SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

words by Steve Jaconetta

A new month, another new set of releases from Nike SB. As we begin the month of August, it’s time to gear up and get ready for what’s to come. This month we will see everything from Dunks, Blazers, P-Rods, Classics, and more.

First off we’ll start with the azure/black colored Blazer SB. These feature a nice azure colored all suede upper with a black Swoosh and traditional all white sole. Then we get into everyone’s favorite, the Nike Dunk. We will see both a new mid top and high top colorway.

Continuing on with the 80s theme, the first Dunk mid this month features a unique tie dye print on the back heel as well as on the sock liner. Don’t let the pic fool you either, they are not black. They are a very dark obsidian color made up of a denim fabric, very nice. Rounding out the Dunks for August is the ever promsing “Mischief” (aka the “Unfutura’s”) high which features a nice simple anthracite and silver colorway.

Not to be forgotten, a new colorway of the Zoom Air Harbor as well as the Classic will be released as well. The Harbor colorway is a brown and voltage yellow with very nice leather for the upper. The Classic colorway is a yellow ochre all nubuck upper with a black Swoosh.

To finish out this post we have twonew P-Rod’s. A new low top black and gold colorway with the gold being more of a wheat color and a nice suede upper. Then we have what everyone including myself have been waiting for. The Paul Rodriguez 2 Zoom Air High in the very Jordan-ish white/varsity red colorway. These also feature the every popular cement print wrapping around the toe as well as the side lacing structure which goes all the way around the heel.
