Year Of The Rat Hybrids





Every year, Nike creates shoes dedicated to the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese Calendar, February 7, 2008 is Chinese New Year and this year is the Year of the Rat.
Here’s the latest shoe from Nike depicting the Rat theme - the Wildwood 90 Free Trail. This sneaker is a hybrid of the Wildwood, Air Max 90 and Free Trail and comes in two colorways.
Both colorways feature a laser printed leather upper. The white colorway has white “rat fur, while the grey version is made with suede. The Chinese symbol for the word “rat” is printed in red on each shoe. These shoes are available right now at the South Street location and retail for $120. As always we ship for free. There are limited sizes available so don't sleep.

New Old Skool



Van Old Skool shoes in two new colors; Dove (grey) and Port (Burgundy). The one in port is actually wool instead of the usual canvas for this style. Hot!

Iron Maiden Vans


Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris penned the classic song "The Trooper" in 1983 for the group's album "Piece of Mind."

These are available at all Benjamin Lovell locations and retail for $69 (Sk8) and $55 (slip-on). Grab them while they're still around.

Nike Air Max 90 Voltage Green


This Air Max 90 is a Quickstrike. The black/voltage green colorway is comprised almost entirely of black leather with sparse neon green contrast stitching on the mudguard and the sole. Currently available at the South Street & Baltimore locations for $135

Nike Blazers







The top two blazers are women's. The first is the Zebra Blazer Mid Premium. The second has a patchwork patern that covers the entire sneaker (I wish they made these in men's sizes). The last sneaker is a men's black leather Blazer with a textured black Swoosh with colorful paint splatters and peace signs throughout.

Quilted Wallabee


Here are some Wallabees in a quilted nylon. They come in grey with orange stitching and navy blue with white stitching. They can be found at our South Street and Baltimore Locations and retail for $145.

Futura Wallabee


Its not the first time you would have seen these, the first colab from Futura laboratories with Clarks earlier this year included a subtle contrasting brown and black wallabee, then a recent exhibition saw Futura customise wallabees with his signature Atom logo now available in select sizes at Benjamin Lovell Shoes on South Street. There were only 500 pairs made so grab them while they are still around. They retail for $165 dollar.
