Nike Lebron 9 "Liverpool" (Final Version)

A low top Lebron 9 was surfaced some time ago that was themed after the Liverpool FC soccer team. To my knowledge, that was the first sample and now they have been modified. Nike has decided to scrap the logos and emblems and just keep the low top Lebron 9 resembling Liverpool's team colors. A release date has not yet been determined.

Now, we got another young son on the rise; His name is Joey Bada$$, straight out of  Brooklyn , New York. His tape, 1999, is full of sick lyrics, mean flow, and an awesome beat selection.

In tribute to KD's success, Nike is releasing a KD 4 dubbed the "Scoring Title". These will be released on July 21, 2012 & will retail for $95.

New Balance 574 "Grey Suede Pack"

The 574 is one of the most well known and promoted sneaker series from New Balance. It has been featured with MANY different designs, patterns, themes, and color schemes. This pack is one of my personal favorites. New Balance took the 574's and gave them a simple yet delectable look; Using rich grey suede, they gave them hits of different colored meshes. A great look, expect these to hit many New Balance retailers now that they've surfaced in New Balance stores overseas in Asia.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Miami Nights" (Custom)

It's been a while since we've seen a custom done with a Nike foamposite base. In my eyes, we're well overdue for one. With that being acknowledged, SmoothTip is here with a greatly done custom foamposite. He used the Nike Air Foamposite Pro "University Blue" for the base and gave it a well known color scheme. He took the same colorway of the Nike Lebron 8 V2 "Miami Nights" and put it on these foamposites. Overall .. a beautiful looking sneaker.

Air Jordan 13 "Draft Day" (Custom)

The 2012 NFL Draft had some of the best talent from college football in a long time; Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Marcus Gilchrist, etc. Mache has made a custom sneaker for Gilchrist in the past and now he's made another one honoring the newest drafted football player to the NFL. This custom has some of the most unorthodox colors you'll ever see on one pair of sneakers before, ranging mostly from Gilchrist's college football days from Clemson. Best part of the shoe, in my opinion, is the toe box. The toe box is covered in a decal representing the NFL Draft and Gilchrist getting drafted to the San Diego Chargers.

Air Jordan 1 "Dave White" (Custom)

The Dave White 1's are definitely one of the most inventive sneakers I've ever seen made by any brand. If being loud or flashy with your shoes is your thing, the Dave White 1's should be in your collection. Mache is here with another custom based on the same idea. He took a "Phat" low top Retro 1 and gave it a "Dave White" custom paint job. These are some of his best works.

Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul x "Daughters" Freestyle


Air Jordan 9 "French Blue"

One of the best Air Jordan Retros ever released and the best retro 9, at least in my opinion, were the French Blue 9's. They first were retroed back on May 4, 2002 and created quite a stir. They are now planning to re-retro them again this year, with a little different look. The speak for themselves mostly but one main huge noticeable change is the sole. The sole on these samples are a milky clear white. Rumor has it, they might glow in the dark but nothing's certain. A release date or final product has not been confirmed yet but these are ones to look out for.

New Balance 577 "Farmers Market Pack"

New Balance has been on a rant of composing great idea in the form of PACKS. The Neon Pack set to release soon, The Backpack Collection, and now the Farmers Market pack. This pack contains the 577 series from New Balance collaborated with Farmers Market. A lot of materials make up these pairs such as suede, nubuck, canvas, and mesh. One colorway is a subtle two-tone green and brown while the other is a deep blue and burgundy. What makes these pop is the "Farmers Market" tag on the tongue. These are set to release on October 1st of this year.

El Cappy takes the Jordan retro 5 and puts a mixed of different arranged flowers on it, hence the named "Floral" 5's. These are absolutely beautiful.

Nike Air Foamposite One "Black/Red/Metallic Gold" (Sample)

A sample of a new foamposite by Nike Basketball has arisen from the ashes. An all black with red and gold accents is the basis of this sample. What makes this sample crazy, is that the black upper is assorted with the metallic gold .. sort of looks like gold dust spattered over the black if you look close enough. These are rumored to be accompanying the "Gym Green" foamposites on the release day but it's not confirmed yet.

This is one we haven't seen a long while, a Nike Air Pippen 1. Nike is soon to release another Pippen 1 with a very cool theme behind it.
