Nike Air BW Gen II Black/Red

What you can see here is a sneaker that is almost perfect when it comes to the right color, material and silhouette. The Nike Air BW Gen II, Black, Red is one of the most popular Big Window sneakers that are now made available for its rich and interesting color combinations in black and red. It really displays a revamped version.
The uppers of its base are made in black and charcoal with uppers in leather and torch. It has hints of charcoal suede which can be seen on its swoosh and other sections of the base. It has red accents that complete the entire make up of the shoe which put a highlighting effect on its laces, the sole and the brand on the tongue. On a general note, this really holds a great design, color, and shape along with great materials and powerful performance! You can see more pics after the jump.

CARHARTT X VANS AUTHENTIC

Modern streetwear has its roots in the great pieces of American workwear, so combining perhaps “the” iconic skateboarding company with a brand known worldwide for its durable goods, and you’ve got all the makings of a superior release.  The Carhartt x Vans Authentic is a followup of the 2008 collabo between these two that goes the less obvious route.  While the ’08s were done in Carhartt’s indestructable canvas denim, these go for a mix of suede and ripstop nylon that’ll take a beating whether you skate in them or not.  Pairs in black, olive green and khaki all have construction orange outsoles and will hit retailers in early November. You can see more pics after the jump.

Nike Dunk High “Iron Bot” Customs

This is the latest creation of Australian sneaker customizer Sekure D, the Nike Dunk High “Iron Bot”. Inspired by the man in the iron suit, but with a robotic twist, the sneakers use an Iron Man inspired colorway in Red/Gold and feature the robot arm pattern that Sekure D’s become notorious for using over the years. In addition to the mid-panel being covered with his signature pattern, the robot arms also become noticeable beneath battle wounds, parts of the Red paneling which are made to appear as if part of Iron Bot’s protective outer shell has been torn away. Paying close attention to the shading around the edges of the battle wounds, the effect gives off a trippy 3D look into the inner robotic workings. Follow the jump for more pics of it.
