Sneaker Shop Shout-Out

nightwing2303 — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:43:11 +0000

One of the Bay Area’s leading independent online sneaker shops will soon be celebrating their grand opening of a physical retail store!

What started off as a side project for a few lucky local (if you’re from the Bay Area) Sneakerheads nearly 3 years ago has quickly become a staple for those of us who still yearn for that missing piece(s) to our ever growing collections. Creating a blog and advertising on Craigslist… that’s how every business get started right? Well, not really… but for Sole Supremacy it has become a reality. Retaining their blog and posting updates daily as well as opening up an eBay store was only the beginning…

Hit the jump for more!

The guys over Sole Supremacy carry those hard to find gems that we search for far and wide, everything from Nike to Jordan & Nike SB. OGs, Retro’s, DS, VNDS & used; you name it, they’ve got it. Buy, Sell & Trade… there are even consignment options available so you don’t have to worry about the hassle of flakers and deadbeat bidders. Let’s not forget the most important thing (besides the shoes), their premium customer service. Personally, I’ve been a fan since the Craigslist days… and things have only gotten better. 100% authentic kicks, great prices and limitless ways to go about obtaining that one pair you’ve had your eye on. They even ship to those who reside throughout the US. This is how a good sneaker spot becomes a great one.

For those of you interested, the new Store will open up across from the NewPark Mall in Newark, CA. We will be updating you on the opening of the shop as soon as it happens. Make sure to visit SoleSupremacy.com daily for updates on inventory and new items.

Hops Sportswear Exclusive Performance Review

nightwing2303 — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 03:22:23 +0000

Sneakerfiles was one of the first to report on the Hops Sportswear movement. A movement in which we as players can find not only a comfortable and reliable sneaker to give us the performance needs we crave, but to also keep our wallets in mind as well.

Hops uses nothing but the best materials including real full-grain leather for better support and all over feel, a CMEVA midsole for optimal cushion and impact absorption and a brand new patented technology feature- the ‘Medial Wing’- giving a player’s lateral movements the crucial support that one needs while making hard cuts to the basket as well as keeping your defensive stance completely stable while making your lateral movements more balanced and explosive.

SLAM Magazine has just released an in depth performance review that should keep any of the naysayers at bay. Click HERE to read the full report; it’s a very informative and pleasing read. We would also like to thank Hops Sportswear owner/ company director Matt Kaipuke for allowing us at Sneakerfiles to bring you this news first.

Li-Ning Jose Calderon PE

SpursMetsJets619 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:39:14 +0000

While most of us are aware of the Baron Davis Li-Ning signature sneaker series, he is not the only NBA player in a contract with the Chinese sneaker company. In fact, you can now add Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon to the list of NBA ballers with their own Li-Ning PE. Pictured here is number 8’s Li-Ning PE in a black/red colorway. It dons the Spanish point guard’s number 8 on the inside ankle area, while a small depiction of Calderon in his patented 3 fingers pose fills the top of the shoe’s tongue. Finally, the Li-Ning team pays homage to Calderon’s hometown of Spain by placing a silhouette of the country’s flag underneath the shoe’s sole. With no word of a stateside release, here are pictures of the shoe that might or might not make its way to the U.S. If you had the chance to, would you be inclined to try out a pair?
