Here’s a detailed look at the home version of the “Oregon Ducks” Air Jordan 3 Retro. Created exclusively for active and former Oregon players, it appears that a few athletes are beginning to get their pairs. With such an exclusive sneaker, it’d be hard not to post them online for bragging rights, as you can see from the pics below. Still no word on how many of these were actually produced, but it’s obvious that they are quite limited.

We got a glimpse of them last month, but tonight we get a much better look at the “Knicks” Away Jordan Melo M8. Created to match the New York Knicks’ away uniform, this pair has black leather and shiny blue patent leather on the upper, finished off with orange accents and a white outsole. They are scheduled to release on Wednesday, October 12.

Here’s yet another Nike Air Max 90 color scheme, just in time for fall. This pair uses a mostly grey and white for the upper, while a black strip runs along the side. The eyelets have been molded in imperial blue. Stay tuned for release info.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Nike SB has teamed up with Made for Skate to create this beautiful Dunk Low. It takes inspiration from the first skateboard sold in the U.S. (shown in the pic). It features a red and white upper, with a black swoosh and light grey outsole. A combination of leather and suede has been used, with a wood grain-like fabric used on the innermost panel. A “#10” has been embroidered near the toe, which represents Nike SB’s 10th anniversary. These pics are from Dunkbar, taken at the Skateboard Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. They will release this October as a quickstrike, with only 2000 pairs expected to exist. There’s already a few pairs on eBay, so it might be a good idea to cop a pair now before the hype sets in. Here’s a direct link to the listings.
After months of waiting, the Nike Total Air Foamposite Max is finally available. Surprisingly, they didn’t last long, despite complaints about the $225 price tag (the originals retailed for $160). You may not be able to get them in stores anymore, but there’s plenty on eBay.
Is Nike SB running out of ideas? This particular pair seems to be inspired by, well, a tree. Done in what looks to be all suede, this pair uses a tar color for the main structure, and a wood-textured dark oak for the inner panels. The swoosh and midsole are black. You can’t say there’s no creativity here, but they could have chosen a more attractive theme. From retrozpekt.
Here’s an interesting theme for a pair of customs. This pair of Air Max 90s was customized by Ecentrik Artistry, and takes inspiration from the Guns and Roses album “Appetite for Destruction”. Starting with a black base, the side panel has received a beautiful orange-to-red gradient, complemented with red, purple, and yellow accents, as well as matching yellow laces. A copy of the cover and track list has been placed on the custom box. You can see more of Ecentrik Artistry’s work on Facebook.
Earlier today, we got another look at the Black/Vivid Pink Air Jordan XIVs. It turns out that Jordan Brand also has a similar colorway planned for the Air Jordan 8.0. This Black/Desert Pink colorway uses black and the sneaker’s base, and has received desert pink accents on the tongue, sock liner and outsole. Also, you’ll find a hint of blue on the heel and tongue areas. Unfortunately, just like the Vivid Pink XIVs, this 8.0 colorway is only for girls, and will not be be released in adult sizes. There’s no official release date for these yet, but stay tuned.
Check out these detailed views of the upcoming White/Black-Sport Red Nike LeBron IX. This pair uses a combination of white leather, black woven material, and white and red Flywire. They will release in stores on November 4 at a retail price of $170.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Jordan trainer that has as much style as the current Air Jordan, but thanks to the upcoming Jordan BCT Mid, the time has finally come. Overseen by Tinker Hatfield, it has been designed specifically for the versatile athlete in mind, and is suitable for training on all surfaces thanks to a multi-directional traction pattern. Also, a high-cut ankle and strap have been incorporated to provide all the support you’ll ever need during a hard workout.
The first two colorways have been draped in patent leather and mesh, with a choice of either Black/Game Red or Obsidian/Metallic Silver-White. The Jordan BCT is scheduled to release in October, and will retail for $90.
Take a look at this upcoming Air Jordan 1 Phat release, created especially for the little ladies. While the front has been done in mostly black suede, the toe box and swoosh areas have received a metallic pink color, and a translucent web design has been placed on the side panel. The Jumpman and sock liner have been done in desert pink. Near the heel you’ll find a familiar heart logo, which denotes these as a “For the Love of the Game” release.

We’ve seen some really nice Chris Paul player exclusives lately, and from the looks of things, there’s still quite a few left. Check out this pair of Air Jordan XX3 PEs, worn by CP3 during the 2007-08 NBA season. They have a black base, contrasted with a bright blue sole, sock liner, and matching accents. Chris Paul’s number “3” has been etched on the left shoe, in place of the usual “23”. This pair was originally posted on eBay by seller arturo420.
Here’s a first look at the Nike Dunk High Pro SB “Tauntaun”, inspired by the camel-like beast used by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in the Star Wars Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back. Designed by Shawn Bavaretto, they feature a combination of denim and fur-like fabric. While the Tauntaun Dunks may not be suited for the harsh conditions on the planet Hoth, they sure are nice. They are scheduled for release sometime in November.
