Puma Unlimited Hi & Lo "Limited Edition"
Despite the oxymoronic title of this post, I am feelin' this Puma Sneaker. The Puma Unlimited Hi & Lo's were first introduced in 1991. Mita Sneakers has two limited edition packs. They gave them an upscale make-over adding fat laces with vibrant colors as well as croc skin. Both sneakers come in three colorways and will be available as of April 21st.
Nike Air Max 97 Lux "Rainbow"
I have to be honest, I like these sneakers but I don't know if I could ever rock them. I'm the most flamboyant color and design sneaker head out of all my friends. But even I have to take a step back on these rainbow joints. They look cool though...
the AM 97 Lux "Rainbow." The base color of the sneaker is white with a multicolor pattern going over the sneaker. I really dig the disco influenced insert! It is now available at Bingo Runner.
Nike Air Max Light "Mexican Blanket"
Hey look!! Nike takes cues from a New Balance material! Here is an Air Max Light colorway, that has arrived at Size?. The Japanese give it a fresh face in this limited colourway with a touch of stingray material, patent and perforated leather and Mexican bandana style trim on the ankle piece. Even though a pretty wild mix of colors and materials, the sneaker keeps an overall clean look, mainly due to the white base color.

New Balance CM576 MC Special Edition
Check out this special New Balance 576 version! this was never put on sale (thus assuring it's status and legend). Since the brand is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the shoe this year, they gave it out as a present to their best retailers. It mixes different New Balance sneakers out of the 20th anniversary collection into one, featuring a multitude of materials and colors. I love these vibrant colors and am totally ready for anbody to send me a pair.
Shoe Planet has only two of these in stock now and is auctioning them off!

New Balance x Stussy x Undefeated x Hectic - Triple Threat MT580 "Synthetic"
The Triple Threat project of Undefeated, Stussy, Hectic in collaboration with New Balance continues this season and once again they worked on the MT580. And can't we all be thankful that new balance has finally answered our prayers and has begun to release 580s in the U.S.A.! The "Synthetic" pack consists of three colorways of the New Balance MT580. These are a seeming return to earlier colors and I for one am excited. The vibrant colors and materials are a welcome change from the more subdued sneakers that New balance released throughout the fall and winter. The pack will be released on the 26th of April in Japan.

THE GROUCH - SHOW YOU THE WORLD 4/8/08
THE GROUCH - SHOW YOU THE WORLD(04.08.08, Legendary Music)
On his first solo record in five years, The Grouch offers his usual well thought out, yet straight forward rhymes. But his production is more varied, sophisticated and polished than ever before.
“I worked on this record for almost three years,” notes The Grouch of how he’s developed as an artist. More, this record was an idea that sprang to mind after the birth of my daughter, Rio, in 2006. As soon as she arrived all I could do is think about wanting to show her everything that I love. I was quickly humbled when I realized I was learning as much from her as she was from me.”

New Balance "Chinese Opera Mask" Pack
I MUST HAVE THIS SHOE!!!Developed by New Balance Japan, check out "The Mask" pack.
It consists of 3 New Balance 576's, each coming in strong colors, inspired by traditional Chinese Opera masks. Embossed graphics, premium suede, patent leather, reflective 3M material, mask embroideries and many more details.
A little info about Chinese Opera. The main color in a facial makeup symbolizes the disposition of the character. The facial makeups date a long time back to the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties at least. Simple patterns of painted faces are found in tomb murals of that age. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), improvements were made in the skills of drawing and in preparing the paints, leading to the whole set of colorful facial patterns that we see in today's Jingju (Beijing Opera). The art of Bian Lian (literally translated as "face changing") is a part of Szechuan Opera dating back to the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century. Bian Lian involves very fast mask changes to signify different emotions.
Now that you're super educated about chinese masks you, like me, may ask why they didn't include a color or a mask changing capability into the shoe pack. Wouldn't that have been cool!?! It would have maintained the theme and added an element that no other shoe company has really developed yet. Colors that change due to temperature, or masks that change when they move would have really set this shoe off. This is what NB should be doing with the Ndividual pack, by the way...
