NIKE AIR YEEZY X AIR JORDAN VI MONSTER FOR THE HIGHEST BIDDER!

These rare 1/1 kicks just hit e-Bay as part of the annual Doernbercher/Nike charity partnership and were bought with the highest bidder laying down $7,400.00. And those are no Zim dollars my friends.

Even though the price was expected, I still had to fish my jaw out from under my desk… However, there’s not a collection on Earth that wouldn’t get a nice boost from these rare puppies. Just ask any self-respecting sneakerhead.

In addition to the never-seen-before Yeezy x Jordan hybrid, the winner walked away with a special white laser-etched collector’s box and one of Mark Smith’s original sketches of the Air Yeezy.

BASE NIGHTS PUTS THE BOOM IN BOX!

MTV Base is bringing the heat in the City of Gold at Latinova on the 2nd of October 2009. The lineup sends tingles down the spine with DJ Dimplez, DJ Milkshake and Base Nights resident, DJ Biz, not to mention, Slikour with Kwela Tebza, Sypho and Shugasmaxx.

The dress code is strictly Award Night style with the theme being Black and Gold. It’s going to be a killer if the flyer is anything to judge it by – you can cut it out to make your own lil’ Boom Box. Aw sweet… I wouldn’t try walking around with it on my shoulder though.

WE TREAT WOMEN LIKE ROYALTY!

Today, the girl in the office next door got flowers. Apparently, her date from last night just had to tell her that he couldn’t stop smiling. So much so that his cheeks were numb. Aw… *vomit* Not all of us have guys that treat us like royalty… but we can always rely on our shoes to do so.

Like the Women’s Nike Air Royalty Hi Premium with their distinctive 80’s look. Made especially for the ladies with premium leather in that slick basketball silhouette that’s prime for the streets, they are perfect with a pair of skinnies or leggings. The seldom-seen cupsole with an Air-Sole Unit for cushioning and rubber outsole with a pivot point for traction and durability make these a dream come true.

There are two colourways – one is a white knight with all white leather on the upper with a Metallic Gold swoosh and Smoke Grey rubber outsole.

The other is the dark bad boy in Nightshade Premium Leather with white leather accents around the ankle. The rubber outsole and the swoosh come in a Red Plum colour.

Oh, there is a similar style for the guys as well… Click here.

“FAST IS NEVER ENOUGH” NIKE FOOTBALL AD

 Nike athletes can never be stopped… and neither can the adverts bringing on the heat. This time it features Theo Walcott, Arsenal’s wunderkind in his prime. Well shot and emotive, this ad gets the heart pumping like a 100m race never could. Catch it below.

THE 1ST EVER POP BOTTLES BIRTHDAY ANNIVESSARY WITH MKAY FRESH!

The DJ line up got your feet tapping before a track was even played, the hype was monstrous and the tickets were sold out at presale for DJ Dimplez’ Pop Bottles Party’s first ever anniversary last weekend.

It was a real live Hip Hop music video filmed at old Parktown manor; the girls were in freakum’ dresses and the cats were balling, all while kids popped open the good stuff - Moet Champagne, Patron and Hennessy.

Our very own Mkay Fresh taught streetwear kids how to get fresh (chuckle chuckle, excuse the pun) in a still photography doccie shot by Justin McGee. Check out more on our Facebook group here

THAT CLASSIC SPRING COMBO IS NOW COMPLETE!

The buds are blossoming, the pigeons are pomping – Spring is creeping in with skirts and shorts just calling out for low top sneakers. NSW has heard the cry and brings you these two classic Cortez colourways for that perfect Spring street combo.

The first colourway features ink-coloured suede on the toebox, heel and eyerow as well as a neutral grey midsole with a wedge. Dress this up with a Hyper blue nylon upper and “Hot Red” swoosh, tongue tab and heel tab and you’ve got a pair of shoes as pretty as the blossoms on the trees.

The second colourway has a Midnight Navy upper and suede on the toebox, heel and eyerow accented with a New Magenta swoosh, heel tab and tongue tab as well as an orange midsole with a wedge. It gives me butterflies.

Both of these classics come with white laces and leather inner lining. That classic sponge rubber outsole with herringbone pattern for traction and durability is sure to put a “spring” in your step. Chuckle chuckle.
