Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique x New Era Fitted
 Though the city of Detroit has been home to one of the best NBA teams of this decade, it is often left out of the conversation when it comes to sneakers. Detroit is home to the well respected boutique Burn Rubber who has just released a New Era fitted featuring their shop’s logo. When it came to selecting colors for the fitted how could they pass on using hometown football team’s colors to honor the Lions for not finishing dead last in their division this past season.
The fitted dropped this past weekend but a few are left from the original limited run of 40 pieces. Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique |

| Editor of The Shoe Game, Gerard aka G-Roc, has created a set of custom lace tags to dress up your favorite neck breakers.
Believe it or not kids, there was a time when people who considered themselves sneakerheads WORE their shoes. Besides the enjoyment of wearing your favorite pair, breaking necks was an enjoyable thing to do when wearing them in public places. G-Roc wanted to take things back to the way they used to be by celebrating a sneakerhead’s past time. These lace tags were cooked up in Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, and Gun Metal. All are available now at The Shoe Game. |

Starks “Tribe Cement” Laces
| Starks Laces has just updated their site with yet another exclusive. In the early days of sneakers, making your own exclusive or dressing up a pair you had was to change out the laces. While the fat laces are still a must have for kicks like the Superstars or Clydes, its not a a good look in some Jordans or Forces.
Starks makes standard shape laces in unique and custom patterns. This set of the “Tribe Concrete” takes cues from the Tribe Called Quest and hooks well with the black Jordan Spizikes from last year. Check out all of the styles at StarksLaces.com. |
