Nike Roshe Run – Orange “Leopard”
The Nike Roshe Run has already carved out a nice niche in the casual world and it’s unparalleled look gets even more unique with the addition of an Orange Leopard print. The shoe goes with a traditional feline inspired mesh upper that is accompanied by a gum outsole and is finished off with a hit of neon with the Swoosh located on the toe. These bad boys are expected to hit stores for a Spring/Summer release, but it is unbeknownst as to the gender of the style (as if that
Nike Trainer Clean Sweep Low
The Retro-inspired Nike Trainer Clean Sweep design was one of the underrated highlights of the NSW line-up in 2012. A slew of clean high-top colorways are already on their way for this season, but Nike’s ready to present a sleek low-top version as well if the higher cut is not your thing. This first look at the Nike Trainer Clean Sweep Low reveals a seamless transition of heights, with the bulk of the design detail maintaining a consistency from High to Low
Nike Air Foamposite One “Black/Gold” Customs by Sole Swap
Nike Air Foamposite One
Is there anything Jason Negron and the Sole Swap team can’t do with a Foamposite pair? Doesn’t seem like it, as his nonstop output has covered everything from graphic applications to straight up color injections. This pair is one of his cleaner ones in recent memory, upgrading the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Stealth’ release with a gaudy gold touch that runs along the previously icy outsole.

Nike Field General Free
The Nike SFB is one of Nike’s most emphatic ‘niche’ shoes. Outside of being worn by the members of our nation’s Armed Forces, the Special Forces Boot has been been appreciated by a select crowd of Nike-ites, with the quirky Tinker Hatfield himself drawing inspiration from the shoe and implementing it on the super high-top Air Jordan XX8. In a rather interesting development, Nike gives the SFB a lifestyle twang with the all new Nike Field General Free,
Air Jordan V GS – Black – Pink – Orange
It seems as if the Air Jordan V retro will stick to original colorways in 2013 save for the kids sizes, which continue to be equipped with their own exclusive, and generally brighter, schemes. This preview promises yet another full of light colors, as the sneakers cram in bits of pink and orange on the sole kit and tongue to spice up the otherwise pretty standard blacked out upper. Continue reading to get the full preview and tell us in the comments if the Air
Nike Lunar TR1 NOR “Super Bowl”
Nike Lunar TR1 NOR
Nike has a little bit of special footwear that’s set to launch on Super Bowl Sunday-the Nike Lunar TR1 NOR pictured above being a key player in the capsule. The sneakers don a yellow and purple colorway, a flashy combo that seems to have been selected to match the glitz of the New Orleans locale. What’s more they come with a few ’2013' details along with the mantra “Justice Power Faith” on the inside of the tongue. Continue reading to get the full look and

Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ – New Colorways
Earlier this week Nike officially unveiled the next sneaker in the Flyknit legacy – the Lunar-cushionined Nike Flyknit Lunar1+. We previewed a slew of colorways that are currently set for a release in mid-February, but it looks an entirely new library of Flyknit Lunar1+ releases are also in store for the Spring 2013 season. Remember, Nike wasn’t shy at all when it dropped the debut of the Flyknit Racer/Trainer, so there certainly won’t be a colorway you
Nike Lebron 10 “Area 72″ Packaging
Nike Sportswear introduced the Galaxy concept for last year’s All Star theme and they’re continuing the galactic inspired silhouettes, by using Extraterrestrials as the theme for this year’s All Star Collection. Seen here is the Lebron 10 from the “Area” 72 Pack, sporting speckled 3M on the uppers, Metallic Purple, Red accents and a crackled midsole for that “Planet” feel. One of the unique aspects about the upcoming “Area 72? pack, is the unique packaging that
Nike Air Foamposite One PRM “Fighter Jet” – New Images
After a bit of a cool down following the Black Friday ‘Stealth’ drop, the Nike Air Foamposite One is ready to make a big impact on 2013. Sneaker News scooped you on the ‘Phoenix Suns’ and all-white editions’ March release dates earlier this month (and might the ‘Knicks’ colorup join them?), and now we’re just over a week away from the first Foam Ones of the year. The ‘Fighter Jet’ Foamposite One Premium will be joined by an Air Force 1
Nike Zoom Revis “Knicks vs. Nets”
Although the Nike Zoom Revis has been incredibly popular across the nation, there’s no doubt that the shoe has a New York state of mind. It wouldn’t be long before the Revis took form of another sports team in the NYC area, with this sick duet of colorways dubbed the “Knicks vs Nets” embodying the newfound rivalry between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets; each pair is inspired by each of the two teams, and with the Knicks and Nets placed right next
Nike Kobe 8 iD “Year of the Snake” Teaser
Sneakertherapy regarding the Nike Kobe 8 iD keeps coming, as just a day after the #COUNTONKOBEiD contest kicked off, we get a glimpse at a new range of possibilities. As always, it’s your choice of colors that creates these one of one designs, be it a traditional Lakers ‘Home’ look as in the case of the contest requirements, or something a little different courtesy of these new Year of the Snake options. Eschewing the more overt serpentine appeal,
Nike Air Waffle Trainer – Sport Grey – White – Black
Two of Nike Running’s early innovations come together as the Nike Air Waffle Trainer presents a new colorway for spring 2013. This recent introduction with vintage styling has mostly kept things subdued, and has arguably never been more so than in this combination of white, Sport Grey and Black. Another one of those can’t miss greyscale looks that combines timeless style with effortless wardrobe anchoring, you can see the latest Air Waffle Trainer in
Nike Hybred Boot “Matte Olive”
Following up on the Midnight Fog debut comes the second Nike Hybred Boot release. This Matte Olive suede makeup sticks with a black Swoosh to give us a supremely wearable design that both falls within traditional skate norms and reflects the era of its conception. The minimalist design on these is something like Nike SB’s answer to the Sportswear division’s surprise hit Roshe Run; could we be witnessing the early days of a similar rise from sleeper to

