rtemagicc_nike_wk_5-01.jpg

Nike Air Force 1 is not the only one to turn 25 this year, Wieden + Kennedy also has there 25th birthday this year, Wieden + Kennedy the worlds largest and best privately owned advertising agency. Wieden + Kennedy founders day was on note to celebrate and what a day it looked like, you can check out all the action at Alchemi.

Employees of the firm created another exciting sneaker (everyone remember the AF1 they did with Nike that never got released) a hybrid of the Nike Free Trail x Air Trainer 1 x Dunk in several colorways, each representing one city that W + K has offices in. This sneaker has some great detailing so chack out all the pics after the jump… Unsure whether these will be available to the public or another release just for W + K employees, stay tuned for more info on these because I am looking forward to see what happens.

Nike Dunk Low Premium Leopard

Posted by samplekickz on 7 April, 2007

nike-dunks-low-leopard-3.jpg

If the latest round of Atmos x Nike sneakers didn’t provide enough African animal print, you are in luck. Rumors are that these “leopard” Dunk Lows are another part of the ongoing work between Atmos and Nike; however, they are currently available at Mita Sneakers and not Atmos. Hmm…

Honestly, I could care less who worked on a shoe or even what brand it is as long as it looked good. The use of leopard print is nice, but I could have tolerated more colors on the upper.
These Dunk Lows are Premium so expect good materials on the upper as well as being leather lined. These are definitely the tamest of all of the wild animal sneakers.

fragment.jpg

The picture speaks for itself on these beauties… black leather with a beautiful royal blue sole, and one surprise…my ALWAYS favorite …3M!!! right below the perforated heel.  The quality on these should be superb, as they are Supremes. These will be dropping this month, and keep an eye out for a black/red colorway that will drop next month and the black/white colorway in June

Nike Zoom LeBron IV Play-Offs

Posted by samplekickz on 7 April, 2007

playofflbj.jpg

A new pic of sample Nike Zoom LeBron “Play-Offs” recently hit the Net. A bit different from the [catalogue image] that surfaced last week, these new samples feature an almost inverted colorway when compared to the catalogue image. Instead of featuring a Varsity Crimson Lace Panel and Strap, these new samples feature a Midnight Navy Lace Panel and Strap. And, instead of a Midnight Navy Outsole, these samples feature a Varsity Crimson Outsole. Several of the final released versions of the LeBron IV have differed from catalogue images and even late samples. With their release drawing very near, the final colorway (if these are indeed changed again) should pop up soon.

Here is a pair of Nike Air Force 1s that went over a lot of heads, and I am honestly shocked. Nike will also release a pair of Air Force 1s to accommodate for the Year of the Pig. Even though this model is for the Year of the Pig, the material used is cowhide. More information, retail price and release date coming soon,

Posted by samplekickz on 6 April, 2007

vans-supreme-sneakers-1.jpg

Seriously, Supreme is probably going to set a record for the most collaborations this year. It seems like each week there is a new one.

We heard about Supreme working with Vans to make some awesome versions of the Old Skool, Half Cab, and Chukka, and make awesome sneakers they did. The sneakers are truly unique keeping an old and classic style, but colors and design that are ahead of their time.

They will be available at the Supreme NY and LA store on April 12th.

Sparkling pairs of AF1 Supremes by two neighboring stores from Malaga, Spain: Clothing and toy outlet Refugio de Monos and shoe retailer Shoeciety.
The Shoeciety model (left pic, bottom) is crisp white on a gum sole. Refugio de Monos have indulged with crocodile skin, and star-spangled perferations that reveal a gold lining.
Plenty more fantastic pics. Check them at our good friends at Footurama, and on the Refugio de Monos blog.
