NIKEiD Paul Rodriguez 5 Mid | Available Now

It wasn’t long ago that we were reporting ’s fifth signature shoe for Nike SB was debuting on NIKEiD, the first shoe from Nike’s skateboarding division to appear on the sneaker customizing platform. Built with Lunarlon cushioning like the Koston 1 before it, the P-Rod 5 was a fairly low-profile shoe, its standout option on the ability to select different colors of elephant print on the quarter panel. That option has remained with the P-Rod 5 Mid, which is now available on NIKEiD. In fact, as far as we can tell the material and color options for both the Mid and Low are identical, so if you’ve been playing around with design ideas for the Low but were waiting for the Mid, you’re way ahead of the game. In case you haven’t, click through to check out a few sample concepts to get you started.

Converse First String Shooter – Suede Pack

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 03:00 AM PDT

Converse First String Shooter   Suede Pack

One could argue that this is what CONVERSE does best: create low-profile sneakers featuring a no-frills design in wearable colors that one could pair with jeans, chinos or even a suit. The First String Shooter is built with a tonal suede upper and white midsole. Details include metal eyelets and constrast-colored heel strip in navy leather. To say more would almost be a disservice to the shoe’s appealing stark simplicity. Available now in cream or brown colorways at all UNDFTD chapters and online. Click through for more looks.

Casio G Shock x Beauty & Youth   5th Anniversary AWG 500

Casio G-Shock range is often associated with rugged models, however the AWG-500 is a much more refined watch, possessing sleek design and mature aesthetics. Japanese fashion brand Beauty & Youth took the opportunity to team up with Casio for their 5th anniversary, designing their original AWG-M500BY. The matte black exterior sets off the silver details on the dials, providing versatility for formal and casual occasions. Ion Plating protects the watch from scratches and rusting, while the Tough Solar technology keeps the watch ticking without the need to replace its batteries. The watch is safely packed in a custom box and it will be available at retail stores shortly.

SALONG BETONG x Reebok Classic Leather Ultralite | CALIROOTS Exclusive

SALONG BETONG x Reebok Classic Leather Ultralite | CALIROOTS Exclusive

In the city of Stockholm, its hard not to hear references to Den Ökända Slaong Betong (roughly translated as “The Infamous Saloon Concrete”) when the conversation subject is tattoo. While it isn’t the only tattoo salon in this urban mecca of just over 1 million people, it garners quite a following thanks largely to its close association with Stockholm’s street and nightlife cultures. Such rooted connections led to the salon’s newest creation, the SALONG BETONG x Classic Leather Ultralite. A revamped variant of the iconic Reebok Classic Leather, Bleckan and Danne, owners of SALONG BETONG, replaced the plain upper with quilted patterns as well as premium leather. Added on was the lighter Ultralite 3D outsole, more than enough to on the pavement poundings. Finally, a special embroidered tongue tag with both Reebok and SALONG BETONG’s insignia, also in a tonal white layout. Limited to 33 pairs only worldwide, the design will be available on Thursday, October 6th, exclusively through SIX FOOT DOWN of CALIROOTS in Stockholm.

VANS x Disney – Minnie Couture

VANS x Disney   Minnie Couture

Streetwear aficionados have seen enough Disney collaborations limited to images of Mickey’s smiling mug on hoodies and tees that it’ll take something really new to grab our attention. Having said that, we’ll admit a Minnie Mouse inspired women’s shoe from VANS that looks more fuzzy slipper than sneaker fits the bill. It should be noted, that comparison more accurately describes the Slip-On model than the other shoe in the pack, a Sk8-Hi similarly done up in brown fur, with cream fur lining and pink foxing wrapped around an off-white white midsole. The Sk8-Hi also comes with pink polka dot laces, presumably inspired by the bow that Minne Mouse wears atop her head. Both models are scheduled to release on October 7th in Japan only. via: Espionagekicks

Release Date: October 7th, 2011 (Friday)

Kith Brooklyn Preview

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 06:00 PM PDT

Kith Brooklyn Preview

In less than 24 hours there will be a new must-see destination in Brooklyn for discerning sneaker enthusiasts: Kith, the new retail space founded by Ronnie Fieg. Scheduled to open its doors tomorrow at 11 am, the store’s grand opening will coincide with the release of Ronnie’s latest collaboration with asics, the highly anticipated Gel Lyte III Salmon Toe. Ronnie has unveiled an image of the store’s interior, revealing a well-appointed space handsomely dressed with dark wood and atmospheric lighting. Spare, modern and inviting all at once, the storefront will likely see its share of lines and campouts in the future (and by that, we mean in addition to the line that started this past Monday for the Salmon Toes).
