NYC Cracks Down on Fakes

We've all seen fakes,from the good to the really..REALLY bad. Well it looks like we'll start to see less of these horrible knockoffs. A sting like this is sure to scare off the fake pushers that hang out downtown. Even though this is a step towards progressive we all know that they will NEVER be able to stop fake pushers. As long as there is a brand whether it be good or bad there will ALWAYS be a fake right behind it.

AF1 "Video Music Box"

In 1983, Ralph McDaniels created the Video Music Box, one of the first Television programs to broadcast hip-hop videos. Last year, Video Music Box celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a Nike Air Force 1 paying homage to VMB and McDaniels. This Air Force 1 was designed by DJ Clark Kent who again creates a versatile sneaker that consists of a black upper and metallic silver swoosh. The upper is composed of full grain and patent leather with references to Video Music Box found all throughout the sneakers including the midsole, back heel panel, on the heel and insole. The sneakers were limited to only 25 pairs when they were distributed to friends and family of “Uncle Ralph”, but you can scoop up a pair now on the ‘Bay.

Nike x 3 inches of blood "Blood Oncore High"

In what may seem like an unlikely pairing, Nike 6.0 has teamed up with Canadian heavy metal band, 3 Inches of Blood, for an intriguing new collaboration sneaker. After learning that many of their athletes were die-hard metalheads and fans of the band, Nike decided that a collaboration made sense and the result is the Blood Oncore High. The shoe was co-designed by the band themselves, choosing an interesting selection of colors and materials to represent their aggressive sound in sneaker form. Known for their wizards and warriors fantasy battle themes, the Zoom Oncore High has been built for war. The shoe features different muted shades of brown and green distressed leather for the upper with metallic silver side panels to symbolize the menacing blades of war. As a nod the band’s colorful name, various red hues provide additional accents on the tongue, midsole and laces and the 3 Inches of Blood logo is stitched into the heel. Whether you are a fan of the band or just think these kicks are fresh, you can pick up a pair at select Nike 6.o retailers beginning on May 1st.

Air Jorand IV Fusion "Do The Right Thing"

Though rumors had circulated around the Net about a potential White/Cement Air Jordan VI Retro as part of Jordan Brand's celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing", we can confirm that Jordan Brand IS dropping a White/Cement Air Jordan Fusion 4 as part of their Do the Right Thing Pack. The White/Cement Air Jordan Fusion 4 is inspired by the classic White/Cement Air Jordan IV that was immortalized in Do the Right Thing. The White/Cement Air Jordan 4 features a White leather upper with cement detailing at the "wings", heel tab, and midsole. The upper borrows heavily from the Air Jordan 4 including the plastic mesh and midsole/outsole is taken from the Nike Air Force 1. The lace lock also features a nod to Do the Right Thing using the colors from the movie poster.

The White/Cement Air Jordan Fusion 4 is set to release during the Fall of 2009

Nike x Nylon Mag "Update"

It’s about time. After a short burst of hype, the Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk-Hi Pack disappeared. We saw several other nylon Dunks, but none affiliated with the publication. Now we finally know exactly what to expect and when. The pack includes five neon pairs: pink, orange, yellow, green and blue. Each features the ‘NYLON’ logo in two places: on the side panels it’s a tonal afterthought while the tongue tag features a multicoloured logo evoking each pair in the pack. These joints are set to drop Monday, June 1 at Urban Outfitters and other select Nike retailers.
