Vans Authentic & Slip-On – Glitch Checker Pack

To complete the Fall 2010 collection, Vans came up with another set of Authentic and Slip-On models in a very updated design. Drawing inspiration from today’s digital graphics, the Glitch Checker Pack appears to have pixilated checkboard pattern all over the upper. The Authentic is presented in Black/White colorway while White/Black, Blue, and Green with Yellow/Black inner liner were the colorways for the Slip-On. Both models own White vulcanized rubber sole. Check these glitches at Vans retail shops.

SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi

Russian artist, SSUR, has teamed up Converse this Summer to produce one of the most simple and clean pairs of Pro Leather 76 Hi’s that we have seen in recent time. Over a month ago, initial photos of the SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi surfaced and reactions were positive. The pair features an all black premium suede upper, crackled leather lace eyelets, laces, midsole, and outsole. Gold accents, used on the tongue, heel tab, and lace locks, add a nice touch to this collaboration. This pair is now available at Havenshop.

LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1

Obviously, the LIVESTRONG x Nike Collection has been coming on strong as of late seeing that we spotted two new installments just yesterday (see LIVESTRONG x Nike Bruin & LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Mid TZ). Who else is reminded of last summer’s LIVESTRONG x Nike onslaught. In attempt to help you remember more, we have highlighted the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 in today’s In Retrospect.

A year ago today, the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 released at select Nike Sportswear retailers nationwide. Were you lucky enough to get your hands on this sneaker and was it worth the $150? If you did not pursue this Air Force 1, are you wishing you would have now? Lastly, was it one of, if not the best Air Force 1 release of 2009? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Nike Air Force 1 Black/Metallic Silver “3M”

Few silhouettes can remain relevant for nearly three decades. How is this accomplished? A classic design and fresh colorways. The Nike Air Force 1 Black/Metallic Silver “3M” is exactly that. The timeless low top AF1 finds itself dressed in an all black leather upper with metallic silver accents and a metallic silver outsole. A reflective 3M Swoosh jumps off the black backdrop making it a standout in the summer sun. This pair can be found at select stores with Nike Sportswear accounts including Nice Kicks in Austin, TX.

Nike Zoom Hyperfuse & Hyperdunk 2010 Puerto Rico PEs

Puerto Rico’s has a long history of basketball success during international competition, despite its tiny population when companred to heavy-hitters like Spain and the U.S. For this year’s World Basketball Festival and FIBA World Championships, Nike designed these Zoom Hyperfuse and Hyperdunk 2010 PEs, which are scheduled for a limited release at the retail level.

The Zoom Hyperfuse owns a bright blue upper with a white ankle to match the outsole. Red accent appear throughout and the Puerto Rican flag is branded on the ankle. The Hyperdunk 2010 owns a similar overall color scheme, though its laminate style upper adds some additional depth to the blue hue used. The Puerto Rican flag can be seen on the tongue of that shoe.

PEAK Jason Richardson ‘Away’ PE

In mid-April, we gave you a look at Jason Richardson’s ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ PEAK signature player exclusives. We now have new, detailed images of his ‘Away’ PEs. PEAK chose to keep it simple by using a mainly black leather base that coincides with the Phoenix Suns ‘Away’ jerseys. However, its texture makeup is anything but simple. The toe area contains a black snakeskin-like material, while the side panels are constructed of perforated leather. Various PEAK/Jason Richardson branding is spotted throughout the upper in colors such as purple, orange and white. View additional photos below.
