If you caught a glimpse of our coverage of the ShoeZeum in Las Vegas, you would’ve noticed Air Jordan 4 insanity displayed all around the space. 5 pairs of ’85 originals in one display, a game-wo autographed pair in another, the uber-rare UNC colorway in another it was just a non-stop barrage of unbridled Air Jordan 4 dominance. Although we may have been a bit desensitized by the model considering Jordan Brand releases an AJ1 every month, this 2013 release will give the OG another jolt just like 2011′s Baed 1s did. This video review give a pretty nice detailed view Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 of the Air Jordan 4 ‘Black/Royal’, so check out the video and let us Nike Air Max Womens know if you’ll be copping this OG re-issue when they hit stores this early Spring.

Did you know that Air Jordan 3.5 Shawn Kemp, at age 39, attempted a comeback at basketball? This happened four years ago when he signed a contract with a team in the Italian League, but some unfortunate events involving his home and Hurricane Ike forced Kemp to retu home. That was the last comeback ever attempted by the Reign Man until Reebok decided to bring back Kemp in another form his signature shoes. It’s been a wildly popular release in 2013 thus far, and it’ll certainly continue in 2013 as we get a look at two spicy colorways in Neon/Black and a second ‘Iridescent’ colorway of the Reebok Kamikaze II. A full detailed gallery is just below so give them a review and let us know which of the two you like better.

Here’s an update on another Air Jordan 3 releases to keep your Nike Presto eye on this Black/Purple/Volt kids-only release that is set for a release sometime later this year. Kinda spiing off of the earlier “Joker” releases, this version replaces the Electric Green for a much more distinguished Volt, with hits of a lighter purple and a refreshing pink on the Jumpman logo, lace eyelets, and ier face of the tongue. The wild colorway is indeed something more Nike Free Run 3 of a sneaker-custom rather than one we’d expect from Jordan Brand, but what’s your opinion on these? Peep the full gallery Womens Nike Free Run 5 0 V2 below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release info.

Japanese retailer United Arrows comes through once again with an exceptional design on a footwear classic the Nike Superstar. Following up on their New Balance 1500 of earlier this year, United Arrows transfers the simplicity of a sandy being suede and pairs it with a smooth and creamy off-white leather. The thin roped laces total the ultimate lifestyle appeal, as seen with the cuffed khaki pants combo. United Arrows is the only place to get ‘em, so head to their online shop for an overseas order after you flip through the gallery.

The wait is over, the Air Jordan 3 (3) Retro in it’s OG colorway of White and True Blue have finally been retroed and will be available shortly at select Jordan Brand retailers. The rumor is that these will not be sold in the Nike LunarGlide 4 US and will be an Inteational Release only, but we are waiting to confirm the rumor. This pair of Retro’s are almost identical to the pair that was originally released in 1988, but of course the difference like many of the Retro Jordan III’s and IV’s is that the “Nike Air” logo on the heel has been replaced with a Jumpman logo.

Adding on to the preexisting Liberty Fabric Pack, Nike is dropping some more Womens’ Dunks using the same floral print as before. These particular models will come in Red/White and Yellow/White Nike Free 6.0 colorways. The yellow pair has the flower print on the outside of the shoe, while the reds have an ier floral lining. Nike actually purchased the fabric used in the shoes in this drop from the Liberty Fabric Company in England, famed for its high quality garments. You can get these now at select Nike dealers such as Purchaze

Hey Foamposite heads are y’all ready for another camouflage-print pair of Foams? The answer seems obvious, but considering the $235 Fighter Jets didn’t exactly have sneakerheads ruing to the stores (and some stores still have them available Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 at retail), maybe the Green Camo Foamposite Pro won’t clear out of stores as fast as we originally anticipated. However, these have a true military appeal with classic colors on the camo print and the sick Gum outsole being a nice throwback to one of the OGs in 1997, so maybe this Green Camo Pro arguable a “Camo Foamposite” done right will be a bigger hit. There’s no confirmation if this version will be the final release, but it’s a safe bet at this point. We’d like to know if the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Camo” will be a big draw, so let us know and stay tuned for more updates.

A black and red Air Jordan 11 would be an instant sell-out, correct? That might not be the exact case with the IE Lows, one of the few OG Jordans with a lukewarm following. It’s a lower-cut Air Jordan 4 with Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 vents on the upper (which might’ve served as an inspiration for the design of the Air Jordan 2011 Quick Fuse) and tumbled leather, and although the design of the shoe is rather unique, it never really captured the universal love that most other Air Jordans get. In any case, the OG colorway (with a translucent black outsole) retus as will a few new colorways, so if you never got on that XI IE Low tip, this summer’s the perfect opportunity to do so. Check out these new detailed images courtesy of AGS and let us know if you have plans of adding these to your rotation. In fact, avoid the thought process and cop a pair now on stores online.

