There may be no other sneaker icon in history as recognizable as the Converse All-Star. To Converse’s credit, they have consistently figured out ways to keep such a simple design fresh and relevant over a hundred year span. Continuing in this tradition, Converse Japan recently revealed the Expo Nippon line, a tribute to Japanese artisan culture.

The Owari-Shippo Hi Chuck Taylor is inspired by the art of the long revered Owari-Shippo porcelain crafts. The shoe’s appearance runs with the porcelain theme by using glassy patent leather to create the shine and color palette that the world famous crafts are known for. The color segments are divided by metallic piping and are highlighted by touches of gold and silver materials throughout.  Two different colorways are available now at select Japanese retailers such as Flauge. via Freshness.

Upon the release of the Nike Hyperdunk several ads were ran with players wearing the shoes with common basketball ‘trash talk’ phrases written upon them. However one of these ads was almost immediately pulled upon the release because of it’s somewhat implied homophobic or over sexual tone. Nike’s ‘That Aint Right’ ad featured a player dunking the ball over a defender who’s face was just so happened to be buried in the offensive players crotch. In a surprise move several months later, Nike has released a set of Hyperdunks inspired by this controversial ad. The set features two colorways that seem to be taken directly from the players uniforms while the ‘That Aint Right’ slogan graces the bottom of the shoes icey out soles. The shoes are available now at Nike Store.com

Aside from being one of the leading players in the NBA, Carmelo Anthony has also been seen wearing some of the dopest Air Jordan player exclusives on the floor.  One of the first PEs given to Melo is this Air Jordan XII in what looks to be a home colorway.  This shoe features a dominantly yellow and white colorway.  The yellow covers the entire sole, bottom section of the upper, running up the ankle as well as the inner and the Jumpman on the tongue.  White covers the rest of the leather upper while “MELO” is embroidered  right around the heel.  Like most dope PEs, these are not too likely to make it to any retail shelves, but our friends over at OSneaker have a pair now.

With wide variety of editions of the Nike Zoom LeBron VI that have been showing up week after week, many of you may have been wondering whether or not a Zoom LeBron VI low will every make it out.  A photo has recently leaked courtesy of the processofbelief on NikeTalk of a Nike Zoom LeBron VI in a black/white/red colorway that should put an end to all your guessing.  While the photo isn’t of the best quality, it gives us a good idea of what the shoe will look like.  The Zoom LeBron VI Low seems to be a LeBron VI cut down a bit without sacrificing any major components of the shoe as it retains the VI’s forefoot straps and design features.  The main difference, aside from the obvious low profile, is the single stitching along the mid-sole.  Word is that these will hit retailers sometime in July, but we’ll keep you posted as more information and pictures become available.  via NikeLeBron
