Pre-Order it today at Kix-Files.

Nike Dunk High - Metallic Gold/White/Black

Gold is a color that is rarely seen used by Nike as the base color for their Dunks, however with past Gold releases like the Olympic Dunk High, it is only right that they do another pair for 2008.
The Metallic Gold, White and Black Dunk High seen above stands out from most of the recent releases and is very clean, but Nike made the mistake of using a foil like material for the Gold, which really made the shoe slightly less appealing. Nike has used this style as a template and will be releasing this shoe in a Silver and Black color-way.

Nike Womens Air Force 1 Supreme - Black/Engine/Laser Pink

Here is Nike’s latest Supreme pair of the Women’s Air Force 1 which features premium leather, two sets of laces and a multi-colored splattered mid-sole. This is truly one of the nicer pairs of Air Force 1’s seen in a long time.
Even though it is a Women’s release, it is easy to see anyone wearing it, male or female. Unfortunately, these have already been released early at China Nike accounts and won’t be in the U.S until the 2nd of February and will retail at $125, a decent price for a Supreme Air Force 1.

China Edition Jordans

With just a few days before the release of the Air Jordan China XQ Collection, we have even more details than before about the release.
Initially, it was reported that the shoes were sold in a package; however, that is not the case.