Air Jordan VI “Black/Infrared” OG
Until the Air Jordan VI comes back however many years down the line with ‘Nike Air’ on the back in retro form (you know you’re hoping for it), you’ll have to do some digging if you want a pair with that branding. This time around Sneakertherapy did the digging for you. On display is an original, 1991 pair of the Air Jordan VI ‘Infrared’ complete with the lacelocks and the Flight Club inserts that came packaged with it. Continue reading to check out
Nike Air Force 1 High – Wolf Grey – Hyper Red
Few Nike colors have been as hot so far in 2013 as Hyper Red. Especially when paired with greys (as on this spring’s ‘Fighter Jet’ Air Foamposite One, Flyposite and Blazer drops), the vibrant and aggressive shade packs an extra punch. That makes this Wolf Grey leather Nike Air Force 1 High come alive, the super clean two-tone mix just enough different from the traditional Varsity, Team or Sport Reds to turn heads. Let us know what you think after
Nike Zoom Hyperdisruptor – Vivid Sulfur – Electric Yellow
Another example of its explosive design being treated to a monochromatic colorway, the Nike Zoom Hyperdisruptor moves down from the -800s into the -700 color family for an equally explosive result. After touching down in in Total Orange over the weekend, this incredible mix of lightweight breathability and low block-ready robustness lives up to the shades Vivid Sulfur and Electric Yellow. Nike Basketball hasn’t issued a ton of all-yellow releases over the

Air Jordan 9 Retro – Black – Neon
The Air Jordan 9 was developed with a sense of harmony and balance. The shoe intended to borrow aspects and ideals from other sources to create a balance that would be represented on Michael’s feet. The IX uses a speed lacing system, features a Japanese inspired design, and the outsole lists MJ’s attributes in 6 different languages. The AJ9 was an all around performer known for it’s versatility and clean look. The XX8 Days Of Flight celebrates the 9th day with a black and
Air Jordan 1 High OG – White – Navy
As each day passes, getting a look at an OG pair of Air Jordan 1 becomes increasingly rare. The simple yet avant garde design of the AJ1 allowed to serve as a palette for designers to experiment with many color schemes. Many different colorways were sampled and released for the Jordan 1. Here we see the simple but clean white and navy colorway. The version held up pretty well as the only major signs of aging is some minor cracks in the leather as well as light yellowing on the
Air Jordan 5 Retro “UNDFTD” Custom by Mache
When we talk about UNDFTD and Jordan Brand, the only silhouette that comes to mind is the Air Jordan 4 UNDFTD, Which only a handful of individuals own. Mache’s looking to change that by customizing a pair of Olive 5's and giving them the same theme as the rare gem. Black and White midsoles are added on this custom masterpiece, with Black tones featured on the tongue. Let us know what you think about these Air Jordan 5 customs.

Nike Zoom Kobe 8 EXT – Black Year of the Snake
The Nike Zoom Kobe 8 EXT is made for off the court wear and the “Black Mamba” version is made to celebrate the Year of the Snake. This version of the shoe goes with a black snake skin upper, with the scale effect appearing more realistic thanks to using a synthetic skin rather than a graphic. Leather is used on the Swoosh as well as the heel counter, and the sole contrasts things nicely with a blue tinted translucent offering. These will be available when the rest of the Year
Nike Lebron 10 Low – Blue – Volt
On the heels of the announcement of the Nike LeBron 10 Low “Easter” is a picture of another variation of the lowtop sig sporting a Hornets-esque blue, teal, and volt colorway. This version of the shoe cements the fact that this will be the final design for the low, which will feature an exposed FlyWire design. With the low cut nature of the shoe it has become a Summertime staple so expect these to be released in a few months.

Nike Lunar Force 1 High – Blue – Grey – Red
It was only a matter of time until we saw the first few colorways of one of Nike’s latest re-makes of a classic, the Lunar Force 1 and today, we take a look at the High version of this hybrid in full detail. Seen here is a Blue, Grey and Red colorway, sporting metallic uppers, speckled midsoles and a red bottom. Look out for these to release sometime this Spring at Nike Sportswear accounts across the U.S.

Nike Lunar Force 1 “Oreo”
The Nike Lunar Force 1 certainly hasn’t been afraid to get outfitted with some more unorthodox colorways during its young life. No doubt the most exciting on the horizon is the Nike Lunar Force 1 ‘All-Star’, but just in case that special edition is a little over the top for your tastes then there’s this. The pair goes with an ‘Oreo’ looking black and white formula that picks up some speckling for the Nike Lunar midsole cushioning. Continue reading

Air Jordan 4 “Red Suede” – Release Date
A red suede Air Jordan 4 was first spotted on Carmelo Anthony’s feet a few months ago, and we had word that a similar version will make it into retailers in 2013. The main difference from Melo’s and the production version is the different color blocking midsole. The all-red suede upper will sure to be a hit when it releases.
Mark your calendars because the Air Jordan 4 “Red Suede” has a release date on October 26, 2013. Let us know in the comment section below if this AJ4 is a must cop

Nike Air Force 1
Following up on the successful launch of ?uestlove’s early 2011 collaboration, Nike Sportswear issued a bunch of additional Dunk High ACs. Patterned after the VNTG Blazer, the Autoclaved Dunk High switched soles and Swooshes to look more like the original Beaverton court kicks than the ‘Be True’ college basketballer we’ve come to know and love. It looks like the only other NSW classic that has surpassed the Dunk in terms of enduring relevance and

