My Christmas Kicks List | 5 Kicks I Need Under My Tree…

Here’s my annual Christmas Kicks List. I hope @Springcart’s paying attention!

Undefeated X Converse Poorman Weapon – $200

Undefeated offers a detailed look into their latest Poorman Weapon capsule with Converse. The high top sneaker was once again inspired by the classic MA-1 flight jacket, with a nylon upper, orange lining and velcro details. A matching grey MA-1 jacket, and flight bag will be released along with the sneaker on Grey Friday – November 26, 2010.

Solebox X adidas Equipment Support

Solebox has announced the release date of its latest collaborative sneaker, the adidas Equipment Support. Originally slated to land in 2011, this sneaker sports a slick grey and white upper with a black quarter panel and tongue, and will actually release on December 11th. Red hits can be seen throughout, including on the “Solebox” and “Support” dubraes. At the Berlin release of this shoe, a special foldable backpack will be issued with each purchase.

Air Jordan 1 Anondized Cranberry – $260

The Air Jordan 1 which was infused with the foamposite technology is now called the Anodized, and carrying the same “Cranberry” code similar to that of the Nike Air Foamposite Cranberry, it possesses a varsity red (or sometimes called cranberry) upper. With this composition, the Swoosh appears in an embedded condition while the Air Jordan wings insignia continues to soar along the collar. Hints of black and white are present on the tongue, inner liner, and midsole while icy blue outsole breaks the neutral mode.

Nike 1/2 Cent Cranberry – $190

Officially styled in Varsity Red/Black-Varsity Red, the hybrid Penny model is set to release Saturday, December 18th.

Air Jordan 13 Black/Voltage Cherry

The Air Jordan XIII GS above in black and Voltage Cherry combines the two playoff AJXIIIs and adds a playful, if feminine twist with the cherry red shade instead of your typical Varsity offering. It’s a great way to treat your young sneakerheads and/or lovely ladies, and a chance for them to get the spring/summer 1998 look before either of the other XIIIs hits retail. These are scheduled to drop later this year as part of Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2010 collection, but the insiders over at VMVinc already have a few sizes available for pre-order and ready to ship by the end of the month.

Sons of Anarchy Season 3, Ep 11

I’ve been watching all season and finally felt like writing my thoughts. Here’s my take…SPOILER ALERT. WATCH THE EPISODE B4 YOU READ!
I can’t believe Jax almost left his son, after all of the drama and death the club dealt with to get him back. Gemma is the most gangster woman on the planet. She will not take no for an answer. The nun was about 5 mins off of a bullet if she didn’t give up the goods. When Jax is willing to fold at every turn, she’s right there to breathe fire back into him. Family means more than anything to her. Glad they FINALLY get the baby back. Now, let’s hope they all make it home safe. I don’t trust Stahl. Just not sure how this is all gonna come crumbling down around Jax, but she’s definitely not on the up and up. I am glad she saw the bigger picture when it came to helping the club get Tara back. I’m so sick of Salazar and his bullshit kidnapping. I can’t wait for him to get smoked. Tara is cold in her own right. Slicing Salazar’s old lady was gangster. I woulda killed dude when he was crying over his girl in the bathtub tho. 2 shots to the head woulda done it. Looks like she might get herself killed playing doctor after all. Glad the sheet is coming off of Hale. The double cross on the chief was cold game, but I saw it coming. I hope he gets tossed in jail and anally raped repeatedly. This seems likely, now that Lumpy’s dead. Once they catch up with Salazar, make him talk and he spills it all. He already demonstrated his rodent like qualities. Jimmy O’s time is running out…I don’t think he’ll make it back to the states alive, but Jax has to keep him alive to protect his deal with Stahl. I definitely didn’t like how they tried to absolve the priest of his bullshit at the end of this episode. Who gives a shit if Jimmy kills him? All of this drama is his fault. All he had to do was give the baby back and most of the people killed would still be alive. Let’s tally up the body count: SAMBEL lost half the chapter, including their president, 2 innocent parents were killed, and 2 of the priests closest men were killed… All in the name of the “Greater Good”. Sanctimonious Nonsense. I hope his kidnapping ass ends up with a bullet in the back of his head, but I’m sure there’s some unwritten rule about killing a priest on TV. Christ.

Greedy Genius Ocean Runner High Top

I came across these via theshoebuff.com and fell in love. I like the look, the materials…They are simply fly.

Greedy Genius has given us a great look at their upcoming colorways in the ‘Ocean Runner’ high-top model. The Red, Black, and Tan versions all take a couture approach to a street wear model. Combining the comfort and trend of a high-top with style-oriented materials, such as textured and embossed leather, and waxed laces, these shoes give all the freshness you could ask for, with the look and feel of a well worn baseball glove. Available mid May through select Greedy Genius retailers.

The Air Trainer SC was made famous in the early 90’s by Bo Jackson, legendary multisport athlete who played in the NFL and MLB. His athletic diversity was the perfect match for a cross-training shoe, and the Nike “Bo Knows” ad campaign around the shoe became just as famous as the shoe itself. For more shots check the Gallery.

Air Jordan XII “Flu Game” Available Now

The Air Jordan XII Flu Game is now available at footlocker.com and Foot Locker stores.

1

This version is a tribute to the legendary game in 1997 when MJ dropped 38 points while battling the Flu. The classic image of MJ leaning on Scottie Pippen after the game is very familiar to hoops fans. Unlike the original AJ XII Black/Red, this version’s upper is made of rich black suede. The OG version read TWO3 down the tongue while this version reads 97 38 with a sick face in the middle. That same logo that represents the year and points scored is displayed on the heel.

adidas Top Ten High Black/Collegiate Red Available in December

At thirty years old, the adidas Top Ten High is going strong. Wednesday we previewed the Top Ten High in Air Force Blue/White, scheduled to hit Foot Locker stores next month. Today we show you another colorway dropping in December – Black/Collegiate Red.

adidas-top-ten-high-blackcollegiate-red-1

Like the Top Ten in Air Force Blue/White, patent leather is used on the padded collar, toe cap and eyestay areas. The outsole has the original herring-bone design and the upper stripes have the same textured look and feel.

But this Top Ten Hi in Black/Collegiate Red features more of its secondary color than the Air Force Blue/White version, giving it a little more pop. The laces and outsole are entirely red, and red is utilized on the collar trim, three upper strips and midsole logo. Red is also incorporated into the “Top Ten” name on the tongue design.

This colorway still maintains the simple, clean look that made this shoe a classic. To get a better look, head over to the Gallery for more pics.
