Pretty much everybody is happy about all the Air Jordan XII Retros this holiday season (well, probably not adidas).  Here’s a new Nike Blazer High for women that uses a ’sunray’ stitch just like the Twelve.  These use a black leather base and add gold stitches.  The Swooshes are metallic, so when you see how the stitching doubles up around the old school ‘NIKE’ heel tab, you might think of bike spokes.  Toss in a cricket emrbroidery on the tongue tag and this is quite a unique take on a classic design.  Available from Shaolin8 on eBay.

There’s nothing better than a pair that gives simple colors, but rather stands out with its use of materials.  A pair of black and grey blazers would most likely be slept on by the jaded sneakerhead, but one might consider a pair furnished with carbon fiber.  The lightweight woven filament takes the entire upper, supplimented with grey accent paneling and midsole, along with a white swoosh and branding.  A unique alternative to a popular shoe, street racers are probably already coming across these on eBay as they bid for more parts for their precious rides.

When you’re talking about hills so steep that driving is hard, much less walking, you just know some crazy guy is out there thinking, “How awesome would it be to skate down this?!”  San Francisco, CA is notorious for its steep inclines and is famously home to Keith Hufnagel’s namesake skateshop.  Huf himself snapped some photos of Nike SB rider Omar Salazar riding from their storefront on Sutter St. and ripping through downtown traffic at high speeds.  Peep the grippy advantage of Huf’s black canvas Nike SB Blazer in photos and video after the jump.  via HB
