For anyone with an interest in classic Nike footwear, it’s fairly obvious where the design inspiration came from for the latest SB shoe, the Veloce, came from. But what (or who) kick started the concept and how do you even pronounce Veloce anyway? Sneaker Freaker caught up with SB designer James Arizumi to get the low down.
He also talks about the SB Pro Model series, including the ideas behind Janowski’s shoe and a teasing mention of a forthcoming offering from Omar Salazar.

The article is based on interviews with the people who actually wore the shoes, experiencing the evolution: Aussie skater Tony Hallam, film maker Bruce Walker, legedary Z-Boy Stacey Peralta, photographer Jim Goodrich and Steve Alba. All the major bands that went on to shape the industry get a mention, with several shining references to the Nike Blazer.

After the teaser pics posted on the DQM product blog, Sneaker Freaker has revealed an exclusive picture of the DQM collaboration Blazer. The shoe also adorns the cover of the latest issue of the Sneaker Freaker mag, available now with a free poster.
No big pics of the other colourway have surfaced yet, save for those of Jay-Z rocking them.
And no, before you ask, no word on the release date yet but they will be a tier zero release.
