After months of waiting, the highly-anticipated “Last Shot” Air Jordan XIVs are finally available! Worn by MJ as he hit his final shot as a Chicago Bull and clinched the their sixth championship, this sneaker is truly an important part of history. You can get these now at most major stores, including online at Nikestore.

I just can’t get enough of the Metallic Red Nike Air Foamposite One, and I figured you guys couldn’t either, so I might as well post some new images. With its shiny metallic red upper and clear sole, these are definitely going to go fast when they hit stores in February. Releasing during the same month of Valentine’s day shouldn’t help much, either. Get your tents ready!
The year might be almost over, but Nike SB still has a few releases up its sleeve. Here’s a look at one of their most recent Dunk Low releases. This pair uses a combination of suede and pebbled leather, done in midnight navy and black. Yellow stitching has been used to attach the swoosh, and matches the tongue and heel graphics. A white midsole does the rest. You can get these now at Premier.

Just like the “Shark” Kobe VII, Nike has strayed away from the Black Mamba theme, this time with a land-based animal. Taking inspiration from the Cheetah, the world’s fastest land animal, the cheetah, the pair has received a mostly purple upper, covered with black spots. An electric green has been used on the swoosh, removable insole, outsole, and Flywire. Red laces complete the look. Not exactly a subtle colorway, but it’s definitely unique. These will be worn by Kobe on Christmas, and are expected to release online at the same time.

Finally, we get an up-close-detailed look at the Air Jordan 2012, Jordan Brand’s latest sneaker in the main line. As you can see, this model makes extensive use of one of Nike’s most recently developed technologies, Flywire. Also, the sneaker includes a removable cushioned sole and sock liner, similar to that seen on the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme. There is still no official release date for the 2012s, but typically white/black colorways release first, so we’ll probably see these in stores before any other color schemes drop. From YW.
With so many Air Jordan 8.0 colorways released so far, you know it was only a matter of time before we got an Aqua release. Taking inspiration from the original Aqua Air Jordan VIIIs, an all-black upper has been used, with purple and aquamarine graphics on the midsole. Of course, an aqua Jumpman has been placed on the tongue to match. There is still no official release date for these, but they should be hitting stores in the near future, possibly before year’s end.
With limited production and swarms of hypebeasts, some Dunk SBs have become so expensive that obtaining a pair seems like a pipe dream. Thanks to artist Jake Messing, you can at least keep the shoe of your dreams in memory with a piece of original Dunk artwork. So far, Jake has created masterpieces of the Pidgeon, Tiffany, Orange Flash, Supreme Low, and Sea Crystal Dunks. The prints are 11″ x 14″, and for about 74 Euro ($94.75), you can own one. To purchase a print, visit Jake’s blog, Hello Black Hole.
If you haven’t heard the news, the White/Fire Red-Black Air Jordan IVs are planned for release next year. For the Mars haters, don’t worry, no silly graphics this time. They will remain true to the originals (minus the Nike Air, of course). We still don’t have an official release date yet, but last time we heard, they were scheduled to hit stores during the holidays next year.

Here’s another hot Nike Air Max 90 colorway, created with the fall season in mind. Using grey and white as a base, this pair has orange and burgundy accents all around. For some reason, this colorway really makes me crave pumpkin pie. You can cop these now at Soul Boutique for $100.
Before you get too excited, this is actually only a Canvas Air Force 1, no actual cashmere. In fact, I’m not even sure why they decided to call it “Cashmere”. Perhaps it has something to do with the color, which happens to have an off-white canvas upper with beige covering the swoosh, laces, and sole. Then again, cashmere comes in just about every color these days. Either way, this is a solid colorway which will look good with just about any outfit. There’s no release date for these so far, but stay tuned for more info. From SF.

The Nike Air Max CB34 releases just keep rolling out. Here’s a look at the latest colorway to make it past the drawing board. Anthracite grey covers the entire upper, while a white sole and turquoise accents take care of the rest. You can get these now if select stores, and also through Eastbay.

Take a look at this hot new AF1 colorway. The upper has been made entirely in black leather, with the exception of a blue outline around the swoosh and a matching blue heel. Blue graphics have also been used to add a little more color. you can get these now online at JD Sports.

What better way for Jordan Brand to celebrate the 2012 Olympics than with a pack containing two of its most loved models? Here’s an early look at the upcoming Air Jordan 6/7 Olympic pack. This pack will consist of both the Air Jordan VI and VII, IN all new colorways. The VIs have been done in a white and color color scheme, while the VIIs have a black upper with gold accents. It’s still too early for an official release date, but you can expect to see these in summer 2012. Let’s hope that the usual $310 price for a pack doesn’t increase. From MN.

Looks like Canvas Air Max 90s are back with a vengeance. Yesterday, we got a look at the red Canvas Air Max 90s, and today we have yet another new release. This time, a washed black canvas has been used, accentuated with a grey swoosh and matching eyelets. White has been used on the laces, sock liner, and a portion of the midsole, which adds nicely to the overall look of the shoe. I’m still unsure if these are available yet. Have you seen them in any of your local stores?
Here’s a few more images of the upcoming Electrolime Foamposites, a.k.a. the “Golden States”. Using a metallic yellow and black upper matched with an icy sole, this sneaker is bound to cause some serious neck breakage. There is still no set date yet, but they will release sometime next year. If you can’t wait, they are beginning to pop up on eBay.
