Nike Air Force 1 & Dunk “Nik iD, Mystery” Shoes

“Hiroshi Fujiwara Kicking Up Dust Again”


These badass kicks came as a surprise to the shoehead community, Hiroshi Fujiwara posts some pictures that could be some Nike iD’s that he created, who knows. We can really thank Nike for breathing life back into the AF1 last year and doing the same with the Dunks this year. Sorry I don’t have much more info for you shoeheads but check back for updates.

Nike Air Max 1 BT China 1984 Olympics Pack, Zhu




Nike Air Max 1 BT China 1984 Olympics Pack, Zhu

“Toss these on and will you will defiantly maybe jump 2.39 meters”


In 1984 I was two years old so don’t remember watching Zhu Jianhua make his record attempt. I did however watch his attempt on video and that dude has some serious ups. Inspired by Zhu’s Olympic record High Jump of 2.39 meters comes the Nike Air Max 1 BT China, the recent release from the 1984 China Olympics Pack, more pics below.

The colorway is great, obviously China’s colors, and also gives you a great feel of the “80’s”. Sources claim that there is“specialized” rubber paint on the mudguard which should make nice for durability, update you when we have the shoes in hand. The heel carries a great emblem of Zhu getting over the bar and setting a new world record… it’s crazy how they arch their backs. The shoes are now available via The Rivington Club, so get out there and start breaking world records.











Adidas Top Ten Lo Glow In The Dark Pack




Adidas Top Ten Lo Glow In The Dark Pack

“Mommy mommy I’m scared of the dark, can I wear my Adidas Lo Glows?”


Admit it, at one point and time you owned something that was glow in the dark. Maybe it was a tooth brush, possibly some type of key chain, and for you nerds like me, a solar system. But let me tell you one thing, glow in the dark is back, just ask Adidas. Mess in Beijing has just received The Top Ten Lo pack which comes in some very interesting colors. The colors are very pastel, one being a dull Canary, and the other a Periwinkle but what’s great is the uppers have various images that supposedly glow in the dark!

The colorway is basic; you never go wrong with a solid color scheme. The white entry and white sole make for a good sand-which on a solid color, throw in the black break lines and hmm hmm delicious. So next time you’re in the woods looking for that kegger, make sure you have on your Adidas Lo Glows to light the way.

Let’s not forget to thank our friends at Sneakernews for the great pics.










Reebok “Pump Bring Back Series”



Reebok “Pump Bring Back Series”

“So vibrant it’s like HD on your feet”


Remember the young days, out on the playground, playing some ball wishing you could jump up and touch rim? Well if you were lucky, all it took was a few gentle pumps on the tongue of your Reeboks. Now we are proud to say, this month we will be blessed with a great three-pack of love. Reeboks ”Pump Bring Back” will consist of the Pump Omni Lite, the Pum D- Time, and the Court Victory Pump, all which by the way are a great kick back to their earlier predecessors of the 80’s and 90’s. Unfortunately, this time around the Pump’s will only be available through Xlarge, Undefeated and Atmos Tokyo via Hypebeast.

Each shoe has a unique use of a NEON colorway, so hot it will burn out your retina. Balance is maintained very well with the use of white, smart choice to sand-which the neon color scheme. Good job Rebook, now all we need is snap bracelets and Hammer pants.

Nike Air Force 1 ACG Inspired Mowabb


Nike Air Force 1 ACG Inspired Mowabb

“So clean even grandma will love em”

We here at shoehead take great pride and love in our Air Force 1 line, for me it’s one of my favs. So I’m very excited to introduce you to the AF1 Mowabb. What makes the sneaker unique you might ask? Well Nike is using certain aspects of the ACG line such as materials, colors and designs to spit us out a great clean sneaker. The dark shade sole, spattered with paint specs, tends to bring some “pop” to the sneaker. As for the colorway, nothing brings more attention to the eye like proper use of orange and blue, tried and true. No release date or price mark as of yet but keep checking back because the Nike Air Force 1 Mowabb, is on our radar.










Nike Dunk High – Mr. T (A-Team)

Nike Dunk High – Mr. T (A-Team)

“I pity the foo”

Here today shoeheads we have a little preview of the Nike Dunk High, Mr. T (A-Team) limited edition kicks. Only 84 pairs were made available and sold out with-in one hour after its initial release, let’s pray we see one on ebay. The Dunk Highs were an exclusive from “House of Hoops” located in Harlem, New York, which is a collaborative store between Nike and Foot Locker. These Dunk Highs were made in tribute to Mr. T, that crazy gold lovin man from the A-Team adventure series.

The colorway is none other than an olive, military style with a unique touch of gray for a simple color break-up. You just got to love the gold top-lay because hey, it wouldn’t be Mr. T with-out some gold. Finish it with some in your face, vibrant red laces, and you have something decent. I also love the T stamp on the left side of each heel, gives the shoe some sole and some kick, I defiantly love this sneaker.
