The shoes will be available in store only at Sole Classics on May 25th in limited quantities and online at Kingsrowe.

2013-05-21T12:10:00.000-04:00

A Bathing Ape alongside the likes of maharishi have been important entities into reappropriation of camouflage as fashion.

The collection available through apparel and accessories is available now at BAPE STORES across Asia and soon to hit BAPE STORE NYC.

Nike LeBron XI @KingJames

2013-05-20T16:09:00.001-04:00

A LOok @ the Nike LeBron XI that is set to release later this year comes equipped with some new construction done to the new LeBron model. Let's Talk Sneaker. The Nike LeBron XI features an “Armorposite” material across the upper (new material) which is draped around the silhouette like the Carbon Fiber is for the X Elite, the Dynamic Flywire is atop the "Armorposite" but it's not as visible as it has been in the previous LeBron models. The full length Vis Zoom treatment across the bottom has been removed so the silo can tuck away any Air it’s holding. The new XI model is said to be cushioned by a mix of Lunarlon and Zoom, embedded into the midsole of the shoe. The sneakers LeBron practiced in was lead to believe the LeBron XI's but since this image the pair must be a Ambassador or Soldier like I 1st pondered. The Nike LeBron XI will release in October for $200 and will release in 5 different colorways. Gonna do some research on this "Armorposite" as well. Would You Copp???

Nike Air Slant Mid

2013-05-20T15:47:00.001-04:00

A LOok @ a 1990's classic sneaker that's set to make a return. The Nike Air Slant Mid was a success in 1996 b/c of it's affordable MSRP and the fact that Nike created a rugged shoe, from its monstrous midsole and turf-eating traction to the angular upper that often reveals strong contrasts. You can expect the OG Air Slant Mid to return to a NSW retailer near you on May 25th.
