Nike Air: 3 Decades of Cushioning by Josh Rubin
I'm dizzy. As a celebration of three decades of Air cushioning, Nike is launching an all out assault on the senses of sneakerheads worldwide. Each of the 8 iconic AirMax models is being produced in 7 different colorway packs all dropping this weekend. I'll let the pros give you the overview and will just share my favorites. From left to right above, the AirMax '93 from the Orange Pack, the AirMax '97 from the Blue Ribbon Sports Pack and the soon-to-be-launched AirMax 360 from the Limited Edition toy inspired pack.
For the best pics, check out Crooked Tongues.
For the best overview of all 56 models, check out Freshness.
For the historical overview (and a desktop wallpaper designed by Chuck Anderson), check out Beinghunted.

Sports Store. Opened Monday directly across the street from their...

Clae Summer 2008
Due to belatedly launch in the next week, Clae's Summer 2008 collection is further testament to the flawless level of detail that the brand strives for. We love the bright, perfectly-hued monotones and contrasts in texture this season. But what struck us this time is how impressive it is for such a young label to consistently come up with shoes that stay true to...

Tagür AKA Blank
Like the better mousetrap, we're constantly trying to design the more stylish sneaker. Burlington-based Tagür is upping the ante with their AKA Blank shoes. These white shoes are an artist's canvas (made from a specially treated paint-friendly surface) on which to express yourself. If you don't feel inclined, just set up one of your "artsy" friends with a Sharpie indelible marker and let 'em...
