ROSA!!!! (Nuff Said)

Nike Air Classic BW - White/Beige/Brown


Upon its release in 1991, the Nike Air Classic BW featured the largest visible Air Unit to date, but that title was taken away by later models, most notably the Nike Air Max 93 and it’s 270-degree Air Unit. Thankfully, the BW hasn’t been forgotten; we still see a number of new colorways and it’s also available for NikeID customization, but most recently the BW was transformed into the Nike Air BW Gen II used to present Nike’s new Torch material. This latest colorway of the Nike Air Classic BW features a simple earthy combination of white, beige, and brown, and can be pre-ordered now at Crooked Tongues. Sneaker News

Air Jordan IX (9) Retro White True Red Black

Regardless of a dope new colorway, limited quantity, or hype, the OG trumps all. Gluttonous Jordan fans are being treated to a number of great Air Jordan IX Retros in 2010 but the tried-and-true original Chicago Bulls colorway can never be tried or denied. Although the OG colorway of the Air Jordan IX released just two years ago as part of the Air Jordan IX/XIV Countdown Package, a stand-alone release will hit us this August. The Air Jordan IX is one of the least produced of the Air Jordan Retros and MJ himself never wore a pair in an NBA game until his final season as a Washington Wizard, but the 2010 releases should boost the IX back into the limelight.

Levi’s® Pioneer Sessions –
Nas “Hey Young World”


Nas covers Slick Rick’s “Hey Young World” for Levi’s new Pioneer Sessions campaign.

“Nas doesn’t possess Rick’s comic sensibility, but he did inherit from Rick a keen sense for the way precise detail and carefully chosen perspective can enrich a short story, the kind that populated Illmatic and his subsequent work. Nas’ re-crafting of “Hey Young World” is true to its source, though its harder, metallic edges suggest a bluntness caused by twenty-plus years without progress.”

Check out the behind the scenes video above and download the track here.

Wale x Nike Zoom Trainer Huarache

The sneaker community can always count on Wale to unveil highly anticipated Nike sneakers months before they hit stores. This time around, Wale unveils an unseen colorway of the Nike Zoom Trainer Huarache. According to Mr. Folarin, this Zoom Trainer Huarache colorway is also set to drop Holiday 2010.

I attended the Rosa Acosta, Wale, and Young Dro party the other night with photographer/homie FreddyO in ATL. The funny this is, I was greeted by one of the party promoters from Certified Entertainment, and he is actually a TSG reader and community member by the name of Certified1. Anyhow, let me stay on track because this website is dedicated to sneakers. However, I must admit that the night was about networking, but I wasn’t mad at all seeing the super sexy Rosa Acosta in person. Thank God for women, and I’ll leave it at that.

As you can imagine, several celebrities were in attendance at the party, so check out the pics after the jump, and get a detailed look at Zoom Trainer Huarache.

Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” Retro
A Closer Look


Originally previewed last month, we now get a closer look into the upcoming “Powder Blue” Air Jordan 9 retro. Although not exactly the same shade, the kicks still offer up a clean palette as the upper consists of a white leather with university blue and black adding a strong touch of contrast. These are set to drop on May 29th, 2010 and will be available through Jordan Brand accounts, including Primitive.

HUF x Dennis McGrath


HUF worked with photographer Dennis McGrath on a sexually explicit series of tees and skate decks.

“Dennis McGrath was born in New Jersey in 1969. He became interested in photography when he started skateboarding in the mid-80’s. In 1994 he took a more serious interest while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. From 1995-2005 he shot for most major skateboard publications worldwide. In 2005 Dennis stepped away from photographing skateboarding to focus on more personal documentary type work. He is interested in story-telling through the photographic process with the use of text and ephemera to help tell a story. His work was shown in the Bay Area Now 4 show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2005 as part of the Hamburger Eyes exhibit. He lives and works in San Francisco and Los Angeles.”

Wiz Khalifa - The Statement

Nike Dunk High Supreme LE
Polka Dot – Fall 2010

These Nike Dunk High Supreme’s foster subtle tones with just enough added flavor to set itself from the rest of the numerous Dunks that come out. In a slick Black/Matte Silver palette, the upper is also garnished with large polka dots that are cleverly patterned for a co-ed friendly look. The overall look of the upper almost looks as if its 3M reflective, but there are no descriptions indicative of it being so; just simple the matte silver giving it that feel. As you can see on the tongue, these Dunks also get equipped with Zoom unit soles, as we’ve seen on a bunch of Dunks released back in 2008. Officially part of the Fall 2010 season, they’re spotted early overseas (as usual) but expect them in a couple of weeks. via Atmos-Tokyo
