Last month we previewed the Nike SB Blazer Mid Canvas designed by Huf in a style inspired by the Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor.
If you have not been keeping track the sneakers are set to release tomorrow Saturday the 7th of November 2009. If you are not in Los Angeles or San Francisco, you are out of luck because they will be exclusively available at Huf LA and Huf SF.
We will keep you posted if the sneakers see an eventual wider regional distribution.
Last month we got a look at the Nike SB Blazer “Converse Chuck Taylor”, constructed in canvas in a style guided by the iconic “Chucks”. Initially when word broke that the sneakers had been created, it was assumed that they were samples never destined to release.
As it turns out the sneakers will release in both black and cream colorways. The kicks were created in collaboration with San Francisco based sneaker shop Huf. The sneakers are co-branded, with Nike on the tongue, heel tab, and heel while Huf can be seen on the heel tab label.
Two interesting Converse Chuck Taylor touches are the metal eyelets and logo on the heel of the midsole.
Huf also created some apparel, which will release with the kicks including caps, t-shirts and a jacket.
The collection is scheduled to release on the 7th of November 2009 exclusively at Huf Los Angeles and the two Huf locations in San Francisco.
San Francisco based sneaker shop Huf has hooked up with Vans on a three pack of Old Skools.

The kicks are scheduled to go on sale on the 17th of October 2009 exclusively at Huf Shops in San Francisco and Los Angeles based shops.

Back in 2007 the Nike Air Max 90 “Hufquake” released. The kicks came in a nice blue and grey colorway with a distinctive cracked design.
The Hufquake design is back this year. It is now featured on the Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache in a similar blue and grey colorway though this time with more use of black.
The Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache takes the Nike Air Max 90 Current with its Nike Free sole and adds some Huarche detailing. The Huarche details can be seen on the heel, toe box, and tongue.
The kicks are scheduled to release in the UK at the start of October. You will be able to find them then at End.
