Nike Air Structure Retro Samples

When it was known that 2007 would represent the return of the Nike Air Structure, many people rejoiced. Things just got a bit better with a preview of some more upcoming colorways for this classic running shoe. When the Air Structure debuted almost 20 years ago, it represented a top of the line sneaker for those runners with overpronating gaits and the need for cushioning. These latest samples have returned with some nice simple colorways. They feature vertical striping which according to a source will be removed for the final product. Stay tuned for more details.

A placeholder image has been put up on the site.

Double Brim Caps Are Coming

A few weeks ago it was really disappointing to hear that the double brim caps designed by the Goodfoot crew were not going to be realized by New Era. But thankfully that could not stop them in producing the most funny headgear we have seen in a while.
Matt George now shows first samples of the Double Brim caps and as you can see you can be pretty sure for a good laugh once the collection hits stores.

New Huf 5 - Panel Caps

Here you see once again some new Huf 5-Panel caps that dropped these past days. They come in red/black, red/blue and purple/green. The design is certainly a bit special and can probably best be defined as "modern art" of some kind. The caps are now available at all Huf Stores.

Nike Air Structure Retro

Although this may take the fun of your hunting for that elusive OG Air Structure, for those who have been in the quest for awhile only to come up short handed can perhaps find some comfort in the notion that these OG classics will get retroed sometime later this year or beginning of 2008. After its release back in the early 1990’s, this sneaker has commanded tons of air play from vintage collectors. Stay tuned for the release of actual sample pictures as well as additional colorways.
