The Quickstrike release of the Air Jordan XIII ‘Altitude’ may have fallen at an inopportune time, as the Jordan Brand and Nike December 2010 release schedule is one of the most jam-packed we’ve ever seen. Some have allotted money towards last week’s Air Jordan III Doernbecher release and others may still be recovering from the plethora of drops on Black Friday. Finishing off the rest of the month is the Air Jordan XIII ‘Bulls’, the Nike Air 1/2 Cent ‘Cranberry’, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI, and of course, the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’. If you’ve had your targets locked in on the Altitude XIII, this Saturday is the official release date. Be sure to cop a pair because these will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers like Extra Butter, but you can also cop your pair now on eBay.

It’s crazy to think that we haven’t seen a new Puma Slipstream colorway in nearly three years, but at least the German Cat interrupted this ’80s basketball hightop’s silence with a timely new womens nike free 3.0 v5 style. The ‘Snake’ Slipstream applies a generous portion of scaling to fully integrate its crisp navy and white palette, a move that makes them feel both fresh (snakeskin is a hot trend and a key part of Puma’s FW12 lineup), and hearkens back to the middle part of their decade of origin when ‘Python’ narrowly missed becoming 1987′s answer to Elephant print. Get comfy with the retro vibe thanks to more photos below and stick with Sneaker News to find out if/when these arrive at US retailers.
