Aug 19 · Nike Big Nike High + Blazer High - Spike Lee Pack
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee’s classic film, Do The Right Thing, as well as the director’s long relationship with Nike and the Air Jordan line, several recent sneakers have paid homage to their history together. We’ve already seen the Do The Right Thing Air Jordan 1 pack and the lace lock nod on the White/Cement Air Jordan Force Fusion IV, and now Nike will join Jordan Brand in honoring Spike. A new Spike Lee pack is on the way featuring a Big Nike High in an Air Jordan 1 color scheme and a Blazer High with a white upper and red/black/green accents. Both pairs sport a red tongue label with an illustration of Spike’s trademark glasses. If you’re feeling one or both, be on the lookout for these at select Nike retailers late next month.

Skateboarders and sneaker fans may be thinking about the autumn collections of their favorite shoe company but Vans is already thinking ahead to 2008. The Vans Mountain Edition Highs are a high top version of the shoe maker’s traditional skate shoe with checkerboard design. This shoe should not be much more expensive than other Vans offerings and it is ideal for skateboarders hat need greater ankle support.
The best part about the Vans Mountain Edition Highs is the strap affixed for your comfort over the shoe laces. You can use the Velcro strap to keep your feet protected while you are boarding and easily take your shoes off by ripping the strap from its Velcro landing. You should save some money from the holidays and head down to your local shoe store in early 2008 to get these great shoes.

Kanye Designing His Louis Vuitton Don
Everybody knows Kanye used to call himself the Louis Vuitton Don. In 2006, he walked on stage at the Def Poetry Jam carrying an LV bag -which wasn’t even available until then- against a backdrop of stacked LV trunks. Not long after that, he hires LV-designer/artist/muse Takashi Murakami as art director for his ‘Graduation’ album. Yeezy might as well have been wearing a T-shirt that said: “Where are you Jacobs?”
Radii Straight Jacket
Radii (ray-dee-eye) footwear was launched in Fall 2008 but because of designs like the Radii Straight Jacket, they are already making a splash. This distinctive design features two buckles around the forefoot and one around the ankle, a side zipper and (to top it all off) striking metallic colors. Although buckles are rarely seen on sneakers, you do expect to find them on sneakers named “Straight Jacket.” And, they work well.
