Nike Zoom Kobe IV Black Royal Blue Preview
Kobe’s Zoom IV is dropping in a fresh new colorway. The leather and flywire upper is decked out in all black with other materials such as snakeskin and molded plastic. While a royal blue midsole and other accenting rounds out this design making it very clean. It even has his signature on the heel. Red sneaks its way into the mix on the molded ankle collar while cool detailing on the laces and tongue make this a pretty dope drop. Via marqueesole.

Air Jordan VI Infrared - January 2010
There really isn’t much to say as most people will lose the ability to read just because of the title of this post. In all actuality there is no need to go through the design of the shoe as if you are on this site you are completely aware of what the Infrared VIs look like. My heart goes out to those who have paid extreme prices for these between 2001 and now. Retros are great for those who missed out on the shoe but terrible for those who already have it in their possession. Either way the Air Jordan Infrared VI will be re-released January 2010 with a price tag of $150. Via: Gradient Magazine.

Trey Songz - Anticipation (Mixtape)
DOWNLOAD: Trey Songz - Anticipation (Mixtape)
From Trey:
Many of you may ask, Why ANTICIPATION? Well lets break it down shall we:
An⋅tic⋅i⋅pa⋅tion [an-tis-uh-pey-shuhn] -noun
1. realization in advance, intuition; foretaste.
2. Musically - a tone introduced in advance of its harmony so that it sounds against the preceding chord.
Musically, I'm currently in a creative space like no other. I feel as though whenever a mic is put in front of me, I can do no wrong. At a time in the music industry where album sales are low, fans are fickle, inconsistent, or more into the various songs than they are the particular artist, I feel that I must give u a reason to love me. Embed in you a desire to love me and an appreciation for the music. I must show you that not only do I LOVE what I do but I also do it well.
The creation of ANTICIPATION began after I presented READY to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I'd rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.
Troy (my mentor and founder & CEO of Songbook Ent.) and I have been making music since I was 15. There was a time when thoughts of monotonous melodies or redundant choruses wasn't THE KEY to making a hit record. Music that just felt good. Although they're present at times the boundaries are endless in this body of work, giving you a (1) realization in advance to READY.
What do I mean by READY? Well, lets do this one more time.
Read⋅y [red-ee] –adjective
1. completely prepared or in fit condition for immediate action or use
I like to say don't get READY...STAY READY!!! But until then...Here is ANTICIPATION...

From Nando:
Now I know you guys wanna know the reason behind making this record…well…it’s simple. Alot of fuckery is going on in this area and I want NO parts of it. So I’m removing myself. I don’t like the politics in this area you have to be a certian type of person to be accepted. Well I’m not one of THEM I’m me. And apologize if I’m human from time to time but that’s just me other wise I wouldn’t use my music to express myself. That’s the WHOLE purpose of music anyways, right? I’m not just in this to be the best at what I do. I’m not in this to win the love and support of my area because really if that were the case, I’d do the type of music EVERYONE else does…I do this because alot of people feel this way deep down inside but don’t wanna say it..

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7)
LeBron’s 7th signature shoe is on its way and its definitely a departure from his other designs. The Air Max LeBron. The sneaker is set to use Nikes new Flywire Technology which has been popping up in several of their performance releases and makes the shoe considerably lighter. The other difference is the leap from Air Zoom to Air Max technology. Aside from the LeBron branding this is a totally new shoe. No release date has been set yet but we are all on pins and needles with anticipation. Via Flightclub.
Nike Air Trainer III - Medicine Ball
Air Trainers are serious business these days and the Nike folks continuously work hard churning out another Air Trainer III dubbed the nickname ‘Medicine Ball’. The brownish-orange colorway works perfect on this model and makes another classic Trainer sneaker. Dropping this fall with a $110 price tag this is one that can’t be beat. Via: The Shoe Game.
Air Max 2010 - Boy’s Releases
Nike loves the kids, and in appreciation to the four-foot-soldiers are new Air Maxes. The shoes range greatly from loud mixes of red and gold on the ’97 to monochromatic air max 90s. Look for all of these to drop in 2010 and pick them up for the fresh kids. Via: BNYC.
Nike Air Trainer III - Transformers Autobot Logo Look-See Sample
Remember these? Nike dropped them to go along with the Transformers movie that dropped a few years ago. Well every sneaker has a sample and alot of times that sample is slightly different making them even that much more special. These Transformer Air Trainer III’s have one glaring difference in the design and that is the huge Autobots logo on the right tongue. Nike had to pull the design element due to legal issues but now for your viewing pleasure photos have surfaced. These samples are available on ebay right now if you are a size 9 and got a little to spend. Via Mental Therapy.

Nike Women’s Gladiator Mid - Metallic
Tori Bruch, and Lamb have both designed roman-styled open toed sandals for women to wear during the summer, now Nike adds their name to the list with their Gladiator Mid. Featuring a metallic upper with a Blazer-like swoosh these are perfect for the female sneakerhead, or maybe not so perfect as the black and white ones were met with a terrible reaction. Hopefully, these will be received with a little more acclaim. Via: Dunk.com.cn

Air Max 93 Sneak Preview
We havent seen very many Air Max 93’s this year so this sneak peak is doubly exciting. For one Air Max’s are always welcome and the cherry on top is the lesser repped model getting some pub. The cherry on top is also in reference to the gorgeous red colorway they are being released in. Chances are these will only be available in in Berlin by way of our friends at Overkill but we will keep you posed. Via Overkill
Will Roush - Know My Name v.1 (Mixtape)
Presented by DJ Skee & DJ Whoo Kid; the conceptual mixtape is themed around the idea of Roush (a new artist) travelling back in time to learn all about hip hop’s incredible history, before moving foward with his own rap career. I think the concept of this is really dope. Slowly but surely hip-hop is coming back full circle where it needs to be. Back to concepts, stories, and lyrics...and not the bafoonery this new gen talks about.

Flash Big Nike High
Another superhero inspired sneaker has hit Nike retailers in the form of a Big Nike High. The colorway is inspired by Flash, the superhero capable of moving at eye blurring speeds. The red/white/yellow upper resembles the hero’s costume only with a leather/patent composition. Available now in GS sizes at select Nike retailers but act fast because these may be gone faster than Jay Garric.

Mihara Yasuhiro “Half” Sunglasses
Among Japan’s most heralded avant-garde designers as well as a competent shoe designer thanks to his collections with Puma, an interesting set of sunglasses emerge from Mihara Yasuhiro’s eyewear collection this season. Whilst the frame itself is relatively conventional, the bottom part ends apparently, creating the illusion of only half lenses. Look for these at select MIHARA YASUHIRO accounts.
