Sneakerfiles has the first-ever, exclusive insight on a particular store, once thought to be just a rumor, and now the most talked about secretive spot in Chicago. The concept of “members having their privileges” is defined at last, as Aficionado has brought something unheard of to the table; something that dedicated Sneakerheads have been longing for. Though not open to the public, Aficionado has completely revolutionized the true meaning of customer appreciation. Though Sneakerfiles cannot give you a detailed description of Aficionado’s nature, it’s definitely more than just a store. It’s an experience and possibly the most exclusive spot you could ever find that caters to the Sneakerhead.

This past weekend X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit theaters, and was a huge success. To add on to the excitement, Nike releases a X-Men Pack which consists of a Nike Big Nike and a Nike Air Max 95. The Big Nike is modeled after Wolverine’s classic costume, consisting of yellow, black, blue, and red. On the side paneling, heel and tongue, you can see slash designs to symbolize Wolverine’s claws doing some damage. The Air Maxes are designed after Wolverine’s brother, the evil Sabretooth. The colorway matches perfectly, and there’s even a little fur by the tongue. Sneaker Politics has these in stock, so be sure to get the Big Nikes ($100) and the Air Maxes ($160) while they last.

The MT576S is one of New Balance’s hybrid models, and this time around gets worked on in a collabo with mita sneakers and Japanese hip-hop group ASTRO. The upper consists of black suede, premium leather, and nubuck. For some extreme style, the sneakers are accented well by the gold foil toebox and gold eyelets. The ROLLBAR technology that is used in most New Balance models is seen here, so you should already expect some serious comfort. Saturday, May 23rd, this collaboration will be released exclusively at mita sneakers.
