“Big Stage” Nike Zoom Kobe V Finals Edition

I know that we pretty rarely (or never) put up posts about footwear, but as somebody who is very picky about what I put on my feet, I just had to share these with you.  Kobe is wearing these as we speak in game 4 of the NBA finals, and they are said to hit retail stores later this summer.  I’ve already got one pair of Kobes…might have to get me another.  Hit the jump for full pictures and an explanation of the detailing and ideology behind the design.  Big ups to Sole.

UPDATE:  Added a look at the Away colorways as well!

It is a well known fact that Kid Cudi is a big fan of A Bathing Ape. He has been spotted wearing Bape at many events, and has collaborated with the Japanese-based company once before. Here, we find Cudi surrounded by Bape’s signature character, Baby Milo, with the phrase “Take Another Shot Or You’re Soft! Rage!” Those who have seen Cudder in concert know how fitting this t-shirt is. Once I have some extra cash, A Bathing Ape t-shirt will be my next purchase, they make such dope shirts. The shirt will be available exclusively on Bape’s online store tomorrow. Cop that!

The next pair of sneakers I get might have to be a pair of Nike SBs. Check out the new Nike SB August releases that include new versions of their staple Dunk Low Nike SB Low Ron Burgundy, Dunk Mid SB, Bruin and Classic SB. Check them out after the jump along with the “Today Was A Good Day” video they made.

I really didn’t know how to title this one any better. This takes place in Illadelph, early this morning. Dude is mad brave. Watch….

From our loose translations it looks like Element and Venture Trucks rider, Soichiro Nakajima has put his smack down on a New Era 59Fifty fitted. The SO baseball cap mixes tweed, melton wool and Soichiro’s own signal on the label.

I can’t even front, I would still like to do some thangs to her if you know what I mean, even though her lineup is fresher than mine!  What y’all think of Cassie’s new do?  Poll time! More pics after the jump….

**UPDATE:  More, recent pics added.  I changed my mind on what I said before (above).

June 1, $90.  That’s all I got.

A new Nike Dunk High Supreme has been released in a simple Black and White colorway, the reason for the Supreme in the name of the shoe is not because of the skate/street brand from New York but rather because of the treatment and materials applied to this particular Dunk High. A nice paisley print is imprinted into the leather of the upper of the shoe as well as screenprinted on the insole. Additionally the shoes use a premium and rich suede giving it a great feel to it. The shoes are available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers in addition to the Kix-Files Online Store.

There’s little chance the timing on the previous leaks was coincidental, but who needs coincidence when your design is this good? For the third time in a week, we’ve received a clearer picture of what the Defining Moments Pack II (DMP2) Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’ edition looks like. Red suede with tonal stitching looks dope on the upper, but it’s actually a bit darker in person. Imagine something closer to the red Air Jordan XXI. A new twist we’ve not seen on AJ5s, the red-tipped teeth inspired by WWII-era Mustang fighter planes pay homage to the similarly hewn Chicago Bulls logo. These pictures speak for themselves.

Hit the jump for more pictures.

These arrive just in time for the Spring!  Y’all coppin or droppin’?  I (Mr. 5 Star) would cop…but I don’t really have anything to match it.  Pics of the Boston Red Sox and LA Dodgers hats after the jump.

Only one’s I’d consider buyin’ is the brown ones, but I don’t like the grey in the front, messes it up. On a sidenote…why are the insides of all the shoes pink?
