DUNK HIGH DECONSTRUCT "OLD ROYAL"

Here we have yet another deconstructed dunk, the newer name for what used to be called an "NL" shoe (No Liner).  These have been stripped down and hit up with some plush, shaggy suede to give them a crisp look.  These seem to be a little more limited than the "Grain" colorway but not quite as tough to find as the "Dragon Red" colorway.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2012
STYLE CODE:  514778 400
MATERIALS:  Suede
COMES WITH:  White and blue laces
STREET VALUE:  Retail

DUNK HIGH SB "BLUE SUPREME"

One of many collaborations with NY-based Supreme, these dunks came out in a set of 3 along with a red and orange pair.  They feature a croc-skin pattern on the blue uppers and starts on the side panels.  Like anything Supreme-associated, the hype is strong with these.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2003
STYLE CODE:  307385 141
MATERIALS:  Uppers are smooth and textured leather.
COMES WITH:  My pair came with black, white and light blue laces and gold SUPREME lacelocks
STREET VALUE:  $325-450 per condition

BLAZER SB "RIFT BLUE"

Here we have a typical blazer sb done up in two different materials with a simple color scheme.  Although the suede is the opposite of buttery, these have proven to be a fairly well liked pair of shoes and are named after the colorway.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011
STYLE CODE: 310801 400
MATERIALS: All suede with a leather swoosh and upper rear
COMES WITH:  My pair came with blue and white laces
STREET VALUE: retail

INFO - ZOOM KOBE VI "HELICOPTER"

So, apparently Kobe Bryant has a helicopter.  This shoe is based off of the chopper's colorway.  These are also known as the Glass Blues and appear to be only slightly more limited than a general release ZKVI.  Remember to clean that sparkly clear sole after every wear to preserve the freshness of this shoe!

A LOOK BACK - AIR JORDAN XII "FRENCH BLUE"

Its been kinda drizzly out, so a nice heavy bootlike pair of 12s comes in handy.  Peep a couple new shots below (click to enlarge) and my O.G. review here.

INFO - ZOOM KOBE VI "AVATAR"

If you've read my Kobe VI Italian Camo review, you'll see why I don't even need to do a full review here.  I've gone through a ton of Kobe VI's, and today we have the blue and volt version of the previously mentioned camouflage shoes.  This pair is just as comfortable as any other pair of 6's and the colors really pop on these; the "blood splatter" is volt as opposed to the crimson used on the Italian Camos.  If you wanted a pair of Lebron V2 "Sprite" Lows and missed out, these might make a good consolation prize

DUNK LOW SB "BLUE LOBSTER"

Here we have the second lobster-themed dunk release done in collaboration with Concepts.  This edition  had a small amount of pairs launch with a bunch of extras followed by a more general though still limited release.  The sea creature-themed advertising campaign was very lengthy and well known, complete with pictures of a fake-out distraction of a dunk that was never to release (the Beijing Lows) circulating online.  These feature a bib pattern graphic on the insole and inner area and speckling on the lighter shades of the upper. The swoosh is also a double swoosh with a not-often seen white outline.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2009
STYLE CODE: 313170 342
MATERIALS: The materials are nearly identical in placement to the red version; the swoosh is leather, the rest is a super short-haired suede/leather kind of material.FEATURES:  These come with both white and black sb laces and the lobster claw bands.
STREET VALUE: $225-275.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com

AIR JORDAN III "TRUE BLUE 2011"

This is an original colorway of the AJ3 that has retro'd multiple times. Although there is some quality degradation when compared to even the 2009 version, this is still a very popular shoe that continues to sell out with every release.  This pair comes in a special elephant-print colored box with the same print on the inside paper and a retro card.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011STYLE CODE: 136064 104
MATERIALS: The entire white upper is leather, with the cement print being suede/nubuck..
FEATURES: Mine came with white laces.
STREET VALUE: $210.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

AIR MAX 90 "LASER BLUE"

Similar to another recent blue AM release, this is a classic Air Max colorway.  Some say the Laser Blue model of the AM90 is second in command only to the well-known and oft-retro'd Infrared model, but we see far less iterations of this color scheme.  Although the box label does not say laser or blue anywhere on it, these are considered the most current retro of the LB colorway.