The 2003-2004 NBA Season was the begiing to a major change for the Los Angeles franchise. It was the last season that Kobe and Shaq would be teammates, and it would be the last NBA Finals appearance for Kobe until he retued in 2008. It was also the year that Kobe consistently rocked Nike shoes, wearing the Zoom Huarache 2k4 in various PE colorways during the regular season and in Air Jordan 1 the NBA Finals the famed ’5-game sweep’ at the hands of the Detroit Pistons. Although not an original colorway of the H2K4, this Black/Yellow colorway would have cracked Kobe’s ’04 rotation due to the simple Black/Yellow colorway all it needs is a Kobe Shozoku logo on the heel! Don’t count on Bryant wearing these in the regular system because he’s got the Kobe System to support his feet, but don’t be surprised if you see these on the feet Nike Air Max Womens of his teammates!

It seems as though many sneakerheads consider the Air Jordan 11 (11) their favourite more than any other. Sure, every model from the AJIII all the way through the Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 VIII were legends in their own right, but alot of us were wearing GS sizes when those came out. It probably didn’t hurt that the Bulls won an NBA record 72 games that year, and retro releases like the Space Jams keep the legacy alive.

So does this all white pair, which looks to be taken straight from the recently showcased white-on-white 25th aiversary collection. They’re supeova-hot with tumbled leather on the heel, something we’ve not seen from an AJXI. Metallic silver comes in on the heel tab and tongue, while the midfoot carbon fiber support is black. Stuing and sickening all at once, since you are probably never goa get them. Enjoy more photos after the jump. via Kinstor.

I know what you were thinking: if New Balance were going to make a hybrid, why would they state it as though it were a collaboration?  Well, fellow sneakerhead, that’s because 686 isn’t a NB ruer, but rather a snowboarding apparel company who is, in fact collaborating with everyone’s favorite British ruing company.  The 686-designed New Balance 580s feature ya-dyed plaid panels, providing nice textures for these new black/blue and white/grey/red models.  686-branded mudguards and tongue tags round out the package for this upcoming pack.  Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more pics and release info.  via NiceKicks

If you read the last post, you already know where Dwyane Wade spent last Friday evening. As the honorary coach of the Bloom Township Blazing Trojans, D-Wade got back to his Chi-Town roots during the Bloom vs. Brother Rice Gatorade Replay game held at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. Wade was interacting with the crowd and pacing the sidelines all night in a black patent pair of the recently released Jordan L’Style II.

Vans has hit us off with so many mode classics of late, it’s easy to put their hardcore skate legacy on the back buer.  One look at these new Vans Sk8-His should to rectify your retrograde amnesia.  The All-Over Check pack reps the 80′s hard with a pair in black and white and another combining electric blue and a sort of faux-infrared.  Everything from the entire upper to the midsole, lining and laces is Nike Free Womens all covered in checks of varying sizes for a very trippy effect.   Out now, you’ll find these at retailers like Deepinsideinc.

Any model compared to 1999′s legendary ‘Wu-Tang Clan’ Nike Dunk High is done so like a double-edged sword.  One one hand, the similarity to an all-timer is flattering and can help to build interest, though some purists might be disappointed.  So what say you on this new Dunk High in this reverse Varsity Maize and black getup we might refer to as ‘Un-Wu’ or perhaps ‘Uw-Tang’.  No matter the name, this is a shoe that’ll draw looks from those in the know, not to mention the attention-grabbing appeal of the high-contrast colorway.  Click though to see more and look for these at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Switzerland’s Titolo.

Sneaker News just showed you the Quickstrike release of a black and red Nike Pre Montreal Racer colorup, and the other originals are right around the coer with the rest of the lead pack.  This is a five-man relay team all incorporating Nike Sportswear’s VNTG pre-yellowing to great effect, the quintet roughly split between high-contrast colorways and those that rely on a tonal approach to their colorblocking.  We’ll start with the OGs, which include the USA edition as well as the Oregon Ducks-inspired Gorge Green and Yellow Orchid combo.  Somewhere in the middle is a nice black and grey look, and then we move toward a study of textural contrasts with Violet Pop, Fresh Mint, and your basic Black/White ruing the anchor leg.  NSW nails another vintage look by covering the whole spectrum from old school to current trends; only question is, which pair(s) will you lock up now at Nikestore?
 

It’s hard to describe A$AP Rocky’s rise to fame over the past few Nike Presto years as anything but meteoric. He went from cultivating a solid crew of friends into a hip-hop collective and dropping high-end fashion references to now collaborating with global brands behind his number one album. NYFW is upon us, and Mens Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Nike recently held an event at their SoHo store for the upcoming Jeremy Scott x ASAP Rocky Nike Originals collection.

