As sneaker enthusiast, we all know the shoe world is always evolving into new and innovative styles. One year high top sneakers may be the ‘in’ thing only to change to low-cut sneakers the next year. One constant theme that we have seen this year is the vulcanized sole.

Believe it or not, some of your favorite kicks have applied the vulcanized sole such as the Dunk, the Air Flight Lite High and various Jordan sneakers. With that said, our staff dug into the archives to see which sneakers are actually compatible with the ever-so-popular vulcanized sole. How do you feel about the vulcanized inflation?

At the height of the deadstock hype, a pair of $100 Air Jordan 3 Retros from 2001 went for as much as $800! Consumption patterns have clearly changed as sought after OG’s are seen going for similar rates to their retro counterparts. In addition, re-sellers are now taking hits by selling them for less than retail. With that said, are the days of deadstock dead? Nice Kicks offers a quick autopsy of what might have killed deadstock.

D.C. rapper Wale has become a known staple in the world of  sneaker fashion. Likewise, his place in hip hop is steadily increasing mixtape after mixtape. However, Wale has now unleashed his album Attention Deficit today, November 10th, 2009 (you can buy it here).

To coincide with his Attention Deficit album release, our staff decided to fuse his album title with his recognizable sneaker fetish. We have spotted Wale in an abundance of different, classic sneakers; however, we compiled a list of the top 10 sneakers that caught our ‘Attention’. He has been a mainstay in our Celebrity Sneaker Stalker, so we dug into the archives to showcase the heat on his feet.

When the Yankees wrapped up their 27th World Series, A-Rod got himself a ring, Joe Girardi got the doubters off his case, and New York placed themselves back on top yet again.

Given the sheer size of Yankee Nation, there are a lot of feet that need to be dressed in Yankee blue. And since the parades and celebrations will carry on all weekend and then some, you’re going to need a fresh pair of kicks to match that Champions shirt. That being said, we’ve assembled this list of 27 sneakers in navy, grey and white to help you show your die-hard fanhood, or to match that fitted you bought online midway through game six.

Bobbito Garcia has been a staple in the shoe game and its community for quite some time. He has been the spearhead in collabs with major brands such as Nike, Reebok and Under Armour. Now, the legend that some of you know as DJ Cool Bob Love has now come together with Pro-Keds for his spin on the classic Royal Flash model. Everyone knows that that Bobbito usually has the Midas touch when it comes to collaborations as evident by these photos of the aforementioned Royal Flash.

While everyone can see the great result of the Bobbito Royal Flash, not too many people know the history and the thought process that went into making this classic. Nice Kicks sat down with Bobbito, the author of the Sneaker Bible “Where’d you Get Those”, to get a better understanding of the history and culture that both him and the Royal Flash carries.
