A new Air Force 1 Low in 411 color. This time, this sexy air force one uses a smooth leather. It's something different from the nubuck, suede, premium leather or patent stuff that's popular recently. This Air Force 1 uses the same color scheme as the first one which was sold in 1998.

The guys at Might Healthy has some nice shirts at their site! Great for matching your unique sneakers! Go check them out here. They will be coming out with a spring 2005 soon! Here's some tees from their fall 2004 line.
What's Mighty Healthy??? Mighty Healthy became an official clothing line in 2004, but the people and concepts behind it have been shaping its soul since the late 80's. The Mighty Healthy brand name reflects the experiences of a generation that was brought up in an era of good times, self-expression and the courage to be different from the mainstream. Denis and Ray; the driving force behind the Mighty Healthy adage find it important to not follow any rules or stick to any themes when designing t-shirts. Their goal is to make graphics that can tell a story, or convey a message in an instant. The duo brings many eclectic stories to their work as they’re diverse backgrounds provide material to their own personalities. Ray, who is originally of Philipino ancestry is the classic NYC skateboard firebrand and was part of the early days, where crews of kids scoured the city trying to make names for themselves and stand out among the urban backdrop. Denis was born in Turkey but quickly assimilated into a culture that was just starting to find it’s own identity and purpose. Enamored with the emotions and rebelliousness of hip hop, Denis found himself at it’s core trying to make his mark by deejaying, making music and pursuing the art of graffiti. Together, both Ray and Denis make designs that are simple, clean and effective without being affected by what others are doing. Inspiration for the two simply comes from the experiences that have made them who they are.

First Nike released the "Kermit" then "Miss Piggy", now third in line is this Nike Dunk Low of the "Muppet Pack". Notice I'm using all quotations because these are not really the official names. What makes these dunks special is the foam material it uses.

Personally, I love dunks! They look great! In fact, I got into the sneaker culture because of dunks. But now that I've seen this, I'm having second thoughts. It seems like Nike's starting to hire people to who design car vinyls graphics to design shoes . "We'll just slap on some lame design from 2Fast2Furious and it'll sell!". Next thing you know, they'll start adding big ass spoilers and "under-shoe" neon light kits. The only thing I like about this shoe is the black stitching. Fortunatly, it's only a GS release. Come on Nike, think of something better!

It seems like all the nice releases from Nike are for females. I think it's a plot to tease us male consumers. Anyway, Nike releases the Air Force 1 Premium in this redwood color. The Air Force 1 adopts the premium leather which is ever so popular now. In addition, this high quality leather makes the shoe feel very soft and comfortable.

There were the Nike Dunk Paris, Londons, Tokyo, Shanghais, New York and now, Mexico! Nike comes out with it's latest city dunk SB. The colors obviously display the colors of the Mexican Flag. No news when or where it will be released yet but I look forward to this dunk!
Still don't got enough bling bling? Maybe these Nike Chrome Dunks will fit the bill. From the look of the fat tongue, they look like they will follow the SB line. Other than that, no news on this shiny dunk yet.

When I first took a look at the adidas 35th Anniversary Adicolor, I thought it would be just a plain regular white shoe with multicolor laces. Now that the shoe is coming out and people have posted pictures of it on the net, I find out that it's really a shoe that you can color hence the name "Adicolor". Included with the shoe are 6 pairs of laces, a stencil and six lacquer markers. That's a lot of stuff included. For you guys that missed out on the Neighborhood X Adidas, you can now make your own.

More cool stuff from Ace-Company. I should just put them all in one post. Anyway, Bathing Ape released these Milo (B)one and Ape rubber coin cases. They're so cute but so useful at the same time.

Made of colorful nylong material, Porter and Famouz comes out with this great looking drum bag. Everyday use is no problem because the nylong is quite thick. It is a unisex bag because it comes with a extra strap you can hookup to make it 1 strap instead of 2 straps you see in the pictures. So both guys and girls will love this. I love it already.
via [Ace-Company]
The collaboration between Porter and G1950 creates this fresh new demin wallet. The demin material used does not wear easily and lasts a long time. It comes in two sizes, the normal and the mini size. Don't discriminate the mini size as it has enough room for all your cards and cash. It easily enters your pockets and pants as well. The mini version also has a ring where you can hook it up to your chain, pocket protector or whatever suits you.
