Nike Air Max 90 CT TZ & Air Max 90 Flywire TZ | Grid Pack
Two interesting new Nike Tier Zero releases are coming up next month. The Grid Pack consists of the Air Max 90 CT TZ and the Air Max 90 Flywire TZ. Both come in very lightweight fabrics, a silver grid pattern on the upper and a hybrid sole. I can't wait for the Flywire joints personally.

10Deep Spring 2009 Collection
Today we can give you a detailed look at the first delivery of the 10Deep Spring 2009 Collection. 10Deep has been around for much longer than most other brands in the market and somehow they have managed to become widely known, without being over-exposed. It’s a difficult task that many others did not manage.
These past seasons are looking more and more solid and well balanced. Interesting cut-and-sew items are mixed with strong graphic t-shirts. The brand stays true to their roots, while staying relevant to current times and trends. Basics are not too basic to seem boring, something we see too often when trying to inject some simplicity into a line. That said the first delivery of their Spring 2009 Collection offers many key pieces.
Vans Vault Fall 2009 Needle LX
An interesting new model is coming with the Vans Vault Fall 2009 Collection - the Needle LX. The very minimalist silhouette comes in several premium leathers and color patterns next season. We like the play of the tonal upper with a different color of the laces and contrasting lining. It looks like it can be a nice everyday sneaker, but for sure we will only know once we have seen it live later this year.
On a personal note I'm not going to judge but you wont see these on dee's feet but you my friends are encouraged to enjoi and you know who I'm talkin' too.

Superblast x Converse Laces Campaign
Converse Laces Viral from artschoolvets on Vimeo.
Converse recently worked together with artist Superblast, who got the opportunity to paint over a large scale ad of the sneaker company, in Berlin. Part of the Converse Laces campaign, the artist did not only add his personal touch to the campaign posters, he also customized lots of Converse sneakers in the Converse store in Berlin Mitte.
The good people over @ Artschoolvets documented the performance and produced a small viral video of the artist in action. Definitely worth checking out and even better if you can manage to see it live in Berlin.

Trek District: The Ultimate Bike for $929?
While going “green” isn’t always easy, a great way to reduce your carbon footprint is by riding a bicycle instead of driving. Sounds simple, but if you live in a major city, you really have no excuse not to get a bike. So what kind? The ballyhooed fixed-gear movement has become trendy recently, but consider fixed-gears the allover prints of the bicycle world. It makes better sense to invest in something like the all-new Trek District bike, which hits stores in the first week of April.
It's a thing of beauty, but looks aside, what makes it special is that it’s Trek’s first single-speed, belt-drive (i.e. no chain) bicycle. The District has specs and parts to satisfy bicycle enthusiasts while being user-friendly enough that your mom would have no trouble riding it. Uh, pause. Every aspect of the District has been well thought-out and executed with careful attention to detail. At $929, it may cost a grip, but think of it as a lifetime investment'as long as it doesn’t get jacked.
These are the "features" or reasons trek feels you should buy this bike.....
* The belt drive (also used by motorcycles and snowmobiles) is a carbon fiber composite belt reinforced to prevent stretch.
* No bike chain means: no lube, no maintenance, no noise, no worries.
* The District comes equipped with Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase tires and alloy rims.

Kanye West To Launch Denim Label
According to UK’s Mirror, Kanye West met up with denim brand Religion to talk about his upcoming denim label. At this point we are not sure whether that just concerns the denim for his upcoming Pastelle label, if it is a Religion collaboration or a brand by itself. Judging by the sound of the Mirror’s article, it seems like it will be a brand by itself. Kanye has definitely been wearing lots of denim and denim jackets lately, so this does not come entirely as a surprise.

Nike SFB Boots....Work hard in style
Four years ago, Nike’s Innovation Kitchen was given a new mission: Develop a 21st century boot to meet the needs of this century’s first-response teams and high-speed operators – aka elite level athletes in need of elite level performance innovation.
The SFB represents Nike’s continued pursuit of delivering the most technically innovative and lightweight product to meet the needs of athletes the world over.
The SFB, perfect for warm weather conditions, is the lightest, fastest drying, natural motion boot on the planet. It features a Natural Motion Cushioning unit that helps allows for optimal support and speed during heel to toe transfer, translated the boot is made to move and form with the foot’s natural motion allowing for quick flexible movement in any direction while drastically reducing the weight of conventional boots.
Offering unparalleled traction, the SFB’s outsole is fitted with a directional traction heel sole that utilizes reverse tread bars and a slightly raised heel for better traction going downhill, while the Sticky Rubber forefoot lugs were strategically placed to allow exceptional agility and traction in any terrain. Upping the ante on protection, the SFB’s mid-sole comes equipped with puncture and laceration resistant thermoplastic forefoot shield and genuine leather with Kevlar sheath, both placed in the sole of the SFB allowing the boot to form to the foot of its wearer while offering protection from jagged rocky terrain.
Highly protective while light and flexible, the SFB’s upper is comprised of a polyester woven shell wrapped in synthetic leather overlays which offers no “break-in” time associated with most other boots and drastically increased the quick drying properties via the polyester/synthetic leather blend. The no “break-in” properties alone make the SFB a natural choice for serious outdoors athletes and weekend warriors alike. Tying it all together, a Speed Lacing System made of 550 cord run through metal speed-lacing eyelets keep the foot securely locked down to the Natural Motion Cushioning unit while also making the SFB easy to get in or out of. Simply put, this boot was built for comfort, speed, agility, and it was built to last.

