So far, it’s still uncertain if we’ll get to see LeBron and the Miami play on Christmas day, but that won’t stop Nike from creating a special pair for the occasion. For this Christmas, the Nike LeBron IX has received a beautiful bright red upper, contrasted by a white swoosh, green laces and a matching green pull tab. An icy clear sole adds the finishing touches. It looks like they may be scheduled for an actual release on Christmas. If so, expect them to release as an online exclusive, as stores will be closed.

The Nike Zoom KD continues to get better and better with each model, and the KD IV are no exception. Here’s a quick look at one of the most recently revealed colorways of this awesome sneaker.

We’ve seen a lot of Black Blazer releases over the years, but never one this shiny. This pair has been covered in a very glossy black leather, matched with black laces and a furry black sole. A gum sole provides the cushioning and a nice contrast as well. Stay tuned for info on a possible U.S. release. From Size?.
You may remember that back in 2002, Jordan Brand gave us a low top White/Pearl Blue-Carolina colorway. It looks like they may have also considered releasing these in high top form instead. This is a sample version of the high top IXs in their White/Pearl Blue. As you can tell, everything is identical to the low top version. Which release would you have preferred?

It’s been fairly common for Nike to release its older trainers from the 80s and 90s, but one that we don’t see as often is the Nike Air Trainer Max 97. This fall, Nike is making up for lost time with some hot new colorways of this classic shoe. First on the list is this Black/Anthracite-Wolf Grey-Dark Grey release. The majority of the upper has been wrapped in black, while a combination of grey and anthracite has been used on the inner panels and midsole. Red stitching and graphics add a little more personality to this beautiful sneaker. You can expect to see these in stores shortly.

Lately, Jordan Brand has been hit or miss with its hybrid combinations of past AJ models, but it seems they’ve hit a homerun with the Jordan Prime 5. This black/ infrared release does a great job of showcasing the sneaker’s “borrowed” design cues, and looks good at the same time. Its infrared laces, tongue and sock liner provide a nice contrast to the completely blacked-out upper. They are due out in stores on November 5, and will retail for $115.

Sometimes it seems like the ladies get all the hot releases. Check out this hot new Nike Air Max 1 color scheme, which has a wine upper, stitched above white mesh, and a finished off with a black swoosh. There’s a chance that we may not see these in the U.S., but luckily they are available online at the UK-based shop End Clothing.
Here’s another look at the White/White-Sport Red-Black Air Jordan XIVs, scheduled to hit stores again next year.

We’ve seen quite a few Lebron IX colorways so far, but undoubtedly one of the most anticipated is the Miami Nights release. This time, a metallic silver and black color scheme has been used on the majority of the upper, while the usual hot pink has been placed on the swoosh, air sole, tongue logo and laces. They are scheduled to hit stores on November 4 at a retail price of $170, but you can cop them now at Millenium Shoes.

With the return of the Black/Cement Grey Air Jordan IIIs just a month away, many sites have already received shipments, making them incredibly easy to cop early. Unfortunately, there’s been a large number of rumors circulating about these “early release” sites, putting their quality and at times, even authenticity, into question. One of the more popular sites is Air Randy. Thanks to my buddy Marwan, I was able to get a first-hand look at Air Randy’s IIIs, as well conduct a brief comparison of the 2011 IIIs to the 2008 Collezione release.
Before we get to the comparison, let’s look at Air Randy’s product. As you can see, the sneaker looks virtually flawless. The stitching was good, there were no paint chips, and included in the box was the elephant print paper and foldout design sheet. Unfortunately, there was no Jordan hangtag. There is still some question as to whether every pair comes with it, as quite a few pairs have surfaced both with and without it. It’s possible that hangtags could be limited to select regions, but nevertheless, the pictures reveal a legit, quality product from Air Randy. It’s possible that you may get a defective pair, but the same can happen at your local store.
Flawless! But where’s the hangtag?

Looking a clean pair of Air Max 95s to spice up your shoe game? Then check out this new Obsidian/White colorway. The majority of the sneaker has been covered in obsidian blue nubuck suede, with a little flash added thanks to an obsidian patent leather strip on the side. The white outlined swoosh provides a nice accent to the sneaker. This pair has been released as a JD Sports exclusive, and is available now on their web site.
Can’t decide which Foamposite colorway to wear? How about all of them. Just recently, the pictures of very colorful Nike Air Foamposite surfaced on the net. Taking the idea from the What the Dunks, this pair has incorporated almost every color seen on the Foamposites, making for a very psychedelic sneaker. The question is, is it a Foamposite One or Pro? In the first pic, it appears to be a Foamposite One, but the second pic depicts the same design on the Foamposite Pro. Perhaps it’s just a bad photoshop. Time will tell. Stay tuned for more info on this interesting design. From NT.
A couple of weeks ago, we got a look at an early prototype Air Jordan 2012 model. Now, it seems the sneaker is close to completion, and tonight we have a sample of what looks to be the finished product. As you can see, quite a bit has been changed. The Flywire has been partially covered, and beefier panels have been added. This colorway isn’t exactly Air Jordanish, but it’ll do for now. So now that we have a “completed” sample, what do you think, yay or nay?
