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

Anyone can buy retro releases of old models in perfect shape, but to some, a true sneakerhead is wearing something that looks older than he or she is. Several brands are throwing those sneakerhead OG wannabes a bone with “vintage” looking kicks. These are classic models made just the way they were back in the day, but have been aged to look like you just grabbed them from the thrift store.

With the right clothes like tattered jeans and a little rougher than normal T-shirt one could pull off the look, but don’t look like a fool wearing a crisp white T-shirt with these new Nike Terminators Hi “Vintage”. Look for more shoes ready for dumpster diving to hit the scene next year.

From the looks of what we have seen from Nike for the summer and fall seasons of 2008 they have been heading in the right direction. This trend continues with some nice colorways of the Nike Dunk Hi Premium pictured in an arrangement featuring the “premium” materials of Suede, Nubuck, Tumbled Leather, Smooth-Grain Leather, Gum Midsole and Bottoms and finally “Horse Hair” in the corresponding color. Look for the “Horse Hair” Colorways (Orange 317892-811, Royal 317892-412, Grey 317892-011) to drop between April and June, and the Olive (317892-381) and Cool-Grey’s(317892-061) between July and August.
