Since 2004, Pimp My Kicks has been producing some of the most luxurious, handmade custom sneakers around. The brand recently hooked up with New York’s Oliver Moore Bootmakers, known for their work with celebrities and professional athletes, for a unique take on the classic Nike Dunk.

The special collaboration sees the Dunk Low and High recreated with premium leather uppers made to resemble a timeless dress shoe. Sitting atop gum and olive outsoles with black, white or grey midsoles, the luxurious kicks even sport suede interiors for those who prefer to rock them sans socks, while the the dressy look is topped off with alligator Swooshes.

Limited to only five pairs of each style, the kicks come with custom lace jewels and laser-engraved wooden boxes courtesy of Woodville Inc. Head on over to PMK now if you’re interested in picking up this super limited collab.

Originally previewed back in August of last year, the Supreme x Vans Half Cab 20th Anniversary collaboration is finally set to see the light of day.

Hand-cut and duct-taped by Steve Caballero himself, each pair comes in a special edition box and is individually numbered and autographed.

With only 20 pairs available worldwide, the kicks are set to drop tomorrow, January 28, as an in-store release at Supreme’s New York, Los Angeles, London and Tokyo Harajuku locations.

The Converse Chuck Taylor is so popular and such a big part of the sneaker community that it’s an easy target for collaborations. NIGO recently helped the Converse Addict line design a pair. And today’s Converse Chuck Taylor All Star news revolves around the brand’s decision to pay some homage to three major US cities- Los Angeles, Boston &, of course, New York. New York’s pair comes in grey/blue, Boston’s in brown/green & LA’s in black/purple. Regardless of your city ties, which colorway do you think looks the best? Each pair is available for purchase now for the retail price of $90.

The gym at Masaryk Towers has been opened by Nike Basketball.

Taken over after falling into a state of disrepair, the newly renovated gym sports everything one could need for the perfect game of basketball. Currently invite-only, the gym will remain open until April before it is turned back over to the residents of Masaryk Towers on the Lower East Side.

“In New York, when the temperature drops, the hunger rises. Those who are on a mission to elevate their game will tell you their journey begins right now. The only way to dominate the summer is to grind through the winter. Because here, the summer may be when legends are born – but now is when they’re built.”
