After last year’s release of the Diamond Turf, it’s no surprise to see the return of the Nike Air Diamond Turf II. This model sports a colorway one would relate to the San Francisco 49ers; donning black, white, and metallic gold on the upper and red on the sockliner. These are available now at Nike retailers.

2012-02-07T20:13:00.000-08:00

Nike has released a new colorway for the Blazer Mid, featuring a black/neutral grey-cool grey upper. What sets this sneaker apart from other Blazer releases is the use of a wool-like material that covers the upper along with speckled laces. Spring is approaching but this colorway with the use of materials looks to stay in the fall/winter theme. Look for these as they are available in stores now.

SUPRA PASSION LIZARD KING

2012-02-07T20:01:00.000-08:00

The Supra Passion Lizard King is a mid cut skate sneaker that is desert boot inspired, along with special comfort features such as a Vulc sole lined with SUPRAFOAM for added shock absorption and a padded flap for ankle support. The Lizard King is available in two different colorways (royal blue & black) and both feature smooth suede uppers along with color matched flat laces. These sneakers are available now on the Supra’s official website as well as at select retailers where Supra’s are sold.

Another day another dollar. A busy day at Tradition today because we just brought in my homie Danny's Bracelet line to the shop. They have been getting alot of attention today mainly because the themes behind the colorways. My favorite might be the "Soo Woo" which is All Red Everything. Come by to the shop to check them out and get the exclusive Black Gold Pyrite/Gold Stardust/Black Onyx colorway which is only being sold in store at the shop. If you have any custom ideas for a bracelet hit up his Brand Website DEDICATED TO YOU.

JORDAN VI BLACK CEMENT CUSTOMS BY EL CAPPY

2012-02-03T14:58:00.000-08:00

This Air Jordan III-inspired design created by El Cappy sees the Three’s signature element restricted to the AJVI’s unmistakably angular midsole tooling. He also crafted the eyelets to resemble the III’s reinforcements, and with black/cement Elephant print G-Shock alongside, this could be one hell of a Neck Breaking combo. I might be going out on a limb here but I think these might be one of, or if not the best Custom Jordan VI's of all time.

The moc treatment applied to the adidas Originals Forum Mid by the team at LDRS seems to have struck a chord with the brand. These sorts of aesthetic additions are generally realized in a much grander style thanks to the Jeremy Scott lineup, so it’s nice to see a low key spin on the whole ‘attaching stuff to sneakers’ approach.

50 YEN TOP 10 SNEAKERS OF 2011

2011-12-31T15:05:00.000-08:00

Its that time of year again. What a year it has been for the Sneaker Game as well as the world in general. I picked the shoes that I personally thought were the best to me. Its just my opinion so don't kill me if I don't have you're favorite sneak on the list. There was honestly alot of shoes that were ill this year. I cant wait to see what's to come in 2012

#1. Jordan VII "YOTR"-First before I start I must say I am in no way a fan of the Jordan VII. I actually only own 2 pairs of VII's. This particular pair though bares a sentimental feeling to me, seeing as how my 4 month Yr old niece is Rabbit. These got a little bad response from some sneaker heads because they look REALLY similar to the "Hare" VII. Although they have similarities, the subtle differences really make them stand out from the Hares if you pay attention to detail. Super Clean

#2. Nike Total Max Foamposite-I was waiting for these to be re-released for years now. Good Job Nike.

#3. Air Jordan True Blue III-I love the "Black Cements" like everyone else but I personally liked these pair of III's this year mainly because it was a longer time since we had seen the True Blues retro'd.

#4. Nike Zoom Kobe VII Cheetah-Say what you want, but these are CRAZY.

#5. Air Jordan Concord XI-Yes the Concords are not #1. Hypebeasts please don't kill me.

#6. Adidas X Jeremy Scott Panda Bear-I guess its the Asian in me, We love Pandas.

#7. Air Jordan V Quai 54-If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a pair of these badboys this year I salute you.

#8. Nike Zoom Rookie LWP-These are not at the top of the list but they are most definitely the BEST new sneaker design that came out this year.

#9. Nike Foamposite Pro Electric Green-Out of all the Foams that dropped this year the Electric Greens were my favorite for some reason. I guess i'm more of a bright sneaker guy but you can't deny these.

10. Nike SB Dunk mid Patagonia-I really wish these came with the original pink laces that were shown in teaser pics earlier this year but regardless the materials on this shoe are crack.

Hello there my loyal readers. I just wanted to say I wish all of you a Happy New Year and good luck for 2012. I am currently at the shop handling some last minute biz before NYE festivities tonight. As you can see I pulled out my "Year Of The Rabbit" Jordan VII's today seeing as how it was possibly my favorite sneaker of 2011. Mostly for sentimental reasons because my Niece was born this year and she is obviously a Rabbit by the Zodiac. I will be working on a best of 2011 list for sneakers and such later today...stay tuned-Cheers

The ‘Big Bang’ LeBron 9 is arguably the most intense of all these colorways, a blazing mix of orange and red that features more little details than any release. LB9 fans are mostly hyped about the galaxy represented on this pair‘s shank plate and insole.

NIKE SB DUNK LODEN 2012

2011-12-28T12:10:00.000-08:00

You might be wondering why these upcoming Dunks go by the name of ’Loden’. That’s because they look quite a bit like the 2002 pair by that same name, but Nike skateboarding hasn’t gone so far as to officially link them or suggest further tributes. Should Nike SB retro some of its beloved classics, should they continue to push the envelope with new themes and references, and which pairs would you be more excited to add to your collection? I personally wouldn't mind some retros.
