This great image of the latest version of the Dunk Hi Nylon sneakers from Nike is courtesy of Standard. These sneakers, introduced last year in October, were big sellers and Nike has brought them back with a couple of new changes. [via]
I wanted a pair last year and I still want a pair now. Mmm!

It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but these Keith sneakers from FCUK are very nice. A simple nylon top with a white rubber bottom. I would have bought these if they didn’t cost $98.
UPDATE: Coupon code ‘FULLPRICE20′ brings the total down to about $78 (but still kinda pricey considering the fact that I believe these shoes take much less to manufacture).

Leave it to the Japanese to re-invent one of the most basic playground games of all time: tug of war. Except the only difference is that instead of a rope, you’re using some sort of two-ended nylon sock slipped over the head of each opponent. [via]
Now that’s a game I’d love to see brought to the playgrounds in the US.

I took a stroll with Paul and Stacy down to the Nike Sportswear store in SoHo today and basically fell in love with these Nike Dunk High nylon sneakers. I’ve seen them before online and wasn’t a big fan of them, but in person they look totally different somehow.
The shoes are inspired by vintage Nike Vandals which I’m not a very big fan of. But the small cosmetic changes between the two shoes make all the difference. I seriously almost bought these today in silver/white/red/blue (my favorite color combination!). :)
But alas, I resisted temptation.
Anyway, the Dunk High Nylon pack comes in three colors, two of which you see above, and a third which is a sort of mustard yellow. I’d be totally happy with any of these two colors posted here. YUM.
PS: I need a shoe rack. BADLY.
