What was known as perhaps the rarest Nike SB release of the year, may not be that exclusive after all. The Nike SB ‘Moat’ Dunk Mid, was inspired by the famous moat that surrounds the Skate Park of Tampa. Each year epic Pro and Amateur contests go down where ams become pros, and pros become legends. Years of local thrashing as well as these contest have created stories of The Moat that will go down in skateboarding folk lore history. At first only 500 of these shoes were thought to be produced exclusively for The Skate Park of Tampa. Months later, Daves Quality Meat managed to get their hands on some pairs. Who knows where they will pop up next?

The Air Jordan 4/19 Countdown Pack is undoubtedly one of the more hyped of the Countdown packs in recent memory, and for good reason; this particular colorway of the Air Jordan IV is one of the most revered in the history of Jordan Brand. Despite complaints from some “purists” that the subtle changes to the shoe detract from the overall impression, the classic Jordan blend of style and performance remains unquestionably there. The Air Jordan XIX’s, while not as hyped as their older brothers, are still proud carriers of the Air Jordan title, and have the high-tech performance for the court, while also being insanely comfortable for the street as well! With their avant-garde styling, even several years after their debut, the XIX’s are defintely a huge contrast to the classic design of the IV. Thanks to osneaker.com for providing the package.
In-store Release: Saturday, July 19th (call your local stores)

The (white/blue/mean green/sport red) SB Dunk Low, other wise known as the ‘eBay Dunk’ were auctioned off at the 2003 ASR Charity event.

Most of us could never dream of owning the pair, and probably will never even be graced with their presence. Not to fear! Nike SBs Summer collection contains the Ebay Dunk Low Sock which is now beginning to hit stores.

It looks like Jordan Brand is planning to release another pair GS Air Jordan 1’s as pictures of this black/grey pair recently hit the web. This pair might look familiar to some of you sneakerheads out there, being an original colorway of the Air Jordan 1 released back in 1985. The ankle cut of the sneakers is very much similar to the 1994 Retros rather than some of the more recent ones. The ‘94 Retros have a higher ankle cut, as opposed to the newer retro’s mid-cut-like ankle. Like the Countdown Pack Air Jordan 1’s, the main differences between these and the originals is the Jumpman on the heel and tongue. There is no information about whether or not this colorway will be releasing in men’s sizes or if it will release at all. via Niketalk
