AJF 4 Bred


In a pretty interesting change of pace, Nike has made a significant design change to the latest Air Jordan Force, the AJF 4 Black/Varsity Red-Cement Grey scheduled for a September release. While the original sample sported a comparatively-simple upper with no plastic cage on the side panel and a now-absent white midsole, the new production pair again has the cage just like the Air Jordan 4 and it also has a (drum roll) … transparent midsole. Nutty. I’m kind of feeling the original pictures we saw, but this definitely looks more like an Air Jordan 4; stays truer to the original.

Air Jordan Dub Zero - Black - White - Laser Blue


To the delight of many Jordan-heads, the Dub Zero has been making a return this year in a number of new colorways. With all the Fusion models and Jordan mash-ups floating around right now, it’s only right to bring back the shoe that first started the trend. We showed you a look at these back in March as part of our summer ‘09 Dub Zero preview, and now with the release date approaching, we get a better look at this slick new colorway. The shoe features a black patent leather upper with Laser Blue accents and white graphics printed on the mid section.

Japan To Install 3.9G Network Infrastructure



Japan will have the most advanced cell phone infrastructure in the world because four major Japanese cell phone carriers (NTT, KDDI, SoftBank and Emobile) will invest a total of $10 billion into 3.9-generation cell phone services. FYI, the 3.9G infrastructure is comparable with fiber-optic networks. Japan will begin install the new infrastructure in the early 2010s, with the carriers will use the existing 3G networks as much as possible to keep overall costs down. Japan’s biggest cell phone carrier NTT has plan to launch 3.9G services early next year, followed by the other companies in fiscal 2011 and 2012.

Winner — ‘In Electric Mist’ Stars Tommy Lee Jones




I just finished watching In The Electric Mist, which is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray, based on the bestselling novel by James Lee Burke. In the Electric Mist features Tommy Lee Jones leading a talented cast through the Louisiana bayou and the New Orleans criminal underground investigating a series of horrific murders while uncovering long forgotten secrets of the prejudice south.Jones plays veteran detective Dave Robicheaux, Dirty Harry hunts down a serial killer in the Deep South. Although the story line has obvious plot turns, I was engaged throughout the film. John Goodman is fun to watch as he plays a greasy, no-good-son-of-a…remarkably well. One of my favorite actresses, Mary Steenburgen, which we hardly ever see in films, effortlessly and smoothly plays Robicheaux’s wife, who draws out the kinder side of Jone’s character and you forget about Dirty Harry similarities.

Restoration project of a Submariner 1680 Part II


Although John is very pleased with his restored Submariner ref.1680, he is not a vintage Rolex guy, as he claims in his Restoration article Part II. He is looking for a passionate Rolex collector to buy it from him.. I don’t think that will be a problem!

Zoom LeBron VI MVP


Nike’s ability to predict trends always seemed a bit impressive, but it’s now bordering on clairvoyant.

Lupe Fiasco Converse All-Stars …


you know, Chuck Taylors. As part of the (PRODUCT) RED campaign to eliminate AIDS in Africa, Lupe Fiasco and Dr. Romanelli go together to create a very unique Converse All-Star. The shoe looks like the traditional Chuck Taylor, except rather than canvas the upper is completely patent leather, and the usually-black line is red, as is the outsole. Even the iconic “Converse All-Star” badge on the ankle is just impressioned into the patent leather.
David Z stores and DavidZ.com have the Lupe Fiasco Converse All-Star now for $100. A bit steep for All-Stars, but the patent leather and good cause give you a nice excuse to splurge. And these things will break necks. I was at Urban Outfitter the other day debating the wearability of leather All-Stars. These patent leather joints put them to shame.

Low AJF 9 Black/Varsity Red-White


I’ve expressed my disdain for most AJF hybrids, as well as my indifference toward the Air Jordan 9, so this is going to sound pretty strange: The AJF 9 Black/Varsity Red-White Low is actually pretty rad. It looks a bit more like the Air Force 1, silhouette-wise, than the usual AJF’s, but still maintains some Air Jordan flair and style while looking a lot more cohesive than the Air Jordan 9 (or AJF 9 for that matter). I don’t really feel all-blacks, so I’m hoping this is the first of a few different colorways.

Nike Auto Flight High



Yet another hybrid is coming out of Beaverton, this one scheduled for a late 2009 release. While I’m not sure if they’re billing this as a fusion, the Nike Auto Flight High takes the upper from an Air Flight Lite High and the sole from the Nike Blazer to create a … slightly different shoe. Honestly, it’s pretty much the same as the Air Flight Lite, although I guess the sole is a pretty noteworthy feature on that particular shoe, so the Blazer sole makes something of a difference. Anyway, the shoe comes in a black upper with red accents and a white midsole. Anyway, yeah the Nike Auto Flight High drops during the holiday season; of course the Nike Air Flight Lite High is out now for like $80, so if one were so inclined they could just grab a pair or two of those. Or the Nike RT1 Black/Varsity Red; also a very similar shoe. Pictures from Foot Locker Unlocked.

Dunk Low CL Brown/Pink and Black/Electrolime


So I’ve always been a little on the fence about Dunks and I wasn’t sure why. After looking at these pretty tight Dunk Low CL’s in baroque brown/pink-white and black/electorlime-white I realize that it’s that damn off-color outsole that creeps half way up the white midsole. Both of these have a solid white sole unit and look super nice. They’re available now at TheGoodWillOut.com or NikeStore.com, although it looks like the blacks are already sold out at Nikestore. Pictures from The Good Will Out.

Air Toki TZ


Couple of months ago Nike dropped a limited release of a very unique new shoe, the Nike Air Zoom Toki Lux, a sort of Vans Chukka-like silhouette in a perforated leather upper. Needless to say it sold quite well. Well next up in the same vein, is the Nike Air Toki Tier Zero. The Air Toki TZ keeps the same silhouette as the Lux model, however it uses a solid colored canvas for the upper, rather than leather. The Toki TZ comes in a soft, almost-pastel yellow and a blueish-grey. While I’m assuming there’s a US Tier Zero release in the near future, at the moment these are available at Atmos-Tokyo.

Nike Air Yeezy - Pink - Black - Standard Atlanta Release Recap


Atlanta’s own Standard made the most of Saturday’s release of the delicious new pink/black Nike Air Yeezy. With campers setting up temporary residence for up to five days prior outside the Peachtree location, the Standard folks added some meat to the event; literally. They invited the folks who they’d seen day after day to come inside and enjoy a nice breakfast, complete with an Air Yeezy desert. Despite the fact that beautiful weather of late made the wait a bit easier, this is easily one of the friendlier and more creative ways to commemorate the release that we’ve seen. Take a look at some more pics of the event after the jump.
