Nike Huarache 'Free' Q's

Nearly 20 years after the release of the first Huarache, Nike are gearing up for a re-release of the famous shoe. Nike have brought back the hi-tech running shoe and its well known basketball variation with the addition of the Nike Freesole unit.

These trainers or at least the family, takes me back to my school days, when boys and girls all around me were sporting what I could only see as Nike rock climbing trainers. #NoACG. The trainers are okay, nostalgic folk and sneakerheads will no doubt be foaming at the mouth or doing the 'cooking' dance for days on end.  If you want the product, it will be available from your connect, from the Friday 11th November. 

Reebook GL 6000 SS11 Collection

I have been a fan of some of the most recent products, I own a pair of Paris Runners and my own pair of  GL 6000. These two are part of the Spring/Summer collection and this time, its a thumbs down from me.

Someone said, this is the best part of either colourway.

Air Jordan Retro I-XXII (1-22)

Entertaining video by a sneakerhead from Oslo, (Norway) by the name of Mike displaying his Jordan trainers, ranging from numbers 1 to 22. Now, that is what I call a collection.

All Of The Lights

Beautiful song, crazy drum programming and a Kanye & Hype video, not too out there. I'm a happy chap.

Nice to see 'Ye sporting the 3's in black at the end.

3's- Some 10 Months Later

Finally, been waiting on a long time to get my hands on these. A long time.

God bless the delivery man.

Lacoste 12 Legends

My favourite brand of all time, Lacoste, (check this blog's first post) have come up with a fresh and innovative way of reworking some of their most signature sneakers. Mr Renè Lacoste, created the world-famous L.12.12 polo shirt, back in 1933. Now Lacoste have teamed with 12 collaborators from different fields and industries to help bring some new and exciting design ideas to life. Record label Stones Throw have been tapped up, as well as retail giant, i-d Magazine and Japanese high fashion desinger, Ato, this gives you an idea on the variety of brands working together with the company. Lastly, the entire rage will be (smartly) available on 12/12, December 12.

Below, are just some of the trainers available from the 12 Legends range.

Spotted @ Hypebeast.

Highs and Lows x Reebok GL 6000's

Australian retailer Highs and Lows have collaborated with Reebok to celebrate their fifth  anniversary, with their own version of Reebok's GL 6000. I recently have a new level of respect for Reebok, I recently purchased a pair of Black Paris Runners, which are slyly decent if I say so myself. I am not so sure how I can get my hands on these, but they are an impressive pair of kicks.

Out And About

This past Friday, myself along with the boy Nate and some cool friends of his, hit up some events. We were present at Nike Reset 4, where streetwear brands such as Trapster, Benjart and ATG were showcasing fresh pieces obviously alongside the brand Bill Bowerman built, the Just Do It peeps, if you were not in the know. Also passed through some kind of event at G-Shock in Shoreditch, then ended up at the King Sample Sale in Brick Lane, where we met some nice folk, especially my guy Dan who gave me a nice deal. The pics for your eyes are to feast on are located below. Forgive the cam quality, flicks were taken on a BlackBerry.

Nike x Size? Blazer Pack Part 1

To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Size? have collaborated with Nike to design a limited edition Blazer trainer. Only 500 are being made in both colours and will be available online and instore from the 21st of August. My cuz from the States first turned my attention to the Nike Blazers a few years ago, his trainer - sneaker collection is serious. Personally, I think the black suede Blazers will be the more desired pair. I am slyly back on kicks again, its not just a Vans thing.

Fendi High Tops

Whilst doing my daily checks, I came across a very nice pair of Fendi High Tops, when I first pictured them in my mind I was expecting a madness, but to my surprise I'm really feeling them.

The monogram pattern is not overdone and the shoe is completed with a brown leather trim with a strap and buckle. As it stands I think I prefer these kicks above to the Louis Vuitton high tops.

The Fendi kicks will be available in September and can be pre-ordered from www.luisaviaroma.com 

All About The Nash Money

UK trainer customiser Alex Nash has teamed up with Lacoste to make The Bravington. The trainer is to be released in four different colourways during the next six months. The kicks below and above will be readily available in my birthday month (July).

