Jackal & Hyde Dunks – It Gets No Fresher…

jackal hyde nike dunks

Ok nerds, I know I have been slacking on the kicks and I apologize. After I came across these I decided I need to get it together because we’re missing out on some dopenessocity (I’m trying to coin a new term, be easy).  Royalefam and its creator, sneaker customizer SBTG (Mark Ong), prepare for the global launch of its newest collection for the Fall/Winter 2008 seasons. This collection will consist of cut and sewn pieces, graphics with ink and paint, denim, zipper strips, and rivets.

A total of 24 pairs will be made and available at Royalefam’s online shop on Sunday, October 26th.

Air Jordan 11

Air Jordan 11
Designer: Tinker Hatfield
Debut: 1995
The “Space Jams”, as they are known, hold a special place in many a sneaker freak’s heart, including my own. The answer to the question “What’s the big deal about the XI?” is a mere two words: patent leather. These were so sick, heads were rockin’ these to prom instead of those wack ass dress shoes.
