More and more denim covered sneakers are dropping lately. We had seen grey denim and dark selvage denim, and now we get a mixture. The newest SB Dunk is covered in dark obsidian/midnight navy denim. The Dunk also features the new and improved sole and mid sole, that I talked about a while back. It’s a pretty damn good looking shoe, but right now it’s only available in store at UK skate shop Dissent. I’ll keep you posted if and when these drop in the U.S. What do you think of the Nike SB Dunk “Denim?” The rest of the pics after the break.

Nike Zoom Bruin SB “Mulder”
You may remember my first encounter with the SB Bruin as the shoes that Marty McFly wore in the first Back to the Future. Now they are getting the retro treatment thanks to Richard Mulder; who designed the shoes colors after the LA Dodgers. I wish this shoe was red and white instead of blue and white. What do you think of the SB Bruins colorway the rest of the pics after the break.

New Nike SB shoe box?
Shots have popped up on N-SB’s forum on what might be the new shoe box. Nothing has been confirmed and new SB’s are still shipping the regular blue box. I like this new style of box, has a real “street” feel, which is where most kids use SB's. What do you think of the possible new box? Do want the blue box to continue? Check out the box after the break.

Top 5 Skateboarding Shoes
Let’s just say I am no professional skateboarder. I have dabbled in the sport, back when boards were wider. I tried, 4 years ago, skateboarding again with a more modern board; quickly learning that skateboarding has gotten a whole lot more amazing. Which means I couldn’t compete. Now my only link to skateboarding is shoes and my old decks. You know my back story and how I have no expertise in skateboarding. What I really mean is that these shoes may not be the best shoes for skateboarding, just the best looking shoes that have to do with skateboarding. See the full list after the break.

Nike SB Stefan Janoski Obsidian/Gum
A new Janoski colorway just dropped at 21 Mercer. The color is obsidian with a gum sole. The color is a dark blue, but not navy and it look amazing with the gum sole. The gum sole is slowly becoming my favorite color for the bottom of a shoe. Plus you know I love the Janoski, my favorite SB. What do you think of the new Janoski colorway? Are you going to pick these up? More detailed pics after the break.

Nike SB Blazer Low Midnight Navy/Varsity Maize
Hey University of Michigan fans! Are you looking for a shoe to support your team? Well look no further Wolverine fans. The new Nike SB Blazer low now comes in Navy and Maize, just like your team colors. Just like my Air Max1 Skull Pack, which comes in Gator colors, are my go to shoe to wear on game day. I would rather wear a shoe that has the team colors, but does not have an affiliation with the team. What do you think of the Blazer Low? More pics after the break.
Nike SB Stefan Janoski “Tiffany Diamond” Black/Mint
Since they just redesigned the Janoski, I’ve decided to post my favorite Janoski. The Tiffany Diamond Black/Mint colorway. This shoe was released in August 2010 and people went crazy for them, including yours truly. Unlike the SB Dunk version, which is a lot more mint on the shoe. The Janoski flips the normal colorway will all black and a little mint, which looks amazing. What do you think of the Tiffany Janoski? More pics after the break.

Nike SB Stefan Janoski Brown 2011 Model
This is my favorite Nike SB by far. I love the loafer style of this shoe. Nike decided to update the “Janoski” for 2011. It’s not a whole redesign; they just added a string lace to the back of the shoe. I think it gives this shoe a more “boat shoe” feel then before. Before it just reminded me of a loafer or a slip on. What do you think of the redesign? Was it needed? Check out a more pics after the break.
