Air Jordan V "Fire Reds"

I just picked up theses shoes and I already love them. Its a classic color way embodied into a classic shoe. If you havent picked them up yet you can find them on the internet somewhere. Either way this is a nice pick up and definitely sneakerporn.

Weakly Sneaks

     The Biggest sneaker new story of the week for me and many other fellow sneaker heads is the new release info. and price tag on the retro '88 cement 3's released by Nike. 

These shoes sport the OG nike air on the back of the shoe. They will be releasing February 6, but they are gonna hurt your wallet with a price of $200. 

     Last year the galaxy pack changed everything in the sneaker game with the galaxy foams to the "big bang" Lebrons. Many sneakerheads were mad last year for not being able to cop a pair, here is your second chance with many pictures surfacing of the Nike 2013 galaxy pack. 

 

     If you enjoyed the Ewings in red and black they will be releasing it in an orange suede color way. Personally, the Ewings were not my favorite shoe. If I am buying outside Nike and Jordan. Its gonna be new balance. Those three shoe companies are the only ones that I'll find acceptable to wear, a nice collaboration is cool though. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments. 

Nike Penny V "Dolphins"

Back in November, footlocker had a campaign called the week of greatness. During this week, there were several shoes released including  the Pink Foamposites, Bred 4's, and also these Penny V's. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of these. Penny's have always been my favorite line of shoes, because of there uniqueness, color schemes, and also performance and comfort. ThePenny V is an extremely lightweight shoe with a mostly mesh upper. The icy sole adds a nice finishing touch, and as always, the dolphins inspired colorway is very nice. Being a huge dolphins fan myself, I had to buy these.

Nike KD V "Splatter"

Nike ended 2012 on a big note by releasing the Nike Basketball "Christmas" Collection on December 26th, and then releasing the KD V "Splatter" and Lebron X "Prism" on New Years Eve, both of which I was able to purchase. This shoe has a sport grey upper, with violet force accents on the swoosh, the inner and also the laces. The shoe is finished with a violet colored sole. The shoe has a nice contrast of bland and also loud colors, which really makes the shoe special. Let us know what you guys think of them.

Nike KD V "BHM" and "BHM" Nike elite socks

The Nike KD V has been a relatively hot shoe so far this year, with the christmas, maryland, and splatter colorways releasing already, and nike has stayed up to par by releasing the very detailed "BHM" colorway. The very fine details and designs are what make this shoe stand out, and the african print is made with 3m, giving the shoe an extra touch. Priced at $135, the shoe released today, January 26th. Let us know if you copped, or plan to cop this vibrant kd signature.

Requested Post by Nathan Baranski.

     Hey Sneaks and Snaps! I've been asked to post a small entry on my collection so far. My story is that of this: I started collecting freshman year of high school from my very first pair of cherry 13's. After many comeups and hard work, my collection has progressed a year and a half to what it is now. Some may call me a hypebeast. in a way, I am. But In another sense, every kid is. Every kid wants the most expensive shoe to be able to show off, rather than have the GR's most kids have nowadays. Jordans have no longer become rare, but now are seen everywhere. The only way to stick out now is by spending BANK which reflects my collection. i have yet to get most of the shoes i want, and by the end of senior year i intend to have them. Hard work is reflected in my collection as well. working many hours to earn your shoes really makes you appreciate the shoes you wear everyday, and you really learn that there is a true love to the game. If youre interested in anything, contact me at elliotrippe@hotmail.com or elliotrippe123@gmail.com. Sizing and conditions is as follows:

P.s. "South Beach" Lebron 9 elites- size 8.5   minor to moderate yellowing. Matching pink Dolphin strapback in picture

Weekly Sneaks

Highlights

Kevin durant laced up in a PE (Player Exclusive) color way of the KD 5's that matched his retro jersey.

The Lebron X "yellow diamond" and the KD 5 "homes" were released yesterday. The Lebrons received no hype, neither did the KD 5 "homes". However I thought the KD's were a great color way.

The BHM (Black History Month) color ways have been revealed for the Lebron X, KD 5, and Kobe 8s. More Info. here: http://www.kicksonfire.com/2013/01/15/nike-basketball-black-history-month-pack/

In my mind the release of the 2013 air maxes will generate a lot of change in peoples "kick-around" shoes and will have some nice colorways in store.

A definite cop for me in 2013 has to be the Air Jordan "grape" 5's. More Images of the shoe have come up. I highly recommend that you check these out and consider buying.

Finally a few new foam colorways have been given release dates. The Phoenix Suns inspired foams are by far my favorite and will be a pick up. They will be releasing march 2nd at retail of 220.
