Sneakerness 10th October, Vienna/Austria | Nike Update

As you might already know the Sneakerness convention is coming to Vienna/Austria (Europe) this saturday, October 10th (we have covered this earlier). And since the countdown is ticking down the last days faster and faster you can feel the excitement already here in Vienna.

Today we got some additional information from Nike about what we can expect to be presented at the convention from them:
The main focus is on the classic Tinker Hatfield Nike Air Max 1, which celebrates it's 20th anniversary this year.
Therefore the a never released Air Max 1 designed by Netherlands own infamous streetart stylist and sneakerhead Parra will be presented. Also pictures and the stories of Parra and the Air Max 1 will be exhibited.

Besides Parra, famous viennese residents like DJ Buzz (Waxolutionists), DJ Beware and Florian Horwath will share insight on how the classic sneaker had impact on their lifes.

Visitors can check into the NikeID lab at the spot and design their own personal sneaker.
In order to represent Vienna Nikes exibition booth will be designed by El Lasso, from Inoperable.

We see you there, at the Sneakerness!

Burgundy is without a doubt a decent color to be used for fall season. Maybe that is the reason not only the new Terry Kennedy Skytops come in burgundy...

The Supra Vaider Burgundy features burgundy suede and perforated patent leather on the upper. White midsole with also burgundy lining forms the contrasting base of the shoe.
Worth the mention are definitley the waxed burgundy laces.

Available at select Supra accounts like factory413.

New Balance MT576S Bamboo Rake | NB x Frat x Mita

New Balance MT576S Bamboo Rake | NB x Frat x Mita

The New Balance MT576S combines best of both worlds - the 576 upper and MT580 sole.

To some of you, the Frat x Mita collaborational sneaker seems to nothing new. Indeed the MT576S Bamboo Rake was already released back in April this year.

But this time slight changes to the sneakers "outfit" were made. The April release Bamboo Rake had a multicolored graphics tongue, while the actual release comes with straight black/white Skull and Bone graphics.

Also on the upper we find slight differences: The first release had a white glow in dark upper. Now the shoes come in white bamboo structured synthetics and grey nubuck. At the back you will find rope graphics on a darker shade of grey colored leather.
The sock liner is colored violet. With the yellow inner sole plus the splatter at the midsole some additional pop was added.

They are now available at MITA and FLAUGE.

Detailed images after the jump!

Nike Air Force 1 07 Low "Raiders" | Black/Metallic Silver

Although this Nike Air Force 1's official name does not include the Raiders hint it was just too obvious that they reflect the Oaklands NFL Teams colorway.
Just in time for the early NFL season they have released.

With a black leather upper and metallic silver toebox, sidepanel and tongue these are not only perfect for Raiders fans. Since metallic accents are still in-fashion the sneakers could well draw your eyes attention.

Available now at select Nike accounts including Caliroots.

Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Auction Closed

We assume you have already heard about the Nike Air Yeezy Charity Auctions for the Doernbecher Kids Hospital that took place on ebay over the past two weeks.

Yesterday the auctions were closed and the good news is that a lot of money changed posession for the sneakers. To be precise:
The Nike Air Yeezy Grammy 2008 was sold for the ridiculous amount of $16.500.
The Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI (6) sole got as high as $7.400.

That makes a total of $23.900 for the Doernbecher Hospital.

At the moment no information on who won the auction is available.
