SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

words by Steve Jaconetta

A new month is almost here and with that a new lineup of shoes. September seems very promising for SB fans out there. Nike SB offers us everything from the Blazer to a P-Rod 2. Not to mention everyone’s favorite the Dunk as well as a new colorway of the Tre A.D.

So i’ll kick things off with the Blazer. There will be two released, one a low and one a high. The low is a premium and features a nice khaki colored nubuck upper. The grape Swoosh and sockliner are a nice added touch as is the traditional all white sole. Then we have the high.

This black/bright cactus colorway has a red toe bumper to spice things up. The pebbled leather Swoosh comes with a turquoise outline, white the grey nubuck eye stay gives the shoe an additional bit of contrast. Definitely something different from the previous 2-tone full suede Blazers. Now, onto the P-Rod.

This months P-Rod 2 features a nice grey and red color combination. Already nicknamed the “Newsprints” due to the description of the color, these should serve as a fan-favorite. Peep the shoe laces as well, gives off a Jordan IV “Cement” vibe, very cool. After that we have a new colorway of the Zoom Tre A.D.

This one just screams out New York Knicks at you! Featuring a nice mixture of orange and blue throughout the whole shoe. A very dope colorway, the white helps to breakup the colors and also add that little extra to really make these shoes pop. Last but certainly not least, here’s your Dunks for this month.

We will see both a Mid and a Low release. First off, we have the much anticipated black/aqua colorway, aka the “Send Help Mids”. Not much need be said about these, a definet cop. Then we round out the footwear with a nice and pretty simple colored Dunk Low. It features a poison green colored Swoosh which gives this simple colorway some flavor. As does the pink that wraps around the heel also. A very nice mixture of suede and nubuck complete the upper.

Here’s an update! The highly anticipated “Shoe Goo” Dunk High Premium SB will be this month’s quickstrike release. It’s inspiration comes from, you guessed it, shoe goo. For those who do not know what shoe goo is, it’s a very popular product used by skaters to help keep their shoes in tact.