Air Jordan IV “Yeezy 2″ Customs by Noldo
Air Jordan IV
With the Air Jordan III outsole in use for the original Air Yeezy, some guessed that the Yeezy 2 would feature the bottom base of the Air Jordan IV. In retrospect, an Air Jordan IV outsole on the Air Yeezy 2 would’ve worked out amazingly, with this custom pair of IVs-turned-Ye giving us some insight as to how it would’ve turned out. Check out the gallery of this custom job done by Noldo below, and if you’re interested in purchasing, these are up for grabs from

Air Jordan 5 – Black Suede – White – Sample
From PE’s to Blacked out Samples, The Air Jordan 5 Retro has been making headlines ever since it’s last consecutive run in 2011 and they continue to roll in this month, with an all suede colorway. The sample we see here sports an all suede upper with white midsoles displays black speckles, white laces and a 3M tongue. These Joints are also finished with a Blacked out Sole which is pretty rare considering that most soles are clear. Let us know if you’d cop these if
Nike Air Max 95 EM “Honolulu”
Nike Sportswear continues to shell silhouettes from the upcoming Nike Air Max “City Pack”, that kicked off with the Air Max 90 “Tianjin” last year. The special pack is made of several Air Max models that represent cities like Honolulu, Tokyo, New York, London and a few more we’ve yet to uncover. Seen here is the Honolulu colorway, sporting a Navy-esque colorway with black accents and small orange hints. Let us know if you’ll be picking these up.

Air Jordan 6 Retro – Black – Neon
Every shoe in the Air Jordan line can be described as a landmark shoe for one reason or another but the Air Jordan 6 holds special appeal in Mike’s heart because it’s the shoe he was rocking when he first became an NBA champion. The 6 took a drastic design turn from the AJ5 sporting a unique paneled upper and a huge, double cut-out tongue. The silhouette gave designers many options to play with in terms of color placement and was known for it’s shade of infrared. The XX8
Nike Kobe 8 – Grey – Volt
Kobe Bryant’s eighth shoe has shown incredible promise with the incredible colorways that we’ve been previewing thus far. Not that the Kobe line has any business being on a proving ground of any kind, the fact is that the VII was a bit of a downer and at the outset, the Kobe 8 didn’t seem that much of a departure for basketball fans to give the shoe its undivided attention. Lunar and Engineered Mesh is certainly a departure from a structural standpoint,
Nike Officially Unveils The Flyknit Lunar1+
Nike pushed boundaries with the introduction of FlyKnit technology last year. The process of creating a full knitted upper from a spool helped create arguably the most popular overall shoe of 2012 and spawning a new format for creating sneakers. The FlyKnit Lunar1 + takes on the task of providing the everyday runner the comfort and feel of the FlyKnight Racer which was tailored more to the running style of marathoners. Aside from the technical benefits the shoe provides, it is

The Nike Lunar Force 1 piece of the 2013 BHM Collection was curiously left out of the release this past weekend, but an updated release date of February 2nd, this Saturday, immediately followed. That extra breathing room between must-have releases certainly helps the cause, as this fresh set of detailed images reveals the true beauty of this great composition, with the translucent outsole revealing quite the impressive graphic on the bottom sole.

Nike Air Trainer SC High “Auburn” – Release Date
He’s baaack (yet again). The original ‘Auburn’ colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC High is back for another round at retail, joining the impressive collection of Trainer/Turf Retros to have enjoyed the limelight during the 2012-2013 NFL season. The Air Trainer SC High, of course, was made for the multi-sport phenom Bo Jackson, who was the chosen face of the heralded Nike Training department since the late 80's; in fact, all of the new-generation Trainers
Nike Kobe 8 – Green – Yellow – Purple
The Nike Kobe 8 is a sneaker that seems disenterested in any sort of straightforward colorblocking for the time being. The recent Christmas pair went with a ton of different colors crammed into its scaly upper and the forthcoming ‘All-Star’ will get even crazier with its planetary swirl. Moving things forward in that tradition is another upcoming Nike Kobe 8 shown here, one which fades in between three colors horizontally across the upper. Continue reading

Air Jordan XIII Retro “He Got Game”
Spike Lee struck again when he displayed these Air Jordan XIIIs as the object of Jake Shuttlesworth’s affection in the film ‘He Got Game’. Denzel’s character, fresh out of prison on a mission to convert his son’s college hoops decision, cops the Air Jordan XIII and wear them proudly throughout the film, so the ‘He Got Game’ moniker followed suit not long after. These were in fact part of the Collezione Package of 2008 (some consider this the best
Nike Air Max 95 EM – Dark Grey – Orange – Cement
Following its introduction in the original ‘Neon’ colorway, the Nike Air Max 95 EM will indeed don a few more recently developed palettes. Pictured here is an orange and grey combo that’s on its way, one which abandons the gradient look up top for a simple two tone grey fade. Also of note is the speckling that lines the midsole, a little detail that has no doubt pushed folks to purchase plenty of times in the past. Continue reading for the full preview
Nike Cheyenne 2013 OG
Despite its name suggesting an upcoming debut, the Nike Cheyenne 2013 made its first appearance last October with a LIVESTRONG 15th anniversary colorway that released just one day after Nike parted ways with Lance Armstrong. That widely overlooked design might turn out to be a highly valued collectors item given its context and the extremely limited numbers released. Either way, the Cheyenne 2013 figures to make its presence felt this year with highly wearable
Nike WMNS Roshe Run “Pink Force”
Look for Nike Sportswear’s minimalist zen master to show off some uncharacteristic excitement in the coming months, as we start to get into a significant number of patterned Nike Roshe Run colorways. WMNS Roshe Runs were the first to go past the simple two-toned approach, and this latest ladies look is one of the most visually engaging we’ve seen thanks to a Pink Force print that’s somewhere between splatter and camo.

