Nike Air Force 25

The Black Mamba himself has been wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe V since Christmas Day, and we’re sure to see a “Black Mamba” colorway of his fifth signature sneaker some time in the near future. Until then, check out this Nike Air Force 25 “Black Mamba”.

Nike made sure the Black Mamba reference was noticeable on this sneaker. The majority of the upper is comprised of black snakeskin leather, while the side panels and toe box feature premium leather. It also owns a black patent leather swoosh outlined in blue, purple shoelaces and a purple inner lining. To finish it off, this Air Force 25 is complimented with translucent sole. Available now at Kix-Files. Click here to view additional photos.

The Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Dunkman” was an instant hit when we first posted it last week. And to follow up the first few images we got then is this next round of pictures, giving us a better look at the details of the shoe.

Black patent leather is used on the lower mudguard, while regular black leather makes up the remainder of the traditional upper. Flywire with a neon green on black look makes up the mid-panel. That same super-bright hue is used on the Air Max 360 degree bag and outsole, as well as the Swoosh outline and other accents. The laces are black, but we now see for sure they contain a white-stripe in a dotted pattern.

Jordan Spizike

As you can see, Jordan Brand will be unleashing the Spizike in a few colorways for 2010. Following the Jordan Spizike “Do You Know” that released this past Saturday, JB will release this Spizike “Fresh Since ‘85″ next month.

This particular Spizike owns a few different details from the previous pairs we have seen. It possesses a predominately black suede base similar to the soon-to-be-released Air Jordan 6 Retro Black/Red. Another interesting design can be seen on the inner lining which possesses the infamous line, “High-flying, death-defying 360 slam dunk". The rest of the sneaker contains red accents and its usual elephant print sections. Who else is looking forward this release in February? Click here to view detailed photos.

The wildest of the Star Wars x adidas Originals Collection has hit select retailers. This adidas Micropacer, which features more than just one character like the other releases before hit, is now available at CaliRoots.

Lenticular metallic leather covers the upper, including the toe, midfoot and laces cover. This unique material also features texture similar to a spaceship thanks to its deep grooves. Multiple scenes from the Star Wars series appear throughout, including the scene of the main Jedi-side characters spanning across both shoes’ toes. Battle images appear on the mid-panels, inner and outer, of both shoes. Special touches include the pedometer featuring “Good” and “Bad” timing buttons on one flap, while the other reveals the numbering (1977 are available) and a hiding Storm Trooper.

Vans Vault Standard Issue Hi LX

Posted: 13 Jan 2010 10:28 AM PST

Vans Vault Standard Issue Hi LX

Vans Vault is issuing a new model for 2010 with the Standard Issue Hi LX. It’s based on the classic Sk8-Hi model, but with new paneling along the upper.

Rather than stick just to the standard canvas construction, suede is used on the midfoot, toe and heel in matching hues with the rest of the shoe. Canvas is used still though, as the material finishes the uppers’ make-ups. Boot inspirations are also used, as seen in the eyelets. Cord laces and a ribbed ankle area also add to the boot aesthetic, but the white vulcanized soles make it clear that these are still Vans. Red, blue and black colorways will be available starting next month.

Nike Terminator Hi Premium TZ Black/Green

Posted: 13 Jan 2010 09:58 AM PST

Nike Terminator

This past December, Nike used the Terminator model to cater to the women. Terminators such as the “White Noise”, the X-Girls collaboration and the “Day & Night” surfaced around the holiday season. However, check out this men’s Terminator that is now available at select retailers overseas.

It features a mostly black colored base comprised of leather (toe box, side panels), pebbled leather (heel panel, toe area, laceholder area),  nylon (tongue) and a net-like design on the top of the heel. It also features minimal green line designs throughout the upper. To coincide with the latter area, this shoe is finished with a glow-in-the-dark midsole and a black outsole. Is this one of the best Terminators seen in awhile? Click here to view detailed photos.
