Jordan Brand is really starting to get the ball rolling with the Air Jordan V.1. Last month, we got a look at the Cool Grey/Anthracite-White color scheme, and now we get a first glance at this Hazelnut team red release. Wrapped in suede, this pair has a hazelnut and brown upper, matched with brown elephant print on the swoosh. A team red sole completes the warm, earthy look. They are due out in January, and will retail for $90.
The Nike Dunk High SB goes all-white with this hot new color scheme. Using leather, suede, and canvas, this pair has a mostly white upper, with a grey toebox and metallic white swoosh. Expect to see this colorway at your local skateshop sometime next summer.
Back in 2007, Jordan Brand graced us with a number of beautiful Air Jordan III colorways, including the Fire Reds and Flips. With so many releases in one year, it should come as no surprise that a few ideas didn’t make the cut. One such example is this White/Orange Air Jordan III colorway. It has a smooth white leather upper with white and orange elephant print, and matching orange accents. It’s a shame that this pair never made it into production. What do you think?

Nike gives us yet another hot Air Griffey Max II release with this new Black/Tour Yellow colorway. The primarily black upper has received yellow accents all around, and is complemented nicely by the white midsole. There’s still no official release date for these yet, but they should hit stores before year’s end. Stay tuned.

Here’s a look at yet another awesome Dunk SB colorway planned for release next summer. This time, this mid-cut model has been used, receiving a beautiful dark blue and aqua green upper, complemented with a black swoosh. As you may notice, the entire sneaker has been done in suede. A white and grey sole adds the finishing touches. I’ll post more on these as it becomes available. From Dunkbar.
Last year, Nike planned to bring the “Pearl” Foamposite Pro back to stores, but with a slight difference. The gorgeous pearl white Foamposite upper and black eyelets remain the same, but the swoosh has been molded peal white to match. This gives it an almost seamless appearance. Unfortunately, this sneaker never made it past the sample stage. Hopefully one day the folks at Nike will finally decide to put this pair into production.
Here’s an early look a the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 360. It combines the classic styling of the Air Max 95 with an Air Max 360 sole. As you can see, the Nike Air Max 95 design has been tweaked with much more modern designs. These Black/Red and Grey/Volt colorways are planned for release next year, certainly with more releases to follow.
The Air Jordan X gets another reincarnation with upcoming Air Jordan X Auto Clave. Similar to the Seamless 10s, the majority of the lines have been deleted, as well the elastic straps. Two colorways have initially been made available, Varsity Red/White and Black/Varsity Red. The Air Jordan X Auto Clave will release in January at a retail price of $110.

Today, I’ve got some great news for you Air Jordan VII fans. After lingering rumors, it has finally been confirmed that the Black/Red “Raptor” Air Jordan VIIs will finally make a return next year. Done in black suede with red and purple accents, this has always been a favorite colorway among sneakerheads. There’s still not much info on these, but stayed tuned.

I know you guys just can’t get enough of the “Black Flip” Air Jordan IIIs, so here is another set of beautiful images. Basically a reverse of the Black/Cement IIIs due out on Black Friday, the majority of of the upper has been covered with black elephant print, while black leather has been placed on the toe and heel areas. They are scheduled to hit stores on December 3.

Nike gives us two hot new Air Max 90 LE colorways with the F/W collection. The first pair has a burgundy upper, complemented with black and white accents. The second pair has a similar color scheme, but with grey as the primary upper. They are available now at RMK.
The “Blackout” theme has been popular on Jordans, Kobes, and LeBrons for quite a while, but now it has finally been applied to the KD series. Just like all of the other sneakers to bare the name, the entire upper and sole have been done in black, with the exception of dark grey graphics. They are definitely the stealthiest KD release we’ve seen yet. Stay tuned for info on a U.S. release. From Sneakergo.

If the Max Orange/Black Nike Dunk High AC VTs were too bright for you, then check out these. Using the same leather suede material combo, this pair has received a completely navy upper, with the exception of the tongue, laces, and sock liner, wihich have been done in a beautiful turquoise. They are also available at Asphalt.
Tonight we get another look at the Varsity Red/White-Black Nike Air Foamposite One. Scheduled for release in February, this pair’s metallic red upper and icy clear sole will make the ultimate Valentine’s Day present. From Kickz Lab.
Let’s take another look at the “Bordeaux” Jordan Spizikes. Nicknamed after the popular Air Jordan VII colorway, this sneaker actually looks nothing like them. While the Bordeaux VIIs have a very dark color palette, this pair has a much more vibrant layout, with a large portion of the upper covered in white leather, decorated with bright blue, red, and yellow accents. Dark grey makes up only a portion of the sneaker’s overall color scheme. Also, as you may notice, the actual listed color scheme on the box has been changed, and no longer even contains “Bordeaux”. Most of us will probably keep calling these the Bordeaux Spizikes, but this change should help to avoid misleading those who haven’t seen these yet.
