Tonight I’ve got some new pics of the upcoming Grey/Red Air Jordan 2011s. Using patina leather, this pair has a grey and red upper, contrasted by a white outsole and matching white laces and tongue graphics. Hopefully we’ll have an official release date for these soon.
After eight years and a bunch of crazy colorways, the Air Jordan XI low IE finally returns in its Black/Varsity Red form. While the IEs may not be as popular as their patent leather counterpart, it’s good to see them back in stores again. Looking at the pics, they look like a perfect replica of the 2003 release. Expect the XI Retro IEs to drop this July, at a retail price of $120, the same price as back in the day.

Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of Air Max 90 colorways, but let’s not forget about Nike’s other classic running sneaker from the same era, the one that started it all, the Air Max 1. Today, I’ve got an all new colorway, which uses kelp suede, instead of the traditional nubuck. It has a mostly brown kelp and mesh upper, complented with a white swoosh and midsole, and finished off with a red outsole. These should be available at your local retailers now.
Now here’s a pair you don’t see everyday. This pair of Air Jordan VIIIs never received a public release, and this is probably one of very few pairs in existence. The tongue has a Jumpman in front of a “V” (victory), instead of the usual “Peace Symbol” Jumpman. Also notice that the graphics near the heel are also much different. , and Given the odd colorway, it comes as no surprise that these never made it to stores. If you would like to add this incredibly rare sneaker to your personal collection, you can get this pair at Wayeasy.

Thanks to Nike’s 21 Mercer shop, you can now own your dream Air Max 90 colorway. They’ve made a huge addition to their fabric palette, which now consists of not only solid colors, but various other patterns, prints, and textures as well. Your dream pair of Air Max 90s can be created once you set up an appointment with 21 Mercer. More than likely, there’s going to be a waiting list, but wouldn’t it be worth it?
The NBA regular season may be almost over, but Nike’s Zoom Kobe VI reign isn’t done just yet. Here’s a look at the new White/Black-Del Sol colorway, planned for release this Saturday (4/7/2011). On this pair, you’ll find a translucent white upper which fades to black towards the midsole, and a black swoosh with yellow accents. Don’t be surprised to see the Black Mamba sporting these in the playoffs a couple of weeks from now.

It looks like Jordan Brand is making big moves this year. Take a look at these Air Jordan V and Jordan CP3 IV colorways, which may possibly be released at Jordan Brand’s rumored Tokyo23 shop in Japan. While this might mean we won’t be getting them in the U.S., they will definitely be available at the online shops. Let’s hope Jordan Brand decides to go through with the expansion. I’ll certainly keep you guys posted as more info becomes available.
Here’s another hot Nike Air Max 90 colorway guaranteed to break necks. This pair has a full leather upper, and uses a combination of red, grey and white for the upper, with burgundy accents. These are available in stores now.

Jordan Brand and Nike have really taken special consideration for the baby sneakerheads this past year. Nike created bootie versions of classic Air Max 95 colorways, Jordan Brand followed up with an Air Jordan 1 bootie, and now they’re doing it again with an Air Jordan VII Bordeaux bootie. While your little one’s feet may not be ready for the real thing, they can still show love for the sneaker game with these hot booties.

You guys may remember last year’s “Chaos” Nike Zoom Kobe V, a very unusual colorway that used a combination of navy, yellow, and red, and had a white midsole, splattered with red. Well, the folks at Nike have applied this same theme to the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. As you can see below, the conversion from Chaos V to VI worked out well – the upper has the same navy and yellow pattern, and the splattered sole remains intact to match the red sock liner. I’ll post more info on these as it becomes available.

The Air Jordan 2011 onslaught continues with this new Black/Electric green colorway. In similar fashion to the Black/Dark Charcoal model released last Saturday, this pair has an almost completely blacked out upper, except this time, a bit of green has been added. Green graphics have been placed on the tongue and heel, and the sole has been molded in a soft green. Also, if you look closely, you’ll see that green has been been placed in the upper’s breathing holes as well. No official release date for these yet, but you can cop them now on Kicks Lab.

Here’s something for all of the OG sneakerheads. Nike is bringing out the Cortez Classic in two new colorways with the Nylon Pack. The first colorway has a navy upper, with a gold swoosh, blue accents, and white laces. The traditional white sole remains unchanged. The second pair has a similar color scheme, except for a gold upper and a red swoosh and tongue logo. The upper of both shoes has consists of mostly nylon, with nubuck suede on the toe box and eyelets. You can expect to see these in stores within the next couple months, or sooner.
The folks at Nike have decided to bring back another classic running sneaker, the Nike Air Max Skyline. Despite being a bit dated compared to today’s technology, the Skyline is very lightweight, and the mesh fabric and max air unit still provide enough to perform on the track without sacrificing comfort on the street. This release comes in a color scheme which has been seen on other Air Max releases both old and new, using a white upper with blue, and volt yellow accents. The White/Volt-Blue Skyline has already been released in Europe, and should arrive in the States this summer.
Check out this new Air Jordan III colorway, made especially for the kiddies. This pair has a primarily white upper, with a soft grey elephant print, that almost blends in tot the rest of the shoe. Usually the elephant print stands on on most Air Jordan 3 models, but this time, it’s the laces. The laces have been dyed in a rainbow pattern, which includes red, pink, blue, yellow, and green. To keep things a little normal, the graphics and sock liner has been done in red. HK Kicks.
