NIKE DUNK HI LAKERS "NON SB'

This Lakers Dunk High is not to be confused with the SB’s we posted last week. The Lakers SB Dunk Hi’s will never release, but these non-SB Lakers Dunk Hi’s will make their way into stores early next year.

The nice blend of purple mesh and yellow accents applied to these Dunks is screaming for some Lakers attention. Peep the gum sole, sweet! These Dunks are slated for a Spring 2010 release, so someone e-mail Kobe a link to this post.

100 GREATEST KICKS..

This is personally my favorite part of this issue, the " 100 GREATEST KICKS ".

O yeah and this would be my favorite page lol.

This shoe right here started it all for me back when I was in 6th grade, these Reebok Answer 1s came out and I just had to have em. I wore em down till the soles finally came out, hands down, my favorite vintage shoe! I remember one day I had to wrap my shoes in plastic bags when it started raining hard, thats when I knew I was in love with sneakers!

ahh whoever has a size 11, ill pay LOOT!
