Heads up fruit-booters……

The lovely folks over at Nike SB certainly aren’t slowing down their collaborations for 2013! They have teamed up with the ‘Skate Mental’ for an unique take on the Dunk Hi LR.

The entirely white upper is complete with inline skate graphics (no particular brand, just a standard UFS frame). The midsole has the wheels emblazoned on either side and the heel gets a dab of embossing with the Skate Mental brand name. Even the strap resembles a rollerblade strap!

Check out some more detailed images below! A definite pick up for any rollerblader to have on their wall.

Will you be picking up these Dunk LR’s? They are set to arrive this month in select stockists worldwide. Let us know what you think! tag us into your pics if you cop these #bigeyeslittlesoles

Peace & Love from a fellow rollerblader!

Jordan Spiz’ike Black/University Gold

Posted on by

So tomorrow (8th December) see’s the release of the Jordan Spiz’ike in a fresh colourway, Black/University Gold (which will also be a GS release so good news for little feet)!

The shoe carries a smooth black suede base with patent leather cement elements around the toe and on the side of the heel. University gold highlights the eyelets, Jumpman logo and the gold stitching to really make them POP!

Sleek and sophisticated. That’s my anatomy of these Spiz’ikes.

Most of us are very familiar with the inspiration behind the Spiz’ike, but for those who need enlightening…. the Jordan Spiz’ike shoe is inspired by Director Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon commercials for Nike in the 90′s. The Spiz’ike combines a few  iconic elements of the Jordan III, IV, V, VI and XX to make this beauty.

Seein as it’s my birthday tomorrow, I can’t think of a better release to bless my day with :)

They will be available directly from Nike.com from the 8th of December (tomorrow!) so go check it and cop yourself a pair of black magic!

Follow @BigEyesLilSoles on Twitter for more info and updates on up and coming releases! Also if you manage to cop a pair of these, be sure to tweet us a pic or tag us on instagram @bigeyeslittlesoles!

Release Reminder – Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low

OOSH! Look at these beauties – these are definitely ones for the true sneakerheads!

To celebrate 10 years since Supreme’s first collaboration with Nike SB, the dynamic duo have teamed up again to bring you these babies. Inspired by all things Nike and all things FRE$H, these Nike SB Dunk Lows represent Supreme to the fullest as well as paying homage to this heavenly collaboration.

The ‘Supreme X Nike SB Dunk Low’ comes to us presented in the classic BRED (black and red for those of you who arn’t familiar with the term, and if you’re not, slap yourself now!) with the ever so popular elephant print, inspired by the Jordan III’s. If you copped the 2 other pairs of Supreme x Nike Dunk Lows, you’ll know that they are considered one of the best SB’s of all time, but I think these are probably going to tip the scale.

Available from Supreme’s stores in London, New York & Los Angeles as well as the on-line store TODAY (or 21st for all our visitors reading from Japan)!

These are going to be hot hot hot to get hold of, so if anyone gets a cop, be sure to tweet to @BigEyesLilSoles and instagram tag #bigeyeslittlesoles so we can see em’!

Word em’ uP!

New Nike x Liberty Release

Posted on by

I’m definitely a sucker for a sneaker which features a new print.. The Lotus Jazz Liberty print on these releases is no exception.. I’m drooling over them right now!

With a mixture of every day sneakers and running shoes, this Liberty x Nike collab with it’s lotus jazz print and little neon additions is my favourite yet. The Air Max 1, Free Run+2 and Vintage Blazer Mid Rise are my favourite pairs but the others are just as nice and what makes them all the more appealing is that they’re a WOMEN’S release, perfect for us smaller footed sneaker fiends.
 The suede on the AM1 in that deep blue/grey adds just the right texture to this nearly all over print shoe, to stop it being garish and keep it just toned down enough to not make your feet look too loud!
 I love a black Nike Free Run and the little touches of the Liberty print and neon heel tab and  and tongue branding make me want to buy a pair and go running all over London!
 On the Lunar Glide+4, the neon Lunarlon midsole makes this shoe for me. All this neon is making me want to pull out my OG AM95s from their box in my shoe tower!
 The block colour on the Lunar Montreal makes this sleek silhouette stand out for miles, making any runners feet smile!
 Last but not least, the vintage Blazer. As much as I’m not a huge fan of the vintage Blazers, this colourway is so different from anything I’ve seen before, I could possibly put my issues with the build of the shoe aside and get myself a pair.

I thought I’d only blog the sneakers from this release that I’m actually a big fan of, there is a pair of Dunk Skinny Hi’s and Air Force 1s that you can get your hands on as well.

As a HUGE addition to these amazing kicks ready for you to cop, you can go instore at Liberty London and get yourself a Destroyer jacket to match your shoes!

Get yours here.

If you get yourself anything from within this release, be sure to Tweet, Instagram or Facebook us the pics and add the #bigeyeslittlesoles as well!

