Take a look at this special pair of Lebron VIIs, made to help Lebron celebrate the Christmas season in style. It features and upper which consists of both full-grain and patent leather, which fades from crimson red at the bottom, to black at the top. Translucent panels reveal the Flywire, which is red in color.

If you’ve been visiting the site on a regular basis, then you’ve probably seen a few of the Zoom Kobe colorways planned for release over the next year. Today, the Kobe V was officially unveiled to the public, in a very special colorway. Nike also provided all of the sneaker’s specs, just to show how much progress they’ve made since the Kobe IV. From Sneakernews.

This site mainly focuses on Air Jordans and Nikes, but I gotta keep you Adidas lovers entertained as well. Tonight, I’ve got some pics of the Brick/Black/Mahogany Culver Mid Vulcs. It has a vulcanized sole (hence the name), herringbone patterned outsole, suede upper, EVA molded sockliner, and padded tongue and collar. This colorway is scheduled to hit stores this week.
Here’s an up close look at a special pair of Air Jordan 2 Retros, made exclusively for Juwan Howard of the Dallas Mavericks. This pair has a mostly white upper, with a navy on the heels and sockliner, complemented by a 3M strip on the side. “J5”, Howard’s initial and number, has been embroidered on the side.

As some of you may be aware, there was a little confusion on the Jordan Brand web site regarding the release date for the Air Jordan XI Retro Space Jams. I just wanted to confirm (again) that the Air Jordan XI Retro Space Jams will be 12/23, two days before Christmas. Better start camping now!

Today I’ve got something that I’m sure all of you Air Max 1 fans will love. The Air Max 1 is now available for customization as part of Nike’s ID program, with a number of colors.

One look, and you can see that these aren’t your typical Blazers. Instead of the usual laces, this pair has been equipped with five velcro straps, all done in soft black leather. You can get these now at Kasina.
Every time a new Air Jordan model is released, Jordan Brand also designs an-new box to go with it. Today, I’ve got some pics of the box for the Air Jordan 2010. As you can see below, Jordan Brand has decided to go wtih a two-piece box, which consists of a brown housing, and a black perforated cover. Amazing how Jordan Brand always comes up with something new, even with something as simple as cardboard.

Taking design cues from its classic b-ball sneakers the Forum, Top Ten and Attitude, Adidas has created an all new sneaker called the Court Raider. The Court Raider has a leather upper, with a mesh layer underneath the stripes. The perforated vamp was taken from the Top Ten and Forum models, while the sole comes from the Attitude. This particular colorway has a white and black upper with blue stripes and logos. The Court Raider will hit stores later this month.

Here’s some pics of the latest Air Max 1 colorway, designed by the Amsterdam shop Patta, hence the nickname. The upper uses a combination of blue denim and suede, followed by a green swoosh. These should be in Nike stores now.
Last month, I posted a few pics of the Jordan Six Rings “Jordan Motorsports”, a special white and black colorway designed exclusively for the Jordan Motorsports team members. Thanks to Marqueesole, you can now get your hands on a pair of these.

Cool Grey/Neon Yellow. If you’re an Air Max 95 fan, you probably know this colorway all too well. Not only is it the most popular AM95 colorway ever, it’s also the most re-released colorway. Almost every year since its release, this sneaker has been reissued, and it sells out every time. If you missed out on the previous releases, heres another chance. The Neons will hit shelves again in January 2010, along with this matching tee.
Today we get another colorway of Bo Jackson’s classic sneaker, the Air Trainer SC. This pair has a white and grey upper, with “beet” red accents. These puppies were released today, so you should be able to get them a your local Footlocker. If not, there’s already a nice size range on ebay.
A couple of months ago, I posted a few pics of the Air Jordan 25th anniversary collection, which features Air Jordans I-XX3, all done in an all-white color scheme. Tonight, I’ve got some new, higher quality pics, straight from Jordan.
