Nike VT in India!

This was big! after all the emails I sent to them I finally see something happening. Last week I went into the Nike store at Khar Linking road and to my surprise I see the Nike Dunk VT on the shelf! 

To the ones who are unaware, VT stands for Vac-Tech and is currently used only on really premium Nike releases. Even in the US not all stores will carry the VT line of sneakers. This means that Nike is bringing the big guns here. 

The sneaker that I saw is not even available on the Nike online store yet so I'm guessing this colorway was an Asia exclusive release (or atleast to begin with). Honestly, I didn't like the colorway much when I saw it in person but I'm super excited! This only means good things are in store for all Nike lovers! I spoke to the guy in the store and he said they are expecting new stock in December - though he didn't know which exact colorways were expected, its still great news because with this launch we can atleast hope for Air Force VT's and other dunk silhouettes.

With Adidas upping the ante by bringing the Ransom x Adidas originals and Adidas Star Wars line - this was much needed by Nike. 

Alright you guys at Nike, bring in the heat!!

Nike - Vac-Tech Premium "Wheat" Pack

The Nike Vac-Tech (VT) series has gotten a lot of love by the sneaker community. The all white VT killed it for me. 


Following on the success of other VT avatars - Nike brough this "Wheat" pack Consisting of the Air Force 1 High, the Air Max 90 and the Dunk High, each pair makes use of a one piece Vac-Tech constructed upper, covered entirely in a wheat-like shade called haystack. Each pair works with a pair of classic boot laces, an off-white midsole and a gum sole below.


The Pack is expected to drop next month at select Nike Sportswear retailers in the US
