Sorry for the inconvenience.

Due to my hours increasing at New Balance as of lately for the upcoming Boston Marathon, Spring Season, and classes this semester, I have decided to take a hiatus from blogging on here. I've been finding myself overwhelmed with all types of work and I don't want to post half-hearted posts; I want to have free time to write the most intellectual and insightful posts I can here to be fair to the people who follow this blog. Until further notice, (most likely the early summer), do not expect constant feed from this blog. Follow my tumblr at mackleroy.tumblr.com to keep up with my sneaker related posts and follow me on twitter @_DeeRAW to keep up with spontaneous sneaker related news. My apologies again, and thank you for your patience.

We have some exciting news for Nike Skateboarding fans. We've found a preview of the March 2013 SB collection that will be releasing in various forms throughout the month. This collection features many models such as the Stefan Janoski, Nike Dunk, and SB Blazer. A lot of new colorways but also some that we've seen in the past. Expect these to pop up in many Nike SB retailers as the upcoming days and weeks pass.

Air Jordan 4 "Green Glow"

JB has been experimenting a lot with the Retro 4 lately. Taking the well known Jordan silhouette and testing arrays of colors and set schemes on them, mix-matching trying to find the magic. One result of it is a predominantly red suede 4 that will be releasing later on this year. Now, yet only a sample for now, is another recent test of their using grey and green as their main colors. Using dark grey, cement grey, and light green, this retro has been dubbed the "Green Glow" 4's. Rumor has it that they will be releasing in October for $160 but we'll let you guys know the confirmation once we get the word.

BEAMS (Spring/Summer 2013 Lookbook)

BEAMS has been around for a while and is well known for their recent collaborations. One of my favorites was the BEAMS x The North Face collaboration where they added purple NF logos to various North Face apparel. BEAMS has now released their lookbook for the Spring and Summer seasons of 2013. Here is a quick preview of it.

Air Jordan 5 "Aqua"

Every now and then, a sneaker brand has some ideas that sound great when they're abstract and in speech but turn out to be BEYOND sub-par. Jordan Brand is definitely no stranger to bad ideas; like the year when they released nothing but packages where one pair was great and the other was below average. Or like when they produced a surplus of hybrid Jordans like the "Six Rings" and "Son Of Mars". With that being said, another mishap may be in the making. One of the most popular Jordan's ever are the Grape 5's and they will be releasing fairly soon. But now, JB has decided to make an inverse of them and call them "Aqua" 5's. Brilliant idea or another bombshell? You be the judge.
