Here at DRIPT we like to think of ourselves as much more than Sneakerheads, but artists, fashionistas and some other really cool stuff, for lack of a better word. We are currently trying to expand our articles to the fashion, style, art, and street culture and this will be our first article on anything other than footwear.
Naked and Famous Denim is a company that adds no extras, just pure raw denim. They only use unique and rare denim imported from Japan and made with a mix of traditional methods and modern technology throughout the entire process so it has more meaning and unique qualities than any other denim around. Best part about the denim is their high quality, great prices, and made in Canada! You can purchase denim here at their site http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/

Ever wonder what other shoes look like in your favorite color-ways? Like the Air Force 1 Low Supreme Denim that came out this past Spring? Well now you can! This year at DRIPT our favorite shoe was the Lebron 8 and now thanks to Air_Andy we got some images of that color-way applied to the Lebron 8. The Denim replaces the leather on the upper and the stitching is done with contrasting gold and also along the swoosh border. Fly-wire panels as can be seen from the image are black. most likely these are going to be a release for family and friends like the 112 we showed you earlier today. Stick with us for more release information. Once again, thanks Air_Andy
DJ Clark Kent and the well known 112 design has applied itself to the Lebron 8 V1, sadly this is said to be a Friends and Family release only. Taking the Black and Neon Green and applying it to this new silhouette and making all of our mouths drop and drool, these are straight fire! The neon was applied to all the synthetics while black leather and black elephant print on some of the panels with 3M reflective material on smaller ones like the logo piece under the heel tab. Top three Lebrons from this year will include the 112, the South Beaches, and the Miami Nights. We would like to wish everyone good luck in trying to get their hands on the Miami Nights and even more luck to those who want the 112's. When we know, you'll know.
Stick with DRIPT for more release information on the hottest kicks around. A while back we brought you an image of the Air Flow and the Lunar Flow and then we showed you some upcoming colorways of the Lunar Flow that were only being released at certain websites like Kicks-crew and specific Asian retailers like Nike Harajuku. Here we bring back the solar red Lunar Flow since it is our favorite. One of the best things about these kicks is the sole fact that it collaborates a classic with new technology, similar to the Huarache Free 2012. Here, however, the new technology is the Hyperfuse upper and the Lunarlon mid-sole. This tonal Solar Red upper with an all white Lunar mid-sole is sure to turn heads, while still being extremely comfortable, and breathable thanks to the Hyperfuse material. Also, an added bonus is it comes with Nike+ technology. Something we personally use everyday, thanks Nike and Apple! Orginally these were supposed to be coming out this summer but they will hopefully be out end of the summer beginning of the fall.
One of the amazing things about DRIPT is here, we are not modest and we are all Talented. Yes, we are all very very Talented.
now that I got that out of the way, I wanted to bring you a pair of customs by our top Lady, NeF. She started with a basic Converse Low with a Grey upper and added the highlights on the seams and the tongue tag. She then gave it simple detailing on the canvas upper by applying leopard print. Let us know what you think about them below and if interested in purchasing a pair please email at Kicksking@dript.net for pricing. Ever since Nike developed the Free technology to mimic barefoot running, they have been mixing up the Free mid-sole with tons of Nike Sportswear styles and training shoes. The next one on our radar is the Nike Huarache Free 2012, which looks kind of similar to the Huarache Dance shoe, which were unisex. They were actually something a lot of men have been seen wearing, assuming you kind find it in your size since it was made in womens sizes with the mens counterpart size on the box too. Nike takes some things on the Huarache Free 2012 from the 90's with the exposed sock-liner and the minimal upper. One thing we would like to see is the Free technology on a pair of Huarache Trainers from this past year. Check out the Dance Shoe and the Free below.
Size? and Reebok Workout BC is a collaboration that is sure to put some class into your collection. Reebok has British roots and they are collaborating with Size?, one of Britain's largest footwear retailers who has also collaborated with Nike and New Balance and even other shops like Bodega. Using a canvas upper, different than the leather from the original Workout BC with synthetic piping on the seams similar to the Nike Vandal these kicks create a unique feel that is very calming. The shoes come with two pairs of Cotton waxed laces and in two colors, grey and light brown and can be found at Size? and their online store at http://size.co.uk/home
What do you get when you cross a finger painter and an airbrush? Potentially something like the Miami Nights. Hot color and design regardless and definitely sure to cause some stir once it starts to fully release, if it does. It was released this morning on Nike.com in China and sold out and converted to about $190. Sadly though by the time most people found out about it, it was too late. None have surfaced on ebay yet but we will keep you posted and when we know more info especially if it will be releasing in the states we will let you know. Our fingers are crossed that it makes its way over here. Let us know what you think in the comment section or shoot us an email.
Originally these flashy kicks were only available for a special 30 lucky people who won a contest online, and now their being released on Nikestore for the rest of us to fight over. This coming Friday the Blake Griffin PE will supposedly be releasing on Nikestore for $135 in extremely limited quantities. They are not the same pair that he wore during the Slam Dunk contest but they are a similar modified version. No word yet on if they are 'Glow in the Dark' like the originals but their insanely bright and awesome anyway. Let us know what your thoughts on them are.
Nothing makes the readers of DRIPT more happy than when release information is put up and now, we got some fantastic info relating to the Concord XIs that are going to be released later this year. Just like the packaging of the Cool Greys and the Spacejams these are going to come with the premium slide out package. In addition to that, based on the fan reaction to the Cool Greys and the ever increasing numbers of Sneakerheads these are sure to cause some problems on the release date, whether that is crowd control on lines or something else. Nikestore was overloaded with purchasers last year for the Cool Greys and they sold out quickly so hopefully that wont happen again. These will be released at local Footlocker and Finishline, and Footaction locations so check it out as we get closer to the date. They will be releasing on December 23rd the Friday before Christmas.
