The Return of the '90s Nike

Nike's Air Structure Triax '91 is being re-released this year in some wild and crazy color ways.  The sneakers which will retail for $108 USD will feature a suede, mesh, patent leather and leather upper, and a very well-received silhouette.  This pair has hints of an infared orange and hints of hot pink from the tongue to the outer sole.  Yet with all the new detailing, the comfort of this running shoe remains the same it's been since '91. Go Nike !

In the latter part of '09, we watched a trend begin to emerge that is yet to come into fruition.  Varsity Jackets are slowly but surely gaining popularity and can be seen on everyone from high school student-athletes to celebrities like Kanye, Drake and Wale.  They are coming in an assortment of colorways, textiles and textures -- and go from high-end to low-end in price points, depending on the brand (of course).

A Spring and Summer of Studs

Engin Spikes (pure lust)

Best known for his red bottoms, Christian Louboutin, has debuted his Spring/Summer 2010 collection and they are ALL studded out! The women and men's collections both feature silver pyramid-studded details, especially the men's single style Louis sneaker! The men's shoe is available in black or white leather, and the sneakers will retail for $1200 USD. There are options for you guys, if you feel like the Louis sneaker may be too street for you, the Freddy Flat is calling your name!

Louboutin's women's shoes vary in detail going from studded toe caps (Siouxsie Flat) and heels that fall somewhere in between (Engin Spikes) and shoes fully-covered in studs (Big Kiss Flat). Everyone should have at least 1 pair of Christian Louboutin's on deck --- but you NEVER stop at just one.

Rated R

Rih put herself back on the map with this one.

Rihanna's highly anticipated new album Rated R is set to be released this Tuesday (Nov. 24th) -- FiNALLY! Most of the album has already been leaked - but with singles "Russian Roulette" and "Hard" feat. Young Jeezy - it's a certified banger! Just like the artist herself! Not only is she a hit on the Billboard charts, the 21-year old is a style icon, and a bad b*tch for real. Take a look at her album artwork. Even I have to say, daaaaamn Rih Rih!!

Got Her Swag Back ---

Absolutely stunning !!
