Nike Zoom Bruin x LIVESTRONG words_Brandon Richard Lance Armstrong’s union with cycling group Team Radioshack has brought about some new looks for Nike x LIVESTRONG collaborations. While you’re used to seeing just black and yellow colorways, Radioshack red has now been thrown into the equation. Such is the case with this LIVESTRONG Zoom Bruin. The shoe uses solid red for its nylon, suede, and mesh upper. Yellow hits contrast stitching around the Swoosh, as well as branding on the tongue and heel. Dark gum rubber works the midsole, and is completed by a yellow outsole. These are available now at Armstrong’s bike shop Mellow Johnny’s in Austin, Texas. They come with a $65 price tag.

Through the years, we have really seen a lot of colors coming from the Nike Air Max lineup that is really surprising to always see a fresh and new colorway. By this time, we already are sure what to expect that they seem to always have something up their sleeves serving as new trick. With a very high percentage of these shoes that feature winning colors, you can say that this yet another Nike Air Max colorway can start turning more heads. Today, we will have a closer look at the brand new Nike Air Max 90 in Pecan, Varsity Royal, and Black. The uppers of these shoes are predominantly in pecan which is a sure and nice brown color. These are accented in black with also some minimal hints of white. We shall think of all these colors coming well together even if it is quite unusual that they do not mix well usually with brown.

Ever been tempted by websites selling ‘authentic’ Louboutins at 70-80% off retail prices? As we’ve said before , your chances are high that those websites are selling cheap imitations. To see just how poor the quality of the knockoffs are, ABCNews had a special feature on tonight that digs into the sole of a shoe. As for the shoes above, the ones are the left are the authentic Louboutins. The ones are the right are cheap pleather knockoffs. Authentic Shops: Designer Shoes at Zappos.com Saks Fifth Avenue

Few silhouettes can remain relevant for nearly three decades. How is this accomplished? A classic design and fresh colorways. The Nike Air Force 1 Black/Metallic Silver “3M” is exactly that. The timeless low top AF1 finds itself dressed in an all black leather upper with metallic silver accents and a metallic silver outsole. A reflective 3M Swoosh jumps off the black backdrop making it a standout in the summer sun. This pair can be found at select stores with Nike Sportswear accounts including Nice Kicks in Austin, TX.

Just a few days ago we learned that the Air Force 1 and Dunk High AC that match the Toki that released this year would be releasing this weekend. It looks like Nike jumped the gun on itself though, as the Dunk is now available at Nike Store . White perforated leather covers the upper completely, with the exception of the Swoosh. A Soft Grey stripe separates the upper and textured autoclave sole.

Yesterday, Catherine (aka Obsessed with Shoes ) blogged about these Camilla Skovgaard Cut Out Sandals which totally intrigued me. I’d really like to see how these sandals look on someone, but Google Images was no help. I’m guessing if the top cross strap was flush with the skin, then they would look pretty sharp. But I don’t think I’ll be spending $379 any time soon to see how they appear on my feet. Camilla Skovgaard – S10020.1 (Black) – Footwear , $379 from Zappos Trigger your aesthetic senses with the complicated cutouts on these sophisticated Camilla Skovgaard™ sandals. High-heeled design. Shiny patent upper. Leather lining and insole. Lightly padded footbed with logo detail. Covered stiletto heel.

Say what you want about Tim Tebow’s speeches, crying and lengthy throwing motion, but the guy is the definition of competitor. In fact, he’s so much of a competitor that EA tabbed him to be the cover boy College Football 2011 and Nike inked him to an endorsement deal. We’re learning today the EA Sports x Nike Trainer 1.2 “Tim Tebow” will actually hit NikeStore.com on August 6th. There was a great amount of interest in this shoe thanks to Tebow’s history, so it should come as no surprise that Nike will allow Gator Nation and the remainder of the world to get a shot at them.
