Air Jordan 16.5
One of the Air Jordan hybrid sneakers being influenced by the Air Jordan XVI and Air Jordan XVII is now up - the Air Jordan 16.5. It has a double row of lace holders, an attribute it adopts from the AJ XVI aside from its shape. The mid-sole was taken from the AJ XVII while the patent leather toebox is original. []

    Nike Air Max 90 Premium HuaracheRecently, we have showed you various places where the Air Huarache inspired Nike Air Force 1 “Scream Green” has surfaced.

It features a predominately white leather upper with blue accents on the swoosh, lace overlay, ankle area and tongue. It also owns a scream green strip just above the white sole. Is this an upgrade from the Nike Air Force 1? Click here to view detailed photos.

    Nike Woven Pack

    Earlier this year, we showed you the Nike Haystack Pack which involved a hay color inspired Talache Low and a Terminator High. In addition, we have now spotted another Nike Pack involving the Terminator High as well.

    Along with the Nike Terminator High, this pack also possesses a Nike Air Wildwood Premium. Both models contain a predominately light bone upper with brown and beige accents seen throughout the base. However, the most interesting feature is the woven design it owns. The toe box and side panels/ankle area contain a light bone woven design, while the lace overlay features a crinkled leather material. Click here to view detailed photos of each.

    Converse WADE 1 Reissue

    Posted: 13 Apr 2009 10:11 AM PDT

    Converse WADE 1 Reissue

    Five-time NBA All-Star and 2006 NBA Finals MVP Dwyane Wade is currently having the best regular season of his career and is in consideration to receive his first-ever season NBA MVP award. The Miami Heat Guard is currently leading the league in scoring (30.2 ppg), and registers in the top ten in assists (8th – 7.5 apg) and steals (2nd – 2.19 spg). He will also become the first player in NBA history to have 500 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocked shots in a season since the NBA officially began to keep track of steals and blocks in the 1973-74 season.

    To celebrate this historic season, Converse will reissue a limited amount of the WADE 1. The WADE 1 was first launched before the 2005-06 NBA season and was the first-ever signature shoe for Dwyane Wade. He wore the shoe during a breakout NBA season where he led the Miami HEAT to their first-ever NBA championship and recorded the third highest scoring average in the NBA Finals with 34.7 points per game.

    The WADE 1 features ".08" displayed on the inner heel to reflect two game-winning shots in his first two NBA season seasons. His number "3" is shown on the shoelace eyelets and his name appears on the back and top of the shoe. Functionally, the shoe enables Wade to play at the top of his game with a Foot Strike Management System, internal sock liner and heel stabilizers.

    The WADE 1 will be available on Friday, April 10, exclusively at Champs Sports for $90. It will be available in the original, black/white/red on-court colorway.

    New Balance U455

    Originally a trail running shoe first released in 1979, the New Balance 455 returns as a lifestyle offering for the casual market.  The 455 has a 3 layer outsole capable of dispersing shock and offering excellent traction.  Maybe you won’t be taking these off road on the trail, but these are more than technically suited for office carpet and hardwood.

    Nike Dunk Hi Challenge Supreme Union NYC

    Posted: 13 Apr 2009 09:19 AM PDT

    Nike Dunk Hi Challenge Supreme Union NYCOver the past month, we have started to see the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid show up at select retailers. Some of you that commented stated that the colorway is fresh, yet, the model is not as nice as the Air Tech Challenge IV. However, we have now spotted an original sneaker also containing the Air Tech Challenge colorway.

    Similar to the Air Tech Challenge, this Nike Dunk Hi features a predominately white leather upper with pink and black accents throughout the base. Obviously, it uses the infamous black/pink speckled gradient-like design that is associated with the Air Tech Challenge. To finish it off, this sneaker is complimented with a pink swoosh and outsole. This shoe was created in lieu of Union NYC’s 20th Anniversary. It possesses a Union strap and an NYC stitch on the rear of the shoe. Supposedly, only 100 pair were produced.

    Nike Air Yeezy Black/Red-Grey

    Posted: 13 Apr 2009 08:54 AM PDT

    Nike Air Yeezy Black/Red-Grey

    The Nike Air Yeezy is easily the most sought-after sneaker of 2009 so far. Although it has already released in the Zen Grey/Light Charcoal colorway, many are eagerly waiting for the Black/Pink colorway. In addition, we have spotted yet another fresh colorway of the Yeezy.

    It contains a predominately black upper combined with a fiery red midole and glow-in-the-dark outsole. It also contains a black patent leather strip located just above the midsole. In addition, the toe cap and certain surrounding areas are colored in grey as well. Even though this sneaker seems like a must cop, there is no word yet on if it will be available for retail. Could this be the best Air Yeezy colorway yet?
