Air Force Friday: Philly Air Force 1 Low 2005

Nice Kicks — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:54:01 +0000

Throughout the years that Nike has released Air Force Ones, special edition City Series Editions have popped up from time to time. Initially the two coasts got their shine with NYC and LA Air Force 1’s, but one city that was very important to the history of this iconic model is Philadelphia.

Nike showed love with Philly in 2005 with the release of the Philly Nike Air Force 1 that came in patriotic colors and called out to an important piece of the city’s and our nation’s history, the Liberty Bell. Philadelphia received love again in the summer of 2006 with another colorway of the Philly Air Force 1 as well as being part of the City Series celebrated in 2007 with the 25th Anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1.

Everyone please have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Supra steadily drops crazy and innovative colorways. If you need proof, check out the Fall 2009 Lineup. One silhouette that has avoided the crazy outlandish, and stuck with the simple, is the Jim Greco Pro Model.

This Supra Thunder has been seen in an all Royal colorway, as well as an all black. Now, this all Grey Suede model is available at Factory413. The Thunder is a minimalistic silhouette which features Suprafoam, an embossed tongue logo, and the popular vulcanized sole. The premium suede model you see here will set you back $90.

Nick Engvall — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:03:43 +0000

The WTAPS and Vans partnership is nothing new. Last summer they teamed up for some fresh designs, including a trio of Bash makeups. It looks as if their efforts were worthy, because they have teamed up once again for a Summer 2009 Collection.

This WTAPS x Vans Syndicate Collection includes a few silhouettes, including the Bash, in a new colorway. The other two silhouettes of choice are the Rudeez, and Greaserz, both of which are low cut dress shoe inspired sneakers. The Rise Above moniker, and the WTAPS logo have been tastefully applied to each of the three silhouettes. The collection is now available at The-Glade.

Nike Air Max ST New Colorways

Nick Engvall — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:18:03 +0000

The return of the Nike Air Max ST has been long awaited by many, the classic Hot Red colorway will likely be on many cop lists.

This Nike Air Max ST comes from that early 90’s era of Nike Running, where it seemed everything they produced turned to gold. Along with the Hot Red colorway, a new Dark Grey colorway has also now become available at Purchaze. Though the weak dollar brings the price up to about $180, it might be worth it for those that collect running shoes.

Click here to see both colorways.
