Buy This Now: Supra NS Burgundy Pack


Supra NS Skytop Burgundy

Supra seems to flood the market just as much as Lil Wayne these days; probably the reason why the two get along so well. Yesterday we reminded you to check for the Purple/Brown Vaiders, but if shiny patent leather is what you’re into, lock down this Burgundy Pack.

The set of three consists of a Strapped, Trinity, and Muska’s Skytop. Factory 413’s e-commerce shop has them now, with prices clocking in at $164 (Skytop), $168 (Trinity) and $172 (Strapped). Decisions, decisions, choose your favorite and get it HERE. Hit the jump for images of the other two sneakers from the pack.

Supra Purple/Brown Vaider in stores soon

Supra just shipped this latest purple/brown colorway of the Vaider, so expect it in West Coast shops this weekend, and on the East Coast early next week. According to the company site, the shoe has:

* High top upper with a vulcanized sole
* Extra heel protection molded into comfortable high memory polyurethane insole
* SupraFoam® midsole providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex, and board feel
* New metal sliding tongue logo
* Ankle support
* PU leather lining
* BK mesh sock liner

All of that makes them comfortable, and skateable, but we all know you’re buying them because of Jay-Z.

‘Lil Penny at Santos’ Party House, via Va$htie

Nike Basketball is going hard in ‘09, re-releasing the Eggplant Foamposites, and soon a series of Penny Hardaway re-issues and hybrids to get hoops fans fired up. While everyone is nostalgic for Penny, do they really want to shell out over $100 for the kicks? That’s for the Nike marketing machine to help you figure out. First we saw them seeding these Nike 1/2 Cent (Penny)s, and now a series of ‘Lil Penny sightings has hit the net. Don’t remember the little guy? ‘Lil Penny was Anfernee Hardaway’s alter ego (voiced by Chris Rock) who appeared in several commercials, game intros, and even rap videos in the mid to late ’90s.

‘Lil Penny has been seen courtside at the Knicks vs. Boston showdown, partying his ass off at Santos’, and setting up some Bespoke Air Force 1s at 21 Mercer Street in New York. Is this enough to get you to buy the 1/2 Cents (coming in the next couple of weeks), the Penny II LE’s (third from bottom, coming soon), or the Penny IIIs (out now)? Up to you. Hit the jump to see ‘Lil Penny the mack’s great moments from this past weekend, and some of the videos that made him famous in the ’90s.

When it comes to Y-3 footwear, some fits can get a littttttle bit skinny. Luckily Yohji offers the Hayworth, the least fashion-y silhouette out of the bunch that drops in schemes that won’t get you laughed at. The high-tops have always hit for fans of Y-squared, but the brand isn’t half-assing the design on the lows either. These suede/nubuck make-ups just became available online are make for a solid pre-spring go-to. Get them for a pricey $270 Here.

Buy This Now: Nike ACG x Pendleton Blazer


If you’re still trekking around in your Authentics, it’s time to make the switch to something a little more winter-friendly. While Timberland and Red Wing are the obvious choices when it comes to cold weather, Nike’s re-vamped ACG line continues to impress us.

A bunch of sneaker-boots have dropped in the past few months, but this Blazer collaboration with trusted outerwear company Pendleton is this season’s standout. The uppers of the sneaker consist of original Pendleton wool, and the rigid sole (hit the jump) will make sure you don’t bust your ass on black ice. If you’re looking to get a pair, they just went on sale HERE for $150.

Buy This Now: Air Max 95 Black/Red Reflective


Black and red on a classic silhouette is a no brainer, and Nike can’t and won’t stop pumping out new Air Max 95s for the fiends. Usually when the black/red scheme of anything rears its head, the forums go nutty, but this reflective make-up moved in silence.
