This summer, Nike SB has a pair of Dunks that honor the OG of skateboarding video games. More than a decade before Tony Hawk signed a deal with Activision, were Atari’s 720° and Electronic Arts “Skate or Die”. Though any one can have an opinion which of the two retro gaming classics was better, Skate or Die was popular enough to have a sequel and was re-released again in 2007.

Taking inspiration from the cover of the game, the Nike Dunk SB “Skate or Die” feature the eye catching colors of the late 80s along with the confetti accents on the rear half of the shoes. A month has not yet been set, but these will be a summer release.

An interesting collaboration to say the least is this one between Reebok and Kool-Aid. Kool Aid one of the most beloved things of the 90’s is coming together with Reebok to release a pack of sneakers based on some of Kool Aid’s original flavors. These Reebok’s actually have a good amount of Kool-Aid branding on the shoes. We’re still not sure when and where these are coming out or if you can redeem your Kool-Aid points for them, so stay tuned for more information.

Purchaze received the

Nike Air Structure Triax 91 in the “Metallic Summit White/Teal-Black-Infrared” Colorway.

First released back in 1990, the Nike Air Structure Triax 91 immediately became an iconic shoe. Since initial release it has never been available - until now. Combined with the Nike Footbridge technology with the Air unit but the real feature that snapped necks was the infrared accents on the instep. The original Colorway of the Nike Air Structure has a classic shape made of smooth black/grey suede, white mesh accents and the lovely teal swoosh. At the heel you can find the infrared Nike stitching.

Check that out.
