Reebok DGK R.A.D Collection

A few weeks have past since we first presented the Reebok R.A.D collection, but a new picture has popped up in collaboration with DGK. We mentioned that the R.A.D collection first debuted and was Reebok’s first attempt at skateboarding.

In addition, we also noted that R.A.D stood for Reebok Advanced Design, a name that definitely suited the advanced ideas created by Reebok. Pictured above are the R.A.D low and mid, two designs previously seen in the past R.A.D post. Now available at Reebok retailers. Via hs.

Nike “Multicolor Patent” Pack – Dunk High

The Nike Fall 2008 “Multi-color Patent” Dunk High is colorful but less colorful than its counterpart, the Nike Air Max 90. We have discussed about the Nike Fall 2008 Multicolor Patent Air Max 90 shoe in a previous post.

This Dunk High has a white toe box that has lines of perforation radiating from a central point. This toe box is surrounded by a shiny blue colored leather mudguard. The blue color is very cool. The midsection of the shoe is in smooth, white leather.

The shoe lace panel and lace are white. This shoe has many major areas in white. The Nike swoosh is yellow. This coordinates with the inner lining of the shoe, which is also yellow. There is a large panel of red colored leather at the heel of the shoe.

The midsole of the shoe is white and red. The top half of the midsole is white while the bottom half is red. There is a line of machine stitches running across the white portion of the midsole.

This shoe has white, red, blue and yellow colors. The colors have been widely spaced and separated by white areas, so that the shoe looks clean. This looks traditional enough to be used as a formal shoe.

Hands down the only name that comes to mind at the thought of Football video games, EA Sports’ Madden commemorates 20 years with the team-licensed mode, the Recline PH. The Recline PH has been uniquely designed to feature covers from previous years and also includes a play-book motif on the upper. It has been rumored that these will be very limited and possibly not be released to the public, but nothing is for sure at this moment. Via Sole Collector.

Sandstorm Air Force Ones

Chris Hui from C2 Customs is back at it again with a new pair of custom Air Force Ones. These sneakers are called the Sandstorms and represent the desert colors worn by soldiers in the Middle East. Hui has used his experience with past camo customs as well as close direction from his clients to create another fantastic pair of customs.

Hui used the familiar tan, green and brown color worn by soldiers in Iraq as the primary color used throughout these Air Force Ones. The middle panel as well as the toe box are matched with the color used on the interior lining of this shoe. I think that the Sandstorms are fantastic testaments to the colors worn by soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

These pictures were found at the C2 Customs website linked here. Readers can head to the website to check out additional pictures of the Sandstorm Air Forces and look at shoes available in the C2 Customs shop.

Air Jordan 20 (XX) Countdown Pack Detailed Look

Today is a great day for those of us interested in upcoming Air Jordan Countdown Packs, since we have a few pairs to show you. Here is the Air Jordan 20 (XX) Retro Countdown Pack, different from any Jordan 20 ever to release.

As we can see, the Air Jordan 20 (XX) Retro Countdown Pack will not contain the patent leather toe box, but instead it looks like Jordan Brand used nubuck, while the sneaker is finished off with all black including the laser print. A nice change some may say, but everyone has a different opinion. Available now at Sole-Locker.

Air Jordan Force Fusion 3 (III) White / University Blue Sunset Released

When we first exposed the Air Jordan Force Fusion 3 (III) White / University Blue Sunset, mixed emotions were thrown left and right, and although more people disliked this color-way then liked, some will be happy to hear they finally are releasing at Jordan Brand retailers.

What some have criticized Jordan Brand back some years ago for having a fake pair of Jordans in a group photo for their catalog, many have said this is the actual pair. Check your local dealers for this pair, but retail is $134.99.

Soar x Luca Lighca Exclusive - #1

I am a big fan of boat shoes for a casual summer look, especially when they are done in interesting colors and textures. Italian company Luca has teamed up Soar to creat this version of the boat shoe in a bright yellow ostrich skin.

The shoe has a Chukka-liike appeal and is definitely different. If you are looking for a summer shoe that will turn some heads, this one is a good choice. This Soar x Luca collaboration is available exclusively to Zozo retailer Lighca. You can pre-order right now for ¥19,740 yen (about $183 USD). That’s a lot of cash for a boat shoe … but hey, it’s ostrich skin. Via Hypebeast.
