Tonight we have a look at the Nike Kobe 9 Kay Yow “Think Pink”, a special colorway created to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Sporting a pink upper, black has been used on the tongue and midsole. Metallic silver graphics add some extra flavor, while dotted laces and pink speckles across the midsole finish things off. Nike typically creates two or three sneakers each year for this special cause, but this is certainly one of the best ones we’ve seen so far. It’s uncertain if Nike plans to release things, but let’s keep our fingers crossed that they do.

Air Jordan 1 Hyperfuse? That’s right. Jordan Brand has incorporated Nike’s highly-revered material to create what is easily the most unique reincarnation of the Air Jordan 1 to date. The classic design we’ve known for three decades has been fully constructed of Hyperfuse material, leaving a seamless, netted look. Despite the high-tech upgrade, it appears that the original sole remains intact. The revision to the upper should still net a significant weight savings. Very little is known about this sneaker so far, but expect an update in the upcoming weeks. What are your thoughts about the Air Jordan 1 Hyperfuse? Please share below.

After 18 years, it looks like Jordan Brand is finally giving the Air Jordan 13 “Grey Toe” a release it deserves. For those not aware, the Grey Toe 13s were planned as an original colorway during the model’s original release, but were scrapped in favor of the White/Varsity Red colorway, rumored to comply with NBA uniform restrictions enforced at the time. A few samples were released, but mostly in kids sizes. It wasn’t until 2005 that Jordan Brand finally made an effort to give the Grey Toe Air Jordan 13 a public release. Unfortunately, this release featured a crimson, or “Team Red” suede in instead of the Varsity Red, and was notorious for its “bleeding ink”, which, if not stored upside down, would turn the outsole pink. Yuck.
Just recently, images of this sample surfaced, which is believed to represent a planned 2014 version of the sneaker. This version appears true to the original unreleased version, red suede and all. At the moment, very little is known about the sneaker, but let’s keep our fingers crossed that these make it to production with no changes.

When it was first released back in 2006, the Jordan Spiz’ike reception was basically love it or hate it. While that perception still exists to an extent, but the Spike Lee-inspired sneaker has withstood the test of time (and angry sneakerheads), earning a re-release of it’s very first colorway. Featuring a bright white upper with red and green accents, this colorway is sure to get more attention than it did even 8 years ago. The White/Varsity Red-Cement Grey Jordan Spizike releases Saturday alongside the Air Jordan VI Spizike, retailing for $175.
