Purchaze received the

Reebok Pump Running Dual in the “White/Bright Purple/Laser Pink/Grey” Colorway.

Reebok introduced the “Pump” technology in 1989. It provides the ultimate in a custom fit and support system. The honeycomb is one of the strongest yet lightest shapes found in nature. With modification, it was the theory behind the development of Reebok´s Hexalite technology. The Hexalite honeycomb design spreads shock over a larger area then EVA or polyurethane. As a result it combines cushioning and light weight for superb performance!

Check that out.

From 1992 to 1993. From the Philadelphia 76ers to the Phoenix Sun. From the Nike Air Force 180 to the Nike Air Force Max ‘93. From a role model to “I’m not a role model”. From the Olympics and back, there were many changes during this period and in this history of the Nike Air Force Max ‘93 Sir Charles Barkley was in the center of each. This coming March 2008, Nike will reintroduce (or Retro) the Nike Air Force Max ‘93 and many who grew up watching Sir Charles in the early 90s, this should be a welcome comeback.

In 2008 Nike SB will release a few Nike Dunk´s inspired by 1980’s skateboarding video games. We reported on a couple of Nike SB 2008 samples. The Nike Dunk Low SB “Skate or Die” will also release next year, and the theme comes from the 1987 Skate or Die video game artwork. As you can see the Dunks feature a bright and colorful make up just like the Skate or Die cover.

It’s been reported that the Nike Dunk Low SB “Skate or Die” will release early 2008. Stay tuned for more updates on Nike’s SB line up for next year.

Dee Brown was not only a hero for Celtics fans when he won the 1991 Slam Dunk title with his “No Look” Dunk, but also did alot for Boston area based Reebok. The following season Dee Brown got to pump up in his own signature shoes when he took the court.

The Dee Browns have not been seen in years, but not yet forgotten. They are being brought back next year in the Reebok “Bring Back” Package. White and black complimented with purple and light blue accents have us asking when.

A few sites have incorrectly reported that these are exclusive to a few shops in Japan. No need to fear, they will be available in the US/Europe in early 2008.

One of the most strikingly original shoes of this year is the new Nike ACG Terra, designed by Nike’s Michael Sarantakos. It’s actually a second crack at the Long Ball sandal, which was created by Mike Aveni for big wave rider Laird Hamilton to train in. With a crazy ‘waffle’ sole lashed to a running upper and cement-free ‘Considered’ thinking employed in the construction, the TERRA is a water-friendly trail shoe that’s lightweight and outrageous in popping vintage colors. We were digging on the lilac/gold/pink colorway and realised it reminded us of some vintage rarities.

There’s also a matching sister shoe known as the Pocket Knife which appears to have some similarities with the old Footscape in terms of side-lacing. That flap, in case you’re wondering, is for keeping debris out of your laces! We’re tipping ‘em as future obscurists classics – can you dig it?

Very nice and interesting looking Nike Blazer Mid Premium with a black woven upper and a perforated leather metallic gold swoosh. Also note the cool glowing star in the back of the heel. Very interesting and pretty nice, perhaps a Japan release for now.
