Based on Han Solo’s character from Star Wars, the leadoff sneaker from 2010 Fall Star Wars collection is the SL72, executed in carbonite-like leather upper with garment details.

Along with the immaculate details adidas put into this shoe, it also comes with a unique left shoe shell, made of chrome-like plastic for displays purposes (the cover is only for the left shoe).

Now available in our Georgetown Showroom, and MAJOR Online Shopping Channel.

When an iconic sneaker comes back out to a glorious retro launch, there’s nothing better than paying tribute to that icon with a classic New Era fitted that brings out the best in that iconic design.  So when we found out that the Air Max 90 Infrared was getting ready for its return this summer, we went to the drawing table to make that iconic fitted that perfectly defines our respect for its contribution to our style & culture.

Just like the Air Max 90, we bring you a classic, clean grey & black wool fitted, with Infrared Trinity (w/ black outline), and NE flag.  Everyone loves a simple clean fitted right?

But, we felt that it won’t be a true tribute to the classic, without us taking a part of the Air Max 90 DNA and putting our own spin to it on the back!

We took the rear lateral quarter design that’s unique to AM90, and produced the MAJOR version of it for the back embroidery on the fitted.  A recognizable reminder of the classic icon from the illustrious history of our sneaker culture.

This fitted is available in our Georgetown Showroom, as well as the MAJOR Online Shopping Channel (http://store.majordc.com)

So don’t get left behind on this classic, as it’s already flying off the shelves (those that follow us on Twitter got the news early).  And don’t forget to pick up the Infrared 90s in Adults to Toddler sizes to put the whole family in one of the most classic kicks of our time!

Another limited edition G-Shock collab from our boys in Hawaii.  In4mation brings you The Glide 6900 in battleship grey, complete with “Hang Loose” shakas hand gesture proudly displayed during the illumination on this special collab piece!

Designed to reflect the laid back & water sports rich lifestyle of Hawaii, this collab is sure to be one of the most coveted G-Shock watches out.  After 3 great 5600 Glide collab styles, In4mation boys have decided to go with this popular 6900 model, which sports a bigger bezel and more prominent function controls.  And not to leave you out there with nothing to match, In4mation also brought out these 2 logo t-shirts, perfectly made to compliment this watch.

For this special holiday weekend in DC, the crew at MAJOR has decided to launch a very special rendition of one of our most popular designs ever.  Last year, when we released the original NeverMinor 59Fifty, the response was simply amazing.

The old school style front embroidery, executed in Glow-In-The-Dark White, along with the Trinity back embroidery in black & white makes this a must have for this summer.

Available on July 2nd, at both the showroom & the MAJOR Online Shopping Channel.

Arriving now at MAJOR, it’s the highly anticipated follow up to the collaboration between Converse and Takahiro Miyashita’s Number (N)ine label.

Converse worked closely with Takahiro to create his interpretations of the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes, which Takahiro considers “authentic and permanent”. Taking a hybrid approach, Takahiro chose to incorporate the asymmetrical lacing of the 1970 and ‘80s era Converse Odessa shoe into his design. The Odessa shoe, which was originally designed for running, was super innovative for its time and a shoe from the Converse archives that Takahiro has long admired.

The collection includes an oxford version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with premium deer skin, black shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a metallic black star on the shoe’s heel. A One Star version is also available in premium deer skin black shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a black metallic star on the shoe’s heel.

This is an extremely limited (less than 300 pairs for the US) Converse release.

One Star 74 Asymmetrical OX Number (N)ine:

US Men’s Whole Sizes 7 through 12 only.  Also available soon online at http://store.majordc.com.

Our latest New Era fitted is a tribute to one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports.  Some choose to call them the Evil Empire, while others call them “The Most Storied Franchise in Sports.”  The new fitted is based on the classic authentic on-field New York Yankees fitted.  And just like the authentic on-field cap, our fitted is made of classic navy performance fabric, complete with black undervisor, featuring large white Trinity embroidery on the front and the new 3 Star Box logo on the back. A navy tonal New Era flag finished out this fitted, but that is not all.