The 5 pack from Nike features a Barkleyposite, a Vandal Hi, a Lunar Force 1 , a Blazer Mid, and lastly the Nike Air Force Max.

The pair was signed by Kanye on the lateral heel of the right shoe in silver marker, and there appears to be a mysterious small logo that accompanies his
Jordan Ace 23 – University Blue – Black – Poison Green
For Jordan Brand to be successful for many years down the line, it can’t all be about Retros and basketball kicks. That’s a major reason why the ‘Trunner’ concept was first born in the early 2000's andw hy models like the Ace 23 continue to be pushed out, and with a name like ‘Ace’, it’s clear that these are meant to be an off-the-court casual sneaker – or what many call ‘tennis shoes’. This University Blue/Poison Green colorway does add

Nike Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire – Black – Grey
Each of the Nike Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire colorways featured on Sneaketherapy since last fall’s revelation has featured a play on the OG grey-dient made immortal eighteen years ago by the original ‘Neon’ release. That’s also true of this latest drop, but you’ll notice that it has a different finish thanks to the reliance upon a black base tone and zero color pops on the airbag, branding or Flywire like the earlier drops. The lowest-key of all the AM 95 DYNs we’ve seen to date,

Among the most popular sneakers appropriated for formal events was 2009's ‘Tuxedo Prom Pack’ Air Jordan 1 Low.

This black leather pair will be joined by a white edition that uses the same leather textures, to create some of the cleanest AJ1s on record and a couple of extremely wearable spring shoes.

Nike Air Force 1 High “Year of the Snake” – Available Early on eBay
Nike Sportswear pulled no punches with using snakeskin for this year’s Year of the Snake capsule, with the increased surface area on the Air Force 1 High allowing for more ‘snake’ than any other shoe of the Collection. This high-top combines three different prints of the slithery material on the ankle-strap, toe-box, and upper panel, with a Black/Red/Purple colorway anchoring the primary base. A U.S. release date hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but you
Air Jordan 1 – White/Navy Jumpman Logo Sample
A lot of debate has been going on regarding Nike Air vs. Jumpman on the heel of the Air Jordan III. How about this funky sample of a Jumpman logo that features a photo-realistic image of Michael’s iconic mid-air pose? The 2001 release of the Air Jordan 1 Mid in White/Navy flirted with the idea of going the extra step with Jumpman (as seen in the photos), but that idea was scrapped in favor a white embroidered version. Your thoughts on this sick sample?
OG Air Jordan VI “Infrared” Available on Ebay
What if MJ got drafted by another team? We wouldn’t be privy to as many black and red combo’s unless he went #2 to the Blazers (where he probably would have gotten hurt) but thankfully the Bulls took him at 3 and the rest was history. The Air Jordan 6 had the distinct hue of Infrared on the away model and that accent along with an clear sole and unique features like the windows on the tongue and lacelocks made them a great shoe for casual wear. For those interested in
Jordan Brand “Year of the Snake” Pack – Release Date
The special edition “Year of the Snake” pack is set to drop on February 2nd. The 2-pack will include YOTS versions of both the Air Jordan 1 and the Jordan Melo M9. The Special Box releases on February 2nd, priced at $300. The Air Jordan features a multi-color upper that includes patent leather panels and Swoosh as well as a gradient midsole that fades from lime green all the way to dark purple in the heel. The Melo M9 also gets a rainbow upper with a heat pattern going from
Nike WMNS Free TR Fit 3 “Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2013″
A second release from the Nike Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2013 set is upon is, taking shape in the recently introduced Nike WMNS Free TR Fit 3. Using a gradient white/pink upper with a turquoise midsole, the Free TR Fit 3 engages in some high intensity colorways yet again (it seems like this shoe was meant for high-octane combos!). The flower logo, like the Roshe Run Woven, is located on the heel of the shoe as well. A gallery is just below so take a look below because these are
Nike Blazer Mid “Area 72″
If you’re still not sure what the significance behind “Area 72? is, don’t look any further than the Nike Blazer (not that you could). Area 72 is a combination of Area 51, the government research locale that dabbles in the investigation of unidentified flying objects and beings of outer space, and the year 1972, which is the when Nike created its first basketball shoe; Area 72 also serves as the title of this amazing capsule, which includes the Blazer and
Nike Air Force 1 Low – White – Black Elephant Print
Following up on our exclusive previews of Summer 2013 Nike Air Force 1 releases is another elephant-print Air Force 1 in a simple Black/White colorway. The highlight is, of course, the black-on-black material on the heel panel, taking on that ‘Black Flip’ approach with a tonal-white toe-box. With elephant print no longer a specialty detail and now a standard in NSW footwear, does this hint at elephant print taking form in other models – perhaps the OG Air
Nike Air Penny 5 “Invisibility Cloak” – Release Date
Just when we thought the Penny V “Cloak” was scrapped, sources hit us with a Release Date for these upcoming Penny’s that release in the first week of March. The new silhouette has gained much popularity of the past few months and Nike Sportswear continues to shell out the colorways for the new year. The Cloak Penny 5 releases on March 2nd, 2013 at a retail price of $150 so if you picked up the Kobe VII last year, these are surely a must have. Let us know if you’ll be
Nike WMNS Air Max 90 Premium EM
The women will not be left out from the influx of new Air Max models hitting the market. The Air Max 90 has several women’s colorways that had the men looking for size conversion charts and this EM version will probably be no different. This color combo is reminiscent of the original white, pink, and blue classic that was a staple in women’s and men’s closets during the 90's. The shoe starts off with a white 3M base and mixes in neon pink throughout with a reflective silver
Nike Vandal High “Area 72″
One word that can sum up the Nike Sportswear 2013 All-Star Pack: Surprising. The decision to go full force with Barkley models might not have been expected, but it’s the comeback of a rather overlooked model from the 80's hoops catalog in the Nike Vandal that is equally shocking. Originating in 1985, the Nike Vandal was like a revision of the Air Force 1, arriving in leather and mesh forms and popping up on our news-feed in what were admittedly some boring
Nike Air Force 1 Low – White – Black Elephant Print
Following up on our exclusive previews of Summer 2013 Nike Air Force 1 releases is another elephant-print Air Force 1 in a simple Black/White colorway.

