released. Kanye has decided to make a "Bred" (Black and Red) colorway of his Yeezy 2's with inspiration from his favorite Air Jordan, the Air Jordan "Bred" Retro 6. March 23rd is the release date so this should be an exciting showcase.

Nike Air Foamposite "Electro-Galaxy" (Customs)

This does not surprise me. With all the hype and limited quantities of the Galaxy Foamposites, A custom of them made out of another foamposite to use as a substitute for missing out on them was bound to happen. The person who customized this sneaker is unknown but whoever it is, they did a pretty good job. They took an Electrolime Foamposite to use for the base and redid the whole sneaker; Gave it a very similar look to the Galaxy Foamposites. The only difference was that he/she was only able to use a clear sole .. instead of the original glow-in-the-dark sole.

Air Jordan 12 "Siren Red" (GS)

Grade School or GS sized retro Jordans have been popular as of lately. They have usually been retro 6's in the past but now, we have have a retro 12 grade school sneaker. The last time there was a GS retro 12 was back in 2009 after the release of the Cherry 12's. These "Siren Red" 12's consist of a mostly black nubuck upper with hints of red on the inside and "Jumpman" tag on the side panels. A release date has not been determined yet.