Undefeated x Masterpiece T-Shirts
It looks like Undefeated and Masterpiece did not only get together for the training suits, but also on a couple of t-shirts. They offer two different designs, each coming in several colorways. Undefeated Chapter Stores in the US and the official online store will be releasing the t-shirts on March 14th.
Triumvir x USC CASA | Unforgettable - A Shanghai Story
Dimming the lights to present a more intimate and contributive project, Triumvir brings forth a collaboration with the University of Southern California’s Chinese American Student Association (CASA) for their upcoming Culture Show. A project that will be a joint effort in support of their upcoming musical, Unforgettable which premiered on March 7th for one night only.
Hidden by the glitz and glamour of Shanghai during the mid 1930’s, the plot mirrors the turmoil, moral corruption and emotions caused by the brink of the 2nd Sino Japanese War. The collaboration will include 2 limited edition t-shirts, with design concepts that were derived from The Flying Tigers; the first American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force, as well as The Father of Modern China and political leader; Sun Yat-Sen.
Lance just doesn't stop.....
This is for my people's who're down with the whole cycling thing, as previously stated I'm not down with Mr. Armstrong for personal reasons, but once again these bikes from an artist perspective are clean. That's why I feel he's just tryin to cool by calling together some of todays most recognized artists to create custom designs for his Trek Madone roadbike. The bikes are part of the new “Stages” art campaign of the Livestrong foundation by Mr. Armstrong.
Both Kaws and Barry McGree created custom designs of the Trek Madone. The Barry McGee bike will debut at the public anti-cancer ride in Hollywood today and then go on to be Lance’s bike in the Tour of California. The Kaws bike will first appear in the upcoming Milan-San Remo race. Both bikes were presented in the Nike Montalban Theater space.
Mr. Armstrong is beastin' right now....
we show you the complete line-up of sneakers and clothing, created as part of the “Stages” initiative by Nike in collaboration with Lance Armstrong and his Livestrong Foundation.
In terms of product they present the Lunar Livestrong Pack, consisting of two sneakers. Next comes the Evolution of Air, which is a pack consisting of three Air Max’s. The most interesting pack is probably the Greatest Hits pack, which consists of collaborations with So_Me, Mr. Cartoon and Futura. Last but not least there is The Cutters pack.
In terms of clothing they worked on a Livestrong Flywire Windrunner and on a Nike Sportswear M-65 Jacket. All product comes in the black/yellow colorway, known from LIvestrong.
“Stages” brings together close to 20 of the world’s most creative and diverse artists to create original works of art inspired by Armstrong and his mission to raise awareness of the global cancer burden. This unique project brings together the world of art, philanthropy and sport, in a way never before seen, to create artwork that represents the power of human potential in overcoming adversity.
Artists participating in the “Stages” tour include names such as Shepard Fairey, Tom Sachs, Barry McGee and Marc Newson. All artists will begin working on their pieces between now and July, leading to an exhibition at the world renowned Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Paris on July 16th, 2009.
To further support the fight against cancer, Nike is releasing two sportswear collections, all proceeds of which will be contributed to the LAF. There will be a “Hope Rides Again” apparel and footwear collection and footwear “Greatest Hits” pack. Artists participating in the “Stages” tour include: Shepard Fairey, Tom Sachs, Geoff McFetridge, Raymond Pettibon, José Parlá, Ed Ruscha, Kaws, Christopher Wool, Dzine, Eric White, Barry McGee, Kenny Scharf, Os Gêmeos, Marc Newson, Rosson Crow, Taryn Simon, JR, Yoshitomo Nara, Suejin Chung, Lari Pittman, Aaron Young and Jules de Balincourt.” I'm not a fan of Lance but this line up is of kicks are must haves.
