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

We have been deprived of good sneaker collaborations in a while. Just when we thought all was lost, Chris Keeffe from DQM gives us a preview of an upcoming Nike Blazer Hi “DQM” on his blog. It looks like two colorways will be available, purple and black. The Blazers feature safari print upper and a DQM logo on the heel of the shoe. More details will follow this coming Friday April 25th.

Late next month, Jordan Brand is set to release a two sneaker tribute to James Ronald “Ronnie” Jordan. Ronnie Jordan, Michael Jordan’s older brother, served 31 years in the Armed Forces, 1 more year than the required serving time as he chose to accompany his brigade through a 1 year tour of duty through Iraq. At the time if his retirement, Ronnie held the rank of Command Sergeant Major of the 35th Signal Brigade, the Army’s only airborne signal brigade. His rank is the top job for an enlisted signal soldier.

To commemorate Ronnie Jordan’s time of service, Jordan Brand created the Armed Forces Pack. As part of this pack, Jordan Brand is set to release two pairs of Nike Air Jordan Retro 1´s. The first Nike Air Jordan Retro 1 “Armed Forces” features a Dark Brown Nubuck/Light Brown Pebbled Leather upper with a frayed Army Green Canvas swoosh. The color choice was selected to mirror the colors on a soldiers uniform. To commemorate, Ronnie’s rank, Jordan Brand placed an embroidered rank emblem at the outer heel of the sneaker. The rank emblem closely resembles the rank emblem Ronnie held but was slightly altered to respect the Armed Service and the soldiers that obtain the rank.

The Nike Air Jordan Retro 1 “Armed Forces” is scheduled to release in late May in the States and has already released overseas.

The madness may be over, but school spirit never sleeps.

This year has been a big year for the Nike Dunks as well as school spirit expressed through footwear. We all know about the Nike Be True To Your School Dunks that were released earlier this year, but Nike has done something special for the “TRUE” fans of three schools. Nike wanted to create a set of three Dunks to pay homage to the fans who will eat, sleep, live, and die for their school’s team - North Carolina, Georgetown, and Syracuse.

Several pairs of the Syracuse Orangemen Dunk Lows were released at a special school event a short while ago, but we have yet to see the Georgetown Hoyas and North Carolina Tar Heels pairs until now. Like the lows, both utilize their school colors across patent leather and Kevlar-looking canvas. The school mascot is written in big, bold lettering like on the Nike Terminators.

At this point in time we have no release details, but judging by the goal of these shoes, expect for these to be something limited and released in conjunction with the respective University’s event. Sport banquet tickets just rose in value.
