Titolo x Reebok Pump 25th Anniversary
Following a line of recent collaborations with an assortment of esteemed stores and labels alike,Reebok has chosen Swiss retailer Titolo for its latest joint venture in celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Pump Technology. The ongoing silhouette of choice for this special project is the iconic Pump where the concept in design reflects the retailer’s affinity for late ’80s and early ’90s basketball shoes. Thus, we find a premium white leather upper with bright accents of turquoise and orange, tastefully implemented without over saturating the sneaker. This is paired with a matching white midsole and outsole that features hits of bright orange, turquoise and grey. Finishing touches include Titolo branding screenprinted on the heel as well as stitched branding on the padded mesh tongue to round out this timeless and classic shoe. The Titolo x ReebokPump 25th Anniversary model will be available at Titolo and Reebok Certified Networkstockists on October 18. via Hypebeast.com
iPad Foosball Table
Well-noted that the iPad is more than capable for game-playing, yet often users are confined to solitary or online engagement. Adding a more physical aspect to an already physical and social game, here we find the iPad Foosball Table. The table connects to iPads via the 30-pin connector at the bottom, allowing control of the four handles at each side. Scorekeepers for both teams are included at the top, as well as rubber legs to give an authentic presence to the piece. The accompanying app takes advantage of the iPad’s graphic capabilities, with both the fields and players fully customizable. Pick up the iPad Foosball Table over here for $100 USD. via Hypebeast.com

Reebok Shaq Attaq IV - White/Red/Blue
The Reebok Shaq Attaq 4 didn’t have the history of more infamous early career Shaq releases like the Shaqnosis, but the vector brand still thought it worthy of a retro, and why not? With shoes like the Insta Pump Fury carving out its niche in an anniversary year, Reebokhas decided to bring another Pump-donning sneaker back, and this time around the technology is still functional as past releases have included a manual hand pump to help you decide how much cushion you want in your ankle support. Shaq played on seven teams throughout his illustrious career, but we’re guessing this White/Royal/Red pair isn’t a Cavs reference as much as it is a nod at his expected yearly All-Star game appearances. What do you think? We’re still waiting on a release date, but in the meantime check out more images after the break. via SneakerNews.com

Star Wars x Vans "Dark Side" Holiday Collection
As if the first Star Wars x Vans Collection wasn’t enough for you, we are now getting another dope release from the duo. This time, however, Vans is taking a walk on the dark side. The holiday collection introduces new designs that are inspired by villains from the original trilogy and extends though some of our favorite silhouettes to men’s apparel and accessories.
Kicking off the Star Wars x Vans “Dark Side” holiday collection is the Vans Era, which features an interesting design aesthetic that blends a Black and White camo print and images of Imperial Stormtroopers. The blended print had a limited run in the Vans Vault collection and now it’s back with a few adjustments, replacing the original skull and sword graphic by images of Darth Vader, Stormtrooper helmets and lightsabers.
The Vans Slip-On model is also highlighted in the collection, as it is seen working a sinister and stealthy, all-Black motif. The blacked out color scheme serves as a base to reveal a portrait of the Sith Lord himself in a subtle but unique way. Lastly, Vans turns to the trusted Vans Authentic for a display of good versus evil. The sneaker is decked out in images from life on ice plant Hoth.
Even the tots will be able to rock these kicks, but Vans throws in an extra treat. The kids and toddlers will receive an additional colorway that takes hold of the Vans Slip-On, to reveal a classic checkerboard design of Stormtrooper and Vader faces. The Star Wars x Vans “Dark Side” Holiday Collection is currently available at select Vans retailers, but hurry, because they might not be for long. via KicksonFire.com
Nike KD 7 “Good Apples” Release Saturday, October 4, 2014
This Nike KD 7 is probably the most sought out for colorways of the silhouette to date. The Nike KD 7 “Good Apples” is inspired by KD’s take on scoring, “I approach scoring like apple picking. Keep the good ones and leave the rotten ones.” Sporting a sort of Yeezy-like color scheme, it’s no question that this sneaker will be one of the more popular ones to come out of the Nike KD line.
The upper is predominantly all black giving the sneaker a sleek and subtle look. Action red worked into the KD and Nike branding along with the heel provide an excellent attention grabbing detail as medium mint finishes throughout compliment the whole look. Hitting retailers like Sneaker Politics October 4th, let us know if you plan on copping the Nike KD 7 “Good Apples.” via KicksonFire.com
Nike Air Command Force "Billy Hoyle" a.k.a. "Hot Limes" a.k.a. "OG Citron"
his release is for all of my 90′s people. White Men Can’t Jump the movie featured actors Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as basketball players who were streetball hustlers. Nobody ever believed that Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) could play basketball, so when Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) would pick him as his teammate everyone thought it would be an easy victory. Little did they know that they were being hustled. In the film Billy Hoyle rocked this exact pair of Air Command Forces, which is why they are nicknames the “Billy Hoyles”.
Aside from being names the Billy Hoyles, this pair of kicks has other various nicknames including the “Hot Limes”, “OG Citron” and a few others. The retro high-top Nike basketball shoe features a predominantly white leather upper with vibrant volt colored accents. Black also makes an appearance on the midsole, Swoosh and inner lining. Look for the Nike Air Command Force to drop at Nike retailers on October 18thfor a retail tag of $200. via KicksonFire.com
