The Nike SB site usually have updates at the beginning of the month. This time, they have the Shanghai 2 Dunk SB for giveaways. As we know, the Melvins Dunk Hi, Slam City Dunk, and Shanghai II are all going to be released in September. Moreover, there are two more shoes for this month, a Black and a White Blazer Mid as well as a White and Dessert Clay Zoom Team Edition. The Blazer really catches my eyes, and the special thing is that the Nike embroidery has changed to stars.
As you guys know, the Nike Stussy Court Force will be release soon. For that, there will be a lanuch party in Melbourne and Sydney. For the Melbourne party, it will be held at Someday Gallery on September 11th. For the Sydney party, it will be held at Monster Children Gallery on 26th September. From Sneaker Freaker.

Pictures of the Defining Moments Pack have surfaced on In Style Shoes Forums. The Pack includes Air Jordan VI and Air Jordan XI in slightly altered colorways.
Why have these shoes were chosen as defining moments kicks? Well Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan VI when he won his first NBA championship (againts the lakers). And for the other shoe, he won his first NBA title after his return to NBA wearing the AJ XI (the fact, that elevens are the most popular Air Jordan of all time does help a little as well).
The addition of gold color is to commemorate the championship staus of these shoes. These are rumored to drop around christmas season and retail for $295. This will be limited to “urban accounts” and will only be available in the US.

As you may have heard, New Orleans is gone. Completely underwater and totally destroyed. Everyone say a prayer for New Orleans. I hope everyone is safe. If you can, please consider donating to the Red Cross or another relief effort organization. Some things are just so much more important than the latest kicks.
Friday magazine recently reported about the Nike Terminator Low, American Soccer League Pack.
“As a tribute to the American Soccer League which lasted a bit over 50 years since 1933, Nike’s relentless pursuit in re-introducing the hall of fame had finally out-done itself simply by placing the name of a soccer team on a pair of basketball shoes. Fortunately, this is still only a pair of samples.”
