Air Jordan XI’s ‘Space Jam’
Dec 17
With the popularity of the Nike Air Max 90 Infrareds, Nike Sportswear has given the Nike Air Max 90 a different tone, resulting in the Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 Premium LE Women’s in neutral grey/white-black-clear mint. The shoe uses a variety of materials, including grey mesh, black and grey suede, and a clear swoosh. The grey and black upper is contrasted by a white midsole and mint Air Max unit. This shoe will be available next January, so be patient.
2009 has been the year of the Air Jordan I (1). The Air Jordan I (1) High Strap was introduced and will celebrate the Holiday season in a Black/Black–Orion scheme and Black/Black – Voltage style. The model’s upper features textured accents, a premium leather base, and an ankle strap for improved fit. The black/black-voltage version will release on October 1 and the black/black-orion joint will hit on November 1. Both will retail for $110 and be available at most Jordan Brand accounts. By far, one of THE most comfortable shoes. Via Sneakerfiles.
Here’s the first look at the Air Jordan Fusion 13.
The combination is what most of us would have expected, the AJ13 upper combined with the AF1 sole. The black and red version features a unique application of suede that actually wraps around a good portion of the midsole. Look for these to hit retailers this fall. Via SneakerNews
There once was a time when clashing was considered taboo, but in this day and age, it’s becoming an artform. Nike has recognized this trend and responds with the Clash Pack, a new collection that features an interesting mix of colors applied to the Blazer High, Aero Flight High and Court Force High. All three feature some combination of Glass Blue and Voltage Yellow with additional Red and White accents thrown in to further spice things up. A pattern that resembles the veins of leaves can be found on the Blazer and Court Force. The Court Force High, along with the Aero Flight, also sports some Metallic Silver polka-dots on various sections. Despite the color similarities, the three models each have a look all their own and will all make for some pretty bold looks when they start dropping in early July. Via SoleCollector.
There’s a bunch of Dunk models from the Nike’s upcoming East vs. West project by DJ Clark Kent and Eddie Cruz. This latest offering is also reppin’ for the East and is arguably the best colorway I’ve seen in this series. The kicks sport a variety of premium-looking materials and earthy shades of green on the upper, and like some of the other East vs. West Dunks, they also feature a speckled print on the brown midsole. Similar to the Swan/Volt Dunk High from a few weeks ago, these also have the hat with legs and a stop-watch character on the insole. This fresh Dunk High is slated for a December release, so be sure to check out some more pics after the jump while you’re waiting. Via FootLockerUnlocked.
In a couple of weeks, Nike will dro
p this exclusive pair of Blazers.
What makes this basic Black/White colored Blazer different you ask? It features a tonal screen printed graphic pattern throughout the base. Minimal white details are located on the swoosh, toe cap and the top of the heel panel. The color scheme is very basic, yet it still contains a nice, stylish style to it. As stated earlier, this Blazer High drops at all three House of Hoops locations on June 4th, 2009. Click the jump to view additional photos. Info via NiceKicks

It seems as though Jordan Brand has an endless supply of hybrid/fusion sneakers in store for us (when I say ‘us’ I mean my fellow sneakerheads) in the upcoming months including this new Air Jordan Flight 45 model. Though the complete list of sneakers from which this pair was inspired is not yet known, components of the Air Jordan 3 (III) can readily be seen via the sole and the typical AJ3 black/cement colorway. This Air Jordan Flight 45 features a black perforated leather upper accented by a strap, cement print, a red Jumpman on the tongue, and a grey outsole. Possible release date August 1, 2009.
