Jordan Brand already has a formidable presence in the competitive NCAA Basketball outfitting game, with historic institutions like North Carolina, Georgetown, and Marquette under its wing. For Spring 2013, Jordan Brand will introduce a ‘college’ capsule of Air Jordan 1 Phat colorways acting as a pre-game lifestyle footwear option for the entire team to wear – just imagine the entire squad laced up in AJ1s before they entire their pre-game warm-ups. ?This hightop CVO has huarache-like ankle cutouts that provide support and reveal underlying materials, in this case, colorful leopard prints. ?Fellow OTWs the Alomar is back and another new model joins the bunch in the Lynwood hightop. Beginners to the whole Nike Air Max thing can have a pretty easy time of picking up some of the most revered styles in that range this holiday season, this Nike Air Max 95 colorway pictured being one of them. The Nike Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ will be dropping on the last day of the year along with some other universally heralded bubble-bottom silos.
How hard does the new Nike Max H.A.M. Low go? We’re going to go ahead and assume you know the answer to that based on the acronym in the sneaker’s title. The Nike Air Max 95 is one of the models that doesn’t hurt too many feelings when it shows up as an overseas exclusive. The model remains in regular rotation as far as retros are concerned over here in the US, so it’s not like that on-going Huarache fiasco where we have to stare at them lustily from a distance. Given how many camouflage sneakers have released over the past few years, it’s a little surprising that the number of rain camo kicks has been relatively so limited. ?This would be the first such release from The Brand with the Three Stripes, as the adidas Originals Tech Super puts the streaky pattern on the toe and ankle collar of this new ladies colorway. Whenever LeBron James visits the Portland Blazers for a game, he’s always rocking some special PE heat. With the Nike World Headquarters just a stones throw away from PDX, it wouldn’t be so hard to hand-deliver a pair of PEs to LBJ, like the awesome Red/Black PE of the Nike LeBron X he rocked during yesterday’s loss against the hometown Blazer crew.
?So when you start to see a bunch of new colorways from the AMNM and then this design reminiscent of both?2009′s AGM1?and the?OG Air Total Griffey Max?(also set to hit retail this year), it’s only natural to see a stronger correlation between these mid-’90s baseball trainers. ?But few shoes of any genre can match the Air Max NM’s unique lacing setup, which looks even wilder with all-Volt through the tongue area while contrasted by the crisp royal blue upper. It would be an understatement to call the ongoing Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals collection polarizing. For as long as JS has been cooking up models for adidas they have generated responses at opposite ends of the spectrum. While it was around, the Nike LeBron 9 Elite got a decidedly more thorough treatment in terms of colorways offered than the other Elite models to debut at the same time, popping up with editions like the ‘Taxi’ and the ‘Miami Vice’. It looks like the colorways didn’t end there, at least not for LeBron James, who recently showed off this picture of his Nike LeBron 9 Elite collection, a group that includes Cannon, Tennis Ball, Blue Flame (looks like ‘China’ to us), and Galaxy style colorways.
