Nike’s insatiable appetite for making things faster and lighter has seen them push the performance envelope time and time again. New for this year was the creation of Lunarfoam, a space age material which offers uncompromising weight and responsiveness relative to Nike’s previous most lightweight material, Phylon. Coupled with the weight reducing Flywire material, the Lunaracer has the makings of an incredibly featherweight but highly supportive piece of footwear engineering. When weight is not paramount, the Lunartrainer features a highly breathable mesh upper to get you through the most intense training sessions. Both are available now at Sold Out.

Continuing with their special Original Intent collection, DVS has hooked up with longtime DVS skater and HUF brand founder Keith Hufnagel on a diverse range of sneakers for the 2008 summer collection. With the careful eye of Hufnagel watching over, we’re met with some choice colorways which we feel adhere to the present direction of the HUF brand itself with not only a bit of flash but a mixture that includes refined styles as well. Three models include the HUF 5 Runner, HUF 5 Low and HUF 5 Mid. Check your HUF local Original Intent dealer for availability.