AM90 London

JD Sports are back with another exclusive Nike release.. this time, paying homage to my home city, the place I love more than (most) other cities in the world… LONDON (for the Olympics)!

Nike Air Max 90 ‘London’

With a similar upper to the well loved ‘Infrared’ Air Max 90, only with a slightly deeper red, this release running from a UK6 up (which sucks for the smaller footed sneaker fiend like me) is made into something ridiculously special by the see through sole.. This isn’t just any see through sole, underneath it, is a map of the London underground. I’m literally drooling over this release and sitting here feeling seriously gutted I won’t be able to pick up a pair.

If you get yourself a pair from JD Sports, send us a pic to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

MARS…. Make Way For Gentry

Gentry Humphrey was spotted wearing a new, exclusive Air Jordan IV Retro colour-way this weekend at the Quai 54 Streetball Tournament in Pairs…. but what are they I hear you ask?

Well, they appear to be a pair of Air Jordan IV Retro’s which have been designed exclusively for Mr Humphrey himself! Gentry’s Jordan 4 features a colour-way that looks alot like the Air Jordan Retro 7′s ‘Year of the Rabbit’ rockin’ the white upper with red and gold accents (freshhhhh).

You’ll also notice that the ankle features an illustration of Gentry as “G-Money”, similar to the MARS Blackmon logo as seen in 2006 on the Air Jordan IV Retro Mars Blackmon…….move over MARS, G-Money is in the house!

Shout outs to DCS for the pics! Go check his full album of the Quai 54 International Streetball Tournament, some sick shots, I wish I was there!

Keep it Big Eyes!

Gold O’clock…

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I bloody love gold (or should I say plated gold), so this news is great for me, although the price tag isn’t.

This year Adidas are celebrating 40 years of the classic three leafed logo, the trefoil. To commemorate this milestone in Adidas history and a golden era for many b-boys & b-girls and hip-hoppers from all elements, they have made this stunning blingin’ gold watch (which isn’t real 24ct gold by the way).  Each watch is uniquely numbered and comes packaged in a sleek, originals acrylic box. Only 500 of these babies have been made, hence the numbering system so you can feel extra special for around $599 ;)

So set your alarms to Saturday June 16th when the Adidas Originals 40th anniversary trefoil watch becomes available worldwide, but be warned, this is going to be a hot item to get hold of and only a handful have been allocated to Adidas Original stores (click the link to find your nearest store).

Check out the video below from when Adidas teamed up with Streetfest in London earlier this year…. ’Building a Community of Collective Creativity’.

Peace & Riz!

Lemon’s Latest Pickups…

Been feeling a bit secluded so I thought I’d treat myself to a bit of retail therapy (you know it works wonders)!

First off I got the Air Jordan I Phats Black/Siren Red.

You all know I’m a Jordan freak, so for me these are a modern twist on a Jordan classic! Not too far away from its OG Daddy the Air Jordan I black/red (BRED) which has a massive history in the basketball and sneaker game.

Secondly I managed to finally get me some Nike x Liberty Sky Hi Dunks!

I missed the AM1 hype on release day and due to being skint I was unable to get me a pair but I have settled for it’s slightly more feminine cousin with concealed wedge. These do look a bit odd at first glance I’ll admit, however don’t judge a book buy it’s cover! These babies are soooooo god damn comfortable, you cant even tell there’s a wedge in there(coming from a girl who cant walk in heels)! These are defiantly going to come in handy for the slightly more…. dressed events. I know I’m going to be too scared to wear them though!

Have you copped anything recently? Let us know via Twitter @bigeyeslilsoles or tag your instagram photos #bigeyeslittlesoles /@bigeyeslittlesoles!

Peace & Love little soles! Hope you’re all enjoying this lovely weather!

Air Jordan IV ‘Cavalier’ Drop This Saturday!

Posted on by
Reply

So, after much deliberation over the nickname, we can finally reveal the Air Jordan IV ‘Cavalier’ (or ‘CAVS’ for short) are going to be hitting shelves this Saturday 12th May!

For those wondering why the ‘Cavalier’ nickname, it is a tribute to Mike’s infamous shot (otherwise known as ‘The Shot‘) in the 1989 Eastern Confernce First Round which propelled the Chicago Bulls to the second round of the playoffs.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers’s kit is now more renowned for it’s modern burgundy/gold colour-way, these sneakers play a true homage to the old school white/blue kit from 1989.

Personally I’m really diggin’ the orange accents on these and as most of you Knicks fans know, blue and orange on a pair of Jordans….you can’t go wrong! If you’ve seen any of my previous Jordan posts, you know I could baffle on all day about the Jordan IV silhouette, so you know I have a loving opinion for these babies.

Available this Saturday (12th May) from limited Jordan retailers. I know that the only Footlocker in the UK getting GS sizes is Oxford Street London/House of Hoops, all other sizes available from limited Footlockers across the UK. Make sure you go and reserve yours as not all stores will receive them, and if they do expect limited numbers!

Peace & L<3ve!