The hi-tops are another useful reminder to keep an eye out for Lacoste footwear and Alex Nash in the upcoming months.

Lacoste Stealth Chevel Hi

Lacoste's premium line, Stealth, have been showcasing the looks of their trainers, expected in stores near you around autumn time. Just recently the label introduced the Broadwick Hi in three separate colourways, but what intrigues me more, are the the new Chevel Hi's. Not because I think they are great trainers, but because I didn't think my favourite brand were that interested in making great trainers. Also the reason I am posting, in the hope that, the fine people at Lacoste see this post and give me complimentary Chevel's to match with my polos from the same company. Anyways, feast your eyes (above and below) on the hi-tops.

3's and 4's

I have been in love with the Jordan Brand for the longest while, even the numbering gets to me. I have never purchased a pair, but I really want some classic trainers right about now. Here are my favourites from the Jordan footwear range, the highly coveted 3's and 4's.

The 3's above and below.

 The 4's now in blanc and noir once again. Just below.

 

At like £90 a pop, and me wanting both (one from each series), I might have to do some overtime at work. Either that or for me to go to the cashpoint and 'ball like a dog'. Quote courtesy of the lyrical god himself, Birdman.

The Week Ahead

Lil Wayne - Going To Jail.

After postponing his intial sentencing, because of dental problems. The rapper will start his eight months-to one year bid on Tuesday. He just shot 7 videos, the other day.

Twitter Madness - Petering out.

There has been a lot of hoopla over the last few days with some UK artists on Twitter. Here are some of the more memorable/greazy tweets. Wiley,  Jammer and Lethal.

Scratching my head at the XXL 10 Freshmen list for '10.

Some names, like OJ da Juiceman on this year's list and on the same list as J.Cole?

Wondering how its March already.

Like seriously. 1st quarter is almost done. Wow.

Trying to buy some kind of Marc by Marc Jacob Lacoste accesory. Either that or a trainer.

No that one. Allow me

... 'But They Look Like Sneakers'

A new season of Vans shoes from the 2010 Spring Line have just popped up. Since Vans are definitely are the new kids on the block, when it comes to kicks, I thought I would share. Here are some of the more interesting pieces from the shoe line and the clothing line. 

Don't tell me I don't look out for you lot. Courtesy of Urban Industry.

Nike SB Dunk's

Very nice Hi SB Dunk's, just saw them over at Kicks On Fire

I miss my SB's, someone tell me why they were living underneath a cupboard? And now they are gone. Unhappy days.

Louis Vuitton

French fashion label, Louis Vuitton are about to release a pair of kicks which are available in two colour schemes, they are very simple and I could only imagine the price of them when they drop. For those who are into them I’m not sure when they will be released but I will keep you posted.

"Look At His Pea Coat, Tell Me He's Broke Part 2"

For those who have been following HeyNuWorld from its earlier days you may recognise the title of this post, last time I brought to your attention the Vans pea coat Chukka's I now bring to you a home grown brand called "Admiral".

Admiral has been about since 1914 and was the official supplier of the British Royal Navy. They have taken the pea coat idea and applied to the footwear similar to the vans, however I feel they have implemented the idea of the pea-coat better as they have the flap which folds to enable the shoe to close as does the coat. Furthermore there are more buttons when compared to the Vans.

I once again stand undecided about these shoes, it can be dropped but only with the correct dress sense. I see it best fitting an international student particularly the Eastern Asian ones, Uni students, browse your campus and tell me if there dress sense isn't space boy fly!

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski – Obsidian

On Kicks On Fire I saw Nike have teamed up with skateboarder Stefan Janoski to create a skateboarding performance shoe. I don't know, they kind of look like a Nike version of boat shoes. All I am saying is that if the Swoosh logo had was replaced with the Vans logo, you would see them on campus and at the bottom of many Facebook Uni-Rave pictures. Thoughts?
