Pickup VII...

It's been a while since we've hit you with some pickups and some sneaker content but hopefully that will change soon. The boys over @ e n t e r s p a c e have been uber busy this past few months. Stay tuned for some exciting news and posts in the near future on some of the projects on the go!

Here's a recap of some of the more recent pickups that I've made. As you're all aware, JB released a plethora of sneakers these past few months. Once model in particular and the first to be released from the "For the Love of the Game" series, the Air Jordan VII Retro (White / Midnight Navy / True Red) was my most recent purchase. If you've been going on the sneaker blogs you already know that this particular model is retroed after the Air Jordan VII's MJ wore while winning the gold with "The Dream Team" in Barcelona. This particular model which is retroed after the 2004 version (the OG pair in 1992 sported a different colour scheme and boot design) features three significant variations from the other retros.

First, the colour of the navy accents on the soles is a more distinct blue colour whereas the 2004 and 1992 versions sport a darker if not blackish colour on the sole. Second, the placement of the "9" on the heel is similar to the 1992 version. The 2004 model had the "9" placement on a different angle. Third is the addition of the "FTLOTG" embroidery on the side heel of the shoe.

All in all this sneaker looks great and sports the same JB quality of recent retros. Shouts to Justin down @ C-apsule (Toronto) for hooking that up.

The second pair that I got were a gift and they were the "Nike Air BW Gen II (Netherlands)" from the "True Colors" series. I featured this sneaker in my Top 10 Sneakers of 2010 so you know I had to get these. These sneakers were not released in Toronto so I was fortunate to grab my pair online off the 'bay. I highly recommend these sneakers if you're looking for an ideal summer shoe that can break necks while maintaining comfort!
