In honor of Black History Month, Nike will release the Nike Air Force 1 Black History Month edition. Created with a blend of grey and brown suedes with a stitched black swoosh and Kente cloth laces and in-sole. The shoes will be released on February 11, 2012 and you can cope a pair at Rock City Kicks.
The Nike Air Jordan 1 Phat is back with a new colorway reminiscent of the first of two Air Jordan-inspired Dunk Low SB releases back in 2011, a black, white and action green design that’s a similar take on the Neon J-Pack design. We personally like these better though…
The Timberland Abington Collection is inspired by a time when people were rugged and their clothes had to be as dependable as their work ethic was. Taking its moniker from Timberland’s original company name, the Abington Shoe Company, the offering contains premium leathers and shoemaking meant to endure the tests of time. The Six Inch Work Boot and the Work Oxford draw their influence from the turn-of-the-century New England mill worker who, when on his feet for hours upon hours, viewed his shoes as perhaps his most valuable tool.
The Low Guide Boot is inspired by the long overdue sporting lodge getaway, a place to unwind, recharge and connect with nature before returning to the daily grind of factory work. The Alpine Ox and the Hiker pull heavily from the shoes that were worn by guides while exploring and charting the vast Presidential range deep in the White Mountains of New England. All Abington footwear features premium full-grain Horween leather made in the United States or premium suede from C.F.Stead & Co. of England. [via]
Just when you thought another Air Force 1 design couldn’t top the last release, Nike does it again with the “Cargo Khaki Camo“. The CKC is designed with an army green leather upper, the mid-foot and heel panels are the ever-so-classic camo graphic. They are assisted with green laces, a green out-sole, and a white mid-sole to finish off the look. You can grab a pair HERE.
Please baby, baby, please, baby, baby please…

FEIT grants a preview of their upcoming Spring 2012 collection, mainly composed of three new models. All materials used in this collection are natural Italian vegetable leathers containing minimal dyes, chemicals and pigments, so the hide remains as close as possible to its natural state and is biodegradable. The leather breathes as it does in nature. It is non-irritant, soft to the touch, ages richly over time and has minimal impact to the planet.
Like all FEIT shoes, each style is built from start-to-finish by one master craftsman, who signs the shoe on completion.
Nike continues to re-work its classic and arguably most coveted sneaker, the Air Force 1, into stunning hybrids seamlessly. A huge favorite in 2010, the Nike AF1 Duckboot is back and looking better than ever for the upcoming winter season. And while it was only previously available through Quickstrike releases, this one will be made available for a duration of time but in limited numbers. The outdoor aesthetic is prominent as usual with an upper featuring heavyweight leather construction, a wool ankle liner adding durability and comfort and of course the duck toe. A rugged gum sole, oversized D-Ring lace loops, heel pulls and detailed contrast stitching on the iconic swoosh top it all off. [via]
