MF Doom Dunks

Kicksclusive has the info on an upcoming MF Doom Dunk. MF Doom is one of my favorite rappers hopefully these shoes will be really nice and not ruined with fur or some weird space material.

speak for them selves

These shoes are so outragous I don't need to say much.
These are patent croc AF1 seamless. that means the shoe is made out of one giant piece of leather that wraps around. First off they aren't really croc, it's pressed leather. Also they aren't seamless. the seam is on the inside of the foot where the star would be on chuck Taylor's.
These are Adidas Rod Lavers, one of my favorite shoes. they are super comfortable and rarely made into some sort of special material or colorway. these are an exception. They are made out of a suede fish leather. Fish leather is supposed to be more environmentally friendly and it uses scraps that would normally be thrown away. not very ballin' if you ask me.

Metalic PVC Court Forces

Plastic Shoes, seriously. the upper is made of a metallic PVC material. the low has a purple clear sole and the high-top has a blue clear sole. the insole has layered cartoon eyes that look like fish scales as does the illustration on the top. I have to say these are kind of silly but not trashy. I think the colors are really fun. I don't like patent leather, but some how when it's plastic it's totally OK. I am worried about how scuffed up they will get and how durable the material is.

Story Update

Remember those pony hair diamond shoes? It turns out they are part of a pack called "the Urban Samurai Pack" put out by Nike’s Blue Ribbon Sports Label. They will be available at Nike owns on the 15th and shoejockey-- has them now for inflated prices. I like the Air Force 3 hi. Part of me wants to get those garbagous dunks because they are so insane, but I don't have that sort of money to through around.

Walk the Rainbow

Check out this new court force that NSB posted. the outside looks like army green canvas and it's lined with safety orange. what colors would match that scheme? ALL OF THEM!

Run Athletics Run!

Kix and The city has pictures from the Magic trade show of some '07 shit from Run Athletics. They seem to be doing a lot of original stuff. By original I mean ugly in ways I am unaccustomed to.

Go figure has some pics of the R-Tek, Run's newest model featuring visable air.

"Diamond"Horse Hair

These are so GD ugly they give the hamsters a run for their money in ugliness. The centerpiece of the ugly is the Horse hair screen printed with a diamond pattern that was probably lifted from the 70's worst wall paper. However unlike the Hamsters it doesn't end there. there is also touches of purple metallic patent leather. the black section is a weird leather that has little textured red lines in it.
For more picks check out NSB

From the Hamsters to the shoes in the Nordic pack to these it looks like Nike is doing a lot with itchy material. It might be a little too soon to call it, but I think itchy is the new patent leather.

"See when I was a youngsta, used to wear them fuckin Pro Keds"

Kix and the City has some pics of a whole bunch of pro keds coming out in 2007. These are all 142nd streets which are almost all created in collaboration with Damon Dash. The 142nd was always a copy of Nike Uptowns and these are just copies colorwise of what Bape is doing. I really like what Pro Keds does, but I'm not all that interested in these. They don't evenm do well as ugly. Pro Keds step up your game.
I think these are legitimately fresh. normal human beings should consider the green ones cause they would go real well with camo or army surplus green. The crimson ones are also tight.

"Rope" Laces

I've been seeing pictures of shoes from n upcoming "Nordic" pack from Nike. It has a lot of Wool, horse hair, and ugly patterns. It's ugly but not worth porting...

UNTIL NOWBurlap laces. I have never sen anything like that before. I love innovation. I am sick of seeing the same old ugly shit repeated endlessly (I'm talking to you patent leather AF1s).

Footscape Woven "hampsters"

After months of waiting one of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen is coming out on the 9th in London. Nike took what IMHO is an ugly shoe and proceeded to use make it out of pony hair. C'mon Nike, seriously? I feel like making fun of these would be like making fun of an adult with Downs syndrome. it's just cruel and demeaning and I am bigger than that. For those of you in London who want to buy this thing check out High Snobriety because I'm not going to directly help anyone get this.