Nike Air Max 1 2013 “USATF”
In celebration of the successes of the Nike Air Max running series and USA Track and Field over the past quarter-century or so, Nike Sportswear is pairing some of its most storied silhouettes to cushioning updates courtesy of the Air Max 2013. This ‘USATF’ Nike Air Max 1 2013 Quickstrike takes the gold with a Desert Yellow shade cast on the original visible Air release, adding the AM2013's flexible full-length bag for a past-inside-the-present look the
Nike Sportswear “Area 72″ Raygun Collection
Nike Sportswear’s 2013 NBA All-Star collection features three classics, one updated icon and a brand new hybrid. There’s an undertone of evolution/progression as we start with the first ever Nike Basketball shoe and move forward along the timeline to find phosphorescent accents lending a spacey edge to the rest of the pack. With a concept that pulls together last year’s space theme with this year’s ASG site in Houston along with references to

Nike Huarache Turf LAX – Grey – Volt
The Nike Huarache Turf LAX made quite the timely arrival as new team-based colorways began hitting stores as lacrosse players nationwide begin prepping for the Spring season. This new colorway if Grey/Volt isn’t quite the team version, but something more along the lines of Nike colorway heritage as Grey/Volt has become signature ‘Nike’ for almost two decades. While these are targeted to the LAX audience, these are completely viable selections for general

Nike P-Rod 5 LR – Black – Crystal Mint
Nike P-Rod 5 LR
Just under a year after its release, the Nike P-Rod 5 LR reprises the black/mint look with which it debuted. This latest release differs from the initial drop by blacking out the leather Swoosh atop a suede upper and extending the Crystal Mint shade from tongue and heel branding to the ankle collar. This serves as a cue for the eye to follow along and find the Paul Rodriguez signature tag that replaced the more generic Nike and Swoosh as still seen on the heel, so

Air Jordan 5 “Grape” Retro – Available Early
The Air Jordan 5 “Grape” is by far one of 2013's most anticipated sneakers of the year and while most of us are content with our 2006 pair, there’s nothing like an Icy pair fresh out the factory. These Grape’d out retro’s are from the original Air Jordan 5 line up that released in 1990 and would be the 2nd time they see a retro release. You can wait until Summertime for these or You Can Buy Them Now

Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” – Available
Nothing beats an original. The Air Jordan 5 has seen the “Fire Red” version retro, but a las we had to make due with a pair that lacked the ever popular Nike Air that graces the heel. The OG version of the shoe was the first model to feature MJ’s number with a stitched “23? featured” on the rear lateral panels of the sneaker. Before retro cards, this shoe came packaged with a Flight Collection card and comes in a Nike Air branded box. If you need a pair of OG’s to
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Oregon” – Available on Ebay
As the legacy of the Oregon football team begins a new chapter with the exit of head coach Chip Kelly, one of the last Air Jordan PE’s to be given to the team under his watch surfaces. The Air Jordan 4 gets fitted with OU colors in this player exclusive that gets things started with a black tumbled leather upper. The metallic forest green heel plate hosts the most recognizable feature of this shoe, the metallic silver “O” that is the centerpiece of the sneaker. For those
Nike Air Force 1 Low – White on White Perf
It seems practically unthinkable when you consider the fame of the white-on-whites and sheer number of other Nike Air Force 1 Low motifs that we’ve never seen the most popular Uptown in perforated leather. But each of the white leather AF1 Lows that’ve preceded this perfed-out edition have featured at least one accent color (be careful and shop with reputable sources; a fake similar to these has been floating around on the shady parts of the net that
Liberty x Nike WMNS Dunk Sky High “Floral”
January 23rd, 2013 by Aaron Hope |
More Nike Sportswear and Liberty London this spring as the muted floral pattern we’ve seen pop up on a few designs expands its range with another familiar silhouette. Liberty continues their dominance over the Nike WMNS Dunk Sky High, the ingenious combination of ‘Be True’ basketball styling and a concealed heel wedge whose collabo CV they’ve monopolized. These rock a dark brown not too far from the recent AF1

Air Jordan 5 “Blackout” – Available on Ebay
The Air Jordan 5 is one of the more classic models. For the most part, retro versions have stayed loyal to the originals, with fewer new colorways retroed than most of the other shoes in the Air Jordan line. Thats why when you see a sample of the 5 its always an eye popper. The Air Jordan 5 “Blackout” sample seen here is a play on the Metallic version we all know and love. The pair features a black suede upper with an all black midsole and also has a 3M tongue that swaps out

