Our friends at KIKS TYO have put together a little video teasing us of what’s to come from the brand in the Spring and Summer 2012 season. New Sneaker & Girl tees are not the only thing coming up, the good folks at KIKS TYO have also put together a KIKS GIRL DVD which will be available through KIKS TYO next spring (2012). The photography is by KIKS TYO’s founder HOBBY:TECH and just to add to the teasers, the style is slightly different from the last few seasons from KIKS TYO. For now we have a little teaser video and plenty more to come. All I can say is that the S&S 2012 collection is looking hot.

The last day of Nike Mag 2011 auction. You still have a chance to cop a pair of these instant classics. The prices have settled a bit since the first day of auction and you can now get yours for a mere sum of 3000 USD (or even less). Even celebrities like Kanye West and MLB pitcher Brian Wilson (of the San Francisco Giants) have been spotted rocking the shoes. But these people can easily afford the 10k USD shoes. I read that Wilson actually bought two pairs of which one is in use where as other remains in ice.

This is just madness. You might think you have an impressive collection of kicks, think again. The ShoeZeum has a sneaker collection unlike I have ever seen before. Better yet, now we can all get an idea of the collections’s massive awesomeness that can barely be described by words. I mean imagine pretty much every significant limited edition sneaker ever released all in one place. I bet there is no sneaker head out there that’s not impressed with the collection.

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.

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.

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.

Right so when you cop a pair of new Jordans, the first thing is either to put them next to the other cool sneakers on your shelf or put them on and just enjoy the feeling of new shoes. Nothing like the new shoe smell by the way. Only topped by the new car smell I suppose. But for some, they have more sinister plans for the shoes, or perhaps I should say artistic ones. Artist Freehand Profit sure had other plans for a pair of Air Jordans when he created this custom gas mask.

Something cool I came across yesterday. A cool pair of kicks inspired by a “cult movie” of sorts. If you’re not familiar with these two fellas, it’s best you start by watching a trailer for their 1978 flick “Up in Smoke.”

I watched Seinfeld pretty much the entire time it was playing in Finland back in the day. Funny series with funny people. One thing I never really paid that much attention to was how awesome Seinfeld’s sneaker game was. I remember he wore different kicks all the time, but Complex actually had put together a complete guide to Mr. Seinfeld’s kicks. I never realized he actually wore such a variety. Kudos to Jerry, a true Sneaker Head. Seriously cool stuff.
