Adidas Spezial M
The Adidas Spezial was first introduced all the way back in 1979 as a handball shoe. Now 30 years later it is back in the form of the Adidas Spezial M, although we doubt that many people will be using it for handball. The one we see here will come in olive green with a mix of suede and leather. [SoleRedemption]

Air Jordan 6 Retro Detailed Pics

Air Jordan 6 Retro Detailed Pics

The AJ11 “Space Jam” may be the retro release everyone is waiting for, but only weeks after it releases, Jordan Brand is hitting us with yet another classic in the Air Jordan 6. We’ve seen a few pics before, but now we get a great detailed look at these January releases.

As you know, Varsity Red has been substituted on the midsole in place of the classic Infrared, though it’s fair to say we can all agree it will do the trick. The icy outsole is of course back as well. The lace lock and tongue Jumpman logo are done up in the same shade of red. These are the first releases of the 6, but of course more are scheduled for early 2010 including the Black/White/Splatter pair we saw in depth awhile back. Be on the lookout, because classics are on their way.

Reebok Classic 25th Anniversary “Paris”

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 12:28 PM PST

Reebok Paris Runner 25th Anniversary

We may have just celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pump, but 5 long years before we were able to inflate our sneakers, we had the Reebok Classic.

And to celebrate the 25th Anniversary, Reebok is dropping this Parisian-inspired red, white and blue color-up this week at select retailers. Royal blue suede pops off the clean synthetic upper, while red leather is used for the other half of the classic Vector logo design. At around 80 USD, these won’t break the bank by any stretch, and are a great addition to any running shoe fanatic’s collection.

Jordan 16.5 White/Grey

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 11:58 AM PST

First Look: Jordan 16.5 White/Grey

Just yesterday we got a look at the recently-released “Cool Grey” 16.5s, and the response was resoundingly positive. This next pair, which we’re getting our first look at now, use a good bit of grey as well, and could be the next colorway to hit retailers.

While they may not feature any team or player logos, these may very well end up on the feet of Dallas Mavericks forward and Jordan Brand athlete Josh Howard. Just like the “Cool Grey” pair from yesterday, these feature heel and toe patent leather panels and a durable mesh mid-panel. However, a white leather upper is used, and navy blue accents are used throughout, including the midfoot eyelets, liner and the raised Jumpman logo.

Nike Blazer High Carbon Fiber

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 10:58 AM PST

Nike Blazer High Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is good enough for the construction of the world’s most high-end sports cars, so it is definitely good enough for a pair of Nikes. These Blazers may not be made with the real deal weave, but they still look slick.

As noted above, the imitation look covers the majority of the upper, while grey nubuck is found on the midfoot, forefoot accent piece, heel tab and tongue. A large white Swoosh breaks up the dark construction, while a a two-tone grey sole brings the colorway home. These are available now at select retailers, including Standard Atlanta.

Adidas Samba Grey/White

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 10:28 AM PST

Adidas Samba Grey/White

The adidas Samba is a certified classic. For this next round, it’s dropped in a grey suede color-up, keeping these retro style sneakers simple and old school.

As mentioned above, grey suede is used for the entirety of the upper, as it covers every panel. The tongue is done up in a matching shade, though it’s made of leather instead. A white, textured vulcanized sole is used, matching the classic triple stripes that dart up the side. To match the leather stripes, the heel panel is done in the same fashion. To break up all the grey, a rectangular blue tongue label is done in traditional adidas fashion. These are out now at select retailers, including Schuh-You.

Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski Tan/Brown

The Zoom Stefan Janoski will be back for 2010, gracing us again with  classy colorway that’s wearable both on and off your skateboard. Similar to the Obsidian pair we saw awhile back, leather is the choice material for the upper.

Keeping the colors neutral are brown accents throughout. They appear on the the tongue label, sole pinstriping, liner and stitched Swoosh. Leather laces, which we’ve seen on almost all previous color-ups, are back, though they’re white here to match the vulcanized sole. As stated above, these will drop in 2010 some time.

Nike Air Zoom Tennis Classic ND White/Sail Blue

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 12:58 PM PST

Nike Air Zoom Tennis Classic ND White/Sail Blue

There was not much interest shown in the Nike Air Zoom Tennis Classic Varsity Maize we showed you last week. Was the bright, head-turning color scheme too much for you at this time of the year? If so, Nike has unleashed a simpler Air Zoom Tennis Classic at select retailers such as Kasina.

It simply possesses a mainly white leather base combined with sail blue accents in the form of the Nike tongue logo and the heel tab. To coincide with these Nike tags, this shoe also owns a sail blue-colored midsole and a white outsole. Other features include a perforated swoosh, white shoelaces, and monochromatic contrast stitching throughout the upper. Click here to view additional photos.

With all the attention the Air Jordan 2010 and December Retro releases have gotten, the Team line of Jordans has gone under the radar. The Ol’ School III, which we got a look at in a black and grey colorway in October, is back in a white and grey colorway.

The entirety of the upper on this color-up is done with white, mixing two types of leather. The midsole is done with solid black and also a cement grey and black splatter, while the outsole is a mix of clear and white. Finally, touches of red are used on the liner and logos.

Bape Sta Gingham

Bape continues to unleash some very nice sneakers including the Evening Sta, the Woodland Camo Bapesta and the Wood Land Pack. In addition, Bape will be premiering another new silhouette in the form of this Sta Gingham.

PHANTACi x Nike Air Max 1 “Grand Piano”

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 10:58 AM PST

Nike Air Max 1

Fresh off of the heels of the latest Patta x Nike Air Max 1 collaboration, Nike has involved itself in yet another joint effort on the infamous Air Max 1.

This time, Nike called upon the efforts of artist Jay Chou and the Taiwan-based PHANTACi on this highly-detailed sneaker. Its inspiration comes from both the PHANTACi store and most of all a grand piano. The piano keys are represented by the predominance of the white base, whilwe the black patent leather sections stand for the piano itself. In addition, the minimal pink accents go hand in hand with the PHANTACi store color. This Air Max 1 will be limited to 400 pairs and will be available in the near future. Until then, click here to see artist Jay Chou rocking this Air Max 1.

Under Armour BB Proto 2 “Young Buck”

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 10:28 AM PST

Under Armour BB Proto 3 "Young Buck"

When we last saw the Under Armour Young Buck, many of our readers wondered when they could get a closer look at the pair Brandon Jennings wore when he scored 55. The white & red “Young Buck” is here though, as well as a look at a black and red pair.

The first pair uses a white leather upper, while red patent leather is used on around the bottom, the same as on the black pair. Both also utilize a white outsole and a red and clear midsole. Both also feature green accents throughout, denoting Jennings’ position on the Milwaukee Bucks. Both pairs also feature the number three in red near the heel, and various slight differences. We’ve seen the White/Red combos recently in Kicks on Court, and we’ll surely see a number of more colorways in the future.
