Nike LeBron 9 Low Obsidian

With the Nike LeBron 8 lineup coming to a close, the performance-oriented Nike LeBron 9 will usher in new technologies such as the Zoom Air/Max Air. Here is a first look at the new lowtop version for the LeBron 9. This lowtop version will utilize the same synthetic materials such as the Hyperfuse. It will not have the clover-shaped carbon fiber accent like the Mids. Instead of opting to go with the Zoom/Max Air cushioning unit, the lowtop version will feature a lightweight Phylon midsole and a 360 air max unit similar to the LeBron 8. It is unknown if this version will make it to production, but stay tuned for further info. How does this lowtop compare to the midtop version?

The classic silhouette of the Nike Air Max 95 has added Navy Blue/Red to its list of abundant colorways. The upper is a blend of materials like soft suede and mesh.

Vans Vault Sk8 Hi LX Premio Burgundy




Vans gives us a taste of a true classic look with their Vans Vault Sk8 Hi LX made in a dark Burgundy Italian leather. Sat atop a white vulcanized sole, complete with a navy foxing stripe that wraps around the circumference of the sneaker. The sneaker stays true to its original profile of the Sk8 Hi, but with this premium leather upper giving the proper pop to the sneaker guarantees a positive feedback from loyal sneaker enthusiasts. Chrome metal lace eyelets and waxed laces makeup the rest of this well done sneaker. These Vans are due to drop across the pond, and they should arrive at other Vans retailers soon

Black Rainbow x CAT Footwear


CAT (Caterpillar) footwear and Blackrainbow (a Persian retailer/creative agency) are brainstorming to come up with a curve ball thrown into the shoe game. Following CAT’s outdoor theme, boot laces give the shoe a true working mans feel using premium leather for their upper which also has a canvas camo heel. The thick midsole is color matched with the overall color scheme of the shoe. These three colorways are all due to drop, so stay tuned with us at TSG for the latest.

Nike Air Trainer SC II Quickstrike Pack

Nike welcomes a couple of new colorways in its storied Air Trainer SC II, both part of a quickstrike pack for the month of September 2011.



Nike Air Vortex "Imperial"

There's nothing better than retro Nikes and whenever you can get your hands on a pair that released decades ago it's a must to take advantage.

Nike Dunk High VT Premium Quickstrike – Haystack – Birch




The summer of 2011 will forever be remembered as the time when Nike Sportswear bred its first hybrids with a Hyperfuse parentage, and though this is the kind of advance you can expect to see repeated by NSW in the future, the super-breathable nature of Fuse material isn't exactly practical for the winter. Applying Vac-Tech molding technology to this new Nike Dunk High VT Premium Quickstrike allows sneakerheads another new look at a classic silhouette. It's the type of thing that'd save you from frostbite, but despite the Timberland-style 'wheat' look, their molded suede uppers are likely best worn on days not plagued by wet weather.
