Nike KD V Elite-White/Metallic Gold

The media image of the Nike Elite series 2.0 were released a few weeks ago and now we have seen more colorways of each shoe. This picture shows the white and gold colorway that is very similar to last years' home Elites. This is the KD V Elite sneaker on court.

You can see the gold flywheel and what looks to be a black exposed air unit. Durant has chosen also to go back to the ever-popular low top cut we saw on the KD IV. Let me know if any Aviators plan on copping these joints. Go aves!

Nike LeBron X "Red Suede"

LeBron James had all the sneakerheads in the world going bananas when he broke out some all-red, suede PEs earlier in the season. Goldtankdawg then just recently posted pictures of some red suede joints that look very similar to the ones James wore on court.

                                     

One thing to note is that on the previous LeBron X NSW releases, there was only one lion on the back of the medial heel on the right shoe. Even though this is clearly just a sample, both shoes have the lion crest. I am certainly excited for these, do you think these are better than the "Hazelnut Suede" shoes? Let me know, keep posted for a possible release date. Go aves!

Nike LeBron 11?

I realize it is still very early to be sure as the Nike LeBron X Elite has yet to come out, but these images did come from a reputable source. The LeBron X has been a very successful model and will be hard to top. Most of its success has come off the court though. The supposed LeBron 11 seems to have more of a performance vibe.

This seems to be the Carbon-esque colorway that had a style code leaked earlier in the year. It seems to have a mostly hyperposite upper with the backward swoosh that first debuted in the previous LeBron. It also looks to have a strap across the laces that is reminiscent of the one on the Nike Zoom KD IV. The labeling on the midsole suggests that Nike has gone back to the unexposed Zoom unit in the forefoot, and most likely in the heel as well. Let me know what you think. Go aves!

Nike Barkley Posite Max "76ers"

The Nike Barkley Posite Max shoe has been one of the successful new silhouettes from Nike this year. The shoe is a mix of a few Barkley signatures and a foamposite material. Here is a new colorway set to drop on April 20th. It has been dubbed the "76ers" for a good reason.

You can see the foamposite material is all a royal blue color with a red swoosh on the lateral side. There seems to be a glow-in-the-dark outsole which is common on the Barkley Posites. The sneaker will retail for $235. Let me know if you like it. Cop or not? Go aves!

Nike Air Max 1 Premium SP-Black/White

The Nike Air Max 1 is probably on of the most successful air max models to come from Nike. Here we see a new version that has an all black leather upper and a white midsole. The leather looks incredibly soft and nice quality.

It is a shame we do not see leather like this from Jordan Brand. These released today in Asia, but there is no release date yet for the States. Do you like these or any of the air maxes? Keep posted for more information on this shoe and everything shoes. Go aves!

Adidas Originals x Bape x UNDFTD Collection

Two enormous powerhouse streetwear brands, UNDFTD and Bape, have teamed up with Adidas to release a series of 3 kicks. The shoes are part of an Adidas Consortium collection and they won't be easy to come by. If you know the brand A Bathing Ape, then you would be familiar with the ever-popular Bape-camo seen somewhere on each shoe. To me, that is a good look.

There are two colorways on the Campus model:

There is one colorway for the ZX 5000 as well:

My personal choice would be the navy Campus one. The branding of UNDFTD and Bape is very minimal. You can only see the printed "UNDFTD-BAPE" next to the traditional Adidas three stripes on the Campus versions. From the picture given, I cannot see any non-Adidas branding on the ZX 5000. Let me know how you like any of them. Go aves!

Nike SB "Palm Tree"

Nike SB has been pretty quiet so far in 2013. Lately we have been seeing teaser images, teasing tweets,  early release pics, and even catalog pages. One of the more recent pictures leaked show a Dunk Low with spring colors and a palm tree on the tongue tag.

Speaking totally hypothetically, the palm tree could be representing a brand. I don't know what brand holds that logo, but there is not much information at this point. Are you an SB head like myself? Is it a plane cop or not? Go aves!

Nike Hyperdunk 2013

The 2012 Nike Hyperdunk was a bit of a bust for the large brand. Following the previous model which was quite popular and worn by the likes of Blake Griffin and Jeremy Lin, this years version wasn't as well received. In late 2012, we saw pics of what was supposed to be the Hyperdunk 2013. We now have more pics from a seller on eBay.

 
 

You can see the exposed flywire that was introduced in the 2012 Hyperdunk. It has a lunarlon cushion midsole with hyperfuse mesh making up most of the upper. Personally Im not too big on the shoe itself but the technology involved seems as though it would be a nice performance model. Let me know how you like them. Go aves!

Vans Syndicate Era x Carhartt 3M

For skaters and sneakerheads alike, Vans has a new collaboration that is hitting retailers now.

Each of the sneakers have the typical vulcanized midsoles on the Era model. The mid-panel of each colorway is completely 3M which you can see shines bright in the flash of a camera. POINT AND SHOOT! If you want one of these shoes you'll have to check your local skate shop or other Vans retailer. Go aves!

LeBron X "Hazelnut Suede"

Following the madness of the LeBron X Corks, Nike has decided to let the Sportswear side of their brand have another crack at the NBA's best player's signature shoe.

It sports a brown suede upper with Carolina blue laces, tongue, and outsole. Retail will be $250 once more and they will come in an NSW box too. The set release date is April 26th, so if you plan on copping, you best be hustling to get up the cash. Let me know if we might see some Aviators wearing this kick. Stay tuned to SycSneakGeek for more news on shoes. Go aves!

Drop-of-the-Day

Today, Saturday April 6th, the drop of the day in my opinion was the Jordan 1 Retro OG "Celtics."

I say this because I think its a dope colorway. It will definitely match some school spirit! I also love what seems to be the hardwood print around the toebox, up the eyelets, and on the back panels. The Jordan 1 silhouette is always clean. Let me know if you like it. Was it a cop or drop? Go aves!

All-Red Nike Air Yeezy ?

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 caused uproar throughout sneaker stores around the US. It was easily the most hyped silhouette of last year. Here we might be seeing a sneak peek of the possible third colorway. As many of you probably know the original Nike Air Yeezy had 3 colorways. The second installment has yet to drop that third shoe, this may be that shoe. It has strong resemblance to the Louis Vuitton Dons for all our fashion followers. For those who don't know, the Louis Vuitton Don was a collaboration shoe between Louis Vuitton and the loved Kanye West. Personally I love the Dons, so this colorway naturally grabs my attention. If you look close you might be able to see an NSW on the tag protruding from the ankle area, could this be a possible Nike Sportswear Release? It would make sense.Let us know if we might see this on any Aviator feet should they drop. Also, if you see any release dates, they most likely not right if they have come this early. Good looks, go aves!
