Sneak Peek: Supra Terry Kennedy Pro Model
November 19th, 2008 in Sneakers by Lars
Woops. Someone leaked Terry Kennedy’s pro model Supra shoe. Looks like TK’s got the shin-itchin’ high-cut syndrome too, giving Kanye’s Air Yeezy some competition. Look for these to drop in the upcoming months, unless of course some lawsuit comes from this and the shoe release gets put on hold.

Nike SB “Mosquito” Dunk Low - A Closer Look
November 14th, 2008 in Sneakers by Lars
The Nike SB “Mosquito” Dunk Low Premium made a buzz a few weeks ago as word leaked that it was a limited edition Quickstrike that would only be available at select accounts. Well, apparently someone got their hands on it and has it up on eBay, a size 11 for $200 to be exact. Incredibly detailed, the shoe is made of suede, patent leather, and nubuck and features a half translucent red/half speckled green sole, a cartoon mosquito printed on the insole, a Band-aid resemblant perforated skin-toned/lime green/blood red color-up and areas of 3M reflective material. There’s also hints of gray and baby blue. Click “Read more” below to view detailed photos. If you’re a size 11, make your move, if not, keep an eye out for these to drop at select accounts over the next few weeks. We’ll keep you posted if we hear anything.

Rockport Buffalo Plaid Mandela
November 14th, 2008 in Sneakers by Lars
Can’t hate on grandpa’s kicks no more. Been-there footwear label Rockport just hit our radar with their black leather/suede Buffalo Plaid Mandela. Apart from the sleek silhouette, the soft touch of plaid on the heel is the neck breaker, but without the ‘overdone headache’. If you’re not feeling the lumberjack black/red color-up, there’s a pristine perforated leather pair with black/white plaid. View detailed images below. $95

Nike AF1 Supreme Weatherproof - Olive/Khaki
November 13th, 2008 in Sneakers by Lars
With the colors we’ve been seeing lately, it’s no wonder that Nike’s AF1 (Air Force 1) is one of the most popular sneakers, if not the most popular, to come from the Nike camp. We filled you in on the AF1 Supreme Canvas Pack, now we have this Olive/Khaki AF1 Supreme that is “weatherproof”. With a mix of innovative materials in the upper, these shoes will keep the weather where it belongs - outside your shoes. Another new material, dubbed 0.44 Sticky Rubber, is used in the sole for traction, so it’ll keep you from slipping in the sleet, snow and rain during these tough weather months. View more images below and call up HUF for a phone order or swing by the shop. $150

Nike Air Force 1 Supreme ‘07 - Blue Canvas
November 11th, 2008 in Sneakers by Lars
A few weeks ago, we gave you a HUF sneaker update that included the Nike Air Force 1 Supreme in gray and red canvas, now HUF received the blue color-up. Out of the all of AF1’s produced, this Canvas Pack provides a serious face lift on the all-too-common leather get-ups. Also take notice of the reverse stitching, which hides the threads and provides an incredibly smooth blend of the canvas. Call up HUF for a phone order if you can’t make to the store. Right now there’s a decent size-run, but not for long. $150