Nike Air Force 1 Low – Teal Elephant Print
AF1 fans went hard as a mother lover when the heralded elephant print became an available option on Nike iD last year, but NSW is ready to break the mold for good when it drops some more elephant print colorways this Summer 2013 season. This Grey/Navy colorway is paired with an odd mix of teal and a fireberry-like pink, with the latter two tones mixing it up on the elephant print panel on the heel. Based on the mesh interior lining, these appear to be something
Air Jordan 1 Mid “UNC” – Available
Yesterday, Jordan Brand began the XX8 Days of Flight campaign, counting down all models until the unveiling of the 28th Air Jordan shoe. Although Day 1 has passed, you can still celebrate all year long with a new release of the Air Jordan 1 Mid in the ‘UNC’ colorway; the basic two-toned colorway is what made the Dunk and AJ1 such a hit from ’85 on, and today it still carries that honor as being a true rebel of the sneaker game. Premier has these in stock

Nike Zoom Koston 1
While we await the spring 2013 scheduled launch of his second Nike Skateboarding signature model, Eric Koston’s first SB deserves a proper sendoff. This new Nike Zoom Koston One in Strata Grey with a Hyper Red Swoosh. It’s a fittingly subtle design with just a bit of eye-catching energy that fits in as well with the Koston 1 lineage as it will with your wardrobe.

Nike Zoom Rookie “Galaxy” – Light-Up Glow in the Dark Customs by Sole Swap
Sole-swap extraordinaire Jason Negron comes through with another rebuilt Foamposite shoe, using the Nike Zoom Rookie ‘Galaxy’ as the foundation for a rather spiced up final product. Adding glow-in-the-dark speckling on the upper and lights in the moon-pods on the upper, Negron’s Zoom Rookie ‘Galaxy’ achieves even more of that outer-space feel. Complete with a matching tongue label and t-shirt, this Nike Zoom Rookie will definitely be a hot item for
Air Jordan 1 High x Air Jordan 8 – “Bugs Bunny”
Jordan Brand has an entire series of Air Jordan 1 High Hybrids combined with some of the most Iconic colorways in the Retro series. One particular Retro they’ve added into the mix, is the Air Jordan 1 High which explains the Playoff colorway a few weeks ago, and today’s “Bugs Bunny” Retro 8 inspired 1. The Hybrid features white leather perforated uppers, Grey suede, the classic 90's inspired patterns on the liners, and a 23 on the toe. Watch out for these to release later
Air Jordan 2 “XX8″
The “XX8 days of Flight” continues today with the Air Jordan 2 “XX8?. Similar to the AJ1, the Jordan 2 gets fitted with and all black leather upper is accompanied by a neon green outsole and liner. Dubbed the “Italian Stallion”, the second Air Jordan signature model was notorious for being constructed with Italian leather back when it first was originally released in 1986. The “XX8? version seems to take it back to the roots somewhat with what appears to be a very
Nike WMNS Air Max 90 Liberty “Floral”
Following up on the first mens release from longtime Nike Sportswear partner Liberty London comes another look at a very similar pattern in a decidedly more feminine implementation. From a black base and studs around the Swoosh to all-pink and a more overt floral appeal, the Liberty x Nike Air Max 90 will find its way into a ton of different outfits thanks to the grounding influence of a creamy beige base tone.

Nike LeBron X – White – University Red – Black – Total Crimson
The East-leading Miami Heat are currently rocking a daunting 16-3 record at Home, proving that they are one of the toughest match-ups with their home-town crowd behind them. On the 9th of February, the official ‘Home’ version of the Nike LeBron X will finally hit Nike Basketball retailers, although LeBron has been wearing some PEs during that time. We’ll notify you in our NBA Feet recaps when LeBron wears these again, so in the meantime, check out the new
Air Jordan 16 – White – Metallic Navy – 2012 Sample Available
As if the retro’s that were served 2012 weren’t enough, Jordan Brand had the Air Jordan XVI in mind but unfortunately scrapped the line up. The Air Jordan XVI released in 2001 and would be the first time it would see an entire retro line up, aside from the CDP pack. One of the original colorways that was supposed to return last year, was the OG White and Metallic Navy, a colorway that sports white leathers on the upper with Navy accents. These will probably make their way into
Jordan Aero Mania “BHM” PE
There’s another, sort of surprising, Jordan Brand sneaker that got dipped in the ‘BHM’ treatment for today’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day NBA activities. That is the Jordan Aero Mania ‘BHM’, one that was represented by Jordan Brand athlete Gerald Wallace of the Brooklyn Nets and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers. In terms of color blocking the pair comes in closest to the Jordan CP3.VI ‘BHM’ what with its black, blue, and yellow upper.

Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9 “Nighttime” PE
Earlier this month, Sneaker News reported the arrival of a new colorway of Roger Federer’s Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9 that had just become available for retail. That Anthracite/Polarized Pink colorway also serves as a PE for R-Fed for the Australian Open, designated as the official nighttime shoe for the tennis legend to wear during his matches. You’ll note that this athlete-exclusive version has his RF logo on the tongue as well as the outrigger of the shoe!
atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Army Camo”
atmos, the authors of some of the greatest Air Max 1 symphonies of all-time, come back with two insane masterpieces of the ’87 runner for 2013. We showed you a preview of the two pairs some time ago, but we’re getting a first detailed look at each pair – both of which were spotted at the Project NYC Trade Show. The ‘Army Camo’ pair is teamed up with a luxurious black snakeskin material on the toe-box, upper quarter, and tongue, completing yet another
Air Jordan 1 “XX8″
Today marks the first day of Jordan Brands “XX8 days of Flight”. The initiative is meant to build up momentum in the days leading to the Air Jordan XX8 launch. Each day JB will be unveiling a new colorway of each Air Jordan shoe themed after initial colorway of the XX8. Here we get a look at the Air Jordan 1 “XX8?, the classic AJ1 done in its OG high cut form. The shoe is covered in black premium leather and gets coupled with a neon green outsole and inner liner. So far
Air Jordan 1 Retro High + Melo M9 “Year of the Snake” Pack
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High will indeed be bundled along with the Melo M9, in a special “Year of the Snake” pack that will be accompanied by a special edition box. The norm for a 2-pack is a drawer-style set up, with each shoe being stacked vertically and featuring slide-outs to allow you to quickly pull out the shoe you want. The special YOTS packaging for these Jordan’s opts to go with a horizontal layout that flips up similar to a LeBron box. Retail for the pack will be
Nike Air Max 90 EM – Blue – Orange – Brown
The Air Max 90 EM gets a colorway that is reminiscent of many classic ACG models. The blue, orange, and brown make-up looks similar to the Mowabb classics from the 1990's and it all gets done with the addition of Engineered Mesh technology. A speckled midsole along with a suede mudguard make this an all around attractive package. There is no release date as of yet but make sure to check back in for all the details as they surface.

