| Nike Hyperize NCAA Pack Posted: 09 Oct 2009 12:58 PM PDT  4 NCAA heavy hitters’ Nike Hyperize team PEs are releasing as House of Hoops exclusives in the near future. Illinois, UConn, USC and Texas’ sneakers will drop, representing 4 major conferences, 4 areas of the USA and 4 storied basketball programs. Illinois is representing for the Midwest, as their Hyperizes use a Navy base with orange Flywire and accents. UConn’s color scheme appears with white and red as a base, with navy blue accents. Like all of these PEs, the school logo appears on the top of the mesh tongue. USC and Texas’ shoes both use black bases for their “away” PEs. The Trojans’ upper gets a patent leather treatment, with yellow Flywire and scarlet accents. Texas’ official school colors are Burnt Orange and white, so the Flywire, outsole and Swoosh outline all appear in the dark orange hue. This may be a sneaker pack before the season starts, but could it be a look at 4 teams with their eyes on the 2010 Final Four in Indiana.

| Nike Terminator High Supreme QS Posted: 09 Oct 2009 12:28 PM PDT  This week, we have spotted a couple of Terminator colorways including the Blue Pearl and the Black/Yellow. However, while those two colorways are applicable in any season, this new Terminator High Supreme is ideal for the winter season. At a first glance, it seems as if this shoe simply features a blue/grey base combined with an off-white midsole and a blue outsole. Yet, its materials are what sets this apart from most Terminators. The toe area and the heel panel possess a grey fur-like texture, while the cllar area contains an off-white fur material. This qucikstrike release is now avaiable at Atmos.

| Air Jordan 15 SE Look See Sample Posted: 09 Oct 2009 11:58 AM PDT  Back in the Summer of 2007, this Look See Sample of the Jordan was created, though it’d never be released. The SE version of the AJXV is a modified silhouette of the original, cleaning up many of the original features that weren’t very well received. This particular sneaker used a mostly white upper, keeping the leather thatching against pebbled leather. Thick red piping lines the tongue opening, and also is used on the outsole. The midsole features the outlined Jordan icon collage from the Air Jordan XX. This same look was used as laser itching for the Air Jordan 4 PE for Carmelo Anthony for last Summer’s Olympics, so given the date on these, there’s a good chance these were originally intended for one of the USA’s players. Click here for more pics of these. | Read the rest of Air Jordan 15 SE Look See Sample

| Nike Court Force Hi “Egypt” Pack Posted: 09 Oct 2009 11:28 AM PDT  We rarely see the Court Force Hi model, however, when Nike does release it, we tend to see some nice designs on it. With that said, the latest Nike pack involves two Court Force Hi colorways that are inspired by specific Egyptian symbols. One pair features a 100% red patent leather/pearlized-like base combined with a white midsole and a black/red outsole. The remaining pair features a predominately white leather upper mixed with teal and peach-colored accents. The red pair is inspired by the Egyptian Scarabeus beetle (located on the tongue), while the white pair symbolizes the Egyptian Eye of Horus. Both are available now at the Good Will Out. | Read the rest of Nike Court Force Hi “Egypt” Pack

| Air Jordan XXI Prototype Posted: 09 Oct 2009 10:58 AM PDT  Before there was an Air Jordan XXI, there was an Air Jordan Elev8. That part numerical codename disguised this prototype sample before it was revised and became the actual release sneaker, which featured quite a few different features. This prototype is also slathered in red suede from ankle to toe, but a major change for the upper you’ll notice is the placement of the circular plastic grate near the collar. It also features red accents on the sole, instead of being completely black. The tongue here features a modified OG “Wings” logo instead of the Jumpman logo, and the underside of the sole uses a 4-pod cushioning system. One feature that would have been a great addition to the release version is the “PPG-28.2 RPG-6.5 APG-5.9 SPG-2.39 PTS-2313″ text that wraps around the inside of the sole. Those numbers are, of course, Michael’s rookie year stats from 1984-1985. Click here for more pics. | Read the rest of Air Jordan XXI Prototype

| Solebox x Saucony Shadow 90 Posted: 09 Oct 2009 09:58 AM PDT  If you’re still scratching your head trying to figure out the story on this Solebox collaboration, take a break and check out these Solebox x Saucony Shadow 90s–You can actually see the shoe! If you haven’t ever heard of the Shadow 90, it’s because this collaboration called for a one-off design that meant mixing the Shadow 6000 upper and Shadow 5000 sole. As you can see, the uppers on these are completely black, mixing suede and mesh. Color accents are very minimal, but appear in the light orange liner and laces. Of course the Solebox logo is present on the heel, using the same orange as the laces. These are estimated to be a November or December release, so stay tuned for more information as it surfaces.
