Now this makes an interesting collaboration. mastermind Japan has teamed up with iconic boot maker Timberland for one of a kind collaboration 6″ boots. I am surprised they did not choose the black color for the boots knowing mastermind usually sticks with the signature black. I’m actually happy they chose the wheat color. All of my Timbs are in this color and I have feeling the future ones will be as well. No details on the price of the collaboration just yet but you can look for this around S/S 2012. If you are interested it’s best to note that this collaboration obviously comes in very limited numbers.

I know sneaker heads who go all the way to equip their children with the fly kicks they themselves are wearing, but kids can only start wearing sneakers at certain age, so what can they wear before that and still keep up with daddy’s (or mummy’s) Air Jordan “hobby”. The answer is Air Jordan Baby Socks.

The release of the Air Jordan edition of Playboy is just behind the corner. The issue is featuring top 23 Air Jordan kicks of all time as well as some lovely ladies or “Sole mates” as Playboy is referring to them. Few days back Playboy released some preview pics featuring nice kicks and pin up posing in a classy Playboy manner as one might expect. Not bad at all.

Maybe it’s the fact that I have been working on some “green projects” or maybe the fact that I have been working way too much lately but this particular display really caught my attention. Loving the theme and the fact that to promote the all natural product, they decided to make the display as green as it gets. Somehow peaceful view. Not sure about plants in shoes though. Still nicely done Por Vocacao. Video after the jump.

Chopping a competing sneaker to prove a point was not enough for Adidas. They decided to chop another Nike kick to make it Crazy Light. This time with a chainsaw…

It’s always nice to compare features of a product to a competing brand for instance. You can do that in many ways but seldom the comparison is direct and happens in a video ad. Adidas in their promotion of the new 9.8 oz AdiZero Crazy Light blow a direct hit at a very significant competitor. While the short clip does have some wow effect in it, it also raised a question; “are they allowed to do that?” Still the clip is pretty funny and I recommend paying attention to the disclaimers on the bottom, kind of adds insult to the injury.

What makes Playmates the hottest women in the Universe? Is it the shoes? These are the questions Playboy is asking in their latest venture “Sole Mates” with this popular men’s magazine “ranking the top 23 Air Jordans of all time in a feature starring Playmates Francesca Frigo, Jaime Edmondson, Jessica Burciaga, Patrice Hollis, Hiromi Oshima, Tiffany Taylor, Candice Cassidy, Kimberly Phillips and Heather Rae Young.”

The ad for the “campaign” has Miss August 2010 Francesca Frigo putting a “Playboy spin on the classic Nike commercial starring Mars Blackmon and Michael Jordan.”

What do you get when you combine Chuck Taylors, awesome idea and video games? “A playable version of Space Invaders (classic) with the game formed on the wall with different Chuck Taylors flipping back and forth instead of your typical pixels.” (Freshness) The video and idea are pretty impressive. I’m pretty sure this is not the easiest adaptation of the game, but the video’s definitely worth a watch.

Via Freshness.

As the title indicates today we’ll be talking about Slam Dunk, the Manga and Anime that at least I was watching back in the day on pretty much daily basis. Cool story (about basketball, friendship and all that) great characters and of course Takehiko Inoue’s signature comic style ensured the series a huge following worldwide. Nike has teamed up with Inoue for a limited edition sneaker that at least caught my attention, the Takehiko Inoue x Slam Dunk x Nike Air Zoom Brave IV.