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro – Black – Wolf Grey – Canyon Purple
We’re noticing a trend with 2013 Nike SB Dunks – suede, rip-stop nylon, and pebbled leather. That combo of materials seems to satisfy skaters and SB Dunk loyalists alike, so why switch it up. The colorway is what’s in focus, with a clean Black/Grey/Purple ‘Sacramento Kings’ colorway shining through (although that won’t be relevant for much longer) and a perforated upper panel giving these some added flair. A gallery awaits you below so give them a
Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Camo” – Gum Sole Sample
In just a few short weeks the ‘Fighter Jet’ version of the camo’d out Nike Air Foamposite One will hit retail, following up the widely successful ‘Galaxy’ of nearly one year ago. Following up the White Camo is a more classic arrangement of colors on the Pro model, which featured an US Armed Forces Air Force logo on the heel and some unique speckling on the upper lace placket. Today, we’re getting a look at a sample version of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro ‘Camo’ that featured a
Nike Air Zoom Jet Turf ’97 – Oregon Ducks PE
Their football team just lost the most successful coach in school history, but the Oregon Ducks ’Win the Day’ with the revelation of another dope new Nike Training exclusive. This Nike Zoom Jet Turf ’97 Oregon PE is simultaneously similar to and juxtaposed against the black release from earlier this month, opting for the same black + a single Ducks color template. But where the general release was leather with a green midsole jewel, these opt for
Nike Air Foamposite One “White-Out”
Sandwiched between winter snow and the warm weather with which white is synonymous, this upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One is perfectly positioned with a late March release date. The ‘Whiteout’ Air Foamposite One presents to us an iconic design in ‘blank’ form, the sole color a bit of black from the carbon fiber shank plate. So in addition to the already numerous strengths of the Foam One, you get an unprecedentedly summery colorup whose matching
Air Jordan XI Low – Red – White – Blue – Michael Jordan PE
Michael Jordan himself has played an uncharacteristically large role in recent news regarding the Air Jordan XI Low. It started last year when we saw him rocking what was presumed to be a player exclusive at a youth basketball camp, that black, white and red colorway we now know to be a June 2013 release. A bit later came a look at an elegant ‘Tuxedo’ colorup that hasn’t made itself known in any other way. The question, then, in looking at this
Nike Air Flight ’89 – White – Grey
Nike Air Flight ’89
The Nike Air Flight ’89 has an incredible cult following among older heads, but we can’t deny the fact that a crop of younger sneakerheads gave this shoe some more attention once Kanye was seen wearing a pair. We can’t help but admit that the hip-hop star does influence fashion sense, but the Nike Air Flight ’89 was a classic long before ‘Ye wore ‘em. This new White/Grey colorway is the latest to roll out of NSW’s catalog, and quite honestly, it begs for

Nike Air Foamposite One “Fighter Jet” – Black – Hyper Red – Dark Grey – White
The upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One “Fighter Jet” will break new ground as the model reaches the $235 mark for the first time in existence. With it, a special pair of Penny-centric dog-tags will be included, which perfectly accompanies the camouflage-print upper. Of course, we do know that this is just one of at least two camo-printed Foamposites, but keep your focus on these for now because the release for these (February 9th) is just around the corner. A
Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse – Dark Royal – Cement
The Nike Air Max 97 is set to suit up in the Engineered Mesh look this year, but that doesn’t mean that the Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse is suddenly going into retirement. Pictured here is a purple pair of the sneakers with a spcckled treatment hovering just above the bubble on bottom. The colorway, together with said speckles, has them looking rather close to the Nike Air Max 97 EM ’600K’ combo but there’s no word yet as to whether or not they’re
Nike Solarsoft Mule Woven Premium
Nike’s decades-old approach to minimalism continues with the debut of the Solarsoft Mule Woven Premium, which pairs the original Air Woven in slip-on style with a Solarsoft footbed. Cushionined by the cushy midsole, this Mule Woven offers up the perfect indoor shoe selection, but if you live in appropriate climates, considered these just right for outdoor use as well. Three wildly colorful releases are slated to hit stores beginning in March/April, so check
Nike Vengeance SD – Upcoming Colorways
Plenty of Nike Sportswear’s classic runners have experienced cushioning updates, but none have attacked the sole swap process quite like this latest release. The Nike Vengeance SD switches from Air cushioning to a dual-density foam setup, but the more intriguing part has to be the welted heel that brings a bit of 19th century shoemaking into the mix.

