Caliroots and their sneaker store Six Feet Down have teamed up with Nike on a special project, which introduces for the first time, since they launched their denim, the Cali Chinos.
The Cali Concept Store has been remodeled over the past couple of weeks and is as of tomorrow the Six Feet Down store to launch this project with Nike. Matching some of the latest Dunks, Caliroots and Nike got together and made matching Chino pants in orange with black basketball embroidery and black with orange basketball embroidery. Orange is the Six Feet Down color and also the exact same color of these latest Dunks.
Of course Caliroots did not just make Chinos. They took a classic Ralph Lauren Chino and updated it with some nice features, including an elastic phone/iPod pocket with cord hook, lacing at the bottom to roll them up when biking or chilling in the summer and a Cali Durables logo tag in the back. In terms of fit they updated the classic Ralph Lauren chino and made it slightly less wide, especially at the bottom to ensure a good sneaker fit.
Tomorrow Caliroots will be launching the pack online and in store at 7pm European time, to celebrate the Six Feet Down relaunch at the Caliroots Concept Store (Regeringsgatan 77 in Stockholm). Each Chino will come with the matching Nike Dunks wrapped in a matching canvas bag, made especially for this event. The Chinos are limited to 50 pieces per colorway.

The year was 1994 and Airwalk had an instant hit with the “Jim” trio. In true irreverent skate fashion, the “Jim” styles poked fun at more traditional sports, with a hi-top made from goosepimpled basketball rubber, a fuzzy low style fashioned from tennis-ball fabric, and a golf-inspired style (not pictured) with a dimpled toe. Though these styles have been relegated to the archives, there are still some pairs in existence, that Airwalk has released now. Look out for them and worst case scenario, you will have to look on eBay.

Adidas teamed up with jewelry designer Gabriel Urist to design a shoe to be worn by all players at the Celebrity All Star Game. They worked on the TS Pro Model, where the designer added his signature and lots of other small details both on the upper and on the inner sole.
