Nike Air Max 90 Pecan/Black

The Air Max 90 is by far one of Nike's best shoes in my opinion. This classic design is synonymous amongst sneakerheads everywhere. That being said, when new colorways drop they aren't around very long. I suspect the same from the latest drop which features pecan leather, black trim, and strong royal blue accents. A must have for Air Max 90 lovers out there.

Now available at Titolo.

Air Jordan 3 Retro - White/Cement

Just a week ago we saw the much hyped release of the Air Jordan XI "Cool Greys". Now the Jordan Brand is at it again with another stellar release. The Air Jordan 3 is quite possibly one of my favorite shoes. Its symbolic of everything I love about shoes and basketball all rolled into one. They remind me of my youth and the golden era of basketball. Like 1988 when MJ was rockin these all the way to a win at the Slam Dunk Contest. Classic!

Even if you aren't a Jordan fan I think this is a must have shoe for your collection. They will be available at select retailers on 1/22/11 for $150. Are you going to cop a pair?

Nike Sportswear is definitely keeping it fresh for the ladies this Fall. Not only fresh but unique as well. The three shoes pictured above are all made in part with recycled magazines, shredded and reconvened to create the Flash Macro Premium, Blazer Mid Premium, and the Air Rift Premium.

Much like some of our processes at Kirin, each piece in this limited collection varies from one another. Due to the creative nature of this project the one-of-a-kind look of each shoe is very alluring. Finally ladies, a shoe made just for you!

Swizz Beatz x Reebok "Grape Juice"

Last month we gave you a glimpse at the Swizz Beatz x Reebok collaboration shoe. Now, a new colorway has emerged and its kind of killin the others. Swizz dropped these gems via his twitter page yesterday as further proof that his Reebok collabo is going to be well worth the wait. Still no release date but the anticipation is building. Good marketing job by Mr. Alicia Keys and Reebok. So what do you guys think? Grape Juice anyone???

Stussy X Nike All Court Mid Supreme

As a part of the 30th Anniversary Collection, legendary streetwear brand Stussy has teamed up with Nike to create the All Court Mid Supreme in Mysto Blue. The black leather version leaked a few days ago but I have to say, I like this colorway better. The shoe is very vibrant and features a brown suede reptilian-style swoosh, white sole, and mysto blue fabric. Such a great all purpose shoe. No release date just yet but there will be limited run so stay tuned for more details.

Adidas Originals Roundhouse

The Adidas Originals Roundhouse has just been released in a new colorway. It features numerous colors such as navy, orange, gray, and black. A gray strap covers the center of the shoe while the perforated orange Adidas logo dominates the tongue. This colorway marks the fourth that has hit stores in the past few months. A very sick shoe! Any colorway is a must have this Fall.

Nike Aina Chukka

I am very impressed with the new Nike Aina Chukka. It's a very sophisticated shoe. Premium leather with burgundy trim and an aqua marine blue sole. Each side of the shoe features one of my favorite trends normally seen in cuffs and other leather goods, the basket weave. Great Fall shoe for any sneakerhead. Now available at SIX FEET DOWN boutique in Stockholm.

Nike Sportwear x Harris Tweed Air Royal

A cool shoe is a cool shoe no matter how its constructed. That being said, I never thought I would see a cool shoe made partly with tweed. Nike has proven me wrong by collaborating with Scottish fabric manufacturer Harris Tweed to do just that. The Air Royal is extremely hot in my opinion. Classic, yet innovative and possibly groundbreaking. I wouldn't be surprised to see numerous shoes mimic this model in the months to come. Dope shoe! Do you agree?

Kixpo 2010

We've been pretty busy lately but we had to make time to check out Dallas's premiere sneaker expo, Kixpo. The drive was long and the weather was about 10 degrees shy of Hades but it was still a great time. Sponsors such as Vitamin Water, Taco Bell and Scion were on hand giving out samples and celebrating the culture with the crowd. Check out our pics after the break. Shouts to Process817 , Garrett & the Love Supreme Dream crew.

The 4th BBQ at Nice Kicks

We swung through Nice Kicks for their 4th of July weekend bbq on Saturday. Matt, Allison and the crew showed that hospitality the south is known for with free burgers, chips and drinks while BRMG DJ's Mike Swing & Protege held it down on the music tip. People streamed in and out all day and many-myslef inlcuded-took advantage of their surprise sale. Protege pimped out his custom logo piece carved & stained out of wood along with his custom Nike ID's, making folks jealous lol. It was all in all a good time.

Sneaks Up

In my younger years I was quite the sneakerhead. Sitting in the parking lot of Sharpstown Mall in Houston at 6am was where you could find me. If a new pair of Jordans were coming out, that is. That being said, I pose a question. Ever envision a place where ALL your sneaker dreams would come true? I did... And I think I found it. Last week the Kirin Fam was in full effect at the fourth annual Sneaks Up Fest in San Antonio, Tx. The hour drive down IH-35 was well worth it to see some of the freshest kicks and coolest kids showcase their style.

The event was held at The Industry in east San Antonio. A fairly large venue that seemed small once filled with some of the illest kicks ever created. Jordans, dunks, creative recs, supra's, pumas, adidas, yeezy's, the list goes on. Sneakerheads brought out the best of their collections for show & sale. Prices were steep but almost expected when collectors are parting with their favorite shoes. I asked about a pair of Jordans (of course) that just so happened to be $1700. Yea... Needless to say I didnt leave with a pair of J's!

All the tastemakers were out and the networking was great. Designers, shop keeps, and even a few vendors packed the house. If you missed it hopefully you can make the Sneaker Pimps show in ATL. If not, don't miss Sneaks Up next year.

All Day I Dream About....

Shoes! Thought I was going to say the other thing huh? Get your mind out of the gutter. I haven't copped a pair of the Run DMC inspired kicks in a minute. However, the new Adidas Originals Highrise is going to change all that. This new hi-top screams streetwear at its finest. The bold and innovative design has the customary 3-stripes perforated on each side of the shoe and well as the tongue. These kicks are absolutely ridiculous!!!

The expected release date in this month at all Adidas locations and select retailers. I think these kicks have the unique but old school look to become a classic shoe. Jordans, Air Force Ones, The Highrise? I've made my decision. What do you think?
