Air Jordan 2012 - signature shoe - new images

SO the NEW Air Jordan has flywire? a technology that was implemented back in 2008 for the Nike Hyperdunk and the Nike Zoom Kobe IV FINALLY makes it to the Air Jordan signature shoe? and what is this removable sockliner? It is taking from the Zoom GP shoe from back in the late 90s. Not to mention the wingtip inspired toebox? It kinda look like an old school shoe but with a modern twist. But I have to tip my head to the folks at Jordan Brand, they do look elegant is someway and mad comfy from the way the sockliner and cushioning is set up, however, each year I told myself, the new Jordan has got potential to be classic and yet, it keeps failing and falling into the sales bin at the Factory stores. Images via Ye-Wa

Leaders 1354 x adidas Originals Forum Moccasin Mid – December 17 release date

The word streetwear is often associated with a handful of cities around the world. New York City, Tokyo, London and..... Chicago? Well maybe not to that extend quite yet. But seeing that Leaders1354 has been around for almost a decade (tenth anniversary in 2012) it's a start to establishing that presence. The concept behind this Leaders1354 X adidas Originals Forum Mocassin is based off  Leaders1354 being the first streetwear store in Chicago, and one pioneer recognizes another. The first permanent settlers in Chicago were the Potawatomi indians, so they took the Forum base and mixed in a Native American theme. The end result is a few new twists to the Forum featuring a removable moccasin fringe on the heel, zig zag stitches, and premium leather laces. Via Ldrs1354

Nike Zoom KD IV - Year Of The Dragon 2012

Here is more detailed look of the Nike Zoom KD IV - Year Of The Dragon due out sometimes in the Spring 2012 or February 2012/Chinese New Year. The shoe is similar in colors with the LeBron 9 CHINA, where blue-flame is the dominant colors with hints of orange-flame. The most eye catching aspect of the shoe is the detailed dragon on the heel and side of the shoe.

The year of the dragon for the Chinese is an extremely significant year, it symbolizes prosperity, luck, good fortune and great health for all. Nike is set to release the LeBron 9 CHINA this coming Saturday December 17, 2011.
