Nike is pushing the Hyperfuse

This week Nike has released images for the new hyperfuse mash-ups for the fellas, and now they are showing what they have planned for us ladies. Here is a little preview of the ladies' hyperfuse...



Now I have to be honest, I have no idea what the heck is so special about hyperfuse technology. If you know can you please help a sista out? But back to the shoes, the only silhouette in this whole hyperfuse craze that is decent is the air max 90's. The rest is just not moving me. These colorways and a few others will be out sometime next month. So what are your thoughts about these hyperfuse mash-ups?

NBA All-Star Game Heat from Nike

As always, Nike is treating us to some special releases for the upcoming NBA All-Star game. Here's what will be on the feet of Lebron, Kobe and Kevin Durant.

My favorites were the All Star Lebron 8 V2s... just gorgeous.

The Kobe VIs with special All Star box. They don't stand out from his other VIs as much as I would expect, although the hologram on the tongue is cool. (All 3 of these shoes have holograms on the tongue featuring the player's logo and the East/West logo.)

The Nike Zoom KD IIIs (aka, Durants) were extremely lightweight, although the look and feel was too plastic-y for me.

The beauty of the box was hard for this amateur photographer to capture. It has a striped plastic casing, so when you pull the box out of the sleeve, it appears animated! Great use of old school animation technology. Nice touch for a game played next door to Hollywood...

Kobe's LA City Series

East LA Pack

The whole LA City Series should come out in men's and youth sizes. All packs include Kobe VI, Hyperfuse (2), and AF1. The East LA Nike Zoom Kobe VI and Hyperfuse Lows have already released (and sold out in LA in no time flat). The Hollywood pack is set to release on February 9th, with the Orange County pack dropping on the 11th.

Nike Black History Month 2011

Every year, Nike drops a tribute collection for black history month. This year's collection includes AJ3, Converse star player, AF1 and a Zoom Kobe VI. Each sneaker is decked out in a black and gold colorway. Never really dug any of the Black history month's collection Nike has done but these are decent. They are simple and cohesive. Collection drops next month.

WMNS Vans Mirah Suede

I'm with Lori on keeping our feet warm up here in the Northeast, so I took a look at EXTRA BUTTER's blog to see what they have new in stock because it definitely gets cold out there on Long Island! To my surprise they had these cute Vans boots as a new arrival! The Mirah Suede is simple yet functional with a black/red checkered fleece lining and shaft. The black suede on the toe and heel adds "fashionable" to these $55 pair in the traditional shape of the ever classic Vans slip on sneaker.


Available now at EXTRA BUTTER

Nike Women's Lunarstorm

Okay, those of us in the Northeast of the ol' USA (not to mention other northern climates around the world), are beginning to worry about the upcoming bruising winter. You know how global warming melts glaciers and actually makes us colder for a while? That had me worried until these boots showed up. Now I'm looking forward to it! The best part (besides the cozy fuzz) is that they're lighter than you can imagine, many thanks to the lunarlon technology.

Available at the Nike Store online, $110, and starting at a women's 5. I'm sure they're popping up around town too...

P.S. Global warming still has me worried. Just not for my toes.

Made Me X Vans

Next clothing brand doing a sneaker collab is the eccentric streetwear brand Made Me. Made Me and Vans have teamed up to create to eccentric look to two vans silhouettes: The Camryn and The Wellesley. Since Made Me's new fall collection has an early NYC 90's vibe going on these sneakers definitely match that. Not really feeling the Camryn but the Wellesley I'm definitely feeling. I also would like point out that the premium leather looks like butta! Nice touch! Check the pics after the jump...

Converse All-Star x Dr. Seuss!

Okay, who knows where Dr. Seuss is from? From nearby Springfield, Mass! He's one of the most famous celebs we have from Western Massachusetts. Now that the Eric Carle Museum is nearby, maybe I can hope for some Hungry Caterpillar kicks too.... But back to the topic at hand: Converse has come out with some super cute and creative Dr. Seuss All Stars! I love 'em! Just sad there aren't any Thing 1's in my size...





Thanks to nitrolicious for the pics!



Some of the cutest ones are gonna be too small even for the female sneaker fiends with size 4 feet! But grab those Thing 1s for me...
