PARRA jus keeps em coming....ANOTHER collabo

Dutch artist PARRA has done it again. this collabo with Nike is for the Maxim 1, he has hit quite a few fine details that sneaker enthusiasts will enjoy:

-glossy swoosh
-a tasteful combination of nylon and suede (carefully done it doesnt overwhelm the whole shoe, like all the FUCKIN jordan retroes of recent)
-red and light blue speckled sole (a staple on many classic shoes)

an all around nice shoe...not the usual AM90 or hybrid combo they been puttin out so its worth the investment in order not 2 look like the rest of your mates...

Something that Caught my eye

Not really a big fan of Air Forces 1's, but going through some sites
I stumbled upon these.New Bespoke Nike Air Force 1, a
unique color way, inspired by some good old strawberry milk.
Naw, just joking around, but this was created from Strawberry
Nesquik LOL. One of the things that pulled me in was the accent
of 3M not to much just on the check and tongue just enough to set it off.

UNION NYC X PEGLEG X GSHOCK COLLABO

Really not a whole lot to say about this one... I personally am really feeling the stars and stripes theme... it has a very 70s, EVEL KNIEVEL-esque feel to it. The details are outrageous even down to the kickflip engraving on the bottom of the watch... i could def rock this... the watch may be a lil old (4th of july i think) but its def worth trying to find....
with love

BIG UPS TO MYGSHOCK.COM FOR THE QUALITY PHOTOS!

Just a Quick Update

So, it is true your boy D Wade is Officially with the Jordan
brand as you can see from his pic he put on twitter last
week . I am expecting Jordan was planning this one for
sometime , but glad to see Wade getting some respect in
the sneaker world.Next we got Lebron wearing Retro 9's
in ( White Green and Gold) these were from back when he
was in high school .Must say they are still fresh to bad he
didn't sign with Jordan that would have shut everything down.
