Converse EB1

Converse Wade 4Yesterday we showed you the  Converse Wade 4; however, Converse has another superstar on its roster dropping his first ever signature sneaker. The Converse EB1, Elton Brand’s first shoe, has been spotted on Converse’s online store. We’ve also seen Brand sporting these in the NBA preseason games.

Inspired by the Philadelphia 76ers colorway (Brand’s new team), these sneakers feature a black and red leather upper and a rubber outsole. The midfoot strap supposedly locks down the foot for reliable support and stability.

Which Converse signatures are better: Converse Wade 4 or Converse EB1?

You can snag these sneakers at Converse for $64.99.

Nike Air Griffey Max Retro Releasing

Nike Air Griffey MaxWhen Ken Griffey Jr. was in his prime he was an awesome fielder, had a canon arm, was a smooth base runner, and a swing so perfect it earned him his nickname “Swingman.” Back when he first signed his Nike contract “Junior” got his own signature shoes and they were some of the best looking pieces of sole to be made for the Mariner bomber.  Finally, after years of waiting, and major career accomplishments achieved, the Griffeys are coming back.

The first catalog images of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 made it to the web showcasing the original Seattle Mariner’s colorway. Griffey has been wearing player exclusive versions of the Air Griffey Max this season which lifted many eye brows in the sneaker circle.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Laser

Converse Wade 4 United We RiseThis pair is very mysterious it popped up at Marqueesole.com in a full size run. Makes me wonder what is the story behind this pair and the detail is amazing on it. The shoe is cut as a “High” which is very good to see at this point with JB finally looking to feel more “OG”. The gum sole is also a refreshing look on a Air Jordan 1 and the lasering makes this pair look rather lovely. The shoe is set to be released in November for Jordan so be on the look out at your urban accounts for these puppies.

Air Jordan 1 Hi Doernbecher Freestyle “Mr.Boober”

Doernbecher Air Jordan HiDoernbecher Children’s Hospital has been working with Nike every year to help raise money to fund research and basic operations. Every year as you all know five shoes from the Doernbacher series drop and the money from those sales are contributed to the hospital. These were designed by Tony Taylor Jr., nicknamed Mr. Boober, who battled Nephrotic Syndrome and underwent a successful kidney transplant at the hospital.

Jayson Mayden and Estelle Maranan guided Tony with his vision of the project and the inspirations took inspiration from the very experiences of his life.

These are the second Air Jordans to be part of the Doernbecher Freestyle project.  Last year we saw the Doernbecher Air Jordan 2.

This shoe will release November 14th along with four other Doernbecher children designed shoes. Thanks to SoleCollector for the pictures and story.
