Halloween Air Force 1s

There are a few holidays each year in which various sneaker companies release a special shoe or pack of shoes to celebrate the holiday and festivities. One of those holidays happens to be Halloween, a holiday in which Nike has created a number of special products to celebrate the day in the past. This year, Nike will release this “Savage Beast” Air Force 1 Low that features an upper completely covered in Orange Pony Hair. The Swoosh on the shoe comes in White and aside from that there isn’t much on the shoe that isn’t either Pony Hair or Orange or both. On the heel of the shoe the words “Savage Beast” are written. Expect these to be released sometime near the middle of October.

Nike SB Socks Dunk High Lucky & Unlucky


While the original release of the Nike SB Dunk High Lucky & Unlucky pack is long gone, Nike SB brings back the popular duo in sock form. Despite the high-top format of the originals, the socks come in the athletic “no-show” variety as they look to replicate several iconic elements such as the numbered aspect at the toebox/midfoot. Available now at In4mation.

The recent Nike Trainer renaissance has already seen the re-release of some classic models, as well as the introduction of the new Trainer 1 model.

In addition to the Tecmo Bo collection that we have previewed, we will also see the return of the Air Trainer SC in its original colorway. These are expected to arrive some time in August, so start keeping your eyes open for one of the premiere Nike Retro releases of the year and if you’re really anxious, you can reserve your pair now on eBay.

adidas Skateboarding “Diagonal” Campus Mid Vulc


To mark adidas Skateboarding’s straight-to-web video “Diagonal”, a special make-up of the Campus Mid Vulc was created. The movie created by the European faction of adidas SB features many of the team’s well-known riders Dennis Busenitz, Mark Gonzales, Tim O’Connor and Silas Baxter-Neal in addition to the likes of Chewy Cannon, Marcos Gomez, Seb Daurel, Lem Villemin and Benny Fairfax. The shoe itself follows the traditional vulcanized construction with an interesting color blocking. The majority of the shoe is black but as you hit the back, colors are injected in an overlapping sequence. The video can be seen here.

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro

Nike SB’s fall lineup is looking quite sharp. Be that as it may, there’s about a 100% chance that someone will say these are no good, which is roughly the same chance that someone will bemoan the lack of a puffy tongue on this latest release. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro pictured above is clearly in its sample form (sans puffy tongue), but the colour scheme is still dope. These have a burgendy suede upper with a white leather toe and metallic gold leather Swoosh. The highlight here, of course, is the multicoloured pattern on the ankle collar and tongue that slightly resembles a pre-Coogi Bill Cosby sweater. These should drop soon stateside, but you can grab them today from EST Premium.
