1Thology can only be described as the mecca of sneaker sites. Sure it only a catalog of Air Force 1’s, but there is no denying the fact the outcome and influence the Air Force 1 has had on the sneaker scene. For some, over the next few days, weeks, and possible months 1thology will be something you may check day in and day out to relive the glorious past of sneakers once worn but have long gone now. Or maybe you will spot those AF1’s you saw at your local spot in passing as a young penniless teen. Regardless, it is no easy feat to look through NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE Air Force 1’s. To make it even more complex, each shoe contains 3 different views, the ability to zoom in/out as well as comprehensive information.
If the experience in itself of reliving the yesteryears regarding the Air Force 1 wasn’t good enough, Nike has done a good job of making this a very interactive website. They have included such features as “1Print” which allows you to actually create your own poster and purchase it. As well you can continually “add shoes” to your personal ongoing collection. It’s essentially a way of bookmarking your favorite AF1’s for you to share! Got a story about how you scored your first triple double back in ‘82 in those White/Grey High’s? Met your future wife wearing Goldenrod Jewel Mid’s back in ‘99? There is an option to submit stories to Nike to share with all the other AF1 heads out there. Don’t worry I saved the best feature for last. The “Shoe of the Month” gives you the ability to vote for your favorite AF1 each month of 2007. At the end of the year the “Shoe of the Year” will get reissued!
This new Nike Air Force 1 interactive site will be available on April 11.

The latest range focuses in on the darker side of design with wargod, earth angel, and church burning imagery.

Definitely one of the brands to watch in the newest generation of “streetwear” upstarts.
Hirofumi Kiyonaga just released some interior images of the new Soph. store in Kanawaza, Japan on his blog at Honeyee. For the new shop which opens on March 21th, Soph. acquired the expertise of interior designer Nobuo Araki. Araki, who also designed Burton’s first store in Harajuku, used a clean and simple concept for the Soph. store with hardwood panel floors, full mirrored walls, and hanging clothes racks. Make sure to check out the store if you’re ever in the area. It should definitely be worth the trip.

The latest from 10 Deep is a potpourri of odds and ends that promises something for everyone from the outwardly flamboyant to the upwardly trendy. Trademark print tees mark the foundation while key outerwear pieces get the signature chain treatment. A good portion of the collection will be geared for the ladies as well, furnished in varying degrees of plaid and polka dot treatments. Denim also makes its way back for a limited showing, with selected pieces being sold in ultra-exclusive numbers around the world.
The collection will be arriving in stores next week, and you can see more after the jump or at their website.
Dubbed as the NPC Pump, Reebok and BLENDS have come together to create a powerful hybrid that captures the silhouette of the NPC and revitalized it by incorporating Pump technology into the classic sneaker. Fine leathers and pony hair grace the shoe to ensure a simplistic, yet upscale presentation. Available in respective black and cream colorways, the sneakers will mark their debut on March 24th during a complementary launch event at the BLENDS store in Costa Mesa to celebrate the occasion.
Thursday last week marked the official US Launch of Swagger in New York City. To celebrate the launch, Swagger hosted a private party event at Club Stereo NYC. With their close family and friends in attendance, Big-O and Iggy popped off Swagger with a few surprises. Included was a performance with Kanye West and a surprise Lupe Fiasco performance no one suspected. Music was also provided by Just Blaze, DJ Clark Kent, and DJ Soul. The night marked a great moment for Swagger as they are now officially in the US with bigger and better things to come.
