The brand LOT 78 and Sadia Rafique, one of the greatest designers around the word, join Puma to make this great unisex kick. The First Round, one of the Puma icons, has a lot of girly details like the pink accents, but the standout details are Sadia's ink drawings over the kick and a special shoe bag. LOT78, by the way, provides the quality soft leather and suede.

Reggie Bush and adidas team up to help Haiti

On the eve of the Super Bowl, New Orleans Saints superstar running back Reggie Bush and adidas have teamed up to create a custom designed shoe on miadidas.com to help deliver much needed aid to the people of Haiti. The Reggie Bush "Help Haiti" shoe, an adiZero Ace 2 running shoe personally customized by Bush, is inspired by the national colors of the Haitian flag and includes a "Help Haiti" inscription on the heel to generate awareness for the ongoing need of assistance to the Caribbean nation.

"The devastation in Haiti is stunning," said Reggie Bush. "Many organizations and high-profile individuals have given their overwhelming support to Haiti. Partnering with adidas and Mercy Corps to design this shoe is just one way to raise awareness, raise money and do my part to help the people of Haiti." 10% of the proceeds go directly to Haiti via Mercy Corps. (In addition, several of Bush's Super Bowl XLIV game-worn items will be auctioned off at ebay.com following the game. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Mercy Corps.)

These shoes will be available for a limited time only from February 5 -11. They come as small as a men's size 4 or a women's size 5. You can also design your own colorway.

Go Saints!

Adidas Originals "JS Wings"

The eccentric Jeremy Scott and adidas Originals by Originals just released these two kicks. These adidas rock the usual JS wings style and also have nice details like the "grillz" in both kicks with his name, Jeremy, and two matching laces.

About the colorway, they rock psychedelic multi-colored in one of them and white/gold for the other, so you can choose one according to your mood.

The JS Wings are now available for order at colette.

Nike Women Air Feather High

Nike is presenting a new kick just for us. This Nike Air Feather High is a brand new model, with a slimmer fit and higher cut than the Nike Air Force One. It´s pretty awesome that they are offering a new model just for us, like they did with the skinny Dunks . Maybe they are just realizing that "female sneaker fiends" are increasing every year...

This cool kick comes with patent leather upper in two different colorways: Varsity red and white as well as black and white.

X-Girl/WMNS Blazer

I am calling these MJ Blazers simply because the sequin immediately places the KING OF POP into my head! We saw these back in December thanks to SNEAKERNEWS, and now we have close ups via DUNK.COM..Available sometime this month! IS IT A GO OR NO?

Act like you know!

Over 50 dunks in her senior year in high school?! Averaging over 20 points and almost 6 blocks per game in college? Houston native Brittney Griner--all 6'8" of her--is no joke. This Baylor University freshman is already one of the best in the college game. Check out an espn youtube special about her, including her 360 dunk. Guys, take notice. Sneaker companies, she wears a size 17. Get some PEs ready for when she goes pro, and please make some Nike (Griner) Dunks for the rest of us!

If Nice Kicks says it's true...

First of all, Nicekicks.com is reporting that my favorite Jordan of all time, the "cool grey" Air Jordan 11, is being retro'ed for Holiday '10. Sweeeeet. They sourced it to Korea's itsshoestime blog.

In other big news from nicekicks, they're opening a real brick-and-mortar Nice Kicks store in Austin, TX! Congratulations guys! That's HUGE. Trust that lots of serious female sneaker fiends will be there... The grand opening, for folks anywhere nearby, is February 27th.

Bape Bapesta "Single Color" Pack

A Bathing Ape, the original leader in bright multi-color kicks, is joining the single color trend with 3 nice colorways for the Bapesta. Each pair is coming in a solid color, red, green or blue, including the logo on white laces.

The sneakers were released yesterday at Bape stores.

LACE UP SAVE LIVES in L.A.

Should be a pretty dope show! Wish I had a High School ID!

Reebok X atmos

Not gonna lie....I'm DROOLING all over my keyboard.  Check the latest Ex-O-Fit Hi Straps! Love the patent leather, love the straps, love the polka dot inner.

I've read people likening the design to the Yeezy but the colourway kinda reminds me of NERDS.

 

To be unleashed Spring 2010. Stay tuned.

UNDFTD x Converse Poorman Weapon out Friday

I love these! I loved the original Converse x undftd collab from a year ago, I liked the olive ones from last Spring even better, and these ones are just as on point. A cool plus this time is you can match 'em with a new bomber jacket and "flight helmet bag"...if you want. I just want the kicks!




If you want to learn more about the Poorman Weapon and the UNDFTD collab with Converse, check this interview on highsnobiety.


I don't know what the smallest size will be. Converse tends to do well by those with small feet, but this will be a limited run, so we may see less coming our way...
