Sneaker Fix -- Air Jordan V(5) Retro T23

Nike Harajuku has launched the Jordan Tokyo 23 Collection and it includes 2 forms the Air Jordan V (5) Retro T23 (pictured) and the Jordan CP3.IV T23. I really like the sneakers they are yellow nubuck leather with cement grey and white accents, which is perfect for the springtime. This sneaker is definitely a must have and will be available at all Jordan brand retailers in Japan, so for most of the people who cannot get to Japan I'm sure you'll be able to cop these kicks online! Check the deets below!

Gilbert Arenas x D&G against the L.A lakers

Its no secret that most sports athletes boast a flashy lifestyle, I guess it just comes with the territory. Setting yourself apart other players is pretty hard when you're rocking the same jersey and very similar shoes. Although standing out fashion-wise isn't at the top of the priority list it is somewhat important to the basketball fashionisto's.

Gilbert Arenas loves a fancy kick and during his game against the L.A Lakers on Dec 7th, he decided his D&G high top sneakers were going to be his shoe of choice and man did he work it out. The black blue and yellow D&G sneaks matched his jersey to a tee and we love a dope match! These sneaks cost $395 but does it really matter when you look this fly? ughhh NO! Check Picks of the sneakers and Arenas in action below!

NYC singer Santigold has teamed up with Vans to create this fab sneaker combining her two fave elements, black and gold. The hi top sneaker comes in perforated black leather with gold chains, eyelets and they are actually hot!

These sneakers are very different from the usual Vans silhouette and I'm definitely a fan, they have this cool vibe about them. This collab is featured in Vans Spring/Summer 2011 collection, so we'll keep you posted when they drop! Check more images below!

Kiss It or Diss It? -- Air Jordan II Candy Pack

Trick or Treat check my feet, see these new J's made for me!

Halloween is literally around the corner and in the spirit of the season the Jordan brand is releasing some new 2's in red, green and yellow colorways. Now personally I don't think these are halloween colors their more like a Caribana sneaker as apposed to a Halloween one but that's just my opinion. The only ones I can reallly rock with would probably be the green and black joints mainly because green is my fave color, but only if I was playing ball or something. They are definitely not an everyday shoe, but I guess they're not supposed to be cute since they're made to go with a costume. These kicks were supposed to be released a few days before Halloween but Jordan pushed them back to Nov 7th *womp* so much for me rocking them with my goblin fit lol. Check the sneakers below!!

Sneaker Fix -- Nike SB Dunk Low & Dunk Mid – Street Fighter Pack

I remember as a kid me my brothers and my cousins would always battle each other in Street fighter I was either Ryu or Blanka and believe that game was my drug.

This season Nike SB has introduced their Street fighter sneakers inspired by Ryu and Chun Li, and they definitely got the sneaker world buzzing about them probably because the game was so popular back in the day.

The Chun Li shoe is all blue with a yellow Nike swoosh and yellow stitching whereas the Ryu shoe, is cream coloured with a red Nike swoosh and black detailing both matching each characters fit in the game! More pics of the shoes and their insoles below!
