Thanks to SOLEblvd reader “a”, we now know what New Balance 998s Kanye West has been wearing in London during fashion week. The sneaker in question is actually a 997.5, not a 998 and stems from collaboration between New Balance and high-fashion Japan based store United Arrows.
U.S distribution was minimal for these, but if you can’t live without them, the sneakers are available HERE for about $183. Detailed flicks below.

It’s being reported that G.O.O.D Music signee and young rapper-of-the-moment Kid Cudi was arrested in Phoenix over a sneaker battle with Reebok. As Baller Status reports, Cudi got into an altercation with Reebok employees after he refused to wear Reebok sneakers on stage in favor of wearing Jordans. The sneak-tiff got so out of hand that Police were brought in and had to taser Cudi to calm him down. More on the story as it develops.
UPDATE: Cudi says he was tasered but not arrested and the Reeboks they made him wear were the Orchard Street pack. He claims it wasn’t over wearing Jordans.

Nike x Starks Air Force 1 Supreme All Star Tier Zero
If you’re trying to stunt in Phoenix this weekend, these Air Force Ones are a good start. A double collabo between Starks Laces, and DJ Clark Kent, these Tier Zero Supreme Air Force 1s just hit boutiques like UNDFTD in L.A., and 21 Mercer Street in NYC. Starks handled most of the design, including the premium laces on the sneakers (3M), as well as the metal anglets, and DJ Clark Kent came in on advising the All Star Weekend friendly colorway. If you’ve ever been you know that place is a shit show filled with gold teeth, crazy colored suits, and 4xl tees. Out of the two smu’s that dropped today these are the more limited sneakers, so get on it. Score a pair and score some Phoenix groupie love, we promise. $150+…nikesportswear.com

‘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.

Supra’s P.R team has proved to be pretty savvy. In addition to your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper always rocking a Skytop or Vaider, the brand is starting to figure out how this Internet game works.
Instead of waiting for some dude blogging from his basement to leak shitty pics of the Spring 2009 line, Supra put its full range on its site with proper information. Sorry socially-nervous sneaker bloggers you may win some, but you just lost one. Check some standouts from the new line below, then click here to see all the shoes dropping soon.
