UNDFTD x Puma Mid 24K Pack

The new issue of XXL Magazine is on stands, and along with its ridiculous cover of the Dip, we found this sneaker gem. The Puma Mid 24K Pack drops in red, blue, khaki, and black for $125, and with the gold foil banger as the LE of the group (probably $150 or so).

Eighteen pairs of each color will be available at UNDFTD first (we’re guessing Feb since this is the Feb issue) before it spreads out to Classic Kicks, ALIFE, Atmos, Major, Premium Goods, Leaders and BDGA. The gold ones are UNDFTD location exclusives, 72 pairs total. UNDFTD doesn’t even sell Pumas, and they get a collab. Retail kings. Hit the jump to see the rest of the page and the other colorways.

These Nike Dunk High’s are slated to drop April 1st, so we’re not really sure why they’re called the Nike Dunk High Premium LE 08. Maybe because the Zoom Air in the sole was introduced in 2008’s LE grouping?

Either way, these puppies are more comfy because of the air, more flashy because of the metalic/reflective material woven into the panels, and slightly more expensive at a cool $108. Hit nikesportswear.com when the cold lifts and cop these for hittin’ spring chickens. Detail photos after the jump.

Want to talk about staying power? Enter the Air Max 90. We’re 19 years deep (which is like 100 in sneaker-geek years) into the history of the Air Max 90, and with each new drop, swoosh-slobbers get psyched.

We got our hands on these images of two new color-ups, a black/white make-up and a light gray/green model which both drop on April 1. The sneakers will be available at Nikesportswear.com. Again, don’t forget the date, April 1. No fools. Detailed shots after the cut.

A month or so back, we previewed the Maharishi Viet, and today we have photos of the Maharishi Desert Zip Boot, also dropping as part of Maharishi’s spring line. Check for it on emaharishi in the next couple of weeks. The kicks are going to set you back a pretty $170, but that’s what happens when you try to buy things that are priced in pounds here in the states, friends. G’Day homies, check the jump for all the details.

Loose lips sink ships Mr. West. We’ve known that Kanye West has had a problem keeping his projects under-wraps in the past, (see Air Yeezy leaks 1-4567) now it seems the self-proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don has spilled the beans on the release date of his forthcoming Louis Vuitton-designed sneakers.

In this video dated a few days ago, TMZ caught a chipper Kanye coming out of the LV store in L.A, wearing the sneakers he designed for Louis Vuitton. As you’ll see in the video, Kanye confirmed to the cameraman that the sneakers he has on will release in June. We did a little investigating and found that Kanye was rocking the same white-on-white low tops while shopping in Los Angeles shortly after the video surfaced, all but confirming that the sneakers you’ll see after the jump are his highly hyped Louis Vuitton sneakers. Check more flicks of the sneakers below.

The Jordan brand has always gone head to head with the counterfeiters, and last year’s 23 seemed to be a nail in the proverbial Poo Chen coffin. The final “numbered” Jordan was so intricate that it was practically impossible to fake. For its 2009 sneaker, Jordan will again attempt to take on the Sunday Morning Slingers with a sneaker that is detailed as crap and features a varied series of features and fabrics. The new shoe, dubbed the Air Jordan 2009 has enough pieces, and will take so long to rip off, that the Jordan crew is banking on the night time factory guys just saying “f it” and sticking to putting out Pigeon SBs.

We got our hands on these photos, so take a look. There have been some leaks around the web, but not like this. What do you think? Cool? These are a success as far as we’re concerned. We’re backing and copping. Hit the jump for the images. Oh yeah, the sneakers drop 2/14, Valentines Day. Not sure where the red is on these puppies, but maybe that’s the LE version.

Nothing gets true Jordan heads psyched more than re-releases of the Jordan 1. A lot of recent retros of MJ’s first sneaker have been hit-or-miss but this infrared colorway is a sure thing. The best thing about these 1s is that they’re not part of any bs package, and you can cop a pair for a measly $105—unheard of nowadays when it comes to quality Jordans.

Check detailed shots of the sneakers and if you’re looking to buy, check in with retailers on February 14.

Tomorrow marks the release of the highly-anticipated Jordan Countdown 11/12 pack. Unlike most CDP’s, two sneakers with some history are included in the pack, including the Jordan XI black/red, a sneaker many consider to be the G.O.A.T.

Besides the XI, which MJ rocked on court during the 1995-1996 season, the XII—a shoe design-genius Tinker Hatfield modeled after a women’s high heel and that released in 1996-1997 is included. Both sneakers are solid additions to your rotation if you’re looking to beef up the collection. Check for them at mall retailers like Finishline, Footlocker, and cool-guy shops like UNDFTD tomorrow for $310.
