Adidas = Pharrell Williams



He wore custom Adidas Instinct Highs to the Oscars, custom Stan Smiths on the regular and has been seen wearing track suits like nobody's business. Something had to be brewing right?

Well for those who were attentive, you were right! Adidas has announced a partnership with Pharrell Williams. Adidas mentions that the first adidas Originals x Pharrell products will debut in the summer of 2014.

He will be in great company, most notably Kanye West who just made the move over from Nike, Rita Orta, and Nigo among others. Adidas sure is making things happen. What do you think of the move?

The color this Fall? Sport Blue

This news has been blowing peoples minds. JB has decided to inform us about how big the month of August will be, and how painful it may be on our pockets. 'Sport Blue' is the color for the Fall, as the Air Jordan 6, the 3, and the 14 will all be rocking the color. 

In a very surprising move, one of the most anticipated retro releases comes to us this Fall. The Air Jordan 6 Sport Blue.



Last released in 1991, this pair features white leather construction with sport blue hints on the lace lock, pull tab trim, midsole and outole logo, matched with black on the tongue, inner liner and pull tab. This pair is set to drop Saturday, August 30th for $170.

Next up, the Air Jordan 14 Sport Blue.


Sporting a wolf grey upper with subtle sport blue hints around the shoe while dark grey and white decorate the outsole. Grab these Saturday, August 2 for $170. 

Last but certainly not least, the Air Jordan 3 gets the sport blue treatment. 


A twist of sorts to the Black Cement 3 we all know and love, shades of sport blue adorn the logos, inner lining, outsole, midsole & eyelets. These can be in your hands on Saturday, August 16th for $170. 

Commence saving people. 

Happy Air Max Day!

Along with making sure you sport your favorite Air Max's today (and tagging #VNDS23), Nike is going to be dropping some Air Max's to add to your collection. All of these, immediately turning into instant classics.

As mentioned in one of our previous posts, and most notably, the 3.26 "Air Max Day" Air Max 1:



Also dropping today, the Air Max 90 Jacquard "Infrared": 



It's hard to go wrong with the Infrared Air Max 90, and when you add the woven textiled upper and the free forefoot, it makes it that much more special.

So about this RESTOCK

VNDS23.com was created by Rob Cruz and Joey S. We were tired of the traditional websites, posting one shoe here and there and we decided to come up with the much loved RESTOCK. We figured why not post a good amount of kicks at one time and let everyone go in on them instead of the classic "post 2-3 pairs a day" motto.

More importantly VNDS23.com was created to give back to the clients. As fellow "sneakerheads" we were tired of paying rape for kicks on a regular basis...we figured why not put in the work and let our clients benefit from the pricing...the sneaker culture has done so much for us, it's time we pay it back, and that's exactly what we're doing.

For all of our loyal clients...THANK YOU! You guys know that we make sure you get the best prices, the best service, and we literally break night to ensure that your kicks go out in time....with that being said much love!

To our new clients, give us a chance and honestly start rocking with the best. 

Stay tuned for a bit more insight on Rob Cruz, Joey S., Big A and all of TEAM VNDS23!!

Changing the game...

Team VNDS23 has been customizing and creating masterpieces for over 15 years now.  Inspired from the late 90's trends of air force's and timberlands being covered in all sorts of high end leather and fashionable material, we've had this game in a firm grip for a LONGGG time.  More specifically, Big A from Team VNDS23, has mastered the art of turning ideas into realities.  Below are a few samples of his work, the galaxy roshe and the python covered roshe.  I want you to take a little bit of time and focus on picture #3, and the attention to detail in that one.  Offering some of the best craftsmanship, turn around time (usually less than 2 weeks from receiving your shoe), and prices, Big A and Team VNDS23 is taking this customizing game to new levels.  If interested in owing a piece of art and turning your idea into a reality, contact Big A @ 407-301-7406!!

Air Jordan 6 'Champagne Bottle' & 'Championship Cigar'

We know Michael Jordan is a champion. As fans of the game of basketball, those images of him celebrating his many championships are engraved in our minds. 

Source: Multineer
Now, as sneaker fanatics, we get to relive those moments as JB is set to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the Jordan 6 by dropping some heavy stuff on us. There was a lot of speculation in January and now, on foot pictures have surfaced of, what may be a pack of celebratory Jordan 6's. Notably missing, the championship ring inspired lace lock on the cigar version (possibly because @Kixdreams prefers them sans lace locks), but other than that, 2 very clean looks.

Are you grabbing a pair when they're confirmed?

FEIT Bio Trainer Black Suede

Let's step away from the every day sneaker. The brand FEIT is known for it's premium handmade boots and footwear, but recently decided to branch out into a new venture as it unveiled its first ‘sport’ shoe dubbed the Bio Trainer. Although this shoe was not meant for performance, the Bio Trainer does feature a soft, cushioned natural rubber sole. Soft and flexible yet sturdy enough to stand up to daily wear, and each sole unit takes over a week to make! The Bio Trainer is 100% hand made and put together with a suede upper made from a single piece of hide and is completed with a thick leather heel counter and buffalo leather insole. The trainer also comes in white, for those more inclined to a lighter color choice. Interested in a pair? Check out FEIT’s online store now to grab a pair.
