Adidas has become a summertime favorite and with previews like this it is easy to see why.

Air Jordan 6 Rings & VI “Motorsports” 2010 Release Information


It seems as though the Air Jordan XI “Space Jam” release was not the only Christmas present Jordan Brand had in store for us. We would like to relay the following news to our devoted readers: the Air Jordan 6 Rings and VI “Motorsports” sneakers will in fact be releasing in 2010. The pack releasing in 2010 is the one we showed you back in November- in a cement black/white color palette. The “Motorsports” Air Jordan 6 Rings will release on March 6, 2010 and retail in adult sizes for $175. But the “Motorsports” Air Jordan VI is actually scheduled to release exactly one month earlier- February 6- also for $175 in adult sizes. We are sure this news will be welcomed by plenty, so the only remaining question is: Which of the two black/white Air Jordan “Motorsports Pack” silhouettes is the better one? Check out a picture of this finalized Air Jordan 6 Rings and a picture of this finalized AJ VI after the jump.

After showing you parts one, two, three, and four of the Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Collection, there is still one more set of five Air Jordans to give you a closer look at in the white-on-white colorway.

Air Jordan’s Silver Anniversary Collection pays homage to what will soon be 25 years since the first Air Jordan released, and to 25 years of pure sneaker greatness.

The turquoise nicely contrasts the full grey upper, a trait that is staple for the shoe’s previous colorways. The clean upper sits on a white midsole and black outsole to get the job done. You can cop this shoe early before it hits the States for $117.

Air Jordan 2010 White/White Teaser


Although the summer had just ended, Jordan Brand was still heating things up in September- which is when we brought our fans, readers, and followers news of the Nike Air Jordan: History of Flight website. Every signature Air Jordan release from the I to the XXIII was covered, history and all. But perhaps of more interest to some was the white-on-white colorway each Jordan pictured was in. Those pictures got a lot of people drooling, hoping, and wishing that Jordan Brand would drop ANY of the all-white colorways displayed on the website.

Although there isn’t any word yet as to whether or not any white/white signature series Air Jordan will be releasing in the future, Jordan Brand doesn’t seem to stop making at least a few of each. Pictured here is the newly revealed Air Jordan 2010 in a completely white colorway that just adds another level of “fresh” to ANY sneaker. Were this colorway to actually drop, could that change your whole outlook on the Air Jordan 2010? Let us know your thoughts after the jump.

Air Jordan XII - Flu Game


Between Michael Jordan’s historic career, and how much every sneaker site has been talking about these it would be very embarrassing if you do not know what these are about. The black suede and red leather sneakers will drop on Friday, November 27th at Foot lockers.Via: Footlocker

Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals – Conductor High – Black/White/Solid Black


Jeremy Scott recently chose to dress the Conductor High with his design aesthetic, with keeping the actual silhouette mostly in tact, adding some neck turning features. The most notable would be the full-length tongue that covers the entire lacing section and stays connected with a buckled strap. The strap is actually a part of the traditional design, serving as the middle stripe in the adidas logo. These JS Conductors come in two colorways, a black on black as well as a black/white, which is a staple for the adidas brand.

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke – GDP & Ramon Cerda


The Bespoke studio keeps bringing out staff favorites on the daily, so you can consider this post to be twice as yummy. The Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke has been handled by GDP and Ramon Cerda. GDP’s AF1 features a purple base, using canvas at the toe, nubuck in the middle, and suede at the heel, along with a clean white swoosh and white and grey accents to nicely contrast the purple throughout the shoe. A purple tinted translucent MX sole is used to make this a clean pair of purple sneakers. Ramon Cerda’s Bespoke follows a New York-dedicated “Rotten Apple” theme, using colors similar to an apple and its flesh. The outer panels use pink patent at the toe, red crocskin in the middle, and brick red suede at the heel. The inner panel uses white suede, leather, and patent to resemble an apple’s flesh. Both are great one-of-a-kind Bespokes, and both creators are surely pleased to stop by 21 Mercer.

Nike Zoom Lebron VII Black/Black “Phantom” Release Information


Towards the end of July we brought you a look at a sample Nike Zoom Lebron VI in an anthracite colorway that some people might have wished was made into a general release. But Nike is now preparing to drop the newest installment of the Nike Zoom Lebron signature shoe series in a similar black/black colorway inspired by one of the cars the king himself enjoys driving in: the black Rolls-Royce. And despite the completely black colorway, the shoe boasts both leather and suede for some nice detailing. This shoe will start to release at certain Nike retailers such as FootLocker starting Thursday December 17, 2009. How many of you are planning to cop at least one pair of these?
