SOME HOT NEW KICKS!
Like the rest of the series, the “Ice Blue” has been redesigned to feature better materials and provide for a more comfortable experience. It features a premium leather black toe and eyestay with an icy blue body. The Dunk High Premium also features Zoom Air in the heel.
I'm pretty excited about the color blocking on this shoe. By using the same color on the upper beneath the stripe, it dramatically alters a very tried and true style into almost a completely different style. I could take or leave the skyline, but it’s certainly not so much of a distraction that it ruins the shoe. With that said, the last I checked, five other teams
won the title in the 70’s, so where is that Milwaukee Bucks pair? These shoes are available now at Puma stores, as well as
Shoebiz,
Sportie LA, and
Karmaloop right now.
Asics is still running with the Patta hype for the Gel Lyte III. Since then the Gel Lyte III has been highly sought after. The new GLI III Colorway features a mixture of royal blue, yellow, black, and white.
This colorway is the February release for the Gel Lyte III. Now available at select Asics accounts. ATL heads can get a pair right now at Laced up.
Here are some photos of Kanye West’s new line of sneakers from the Reebok S. Carter Collection. The kicks have ‘Ye’s signature teddy bear logo on the side. There are four styles and they sell for $124.95 a pair. You can purchase them at SportieLA.com.

This pair of Dunks is inspired by the cover art to the epic Guns N’ Roses album Appetite For Destruction. Perhaps that’s the secret here, since even the washed up Axl of today would mop the floor with Nickelback. It’s too bad they didn’t take inspiration from the original cover though. Demons attacking a robotic rapist? That’s timeless.
Here’s a nice pair of Classic SB’s in a maroon and flat gold color scheme. I’ll say it over and over again - this is one of the most slept on retro shoes, SB or otherwise, out there right now. SB comes up with consistently clean colorways on a very simple and comfortable shoe, but nobody is interested!? I’m glad to see a leather model this time around instead of the seemingly standard suede.
Following the lead of the Appetite for Destruction Dunk, here is a high top taking visual cues from Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood. This is a little more adventurous but something about these is really appealing to me. I’d much rather deal with fake reptile skin than fake fur like we’ve seen recently. The darker green helps to break the shoe up quite a bit.
The carolina blue Zoom Harbor is a pretty strong colorway, but something still doesn’t sit right with me about Harbors. Maybe it’s seeing a vulcanized sole on a Nike shoe, I don’t know. This model is definitely more geared towards a core skate crowd which will likely drift towards a similar shoe from Vans or Lakai.
DREWREPORTS.COM NEW ARTIST FEATURE: ROCCETT
The West Coast is renowned for producing some of the music industry's most notorious and inimitable artists in the early 90’s. Now the West is proud to present a fervent and talented artist named Roccett.
The Carson California native downy delivery in sync with his clever wordplay help capture the attention of multi-platinum selling artist Young Jeezy, who signed Roccett to his CTE west imprint. Roccett has collaborated with G-unit artists and recently with Dj Warrior to release his mixtape “COLORS”.
This Year, Roccett is set to release his follow up mixtape “CTE Presents Corporate America” which features appearances from Akon, Young Buck and the rest of the CTE camp.
Roccett definitely has intentions on seizing the rap world by storm in 2008.
Special Thanks to Jen @ JG Marketing for connecting the dots.
