With the start of the upcoming season quickly approaching, Adidas continues their close partnership with the NBA releasing a brand new pair of co-branded sneakers. This time around the brand keeps things simple incorporating some classic basketball influence onto their iconic Superstar 2 silhouette. While the simple white upper seems pretty common place, classic NBA jersey lining runs down the tongue and the heel, matching the colors of the three stripes on the side panel. To top things off a jersey tag like patch acts as a tongue tag. The NBA Adidas Superstar 2s are available now at Sneakers N Stuff.
The latest Nike Air Max Premium offers something we have not seen in quite a while on a Nike runner, i.e. a crepe out sole. The traditional Air Max 1 out sole has been replaced with that of a crepe sole made popular by Chukka boots. The crepe sole not only offers a unique look, but also additional comfort and wear-ability. However that is not all this particular pair has to offer as the uppers are abundant with premium materials including premium leather with canvas accents, and topped off with a horse hair swoosh. Be on the look out for the Nike Air Max 1 Premium Crepe – Sail to hit select Nike accounts this Holiday season. via: SF

You haven’t really made it in professional skateboarding these days until you have your own signature pants. Here we see the latest in apparel from DC from hard core skate veteran and pioneer, Danny Way. Not only does Danny force skateboarding into new horizons, but this spring he will also do the same to DC. For fifteen years DC has focused on signature skateboarding shoes, however this spring they will launch their first signature apparel line with Danny at the helm. The line includes a pair of denim and cord pants specifically catered to Danny’s taste in fashion and function. The pants feature lightweight durable materials with a custom wash and also feature reinforced stitching for extra wear and tear. The waist of the pants also feature two belt loop systems; one for the typical belt, and a second for the ever popular ‘shoe lace’ belt to prevent hard slams on a jagged belt buckle.
