While many of us are gearing up for the release of the Chicago and Old Royal Air Jordan Xs, Jordan Brand has also cooked up something special just for the little ones. This pair has a mostly white and black color scheme, complemented with ultraviolet and accents on the sole and underneath the netted lace area, and is finished off with a cyber yellow and black checkerboard sock liner. They are scheduled to release sometime next year. Stay tuned for more on these. From Kicks Lab.

New Balance takes us back to our childhood with this fresh 574PB release. Created as part of the “Tall Tales” pack, this pair has been inspired by the super lumberjack Paul Bunyan. It sports a brown nubuck upper, with light tan mesh on the toebox and ankle area. White and red accents add an additional touch, along with a pair of red laces. They are available now at Corporate.
Nike gives us another hot Vintage Blazer release with this new color scheme, which combines colors from many past Vintage Blazers. Completely covered in suede, the main portion of the upper has been done in a deep blue, while pink, orange and black accents have been uses on the eyelets, toebox, and side. A white swoosh and outsole provide sanity to this bright array of colors. You can get these now at Foot Patrol.
Finally, the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP has arrived, and what better color scheme to use for the sneaker’s premier than one that gives tribute to Penny? Perfectly matching his Orlando Magic uniform, the upper has been done in Binary Blue and black, finished off with a icy clear sole. You can get the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP now on eBay.

Next year’s Nike SB lineup is looking better and better with every new colorway that gets revealed. The latest Dunk addition is this new Croc Dunk Low. The majority of the upper has a been constructed in a grey faux croc skin leather, while the inner panels consist of black and white nubuck suede, along with matching white laces. To keep the sneaker from being completely grayscale, the sock liner has been done in light blue, and icy blue outsole has been used as well. They aren’t expected to hit stores until summer 2012, so you’ve got plenty of time to build up those cash reserves to cop these as well as all of the other hot releases. From NSB.
Freehand Profit has taken the Air Jordan IV Laser to a whole new level with its latest mask design. A pair of AJF4 Laser Premiers were completely taken apart and reconstructed to form this beautiful gas mask. This isn’t just some odd piece of art however- Freehand created these as part of a “Branding Wars” series. This particular piece represents the relationship between consumerism and war, and shows that it is possible to acknowledge our desire for material things without forgetting about our everyday problems. It’s truly a masterpiece. I planned to post a link for those interested in purchasing this piece, but unfortunately, it has already been sold. However, you can still check out the other pieces in this series here.

Ahh, Nerf guns. Those brightly colored guns which finally made it safe for kids to shoot each other, and without the worry of having explain to the parents why they were drenched in water. I was more of a Super Soaker guy, so I never had one, but you gotta appreciate the design. Apparently Nike is quite fond of them, having created this special Nerf-inspired Zoom KD IV colorway. Using a mainly blue and grey upper, this sneaker has received a little excitement that’s to bright red and neon accents, as well as a black splatter pattern running across the strap and midsole. There’s no way you can walk by someone without getting a glance. Just recently Kevin Durant was seen wearing these, but it appears that these will also release in limited quantities at select stores. Stay tuned for more info on these.

RMK just recently posted these new pics of the Black/Grey-White Nike Zoom Kobe VIIs. With it’s super light weight material and extra cushioning and ankle support provided by the removable insole, this should be the best Kobe sneaker yet. We still don’t have an official release date for these yet, but I’d expect to see them in stores before the end of the year.
