Nike Toki Premium   Size? Exclusives

 Size? got an exclusive full grain leather Nike Toki last October, a model that moved so quickly the next set had to be four times as large.  The first two of those new designs will drop this Friday, April 20th, Ice Blue and Mint Green designs with tonal piping, eyelets and laces plus contrasting suede tongue tags and white vulc soles.  There are only 500 pairs of each color, so even with olive and navy pairs still to be released, you’ll need to act fast to get your pair from Size? on Friday.  Check them out in additional images after the jump below and stick with Sneaker News for release info for the other two Size? Toki Mids as well as their upcoming All Court 2s.

Nike SB Stefan Janoski   White   Obsidian   Zest

Nike SB wished its fans Feliz Navidad when images of a new Corona-colored Stefan Janoski signature surfaced last December, but might there be two contrast-piped white Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski releases for May 2012? If that yellow and blue-accented edition drops sometime in the next few weeks, the answer would be ‘yes’ now that this new pair in white canvas has come through with all Obsidian accents. These are basically identical to the ‘Corona’-nicknamed sample except for that earlier design’s yellow foxing; are these better as a simple almost Yankees-like pinstriped look than that other style reminiscent of one of Mexico’s best-selling beers? Let us know when you click through for more images of this new Zoom Stefan Janoski SB and find yours at retailers like Premier.

Sneakers have some sort of ‘inspiration’ behind them, and more often than not, it’s some kind of pop culture reference that reflects the nostalgic attention to detail that unites sneakerheads.  But in the case of this new Vans Vault Chukka Boot and Era, we’re seeing a design that has its roots in one man’s quest for a life in harmony with the natural world.  Kicks/HI teamed up with fellow 50th stater Sig Zane to bring to live the ‘Makua to Makai’ Pack that takes us from ‘mountains to sea’ with a couple of Zane’s distinctive patterns that connect us with Hawaii’s unique and beautifully holistic culture. 


Nike Air Force 1 iD Atmos

One of the highlights of the sneaker calendar is without question the introduction of elephant print to the Air Force 1 iD. Here we have a look at an Air Force 1 iD in an Atmos outfit, featuring elephant print, a white toe-box, a black mid-foot panel, and the bright turquoise blue Swoosh. Unfortunately, the original grey/black color combo of elephant print is no longer available (although a number of other elephant print colors are up for grabs).




The iconic New Balance 1300CL are one of a few sneakers that has a timeless design. The use of quality materials and craftsmanship will continue to make it sought after for years to come. This “Steel Blue” colorway of the 1300CL will stay true to their roots of producing quality products. The upper is equipped with a mixture of premium grey nubuck and mesh materials. It’s also equipped with an ENCAP midsole for maximum comfort. Price around £80

Nike Blazer Low VNTG   Sail   Black

Nike Blazer Low VNTG   Sail   Black

Of the six leather vintage Blazers Nike Sportswear has released over the past three-plus years, Size? are responsible for two-thirds.  Their slice of the pie grows a bit larger today with word of another exclusive colorway, this time on the Nike Blazer Low VNTG silhouette.  These are basically a chopped-down version of the HO09 drop that also paired Sail and black.  And just as their height is shorter, so is the supply, but as of right now this old school take on early 2012′s signature colorway is available at Size?
