Last month, I posted a few pics of the Bog Green/Black Nike SB Blazers. For those of you who just couldn’t get enough, here’s a second look. There’s nothing too fancy about these at all, but sometimes that’s a good thing. These will go perfect with a pair t-shirt and a pair of jeans, or just about anything else. If versatility is what you want, this is your shoe. Expect them to hit shelves in March.
This year, both Jordan Brand and Nike have decided to celebrate black history month with special colorways of the Air Jordan III Retro and Nike Zoom Kobe VI. Both colorways feature a mostly black and gold upper with gold accents, and Black History Month logos.

Are you tired of all the fancy colorways, and want something a little more simple? Then check out these new White/Velvet Brown AF1s. This pair is about as simple as it gets, with a white upper, finished off with a dark brown swoosh, and a brown sole. You should be able to get your hands on a pair of these next month.

I know a lot of you are already stressing over copping a pair of the Black/White (aka Playoff or All-Star) XIIIs on the 26th. For a sneakerhead, there’s nothing worse than that feeling of staying up late to order or getting up early to get in line, only to find that your size is sold out. If you’d like peace of mind this time, there’s quite a selection of these on eBay right now. Here’s a direct link to the auctions. Better act now, most likely these will be going for higher prices after the release date.

Check out this hot new Nike Air Trainer 1 colorway. This pair has a white and black upper, and a matching black strap. Volt yellow accents and logos finish off the sneaker. Unfortunately, these are Euro exclusives, and most likely will not see a U.S. release anytime soon.

Today, I’ve got some much better views of the upcoming White/Black-Anthracite Air Jordan 2011. They look pretty clean in these shots. If you’re looking to cop a pair, they are scheduled for release on 2/26/2011. For those who can’t wait, most sizes are available now on ebay.
Here’s a look at the Nike Dunk Low “Pro Bowl”, created to celebrate the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl. This year, a grey and white color scheme has been used, complemented with clear blue soles. On the outer sides of each shoe, you’ll find a graphic of Hawaii, the current location of the Pro Bowl, and another Hawaiian graphic on the inner sides (can anyone identify?). The heel tab reads “Ohana”.
In past interviews, Kobe’s never been shy to admit that he would have chosen to play for Duke had he not chosen to go straight to the League. While we will never know how things would have turned out, Nike has applied this alternate reality to the Zoom Kobe VI with a special Duke colorway. Done in traditional Blue Devil form, it has a blue and black upper, finished off with a blue and white sole, and a white swoosh. The Duke Zoom Kobe VI will release on March 5.

Now your little ones can show their love for Lebron with this new Cool Grey Nike Lebron VIII colorway. This pair has a grey upper, shiny black strap, and has been finished off with a white King James logo.

Meshing the Air Jordan I and Air Jordan V, Jordan Brand has created the Air Jordan Prime V. While the shape resembles the Air Jordan I, it’s quite easy to spot out the design ques from the Vs, such as that giant reflective tongue, the lacelocks, eyelets, and of course, the icey clear netting. This pair has received the laser etching treatment, which definitely adds some flair. I’m not really big on hybrid Jordans, but they are definitely hot, and will surely do well in stores. Don’t be surprised to see a few more colorways in the near future.

The Air Jordan XII White/Black-Taxi returns once again in low top form for 2011. Quality looks to be about the same, with no noticeable changes to the construction of the sneaker. Honestly, I’m kinda surprised to see these again, especially since the 2004 low top release wasn’t that popular with sneakerheads. I’ll post the official release date in the Air Jordan Release Dates section once it becomes available.

Color: White/Black-Taxi

The Air Jordan 2011 may look very simple, but in reality, it’s a high-tech masterpiece. In this video, Jordan Brand Senior Designer Tom Luedeke and the legendary Tinker Hatfield discuss the inspirations for the Air Jordan 2011, and the technology that went into it. The Air Jordan 2011 will release on All-Star weekend on Saturday, February 19.
Nike celebrates the Chinese Year of the Rabbit with this all-new Air Force Supreme Low colorway. Using a combination of full-grain leather and nubuck suede, this pair has a white and light grey upper, finished off with orange and blue swooshes, upholstered in a carpet-type fabric. Along with the blue laces, you’ll find a detailed graphic of a rabbit on the heel. The Year of the Rabbit Air Force 1 Supreme will release on Saturday, January 29 at House of Hoops stores. They will be limited, so don’t sleep. For those of you that are too far away from HOH, these are also available on ebay.

Check these pics of the latest Kobe VI colorway. Taking inspiration from the infamous city in California, the Orange County Kobe VIs have a gradient orange/yellow colorway, finished off with teal and black acccents, and a matching swoosh. They remind me of goldfish more than Orange County, but it’s a hot colorway nonetheless.
Tonight, we’ve got a few new pics of the Black/Bordeaux Air Jordan VII Retro, a sneaker many of you have been waiting 19 years before. Ok, so they’re a little different than the originals, but as far as I’m concerned, they are close enough. The Black/Bordeaux Air Jordan VII releases on 4/16/2011. Pics from Air Randy.
