Sneak Trend

Nike seems to have a trend going with sneaks inspired by throwback movies. Some of you may remember my blog entry last month (Billy & Sidney) on the "White Men Can't Jump" shoe, well now all those "Anchorman" fans can get the SB Dunk Low "Will Ferrell" sneaker. The Nike shoe prompted by the "Ron Burgundy" character retails for $130.00, and can be purchased online at http://item.rakuten.co.jp/ltd-online/304292-672/

Billy & Sidney

Some of you may remember the 1992 film "White Men Can't Jump". It featured Woody Harrelson as Billy Hoyle & Wesley Snipes as Sidney Deane, and they portrayed hustling Venice Beach street ballers. Well, Nike has released sneakers in honor of the characters; the Nike Hyperize "Billy Hoyle" comes in a white, green, and blue color pattern, while the Nike Hyperize "Sidney Deane" comes in black, blue, and red. The long awaited shoes were released in Australia at Footlocker on July 18, 2009, but I'm sure resourceful Nike fans in places elsewhere will be turning to eBay to get their sneaker fix.

The "Don" is Here

At long last Kanye West's Louis Vuitton sneakers arrived today, but before you go running to your nearest LV boutique, you need to know they are also sold out. Eager shoppers had been on the waiting list since January, and the current waiting lists are full. If your life depends on a pair, you can sign up for a "wish list" in case some become available. Let H&HS know what you think, the "Mr. Hudson" costs $840, the "Jasper" is $990, and the "Don" goes for $870-$960. Were they worth the wait?
