The top 2 are kind of odd I don't think i'd pick either of them for the top two but hey that might just be me. Check out the list HERE and see what you think.

Nike Auto Force 180 Black/Red Aka UGA


In other sneaker news! I have just learned that the first colorway of the Nike Auto Force 180 has just hit retail. The Auto Force 180 is one of Nike’s newest models which combines the Air Force 180 which Charles Barkley made famous with the Nike Blazer. The first colorway to hit retailers features a black base using numerous materials such as leather, perforated leather and nubuck with tonal black safari trim. Accenting the upper is red accents on the Nike Swoosh, trim wrapping around the white sole unit and on the branding included on the tongue and strap. They are perfect for this new Bulldog...straight up UGA colorway! I'd wear these every sunny day of winter!

FYI you can get this edition of the Nike Auto Force 180 now at FinishLine in sizes up to 15 for a price of $88. Your order will automatically included free shipping and if you use promo code SUMMER1060 you can save yourself an extra $10. I am soooo tempted to go there and cop a pair right now! Just don't have any money at all--Sucks soooo bad!  Please don't go out and cop these if we see each other at least once a week...

NIke Air Yeezy Auction Final



Sole Collector hooked up with Nike to help raise money for the Doernbecher program. SC held two eBay auctions for both pairs of the SUPER LIMITED Air Yeezy’s. In case you weren’t watching these rare items, the winning bids were pretty high. Keep in mind, this was a charity auction, so there’s no telling who was bidding on these Yeezy’s. I'd guess it's a celebrity of some kind, maybe even Yeezy himself! The ones that Kanye wore to the Grammy’s sold for $16,500, while the Yeezy’s with the Air Jordan 6 tooling sold for $7,400. Thats some serious bank for some kicks!

Michael Lau Nike SB Stefan Janoski


I have been wanting a pair of Janoski I even entered to win some. But this pair right here might be the freshest i've seen. Michael Lau teams up with Nike SB once again. He hooked up a dope pair of Blazers last year for the BMX Pack, but this year Michael Lau puts his attention on the Zoom Stefan Janoski sneaker. You may recall seeing a similar woodgrain pattern on the SB Dunk Lows Mr. Lau designed back in 2006.
We don’t know if these are going to be as limited as the SB Dunks, but word is they will release on October 3rd during the last day of Lau’s 10th Gardener exhibition. No word on pricing and availability.

Nike ACG: Expedition 3-Layer Jacket

This year, Nike ACG celebrates its 20th Anniversary of making it in the great outdoors and continue to purvey some of the best outdoor gear for those who get their adrenaline kick from mountaineering. For its Holiday 2009 collection, Nike ACG will be releasing a great Expedition 3-Layer Jacket, celebrating the legendary 1978 expedition on East Ridge of K2 (from which Nike ACG was born).

The highly technical and stylish tan jacket features graphics based on the infamous peak and “1978″ and “K2″ are incorporated into a logo which adorns the left chest. An inspirational quote “Boundaries are set by dictators” (also one of the first slogans of Nike ACG) appear on the jacket. Other thoughtful technical details include water resistant zippers, hook for lift tickets or gloves and numerous pockets and compartments secured by zippers. A great lightweight performance jacket for whatever winter sports or hikes and treks one might plan to engage in in style.






Nike Eugene Backpack: Black, Green, and Yellow AkA Rasta




















Don't get me wrong I love my new incase backpack, but  Nike SB Eugene Backpack is what I really wanted!  I just couldn't see me droppinig $150 for it!  It just so happens to be making a return to retail shelves this season in a brand new colorway of Black, Green, and Yellow.  I would've been so mad cause I would've wanted this colorway. This new colorway will most likely be a part of a small collection of products from Nike SB which should include a pair of Nike SB shoes as well as some pieces of apparel. The Nike SB Eugene Backpack uses 100% Nylon and features a number of compartments both large and small, a padded laptop sleeve, and a reinforced backpanel with straps.

Original Air Yeezys From the Grammys To Be Auctioned

























To go along with the Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezys being auctioned on eBay right now, another pair of Yeezy’s has been listed to raise money for the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.  Kanye himself wore the first pair of Nike Air Yeezys at the 50th Grammys 2008. Well, to our luck, or to those who can afford it, the same shoes that Kanye wore himself will be auctioned off. That’s right, the shoes off his feet are being auctioned right now. I wish I had a lot of money, but I mean I didn't have enough money to get the ones that were sold to the general public.  The black Nike Air Yeezy comes complete with pink lacelocks and a one of one custom lasered wooden box designed by Jordan Brand head Mark Smith. So, if you’re a philanthropist who also happens to be a sneakerhead, and you have like 50,000 go hit up the eBay auction now.
