By now, you’ve probably seen glimpses of the white on white Louis Vuitton boat shoes designed by Kanye West. Now we get our first up-close look at the next installment of this eagerly awaited collaboration. The second of 5 sneakers cooked up by Kanye is this incredible all red sample. The shoe has a modern feel thanks to the exaggerated heel flap, but somehow still maintains a classic look. No stranger to trend-setting fashion, Mr. West got the idea for the heel design from a character from the cult 80′s sci-fi flick, Dune. Combining fashion with function, the heel flap is said to be intended to make tucking pants easier. Another nice touch is the raised Louis Vuitton logos on the tongue and sole. Release is scheduled for June at Louis Vuitton stores, but no word yet on price. The safe bet would be to pick your jaw up off the floor and start saving your money now. via The New York Times.

The Air Max 90 is one of the flagships of the Nike retro fleet, and even though it has been released in so many colorways over the years, Nike is still figuring out ways to keep it fresh. Enter the boucle fabric edition. You’ll remember a similar material from the Nike x Married to the Mob Dunks and now it shows up again on the Air Max 90. The hatched texture gives the shoe a clean, classy look, but there is also a little flavor mixed in by way of the colorful spotted sole and pink air bubble. Unfortunately, these are a Euro exclusive, but you can get them now at kickz.

Earlier today we showed you the Bibby Inauguration Day PE, but Mike wasn’t the only Atlanta Hawk showing his Obama support on Tuesday. His partner in the backcourt, Joe Johnson also had on his own Jordan Pure Pressure PE’s when the Hawks took on the Bulls in the President’s former Chi-Town stomping grounds. Like Bibby’s these have the date “1-20-09″ stitched across the tongue to commemorate the historic day, as well as the patriotic themed graphics on the midsole. Joe’s model, however, uses navy blue instead of red as the secondary color on the tongue and sole and features some gold accents as well. Like the other Pure Pressure PE, these are available exclusively at House of Hoops.

Originally released as the running mate to the Dunk in 1985, the Nike Big Nike is poised to make a triumphant return. Although the Big Nike has a similar look to the Dunk, it also appears to have drawn some of its influences from the Jordan I and the Terminator as well. Once championed by 80′s NBA big men, such as 7 foot 7″ skyscraper Manute Bol, nowadays the retro version will probably a better fit for the street than the court. They will be re-released in a crisp white on white version with some subtle elephant skin material wrapping the heel and ankle. via Colmilludo.

Magic was in the air on Tuesday as our country came together as one in a celebration of hope and pride. While history was being made in Washington, Atlanta Hawks point guard Mike Bibby was busy in Chicago, lighting up the Bulls with his season-high 31 points. Was it the shoes? Only Mike knows for sure, but the special Inauguration Day Jordan Pure Pressures on his feet couldn’t have hurt. As you’ll see in the detailed images below, the date “1-20-09″ is stitched into the tongue and the midsole is exquisitely decorated with a kinetic red, white and blue stars and stripes design, brilliantly conveying the excitement and celebration of the monumental day. If you’ve been wanting some type of souvenir to commemorate the inauguration, these will be available exclusively at House of Hoops.

If you are a true Air Force 1 King, then you certainly love the almighty AF1 Hi. Seemingly kept as a rarity, hi-top forces are seldom seen either on the shelves or on peoples’ feet. This means that when Nike does sneak a grand daddy hi in the mix, they better come correct or purists will be buggin! Well folks, Nike certainly got it right with this release. What you see pictured above is the long awaited Nike AF1 Hi Supreme in Neutral Grey and White. Seen before on Flight Club, this gem is now available at select retailers. This release will be limited to NSW accounts only as mentioned before on SneakerNews with only 1 size run per door landing.
Reminiscent of the Grey One’s AF1 Hi from 2004 this supreme makes perfect use of texture, grey tones, and clean white. With tucked and seamless edges, attention is drawn to the use of super-supple neutral grey nubuck – no durabuck here folks, supreme all the way! A charcoal grey tongue with anthracite nylon piping and tongue tag set off the contrast as a white outsole and full grain leather swoosh round out the shoe for perfect balance. But wait, it gets better! Laser etched elephant print drapes the shoe in a descending matrix-code-like fashion; a first in AF1 history when it comes to the use of elephant print. As if all these goodies weren’t enough, Nike adorns this masterpiece with a set of grey supreme laces, adds a set of regular white laces, and greets your feet with leather insoles. via GourmetKickz
