Jordan Flight 45 Red/White
Brand Jordan shoes are usually not the most popular of the lineup, with most fans instantly dismissing any shoe that isn’t an Air Jordan model, but we think this one actually has a decent design for a Brand Jordan sneaker. That and the fact that it includes a classic Chicago Bulls colorway. [NiceKicks]

Nike Blazer High Black/White

Posted: 21 May 2009 12:22 PM PDT

Nike Blazer High Black/White

Lately, Nike has released a lot of House of Hoops exclusive basketball sneakers such as the Nike Zoom Sharkley Paul Pierce PEs, the Nike Hypermax "CB34″ and the Nike Foamposite Pro Pearl. In a couple of weeks, Nike will drop yet another House of Hoops exclusive in the form of a Nike Blazer High.

What makes this basic Black/White colored Blazer different you ask? It features a tonal screen printed graphic pattern throughout the base. Minimal white details are located on the swoosh, toe cap and the top of the heel panel. The color scheme is very basic, yet it still contains a nice, stylish style to it. As stated earlier, this Blazer High drops at all three House of Hoops locations on June 4th, 2009. Click here to view additional photos.

DC Life Xander Duct Tape

DC Life Summer 2009 Xander

Working our way through the DC Life Summer 2009 Collection, we’ve previously shown you a few silhouettes including the Volcano DSTX, and Dress Sneaker. Now we have a look at the Xander high top in a truly unique makeup.

The DC Life Xander comes from the “High Life on the Riviera” collection for the summer of 2009. DC has taken materials that have been previously seen on other sneakers, but applies them in a unique fashion. The uppers are a combination of grip tape, notorious for tearing up skate shoes, and duct tape to protect the rest of the shoe from itself.

What do you think of these latest from DC Life?

Vans Chukka Low Purple

Vans seems to have new colorways of near every silhouette almost daily. I’m definitely not complaining though, because more often than not the designs are fresh and reasonably priced. Take for example this purple Vans Chukka Low.

Designed with Vans skate team and inspired by classics like the Authentic and Chukka Boot, the Vans Chukka Low is set to drop in new colorways for summer including this limited edition purple, in premium suede and canvas.

Available now at Zumiez for about $55.

Jordan Dub Zero Black/Laser Blue

Along with the Black/Varsity Maize colorway, Jordan Brand is set to release this Jordan Dub Zero Black/Laser Blue-White this Saturday, May 23rd, 2009. After being absent for a couple of years, who is delighted to see the Jordan Dub Zero come back?

This particular Jordan Dub Zero uses a very similar colorway to that of the Dub Zero “Photo Blue” that dropped in 2005. However, it features more black on the base. Other features include the black woven texture on the heel panel, black/white laser drawings on the side panels and a patent leather toe area. Click here to view additional photos.

DC Life Summer 2009 Line Up

Earlier this week we saw the first part of the DC Life “High Life on the Riviera” Collection for this summer in the form of the DC Life Volcano DSTX. Those sneakers didn’t seem to be popular with many of you so today we have a look at the second installment of the collection.

The DC Life sector brings two new colorways of the Dress Sneaker and an additional colorway of the Volcano DSTX. One makeup of the Dress Sneaker is smothered in blue, as is this latest version of the Volcano DSTX. The second Dress Sneaker is treated with perforated premium leather and a simple two-tone colorway.

You can see the rest of the collection by clicking here.

Lakai Eric Koston Hi

Posted: 21 May 2009 09:31 AM PDT

Lakai Eric Koston Hi

One of the most shocking events in the skate world over the last few months was the announcement that Eric Koston would be leaving Lakai to join an unnamed footwear company. Lakai had recently been releasing classics, including the Koston Signature. However, with Koston departing, the plans for this high top version of the Koston Signature model have now been scrapped.

Originally the Lakai Eric Koston Hi was set to drop in three colors as part of the Fall/Winter line up. Unfortunately with Eric moving on these kicks won’t see the light of day. With fresh colorways and a timeless skate sneaker revamped with a little extra ankle height, these could have definitely been a dope skate shoe.

Click here to check out all three colorways.

Under Armour Prototype Brandon Jennings PE

Posted: 21 May 2009 09:26 AM PDT

Under Armour Prtotype Young Money Brandon Jennings PE

When we showed you the all-black version of the Under Armour Prototype in February, many of you stated that Under Armour basketball could really do some big things in the future. In addition, we have now spotted photos of yet another Under Armour Prototype colorway. Who else wishes Under Armour start releasing basketball sneakers? Would you snag the Prototype for the right price?

This particular Brandon Jennings (1st Under Armour basketball signee) PE contains a mainly white upper with heavy perforated side panels. It also seems to contain patent leather on the heel and toe area, while possessing an inner sleeve as well. The colorway is inspired by the jerseys of the team Brandon plays for in Rome. Another interesting feature is the words, “Young Money” written in cursive on the ankle area of the sneaker. Apparently, this is one of Brandon’s favorite sayings. Click here to view detailed photos.

Nike Air Trainer III White/Grey/Orange

Posted: 21 May 2009 08:16 AM PDT

Nike Air Trainer III White/Grey/Orange

We’ve seen a number of colorways of the new technology packed Nike Trainer 1, but we can’t forget the vast number of Nike Trainers to carve the path before it. One of which is the Nike Air Trainer III which will be returning in a new colorway at the end of the month to retailers like Atmos.

This latest colorway of the Nike Air Trainer III features a predominantly white upper with subtle hints of grey and orange. The perforations on the leather are a nice look, accented with the patent orange that has been applied to the Swoosh creates a clean and simple look for the summer.

Do these classics compare to the new Trainer 1?

Kicks On Court: Alston Assist Magic in AND1 Advantage

Posted: 21 May 2009 07:59 AM PDT

Kicks On Court

At the beginning of the year, we spotlighted Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis sporting an exclusive AND1 sneaker dubbed the ME8. AND1 has not been one of the more popular brands during the 2008-09 NBA season, however, our Kicks On Court has spotted Orlando Magic guard Rafer Alston wearing an AND1 model consistently.

In game 1 of the Orlando Magic-Cleveland Cavaliers series, Alston wore an all-black colorway of the AND1 Advantage model. It contains a 100% leather upper with minimal blue accents throughout the base. If you recall, this shoe released in a couple of colorways last month. Could AND1 be quietly making a comeback? Click here to view more kicks worn by LeBron James, Mo Williams, Ben Wallace and others.
