New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

For most sneaker connoisseurs, the Winter months usually means putting sneakers back in their silica pack laden boxes in favor of Boots. For those that still prefer to finish their winter kit off with a pair of kicks, Nike recently released a pair of Nike Dunk Hi´s Gore Tex/Weatherproof as part of the Black/Royal WP pack. The Nike Dunk Hi “Black/Royal” Gore Tex features a Black/Royal Leather/Gore Tex upper. The Gore Tex WP upper transforms the classic Basketball sneaker into Weatherproof Winter footwear.

The Nike Dunk Hi “Black/Royal” Gore Tex is available now at select Nike accounts overseas.

A new pic of what has been nicknamed the Nike Dunk SB Mid “Donatello” recently hit the Net. Set to release during the Summer of 2008, the Nike Dunk SB Mid “Donatello” features a Green/Brown/Purple colorway reminiscent of Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a classic 90’s cartoon that spawned several feature films, action figures, video games, and much more.

Though info is still sparse on this release, we will continue to track the Nike Dunk SB Mid “Donatello” to its release.

Following a story, here are the first images of the next waves of the Tech Pack. Nike designers, Michael Leon and Jarrett Reynolds have created a new tier of apparel with performance options (like no-sew seams) thrown at a host of classic Nike models, as well as some non-traditional sports garments.

Unlike the Okwahn and Rhyolite in the first series, the second series of Tech Pack shoes has been developed with a color palette that is completely independent to the apparel, so don’t go expecting some crazy mix-up Windrunners anytime soon. Speaking of color, we’re seriously digging the Nike Air Max 1 in the yellow-midnight navy color above, but the orange/blue/green safari monster below is probably pushing the boundaries of good taste - each to their own I suppose. 2008 release.
