DeFY. New York-Sneakers,Music,Fashion,Life.

The much anticipated 10th shoe of the Lebron James sig series in the away color has begun to make its way to retailers. As you probably already know, the Lebron X features Hyperfuse and Flywire material for the upper combined with Zoom Air cushioning for one hell of a shoe. Now available via AFEW

The Reebok BB line is by far one of their most famous. Released in the 80′s, the hightop version was the quintessential 80′s sneaker. As time went on Reebok ditched the larger font, bright British flag and suede accents for a more toned down look (I know the shoe was toned down to begin with). Anyhow, lets hope that Reebok decides to bring back this shoe in its original state, for now check out pictures above from the DeFY. New York photo vault.

Last week we took a look at Bill Clinton and this week we take a look at the 39th president of the United States Jimmy Carter. Which one has the better shoe game so far? Check out the fliks below and decide!

In all fairness this shoe had to compete with the likes of the Air Max 95, and while the Air Max 95 may not have been the better performance shoe it definitely looked better. Still, the Mizuno Mondo running shoe looks great and Mizuno rarely disappoints with regards to quality and performance. Check out both the men’s and women’s version above!

In the early 90′s it didn’t matter what part of the country you were at, Karl Kani was hot in the streets. Check out Houston’s own sporting Kani.

Airwalk might have been flying under your radar for some time, but if you haven’t already NOW is the time to start paying attention. Earlier this year they brought back the legendary Airwalk ONE (a staple in the mid 90′s skate scene). Since the limited drop sold out they teamed up with Already Famous creative director Mitchell Ware for another limited run of the ONE in a special make up. The Already Famous version of the ONE coined ‘the Batmobile’ is available now (online only) via AIRWALK.

In 1989, Charlie Samuels snapped a photo of the legendary Harold Hunter skitching a yellow cab in lower Manhattan with the Twin Towers in the back drop. The photo (originally featured in THRASHER) was what some like to call ‘lightning in a bottle’. Well, Charlie Samules has teamed up with Airwalk for a special t shirt featuring that legendary flik and all proceeds from the sale of the shirt are going to the Harold Hunter Foundation. Switch up from your typical naked girl on a t shirt t shirt while supporting a good cause and go scoop this tee. Now available via AIRWALK.

A Tommy Hilfiger Jacket and some Camo pants? No problem. Whether you identified with the Hip Hop scene or Ska Punk or anything in between it didn’t matter, Hilfiger crossed all scenes. Take a trip back to 96/97 and check out Gwen Stefani sporting the legendary brand.

We here at DeFY. New York were directly impacted by Super Storm Sandy (as were millions of others) so we would like to present you a shoe for a good cause. Sneaker Pimps is holding a benefit auction on eBay with all the proceeds going to the Red Cross in the winning bidders name. The shoe for auction is an unreleased Sneaker Pimps NYC Hyperposite in the color of the Statue of Liberty. Only 60 pairs were made and you can bid on them now. Via EBAY.
