Twenty years ago today 8-28-2003, Air Rev, SlamED -Russ Bengston, Alex Retro Kid, Chris Hall, Ari, Dukki and DJ Mighty Mi put together one of the best footwear events quite possibly of all time called Fresh Out The Box. Bobbito, Just Blaze, Sway and a bunch of others showed up for the event if...
So if you've been around a long while then you'll know good and well about these three shoes.
Over the past 20+ years photo's of these shoes have surfaced here and there and were documented in a book 'Trainers' by Author Neal Heard. Some speculate they are just OG customizations while others...
Been waiting for a proper retro of this color way for the past 10 years (with 2005 being the last good retro). Seems like they are back for 2015 but colors on the upper appear off, shape of the shoe itself looks off and and the air unit is super tiny anyone see these in stores yet or have...
With the Avia thread kicked off wanted to spark a thread on another brand that only the European forums seem to talk about, Ellesse. Feel free to post any memories, photo's etc. here. I'll update as the weeks go on
Man, if there's one brand I remember from the 80's and 90's pumping out some dope models its Avia. Seems as though their more of a budget brand these days but I'd love to see some of their classics return. Here's some of my favorites
A limited run in the original Sega Genesis case will be distributed to several shops around the world in the coming weeks. Right now Extra Butter NY RVC and LES locations have it
with other stores to be posted in the coming weeks. For those of you that are unable to track one down you...
So there was a thread posted up a few years ago (here is the post http://niketalk.com/t/327754/has-anybody-worn-these-ektio-ankle-turn-proof-shoes-they-cost-199) about a fairly new company named Ektio and it seemed as though some people were skeptics about the promiseto protect basketball...

With the Blacktop line to return in 2014 I figured now was a good time to get this started. The Blacktop line started in 1991 and included pump and non pump shoes. Reebok had Nike rushing to come up with an answer which would go on to be the Nike Air Raid. You can't mention a Blacktop Reebok...
Was at Nike's offices today and spotted a Black Cement Jordan III retro with Nike Air branding on the heel. When I asked if they were coming out or not he said they are NOT confirmed for release as of now but said I could shoot video of the Sample so here it is. This is not a grey market shoe...
So recently I was fortunate enough to interview the designer of the Reebok Pump Fury Steven Smith. I've posted some of the interview below and you check out the entire interview here...
Didn't see this posted yet but if it was please lock it up. Was at the Jordan XX8 event in NYC last night and caught a few shots of this back pack Tinker was wearing. Its made of carbon fiber. I asked him if it would ever go into production he just laughed and said marketing felt it would be...
Airwalk invited the DeFY. crew (as well as many others) out to premiere for the documentary We Out Here at The Hole. Place was packed, MTV's Sway moderated a panel discussion that included: Ron Brodie (“We Out Here” director), Alex Corporan (NYC Skateboarding legend/Already Famous Ambassador)...
Just got word of this and contest name aside, I think its a good look for anyone of you who's currently enrolled in a full or part-time undergraduate or graduate educational program at a fully accredited college or university in the contiguous United States.
Enter the contest...