We’re seeing a huge influx of red, white and blue sneakers for the Olympic summer, designs referencing both the United States and its past glories, as well as those designs inspired by this year’s host nation.  The first from Off the Wall is this 430 BMX x Vans Japan capsule leaning more on the latter side, a couple of Far East action sports conces coming together to craft a trio of London-flavored red-and-white-accented navy blue silos.  The Vans Sk8-Mid, Chukka Low and what’s likely a San Lucas slide have been blocked identically and each feature 430 branding on the footbed; do any of these stand out enough to warrant importing them upon next month’s release? via Unbar

Tinker Hatfield recently made a visit to Sole Fly in Miami for ‘askTinker‘, a Q&A session with the greatest performance footwear designer of all time. There’s a lot to lea from someone who basically laid the blueprint for the entire sneaker game, and the attendees most certainly left with a bit of extra Nike and Jordan Brand history known to just a few.

For those of you who were unable to attend the event, Sneaker Box Clyde has the entire askTinker session up on video, so continue reading to catch the entire three-part series and be prepared to take some notes!

They’re so nice, even Kanye looks amazed! Here we have yet another closer look at the Nike Air Yeezy 2 in the Black/Pink colorway, unhindered by the flashing lights of a concert stage. Almost instantly you’ll notice the rich green hue emanating from the forefoot outsole, but perhaps that too is the product of the sun-less NYC daytime, bringing out the naturally darker tones. When we showed you these earlier today and last Nike Free 6.0 night, the outsole appeared to be a solid white with just a slight tinge of the minty green. Until we see detailed angles of the shoe, we won’t be able to fully determine the nature of the color, but for now, enjoy this new set of images of Kanye out and about NYC wearing what is likely the most anticipated shoe of the near future that’s if a release happens. via bauergriffin.

Has the excitement of the Air Yeezy 2 subsided yet? According to one t-shirt designer, not quite. Here’s a look Nike Dunk SB Mens at an Air Yeezy 2 t-shirt designed ‘all-over’ style, which should serve as a throwback to the late-2000′s era of similarly designed t-shirts; it’s got the Wolf Grey/Pure Platinum Yeezy 2s in a cascade of re-prints that spill over the edges of the sleeves, neck, and waist, but the design is rather demure compared to the asking price, which sits at a price tag of $90,300. It’s certainly a ‘What The Yeezy?’ as any other, but the seller notes that his price is negotiable because he will entertain ‘best offers’. Obviously, 90k for a unofficial Nike t-shirt is too high to be taken seriously, but the creator of the t-shirt, Wilfry, also made a recent splash for his ‘Art by Art Jacobs’ t-shirt, which became one of the more humorous stories in urban fashion circles a few months ago. More of this Yeezy 2 t-shirt below, and let us know what your true appraisal value of this t-shirt is and if you’d cop with a workable pricetag!

 

Madden takes the cake when it comes to sales, but for quite a few years ruing now, the NBA 2K franchise has been praised by gamers and critics alike as topping the charts with respect to pure gameplay.  The game continues to look better every single year too, and a recent big aesthetic boost came with the introduction of the entire Air Jordan Legacy for last year’s Michael Jordan-heavy release.  NBA 2K12 arguably makes an even bigger leap this time around with the inclusion of a huge array of kicks from Jordan, Nike, Nike Free Run, Reebok and Nike.  The array is extensive in both breadth and chronology, with a great example demonstrated by the Nike LeBron series.  You can pick from all of LeBron’s signatures plus the Soldier series, the new PS and V/2 lines, even the 20-5-5!  All of this Air Jordan 4 selection wrapped in a Foot Locker-branded package makes us very excited about this title, fellow sneakerheads, and it opens up a tantalizing range of possibilities for future games.  You can see a video ruing through a selection of the variety after the jump; are there any notable omissions you’d want to see added, perhaps via DLC?
 

LeBron James’ ‘Hardwood Classic’ PEs toyed with the minds of Knicks fans through the entire LeBron x Cleveland era, but since the move to Miami, the Blue/Orange colorway has been completely abandoned (save the LeBron 9 ‘China’ release). During Tuesday night’s game between the Heat and Nets, LeBron James matched the Heat’s ‘Hardwood Classic’ Miami Floridian uniforms with a new PE of the Nike LeBron 9 a fresh White/Pink/Orange colorway with the Foamposite-like material on Air Jordan 6 the upper to match the Retro-styled throwback jerseys. We’ve got some in-game action shots of LeBron and his new PEs after the jump so check ‘em out and let us know what you think of the latest installment of the Nike LeBron ‘HWC’ saga. via ESPN
