Most of his creations definitely come with a bit of a loud attitude, making use of a lot of metallic colors and patent leathers. The Spring/Summer 2010 Collection is a little less bold, but still makes use of the metallics in new ways.
Check out the complete line-up of sneakers for Spring/Summer 2010 here.

Dépourvu d’appareil photo et autres gadgets aujourd’hui communs, ce téléphone mobile remplit néanmoins toutes les fonctionnalités de base requises pour passer des communications ou envoyer des messages. Petit détail qui a son importance : le clavier du Pureness ne se révèle que lorsque celui-ci est utilisé. Disponible dès le 16 novembre, en exclusivité chez Colette. Prix : 700 €.

While we are looking at the full collection for men being offered to Jordan Brand we may as well check out the boys and girls collection. While a lot of the shoes are just the same as the adult models as you can guess the girls shoes have some nice color ways. Dunno how yall feel about it but the pink/black Jordan True Flight, the pink/grey/blue Spizike’s a d the Jordan VI are CRAZY. ViaSoleCollector
Jordan Brand pays tribute to their iconic first model by way of the Alpha Air Jordan I. The reworked model doesn’t go too crazy with the updates and thats probably a good thing since by sticking to the old script they don’t change what we love about the shoe that much. The sole is given a Zoom Air upgrade while the upper benefits from the use of an overlay to smooth the whole design out and remove most of the stitches. Slated for release in four color ways surely there’s one in there that wets your whistle. So now is the time for the voice of the people to be heard, KOF readers what do YOU think? Via SoleCollector

This month, the Air Royal Mid is featured in a more “high-fashion” look with heavy doses of black patent leather offset by a black suede toe area.
