Here’s a look at the latest Nike Air Max 2012 colorway. Done in mostly black, a white swoosh and a matching stripe on the sole provide a little contrast, while a clear 360 Max Air unit gives the sneaker an almost floating appearance. The official release date hasn’t been revealed, but you can get these now at Titolo.

Last week, we got a look at the Black/Red ’08 Dunk Highs. Today, we get a look at their Black/Yellow counterpart, released around the same time. Also done in all leather, this pair has received a bright yellow upper with black on all of the inner panels. If you’ve been following Dunks for a while, you’re probably aware that this color scheme has been released a number of times over the years. I guess some things just never get old. From Atmos.
Excited about the upcoming White/Varsity Red-Black Air Jordan XIVs? Now you can get them early. Sneaker shop Titan will release the 14s on tomorrow, January 3. Titan will sale the White/Varsity Red XIVs for PHP7,695 or about $175.17. At only $15 above retail price, that’s not a bad deal to get these early and sleep in.

The Air Force 1 will continue to see lots of new releases next year, including this Deep Royal Blue color scheme. Using leather in the front and the newly-popular carbon fiber near the heel, the majority of the sneaker has been covered in Deep Royal Blue. A cerulean blue has been placed on the tongue logo and outsole to provide a little contrast. This colorway is scheduled to release sometime this fall. From dballaholic.

Jordan brand has plans to release more Air Jordan 1 colorways this year, including a few for the ladies. Here’s one for the little girls. Done in similar fashion to the Desert Pink AJ1s, Metallic violet has been used on the heel and swoosh areas, while black suede covers the front and a lighter violet can be seen underneath the lingerie-like fabric. Cyber grey has been used on the laces and tongue. No official release date yet, but if you can read Japanese (or use Google Translator), they are available now at Soleroom.

Here’s a report for you sneakerheads in Dallas and the surrounding areas. On the way back from my road trip, I hit up the Nike Factory Store in Allen, Texas. This store had quite a bit to choose from. Let’s have a look at what I found…
Nike really plans to do it big with the classics this year. Take a look at this Nike Air Max 1 Premium colorway from Air Kena. Using a combination of suede and leather, the upper has been draped in black, with white on the swoosh and eyelets. A hazelnut emblem has been placed on the tongue, which perfectly matches the hazelnut and white sole. This pair is a sample, but expect to see a release later this year.

If you’re a fan of the Nike Air Flow, you know how difficult they are to obtain. The last couple of times this classic running sneaker was released, they sold out immediately. Copping a pair now will cost you quite a bit, as you can see from the prices on eBay. Next year, two more colorways are planned Tonal Black/White and White/Electric Blue-Cherry. They aren’t scheduled to release until February, but if you want to save yourself some stress, you can preorder these now from the UK-based shop Hannon.
Check out this fresh new Dunk High colorway from Atmos. Done in leather, this pair is very similar to the Be True to Your School series, with a black and red upper, matched with a black and red sole. No word yet on a possible US release, but stay tuned for an update.
Nike is taking advantage of the Concord XI madness with a Kobe VII release of the same name. Using the same color scheme, as the XIs, the Kobe VIIs have received a mostly white upper, complemented with concord on the heel and midsole areas, while black covers the swoosh, liner, and laces. A concord ankle sleeve has been fitted to match. They are scheduled to officially release in stores on Friday, January 6, retailing for $180.Pics from Kickz-Lab.

The night after visiting Terrell, TX, I made my way to Gonzales, Louisiana to visit the Nike Factory Store at the local Tanger Outlet Mall. This time, the selection was much better. Here’s a look at what I found.
There was a much better choice of Air Jordans this time. I spotted the White/Black Air Jordan 2011 for $119.99, and Black Laser AJF 4s for $109.99, among others. There were lots of Nike basketball sneakers as well, including Shox, “Ink” ($79.97) and Black/Black-Metallic Silver Kobe Vs for $79.97 and $54.97, respectively. For the Penny fans, Eggplant 1/2 Cents were available in most sizes for $89.99. Also, I saw a couple pairs of Black/Gold size 11 (I think) Flightposite IIs that have been sitting for about 2 years. They were on clearance for $74.97. Not a bad deal with the 30% off that Nike outlets are currently running on clearance items. I ended up copping a pair of the Black Kobe Vs.
If old school Nikes are your thing, this was the place to be. I spotted the Deep Burgundy/Black-Deep Burgundy Nike Air Trainer SC II for $89.99, as well as a couple of AF1 and Vintage Blazer colorways (see below), among others. The running sneaker selection was decent, too.
Parking here was horrible, and the drivers were even worse.
Lots of Jordan Brand goodies. The White/Black Air Jordan 2011s were $119.99 and Black Laser AFJ 4s
were $109.99.
Nice selection of old school models. My favorites were the Deep Burgundy/Black-Deep Burgundy Nike Air
Trainer SC II ($79.99) and White/Red Air Force 1 Lows ($69.99).
Pretty good prices on Nike’s lower end basketball and running shoes.
Oh yeah! Eggplant Nike 1/2 Cents for $89.99. There were plenty of these. I’m still considering copping
a pair.
A few more running shoes as well as a small selection of Nike SB sneakers.
Someone please get these Flightposite IIs, I’m sick of looking at them. I visited this store about 2 years ago and saw these, and they are still there. Two pairs, both size 11 I believe, for $74.97, and 30% off this week. I think it’s time for a much-needed markdown.
S
There were a few pairs of these
Black Kobe Vs, for $79.97, I believe. I just recently copped a
pair, so I didn’t see a need for two.
I didn’t leave Kobeless, though. I
got these Black/Black-Metallic Silver Kobe Vs for $54.97.
This
concludes the Gonzales, LA Nike Outlet Report. Hopefully, at least
some you found this helpful. I’ll probably check this one again
year from now, to see what’s new, and if those Flightposite IIs
have finally disappeared. If you need to place an order on
anything, the Gonzales outlet does ship. You can call them at 225-644-4265.
The Nike Zoom KD IV joins China’s Year of the Dragon celebration with this upcoming release. An almost completely blue upper has been used, while a somewhat hypnotizing pattern covers the strap and tongue. A white swoosh has been placed on the strap to provide a little color contrast. Stay tuned for info on the release date for these.

We already saw Black/Red-White Air Jordan XI Lows last week, but for some reason I forgot to post the Concord Lows. Perhaps I subconsciously blocked them off after dealing with all of the craziness over the mid-cut version. Anyways, here they are. Just like the Black/Red-White lows, graphics of MJ’s six NBA Championship rings have been placed on the tongue. They are expected to hit stores sometime this spring. Hopefully this release will be a little easier obtain, or at least free of Get Money Boyz. From DDC.

Growing up, I was a huge Spiderman fan. Despite the fact that he had extraordinary powers, he was one of the few superheroes that dealt with typical young adult problems, like paying bills, managing school and work (and crime-fighting), and maintaining a relationship. I always thought of him as a good fictional role model for kids. For that reason, I couldn’t resist posting when I saw these Spiderman-themed Reebok Thermalvibes. Created to match Spidey’s costume, the upper has been wrapped in Red with a black spider web, complemented with blue and black. A white Reebok logo and matching laces add the final color. Also, Spiderman’s face has been placed on the tongue. There is also a black version, which matches Spidey’s black costume. Before you fanboys geek out on these, they are only available in preschool sizes, retailing for $60. From Long 7.
