Nike Zoom Kobe V Ink

From Hypebeast:

The Nike Zoom Kobe V has debuted in a brand new colorway dubbed “Ink”. The kick is cloaked in a reflective purple finish, with contrasting purple accents surrounding the upper. The swoosh, sole, and tongue logo have been done up in grey, with the showstopper appearing at the creased upper giving the kick a liquid feel. These are set to drop next month, priced at $130 USD.

I still prefer my Miles Davis'...but these are cool too.

Vans West vs. East (and Europe) Fourty-Four Hi Pack

Well, I'm not the biggest shoehead, and I'm not gonna pretend to be...sometimes I see things I like though. These were actually brought to my attention by Drew. The orange ones and the black and blue ones look pretty sick with the upcoming East & West unis for the NBA All Star Game next week in Phoenix.








Here's the info on em from Hypebeast:
Created under the pretense of an innovative cupsole sneaker with a toned down profile, the Vans Fourty-Four Hi sees itself in the middle of a multi-party collaboration to kick things off for spring 2009. Bringing on-board West Coast representatives Crooks & Castles (and mystery shop), East Coast crew 5Boro of New York (and mystery shop) City and Danny Wainwright of the UK, a total of five models can be seen in a West vs. East vs. Europe affair. Availability will be exclusive to each coasts while the arguably hottest joint via Danny Wainwright will be available to all starting this month.
