While we sincerely hope that you never need to use ‘em for that, the Nike SFB (Special Forces Boot) is equipped for any kind of battle you might need to enter.  The Kevlar-sheathed lightweight tactical boot features a Free sole for superiour traction and feel, while the upper is constructed to be among the fastest drying footwear in existence.  This pair in black with purple nylon underlay is just nutty, and we can’t see anyone actually wearing these into combat.  In light of the whimsical colourway, we’re going to repeal our warning against using them for actual battles, and instead suggest that you cop a pair so you can best your friends as ‘most outrageously dressed’.  Get yours from Japanese retailer NOS.  via FRESHNESS

Earlier in October, we gave a quick look at what’s to come for the holidays from Converse’s new CONS skateboarding division.  Now we can look at some other drops as part of the respective collection.  Like the all suede grey CTS OX we’ve already seen, there will also be an all suede black pair.  You’ll notice there’s a lobster graphic found on the backside of the tongues.  No info as to why those are there and why that specific style has it out of all the holiday stuff.  Graphic or not, still fresh.  For those who prefer a more authentic Chuck Taylor feel, the exact colorway will be available in the traditional canvas upper with rubber toe cap.  But we can’t forget about the classic high-cut.  For those who prefer a mid, CONS supplies us with the CTS Ox Mid, in a chocolate suede, and the CONS Reverse Mid II in grey and white suede with mesh tongue.  Don’t forget, the CONS versions now have a high density foam on the upper lining and tongue and a more stable shank and heel counter for more comfort compared to the original Chucks.  And going with skate fashion, the suede and laces are made for high abrasion to ensure durability and last while skateboarding, or whatever it is you wanna do in these. via Silo

Vans Syndicate has produced some pretty dope pairs lately.  With weather motivating the design of the the Mountain Edition Mid, these Chukka Low’s are more of a geographic and historical tribute.  Designed by Feal Mor, these are inspired by by French military boots.  The “Land” pair has an upper made of very rare French marine camo canvas, while the “Sea” pair sports a beautiful french navy, both enzymed washed for a weathered effect.  Battle slogans are written on the sides to further correlate the French military theme, added by Syndicate emblems on the back with molded foxing strips along the midsoles.  Limited in quantity, these can be copped at Silo for $70 – a great deal for a dope pair to the collection.

Ever since Nike’s reintroduction of the Big Nike High, it’s gotten a lot of love.  With some good colorway releases so far, it’s certainly making a name for itself.  Some of you elitists think it’s trying to imitate the Dunk but just doesn’t make it, but take a lot on the streets- the Big Nike High has been well received in the mainstream retail world and doing just fine on its own.  Nonetheless, Nike produces yet another one to further its distinction from the Dunk High.  This one brings forth much more a sophisticated look compared to, say, the Flintstones Pack or the Wolverines.  The upper is a mix of suede, leather and snakeskin, colored with a sort of navy-grey and white.  The swoosh may have been able to do without the novelty “silver,” but that’s really up to you guys to decide.  If you don’t have any Big Nike High’s, this might be a good place to start.  via Limited Edt.

We have given you some coverage regarding the Jordan Blasé Mid. Which seems to be a dressed up sneaker created by Jordan Brand for a subtle look as opposed to bright colors and details. These Blasé Mids surely get some design inspiration from the Prada Americas Cup sneaker, although they do not totally rip the design like we have seen by some other sneaker brands out there. These Jordan Blasé Mids are created with the aging sneaker head in mind. They will definitely go well with more mature outfits, while still allowing you to have a pair of jays on your feet. If you are interested in copping a pair they are available now through Wish.
