Take a look at this new varsity jacket from Original Fake, created as a collaboration between OriginalFake and Loopwheeler. Using Loopwheeler’s fleece material, the this jacket has a black base with gray sleeves. OriginalFake’s Chum mascot has been placed on the chest area. The Original Fake x Loopwheeler Sweat Varsity Jacket is planned to release in the fall.
Here’s a sneaker all you alkies can appreciate. Taking inspiration from everyone’s favorite bomb-shot ingredient, Jagermeister, Nike SB has created this beautiful new Dunk high color scheme. This pair has a black nubuck suede upper, with green on the toe box and tongue, and a yellow swoosh and Nike SB logo. They are planned for a Holiday 2011 release.
We’ve seen the shoes, but how about the box? Here’s a first look at the packaging for the White/Black-Dark Concord Air Jordan XIs. As you can see, they’ve kept the same box from the 2009 Space Jams XI and 2010 Cool Grey XIs, but this time the box has been done in a two-tone color, with black at the bottom and white at the top. I never noticed how the box was designed after the shape of the XIs until now. The plastic insert/dust cover has been printed in Concord. I have to say, for being a cardboard box, it’s pretty damn cool. From Kicks-lab.

I’ve never really been a fan of the Dunk Mids, but the Tiffany are one of my favorite all-time Dunks, so I couldn’t resist sharing these. As the name hints, these are just the opposite of the Tiffany Dunks we all know and love. The colors have been reversed, they are mid top instead of low top, and dull leather has been used instead of the shiny stuff. Nevertheless, it’s pretty decent colorway, and not a bad alternative to paying the outrageous price that that real thing goes for. Just see for yourself.
I always thought the Air Jordan IX lows were one of Jordan Brand’s best attempts at creating a low top Air Jordan model. It’s been a while since we’ve seen them in stores, but just recently Jordan Brand’s Josiah Lake posted this unreleased pair of IX Lows. They have a white and red upper, with matching red pain on the midsole and Jumpman. I’d love to see these go into production, but let’s face it, chances are slim to none.

Who knew a brown sneaker could look so good? Only the folks at Nike SB, apparently. This upcoming Dunk High uses a combination of dark brown and tan, with a hint of red on the tongue tag and on the heel. The upper uses both nubuck suede and full-grain leather. They are almost like an updated version of the Brown/Maple “Brown Pack” from a few years back. The “Golden Hops” Dunk is planned for release in spring 2012. From N-SB.org.
The Freshwater theme has worked quite well on all of the other Griffey models, so it should be no surprise to it on the Nike Air Max Jr. This pair has a mostly black upper, with Fresh Water on the tongue, outsole, and swoosh. You can get them now at the NY-based store Sneaker Bistro, and on eBay as well.
Here’s a few more pics of the upcoming and highly desired White/Black-Dark Concord Air Jordan XI Retro. While things could change (and they always do), they are currently rumored to release on December 23. Time to get your cash ready!

Tonight, I’ve got an update for you guys on the upcoming Wolf Grey/Cement (previously called cool grey/cement) Air Jordan 2.0. When we first got word of these, it was only known that they were planned for release later this year. It appears that they will be releasing quite soon, actually. They Wolf Grey/Black-White-Metallic Gold Air Jordan 2.0 is planned to release on August 13, at a retail price of $160. I don’t expect these to sell out on the first day, but they should definitely go faster than all of the other colorways we’ve seen so far.

Color: Wolf Grey/Black-White-Metallic Gold
Style: 455616-017
Release: 08/13/2011
Price: $160.00
Here’s a new Nike Air Max 95 Womens colorway that Pikachu and Super Sonic would love. With the exception of the clear air bubbles, the entire sneaker has been draped in yellow from the top of the tongue to the outsole. Definitely not my taste, but if you’d like to own a pair, they are available now at Nike.com.

With the Jordan Brand Flight Tour 2011 in full effect, it’s no surprise to see a few exclusive colorways. Here’s a look at the Jordan CP3.IV “Chinese Mask”. It uses a combination of white and signal blue, with yellow accents and a hint of red. So far, these have been a China-only release, but maybe they will make it to the U.S. From Kicks Crew.

It look like Nike is rehashing a lot of their old Dunk colorways. First we saw the low top “Iron” Dunk SB, and now we get high top “Plums”? The Plum lows weren’t a Nike SB colorway, but actually a CO.JP (Nike.com Japan exclusive) release. Completely covered in nubuck suede, the upper, has a plum/light grey upper, with a red swoosh and matching red laces. Original or not, they sure are hot, and right at the top of my must-cop list. The Plum Dunks are scheduled to release in September.
With the rumors confirmed, you knew it was just a matter of time before the pics surfaced. Here’s a first look at the upcoming White/Black-Dark Concord Air Jordan XI, no doubt the most anticipated release of the year (certainly mine). As you can see, not much has been changed, same colors, same icy blue sole. The laces might not be as fat as the ones on the original Concord XIs, but that’s something we’ve learned to live with over the years. Are you as excited for these as I am?

If you’re prone to seizures, you might want to look away from this new Hyperdunk colorway. Almost completely covered in Tonal Volt, this pair will make your feet visible from a mile away. A white sole and accents as well as a metallic silver swoosh have been added to make these easier on the eyes, but it has very little effect. If your eyes can bare it, you can probably get your hands on a pair by this fall.
Let’s get another look at one of this fall’s most anticipated releases, the Nike Air Foamposite “Dark Pine”. Covered in a dark pine and black color scheme that would make a Christmas tree jealous, the bottom has been finished off with an icy clear sole. They are scheduled to hit stores in September. I’ll post the exact date as soon as it becomes available.
