To some, the Black/Cement Jordan III may be one of the best Jordans ever. Is that why Nike retroed them a total of 4 times now? Of course they feature great tumbled leather uppers, elephant print detailing around the heel and toe cap, and a Air Jordan logo on the back heel. We were able to get a few extra pairs after our Pre-Orders sold out.

Levi Maestro has been a significant contributor in the sneaker and streetwear culture. Now he has stepped up and made his official footwear debut with Vans Vault. He chose to work on an Old Skool Decon (or what seems to be the silhouette) and made it have a navy suede and leather tonal upper, on top of a white sole. No word on official release but check the video below for a preview.

New Nike SB Stefan Janoski’s for December 2011 just came in. They feature obsidian suede uppers and a khaki stitched swoosh with a khaki suede hit on the back heel for good measure.

Vans Vault has been making the best quality shoes under Taka Hayashi the past few years. Vans Vault and Taka Hayashi teamed up with BILLYKIRK, the US based leathermakers, on a special collaboration. The new TH Hi LX comes in a navy/brown colorway, while the Derby LX comes in an olive/black colorway. Both shoes feature a mixture of suede, nubuck, leather and canvas uppers that haven’t been done before. These are starting to pop up at local Vans Vault retailers so scoop them up before they are long gone.
