Nike brings back another classic with the Nike Air Vortex. Done in mint green suede with white nylon and a cherry swoosh, this pair definitely brings old school back. The pre-yellowed midsole adds a little vintage feel to it as well. You can get these now at Titolo for $141.
Before you get a sense of Deja Vu, this is not the Binary Blue LWP colorway that we’ve seen before. Called “Dynamic Blue”, this colorway resembles the popular first LWP colorway, but with a slightly different shade of blue. Just like the Binaries, this pair has been matched with a black upper and a clear sole.

You may remember that a while back I posted a pics of Jordan Brand’s Pantone Collection, which included University Blue/White colorways of Air Jordan’s 1-2010. Unfortunately, this collection never received a public release. Here’s an up close look at the Air Jordan XIs from the Pantone Collection. Just like the rest of the lineup, the entire upper has been done in University Blue, with the exception of a white Jumpman logo. A white midsole and icy clear sole add the finishing touches. This sneaker is normally impossible to get a hold of, but right now, this sample pair is currently listed on eBay. If you’re ready to fork up the cash, they can be yours. Here’s the direct link.

Just a heads up to let every know that Nike’s Black History Month Pack is now available. The pack, which includes the Kobe VII, KD IV, LeBron 9, and a number of other hot Nike models, can be purchased at Nikestore, as well as at your local Niketown.

Jordan Brand’s “For the Love of the Game” collection continues to expand, this time with the Air Jordan V.1. A white upper has been used (I know it looks grey), complemented with a Voltage Cherry sole and sock liner and Storm Pink laces A cherry For the Love of the Game logo has been embroidered at the rear of the shoe. Unfortunately, this release appears to be for kids only. They have already began showing up at Nike Harajuku in Japan.

Over the last few years, the blacked-out, or “murdered out” look has become incredibly popular, especially on sneakers. Apparently, someone at Jordan Brand was curious to see what a blacked-out pair of Air Jordan 11s would like, and the result is the sneaker shown here. As you can see, the entire sneaker has been done completely in black, with the exception of an icy clear outsole. It’d be really nice to see these go into the production, but from the tags it appears that this sample was produced for a Holiday 2010 release, so chances are a bit slim at this point. Luckily, eBay seller brokeonjordans has this pair up for auction. Here’s a direct link to the auction.

Tonight we get yet another look at the upcoming White/Old Royal-Stealth Air Jordan Xs, this time form AGS. If you missed out on the Chicago Xs, this pair will make an excellent substitution. With its white, royal and stealth color scheme, they will match with just about any outfit, or even just a t-shirt and jeans. The White/Old Royal-Stealth Air Jordan 10 will drop everywhere this Saturday, February 11. They shouldn’t be too difficult to cop, especially with the Black history Pack releasing at the same time.
