Sneaker News: January 28th, 2009


Yes we can! Get awesome materials, subdued colorways, and comfy Vans. The Vans Syndicate series has been shouting out iconic (and still skating) skateboarders from the scene, and the next set for Eric Dressen drops this coming March. [High Snobiety]

The CONS skate line is strong and subtle, and these ERX 300 SKATEs fall right in line. [Sneaker Freaker]

We used to have mad hate for the Blazer, but after the ACG Mids and these new Mid Supreme Tier Zeros, it seems time to re-think the silhouette. [Nice Kicks]

Check the full Puma x UNDFTD 24K collection. [Sneaker Files]

Um… Lego Chuck Taylors? It’s cool, but sometimes you have to listen to your Wii Fit and go outside. [Make Blog]

If you like high high tops, the fall Kris Van Assche fall gear is going to shit all over your Skytops. [Hypebeast]

UNDFTD x Puma Mid 24K Pack in XXL Magazine


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.

Sneaker News Roundup: December 11, 2008

Nike and Cassette Playa. What, you thought it was just a shoe? Check this video where they try to explain future primitive and claim that they didn’t just rip off Jeremy Scott. Isn’t Future Primitive a skate video guys? We caught you.

• Check out the best of the best in 2008, as picked by the industry’s finest (?) courtesy of the homies down under. [Sneaker Freaker]

Jordan 11/12 Countdown pack has hit eBay, so if you can’t wait until Saturday, or have a special date with a crazy girl who knows a lot about sneakers, hit up one of these guys. [eBay]

Kobe is the man right now. Sure LeBron is good, but no one cares about his sneakers. Peep the highly anticipated Hyperdunk Low, also known as the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. [Freshness]

W)Taps x UNDFTD comes forth with a crazy Timberland-looking deck shoe and a hoodie to (kind of) match. [Hypebeast]

Converse x UNDFTD Poor Man’s Weapon


Converse will be dropping this UNDFTD Special Make-Up of it’s Poor Man’s Weapon this February at UNDFTD stores. The shoe was originally set for earlier (Vapors had it on the cover of its sneaker issue back in September, and then it was planned for Jan), but the shoes took a little while to get put together, and UNDFTD didn’t want it to conflict with its other drops.

The Poor Man’s Weapon is a new lifestyle silhouette that creates a vulcanized Chuck Taylor-esque hybrid of the Original Weapon, and this version takes inspiration from flight jackets with a tough padded nylon. Hit the jump for additional photos of the Weapon, which will be a run of 700 pairs, dropping in February (think Valentine’s Day weekend) for $75.
