Buy It: adidas SLVR 111
adidas SLVR 111
The adidas SLVR line keeps it classy, and keeps it going. According to the brand, the 111 is designed for “the modern nomad,” but we just think it’s cool. Oh, and the upper is stitched right to the outsole, meaning that this thing is more eco-aware than some of the hippy hop shoes in your closet.
Buy them HERE for $165, check the jump for detail shots of both colorways.

Last Thursday night (Feb. 19th) Russlan Karablin, known to the sneaker/streetwear world as “SSUR“, made his way to Moscow to release the SSUR III series: a Water Resistant version in a hunting colorway and a uber-ballistic nylon make up done with a variety of camos from around the world.
Selected invitees, media and VIPs attended the launch at a place called KixBox store, and a private after party at club Gasgolder, complete with topless models and all kinds of Russian debauchery.

Nike Sportswear Terminator Low Basic ND
Nike Sportswear Terminator Low Basic ND
Nike is going to take both the Blazer and the Terminator and stylishly force feed you until you think both of the shoes are cool. You know what? It’s working. We’ve seen multiple colorways of each on the ‘net in the past few weeks, and this simple black/white with a flash of Volt is gonna do the trick for us this Spring.
Look for these Nike Sportswear Terminator Low Basic ND low top bangers on April 1st at Nike retailers as well as the brand’s flagship go to, 21 Mercer in NYC. A $70 price tag makes these a spring-able cop for pretty much everyone, so happy hunting. Hit the jump for detail images.
