Smurf meets Tron? Whatever the futuristic blue-green hue and silver Swoosh inspires, the new colorway of the Nike Dunk High should appeal to those who like to play it cool and wouldn’t mind adding a little ostentation to their stride. The new colorway features neon aqua color, with Nike’s special safari print accent on the front, contrasted with patent black leather lace placket and heel to add that extra high-octane shine to the rest of the shoe and to complement the silver Swoosh. These are currently available online via mita, for those who are not afraid of wearing a little color on their feet and enjoys putting their best foot forward.

This is a burrito that is four times the size of your regular Chipotle burrito. But when Nike Sportswear tells you to head down to the Koi Fusion taco truck for a “Destroyer Burrito”, it seems like a mammoth edible burrito complete with jalepenos and salsa is quite fitting for the name “Destroyer”, so it has to be a burrito, right? Wrong. For those who had been keeping up with Nike Sportswear on Facebook and Twitter, and actually headed down to Koi Fusion taco truck and said the password, “Destroyer Burrito”, they have been surprise gifted with a Nike Sportswear Destroyer Jacket, wrapped in aluminum foil, masquerading around as a Tex-Mex delight. The Koi Fusion collaboration was a hit in Portland, and this successfully gears up the city for the upcoming Musicfest NW Festival. Check out the video, and maybe it’s time for us to all make some noise to bring some fusion taco trucks to our cities (with Nike Sportswear and some free Destroyer Jackets on board, of course!).

For men, G-Star has recently released its Fall 2010 collection of raw and distressed denim, some more military-inspired than others. But for the ladies, some of G-Star’s highlights are highly constructive dresses with drapey silhouettes, zippers, and crowl necks held back with Velcro fastening. G-Star has also taken on reinterpreting the shirt-dress, which has been a popular item for the ladies since it came into the sartorial spotlight a few years ago. This year, the shirt-dress slightly more feminine with a tad of a babydoll shape, but a little more rugged with two-chest pockets, rivets and more visible stitching. These are currently available at retailers such as Standard.

The Nike Sport Culture Division was famous for releasing series of Dunks fitted with flexible soles. Although, the Trainer Dunk was not the release of Nike SB, but the swoosh label seemed to be almost from them. The Nike Sportswear is now working mostly to develop hybrid models on a large scale. The Nike 6.0 oncore high premium comes with a sole very similar to those of the earlier Trainer Dunks. And the colorway also seems to be very akin to the Newsprint colorway of the old model.

Even the accents used in purple are matching. The Oncore certainly has a very dark aura surrounding its design. It consists of a dark shadow colored upper made of suede. It is touched with accents of dark purple, a color that looks like ink. Even the Nike swoosh dons the dark base in a classic looking dark purple. The sole of Nike 6.0 oncore high premium is featured with traction patterns. The stable side ankle support feature allows the user to make even big jumps effortlessly.

The leather upper is breathable and the mesh tongue increases the comfort factor. While, the synthetic overlays makes it a perfectly fitting shoe, the phylon midsole provides the comfortable feel of lightweight cushioning. The leather laces are the last of the features that make you feel that this shoe can be surely called the dark-knight. It is designed for the sturdy and adventure loving users, who require high levels of grip on any kind of surface.
Grab your pair from the nearest Nike retailer.

John McGloin, the same man who brought you the Air Jordan Storage Box, recently completed another sneaker-inspired work of art. McGloin, who focuses on function when designing, built this coffee table with a very familiar shoe’s sole serving as the tabletop. The “Infrared” Air Jordan 6′s outsole was blown up and copied on to this wooden creation, which even has details like the repeating circles tread design.
