By now, you probably already know about the crazy demand for the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy”. If you were one of the many that left the store disappointed last night, it appears that all hope is not lost. The craziness has made its way to eBay, and now there’s a ton of pairs available for purchase. They aren’t cheap, but at this point it’s basically the only way to cop a pair. Here’s a direct link to the listings.
We’ve seen a lot of hyped up Kobe VII colorways, but finally here’s a much more subtle release. It has a black base, decorated with Treasure Blue and White accents, and matching black laces. You’ll be able to get these in stores next month, March 1 to be exact.

Custom designer El Cappy has created yet another Air Jordan 6 custom, this time inspired by a pair of LeBrons. Using what looks to be the Detroit Pistons Air Jordan VI and applying design cues from the Nike LeBron 9 “Cannon”, this pair has received turquoise leather over black patent leather. Yellow and red accents and turquoise speckles complete the Cannon look. What do you think of these?

Here’s another look at one of my favorite LeBron 9 colorways so far, the Summit Lake Hornets. Draped in purple with aqua accents and white speckles on the midsole, this pair is the Grape V of the LeBron IX series. Hornet mascot graphic on the back is icing on the cake. Still waiting on the official release date for these, so keep checking back. Pics from Kinstor.

Now here’s a hybrid sneaker you’ve probably never imagined. Combining the upper of the Nike Air Yeezy with the sole of the Air Jordan VI, Nike created this special sneaker for the 2009 Doernbecher auction. Completely blacked out with the exception of the orange lacelock, it uses a combination suede, leather, and patent leather. Not much info on these, but don’t be surprised if they are the only pair in existence. From Just Don It and MN.

All skills or all hype, you might have your opinion, but so does Nike, and apparently it’s good one about late bloomer Jeremy Lin. Lin has already been under contract with Nike since his bench-riding tenure with the Golden State Warriors, but now that he’s finally emerged, Nike has decided to give him an extension and apparently a signature sneaker. So far, we don’t know what Nike has in store for him, but would you cop the Nike Air Lin?
At first glance, these look just like a typical Air Jordan 14 colorway. Take another glance, and you’ll notice that something’s missing. What happened to all of the lines? That’s right, they’re all gone. This is a sample pair of “Seamless” Air Jordan XIVs, done in similar fashion to the Seamless Air Jordan 10s that pop up every now and then. Created in 2006, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a production version of this sneaker anytime soon. Luckily, this pair is currently listed on eBay through seller btn_16.

With the Melo back on the floor and Jeremy Lin’s recent rise to stardom, Jordan Brand’s timing has never been better with the upcoming “Italy Blue” Pack. The pack which makes great use of the Italy Blue, Vivid Orange, and white color palette, includes the Air Jordan 1 Phat, Air Jordan V.1, and the Jordan Spizike. Any model will go great with a Knicks jersey. They will hit stores, this Friday, February 24.
The Chicago and Old Royal colorways have already been released, but Jordan Brand isn’t done with the Air Jordan Xs just yet. Here’s another look at the upcoming stealths. Straying away from the full leather upper, this pair uses black suede, complemented with a black and white checker board sock liner, white graphics, and a black, Stealth and white and white sole. They will officially release on March 24, retailing for $160.

For those of you hoping to grab a pair of “Galaxy” Nike Air Foamposite Ones on Nikestore, I have some bad news. As it turns out, they will not be released online due to “extremely limited quantities”, according to Nikestore’s Twitter. They will be sold on February 24 exclusively at House of Hoops locations and probably select Niketowns and Footlockers. If your local stores aren’t getting them, there’s also quite a few pairs on eBay, but they are not cheap. Here’s a direct link to the listings.

Finally, we have a decent look at the upcoming Air Jordan Gold Medal Pack. Up front, we can see the VIs, which have a black leather and suede upper, finished off with gold and white accents. Very clean, but the prize of the pack will be the Air Jordan VIs. They have a mostly white leather upper, with gold accents, and a red Jumpman on the tongue. Get your cash ready, these will easily be the most sought-after release of the summer.

Here’s some info on the next release in the Nike Zoom Kobe VII “Predator” pack, the “Poison Dart Frog.” Inspired by the colorful but deadly frogs that you’ve probably seen at the zoo, this pair has a mint green print over black, finished off with a matching sole. They are scheduled to release on April 6, and just like the “Sharks”, they will retail for $140. From ART-3Ben-Y.

Here’s another hot womens Air Max 2012 colorway. This time, the upper has received platinum hyperfuse material and matching laces, and finished off with purple and white accents, as well as a purple 360 Max Air unit. You can get these now along with other colors at Nikestore with free shipping. Here’s the link.
Check out this fresh new Blazer High from Nike SB. This colorway has been given a charcoal suede upper, finished off with halo graphics and laces, and Team Red on the lining and tongue logo. They should be hitting skate shops next month, but you can’t wait, they are available now at Flatspot.
