The first September footwear releases from Nike SB have begun to trickle into stores. The latest drop consists of solid new colorways in each of the Dunk Hi, Blazer Hi, and Stefan Janoski pro-model, with our tastes leaning towards the deep red low top. The stitched swoosh outline on the grey suede Blazer is also a welcome change. All shoes are now available for pre-order from CCS.
After presenting the Surface 2 Air Fall/Winter 2009 Collection the other day, we give you more detailed views of their sneaker offering for the new season today. Just like with their clothing, the Parisian brand also shows different faces in their footwear offering. From more sporty, surf inspired canvas sneakers to more refined high top leather sneakers the collection is pretty complete. The colors on the canvas shoes are different than what we are used to see from most other brands – if you like that kind of “different” you have to decide for yourself. Opinions here vary. Overall we do like the collection though, especially the suede styles.
With all the free flowing creativity in shoe design lately , this is one concept, I would love to see actually created, because I would certainly wear them. Diego Dolcini came close to the idea. I get goosebumps just thinking about it…via ndeurblog. More images on the next page.
Sony rolls out a new, much smaller, much lighter PS 3. Dubbed the PlayStation 3 Slim, the new model also eats up way less energy and contains more memory than the original. Available this September starting at $300 USD for a 120GB model. Rumor has it a 250GB is also in the pipeline. You can pre-order now from Amazon.
Bape has released the Bape Sta 88 Hi Rainbow. The high top sneaker comes with a white base and different color patent leather accents. Knowing Bape, a rainbow theme sneaker could have turned out much more colorful. Anyways, these are now available in Bape stores around the globe. I Don't Know About These People!!!
Nixon has been for a while now one of only a few interesting mid-range price watch companies on the market and with the recent push in interesting models, that will not change any time soon. Most impressed so far, we are with their new Elite Ceramic Collection for Fall 2009. Entirely Swiss Made, they present the 51-30 divers watch and the Player model with complete ceramic cases. The 51-30 comes in two sizes in all white, featuring a ceramic bezel and strap. The Player comes in black and in white with the watch case and strap coming in ceramic. Obvious other features include the scratch resistant saphire glass, Swiss movement and much more. These features of course do not come cheap. Expect the 51-30 to be more than 2000 USD retail. Look out for the new watches in stores soon.
Known as’ Comme des Garçons Play for Converse ‘the latest collaboration between Comme des Garcons and Converse will be available in october, and includes four styles styles. Two high tops and two oxfords. According to a spokesperson, “Converse has a long history of being on the feet of those who have chosen to disrupt the status quo”.
”The collaboration was born out of Rei Kawakubo’s affection for a particular Chuck Taylor All Star model from the Converse archives that was originally produced in the Fifties for the U.S. Army. Using details from that model, Converse and Kawakubo came up with the four prototypes, which will retail for $100 each. Available at the end of August in Comme des Garçons stores in New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong and Seoul, including select retailers that sell Comme des Garçons Play, and in October, distribution will grow with a second launch in the same Comme des Garçons stores as well as top Converse retailers in the U.S., Canada and China.”-via wwd.
After a previous collaboration with Japanese women’s label, SLY, on a limited edition Terminator in March, SLY is back in the collaboration game with Nike to produce two models, a mid top and a low top version, of the Air Troupe. Both brands decided to go with an 80s retro vibe, drawing inspiration from the booming hip-hop culture three decades ago. The shoes are colorful in a mix of neons and bright colors crafted from suede, leather and canvas.
The low-top version is more colorful in a bright blue canvas with purple and neon green accents, featuring a non-slip ankle patch to support all activities and moves for the girls who dance. The mid-top version is more subtle in a black canvas upper with the same purple and neon accents, with a cutout stretchable ankle strap that make slipping into the shoes easier.
These shoes will be available for purchase starting Sep 5 at four SLY locations in Taipei, Taiwan, and will be available at select Nike retailers starting Sep 19.
Release Dates: September 5th (Saturday), September 19th (Saturday)
