Sneaker Freaker were recently put in charge of creating a special commemorative quasi magazine/book regarding the Air Force 1. With no short of experience in writing and magazine production, who better to instill this honor upon. Included in this piece are interviews with many of the leading Air Force 1 heads in the world such as DJ Clark Kent, Bobbito Garcia, and Stash. It doesn’t stop there, a lesson is provided in the history of the New York “Uptown” scene, as well as the upcoming range of AF1’s releasing this year. Unfortunately this book is only available at Australian Footlockers, and directly through the Sneaker Freaker store

Umbro by Kim Jones is slowly making it’s way to dealers worldwide, and these new Spring ‘07 trainers definitely caught our eye. The reason being is the simplicity. Rather then go out and produce many colorways of the same models, they have done simple colorways exclusive to each model. The Vulcanized Hi Woven shown on the left, and Mindy Lace Leather Lo offer two very different sneakers that can make that illusive task of finding the right trainers to go with your denim that much easier. Check them out at Haven.
Rebel Ape by SSUR are set to debut a new Spring/Summer Colection. Slamxhype was able to get a good look at the upcoming line sheets that carry many variations of the familiar Rebel Ape face. Check the rest of the line after the t-shirt side of things after the jump! The reason I say t-shirt, is that there appears to be a lot more to this line including denim and hoodies, so stay tuned!