Nike KD V “BHM” – Arriving at Retailers
Next Saturday, the Nike Basketball 2013 Black History Month Collection will launch, with a special focus going to the OKC superstar known as Kevin Durant. KD is one of three athletes that are highlighted in this year’s capsule, as he’s joined by tennis star Serena Williams and footballer Didier Drogba as representatives for the 2013 celebration of Black History and culture. Donned in pristine graphics in grey tones and matched a bright Total Orange on
Nike WMNS Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire – Grey – Purple
The second ladies revelation from the Nike Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire appears as if a representation of the first pair we showcased were slightly desaturated. From black to a grey base layer and from vibrant berry red to a cooler purple, the WMNS Air Max 95 DF knows just how to make the most out of the gradient inherited from Sergio Lozano’s masterpiece. The natural ease of the interplay between grey and purple demonstrates the matched lace/Flywire combo particularly well, a good analogy

Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” – Release Date
It’s the year of the Air Jordan 13 and Jordan Brand continues to shell out colorways of this classic silhouette, following the successful Bred 13 that released last week. Up next, is another original colorway in the 13 series that released in the late 90's – around the same time as the Bred and French Blue 13. However, you won’t be spending $350 to cop these like in 2008 rather a cool $160. Look out for these on March 16th, 2013. Those that want them a bit early for a little
Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka Knit “Red Reef”
A series of dotted-stripe Woven Chukkas labeled as the ‘Knit’ has begun to pop up this Spring 2013 season. The “Night Storm” colorway just hit stores, and following soon after is this Red Reef colorway that utilized the same suede upper material, synthetic Woven stripe, and a dotted strip encircling the shoe. These are being reported as available at overseas retailers like Kasina so check out the detailed images below and let us know what you think of
Nike Air Epic VNTG – Sport Grey – Obsidian – Team Orange
Following up on solid offerings from last year’s fall and winter seasons, the Nike Air Epic returns once again with VNTG treatment for the first quarter of 2013. Cast in an appealing mix of Sport Grey, Obsidian and Team Orange, the pre-yellowed midsole and roughed-up suede on these gives the appearance that they’ve been around since Jim Boeheim had double-digit wins. The latest example of that ‘New York’ look blessing a new sneaker with its unique
Nike Air Max “2013 USATF” Pack
If the last four years are any indication, Nike definitely has some big plans in store for the new Air Max 2013 cushion. Will it be spread out throughout Nike Sportswear and be latched on to future Griffey and Barkley models, or will it be a Running exclusive for now? The Nike Air Max 2013 USATF Pack displays the potential of the 2013 cushion on other models as we saw the Air Max 1 and Air Max 97 get redone with the new full-length Air, but let’s not stray
Nike WMNS Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire – Grey – Black – Red
Sneakertherapy has shown you several different Nike Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire colorways including a few fairly feminine iD samples, but here’s the first pair made specifically for ladies.

For those who passed up on the CDP in 2008, you’re saving yourself an extra 200 to 300 now that the Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” have been confirmed for the Summer.

The Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” releases this Summer at a retail price of $160 at Jordan Brand accounts across the World but for those that want them early,
Air Jordan VIII “Bugs Bunny” 2013 Retro
2013 is shaping up to be an amazing year for original Air Jordan colorways, as this OG Air Jordan VIII known as the ‘Bugs Bunny’ colorway is set for a release this April. We first showed you a basic side profile of the shoes earlier this week, but today we’re getting a first detailed look at the sneaker that the Looney Tunes character wore alongside Michael Jordan in the film ‘Space Jam’. Continue on for a gallery of photos and stay tuned to
Air Jordan XI Retro “Space Jam” #45 Sample
If the Air Jordan XI rotation continues in the current direction, it shouldn’t be too long before we see the Air Jordan XI ‘Space Jam’ retro come back around. Would they be able to generate the same frenzied response if that did happen? We’d imagine so. And if they really wanted to go the extra mile, Jordan Brand could go ahead and slap the ’45' hit on the back end a la this 2000 era sample. Along with that little detail, the sneakers also feature the

This basic White/Grey/Black version features a Stealth Grey toe-box with a white upper and a double-layered midsole with LunarLon cushion – a slight variation from the Flyknit Trainer midsole construction that debuted last year.

Air Jordan XV – Eddie Jones PE
Eddie Jones had the potential of winning soeveral NBA Championships with Shaq until a trade to Charlotte for some dude named Kobe ended Jones’ Lakers story. Instead, he went on to be a key veteran in a number of up-and-coming teams, and even came close to reaching the Finals when he was reunited with Shaq in Miami. Eddie then departed the Heat during the 2005 off-season, but Miami went on to win a title without him during the season that immediately followed.

Plenty of custom sneakers give the reader a good sense of what to expect from the design based on a nickname.

‘Nike Elite‘ is a phrase that we’d naturally associate with Beaverton’s basketball division after last year’s NBA Playoffs (and don’t forget about the superb socks either), which took place around the same time we last saw the classic runner by that name. Returning with pre-yellowed soles and scuffed Swooshes, the Nike Elite VNTG rocks a tonal green upper whose lime nylon base hearkens back to the ’70s, but whose overall composition speaks to the lessons

Rumor Round Up: Air Jordan 11 Retro – Holiday Release
We are not here to confirm nor deny any rumors, but it is tough to overlook the whispers of a possible Holiday 2013 Air Jordan 11 release. The facts are the only things we know for sure is that Jordan Brand takes holiday releases very seriously. Black Friday and Christmas specifically have been typically reserved for some monster releases, like last years Bred drop of the Air Jordan 4 and 11. It seems odd that JB would choose to use the same model for two consecutive holiday releases, but the

In any case, we get a look at this unreleased Air Jordan sample, so take a look at the images below and head to the listing from oregonsole on
