GEARHEADS: Vans x Dave The Chimp Pack
Filed Under GEARHEADS | Leave a Comment
While trends are moving away from wildly vibrant colors as the forefront of the sneaker world, every now and then some kicks’ release with crazy colors that are fresh. Coming up in September is the Vans x Dave The Chimp Pack. For those that don’t know Dave The Chimp, he’s a renowned street artist known for his “nameless” street works and fanzines. This collaboration is a lesser known Vans model, the Mid Skool Pro. Besides a clean look & a clever use of the color red, the sole is see through also! Here’s some details from Highsnobiety:
This capsule collection includes a reworking of the Mid Skool Pro alongside two t-shirts utilising bright neon colours and Chimp’s instantly recognizable characters and cartoon eyes. Special attention has been paid to detailing including tattooed toes on the inner footbed, which are mirrored through the trademark Vans waffle sole in crystal clear rubber.
Chimp believes the majority of people go through life asleep and it’s been his mission for over a decade through fanzines and street art to wake people up, switch on their brains and get them thinking for themselves! Walking his own path, but keeping one beady eye on what’s happening in the streets. Chimp’s first shoe for Vans also relates to today’s club kids, whose eye catching dress sense evokes a reaction from the rest of society – a way to prove they exist, to show they are really alive, really living.
Be on the look out for these in September!

GEARHEADS: Nike SB Dunk ‘Marge Simpson’
Filed Under GEARHEADS | Leave a Comment
In similar fashion to the Nike SB Dunk Homer Simpson, we have the Marge Simpson set to release. Everything about these are fresh, except that they’re being released exclusively Asia/Pacific. For all the true sneakerheads out there, you will know how to get your hands on these. For those that don’t know how to get their hands on overseas releases, *sighs* don’t feel too bad, you can’t have em’ all. Only thing that I think these are missing, which can easily be fixed, are red shoe laces to match Marge’s necklace and shoes. Other than that, shouts out to Hypebeast for this piece of news!

I recently mentioned how DQM has been killin’ the game with their sneaker collaborations, and to put the icing on the cake, they drop their third shoe in their Nike Blazer High series. Following the same pattern as the other two, they kept the safari print (zing!), switched up the colorway, and sprinkled a little gold in for good measure. Basically, these are fly as hell! These will be released July 12th!

The Nike Air Max 95 haven’t been in the limelight in some time, so its only right to drop a banging shoe while no one expects it. There Air Max represent Miami to the fullest, and as such they will be totally exclusive to Miami. Nike also released a New York Exclusive Air Max and in my opinion, its terrible looking! Can’t win them all I expect. So if you’re in Miami, or just a major sneakerhead that knows how to get their hands on regional exclusives, be sure to cop these…

GEARHEADS: Fragment Design x Nike Zoom Tennis Classic Panda Pack
Filed Under GEARHEADS | Leave a Comment
Aside from being a mouthful, the Nike Zoom Tennis Classic Panda Pack is another one of those “nothing beats simplicity” releases that drop every now and then to reaffirm their place in this “colorfied” world. The always monochromatic Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment is behind this collaboration, and as always it remains consistent in incorporating tiny subtleties that make the shoes unique. Here’s a brief description on the release from Hypebeast:
We were first informed by Hiroshi Fujiwara earlier last month that a special pair of Fragment Design x Nike Zoom Tennis Classics would be made to help raise money for the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts. Both White and Black colorways of the Panda Pack are now available for auction at Rakuten, with proceeds going to Sichuan. The details of the Tennis Classics include the Fragment logo on the heel and “Sichuan Jia You” in chinese characters on the tongue tag, the official slogan for supporting the Sichuan relief. The sneakers will also come with a 50% Panda Be@rbrick as seen before.

GEARHEADS: Air Jordan Countdown Pack VII
Filed Under GEARHEADS | Leave a Comment
This Saturday the next round in the Air Jordan Countdown Pack is set to release. I have no doubt in my mind that these will sell out quickly. So be sure to make it to your local Jordan retailer to cop these Saturday, they will be a good addition to the collection.
This weekend marks the latest installment of the Air Jordan Countdown Pack series. With a theme revolving around two Air Jordan generations which add up to 23, previous releases have seen the II/XIX, VI/XVII and X/XIII. This pack features the “Hare” VII and the Black/Red XVI with removable shroud. Look for this pack to hit stores on Saturday, June 21st at select Jordan retailers.
