The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Posted: 25 Jul 2010 10:58 AM PDT

NBA 2K11

Today's The Good, the Bad & the Ugly features a classic Nike Air Max runner, a newly-developed video game sneaker feature and a rare New Balance sneaker. With that said, see the position each sneaker/dessert holds in our weekly feature below. What was your personal good, bad and ugly this week?

The Good – Nike Air max 90 “Infrared”

Nike Air Max 90 Infrared

The Nike Air Max 90 “Infrared” will always be considered one of, if not the best Nike running sneaker of all time. Therefore, it was great to see this sneaker in retailers after a 20-year hiatus. Although we have seen sneakers such as the “Neon” Nike Air Max 95 and the original colorway of the Air Max 1 in 2010, is this your favorite Nike Air Max runner to return this year?

Air Jordan 7 “For the Love of the Game” Release Date Change

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 08:15 PM PDT

Air Jordan 7 Olympic "For the Love of the Game"

We have just learned that the highly-anticipated Air Jordan 7 “For the Love of the Game” will now release on August 13th, 2010 as opposed to August 7th, 2010, its original date. This comes as no surprise considering the majority of the big Jordan Brand releases seem to carry at least one release date change these days. The Air Jordan 7 “For the Love of the Game” will hit select retailers worldwide as a quickstrike release on a Friday. However, the quantity of this release, along with the specific locations, have yet to surface. Stay tuned as more information should release soon.

This Week In Sneaks

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 02:28 PM PDT

Jordan 6 Rings

The “3M” Jordan 6 Rings seems to be a favorite amongst many Air Jordan addicts currently; however, the upcoming “Foamposite” Jordan 6 Rings will potentially be the best 6 Rings colorway upon its release. What are your thoughts on this sneaker?

At the beginning of the week, we revealed photos of Jay-Z rocking the “Aqua” Air Jordan 8s and DC rapper Wale sporting the Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer “Flash”. Who rocked the better sneaker? Share your opinion in our Footwear Faceoff and vote!

The highly-anticipated NBA 2K11 is set to hit retailers later this fall; however, we are steadily gaining new information about this video game. In detail, Michael Jordan will be wearing the “Playoff” Air Jordan 12s in NBA 2K11.

Check out some of your favorite celebrities, including Common, Kid Cudi, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, in our Celebrity Sneaker Stalker.

Although basketball season is still about three months away, there are still specific basketball functions going on throughout the summer. With that said, view our Kicks On Court: Hyperfuse Haven at Team USA Basketball Practice.

Is anybody of fan of the Air Jordan Fusion line these days? Check out a video in which New Orleans rapper Curren$y criticized the Air Jordan Fusions.

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

The team is clearly feeling giving this week, considering that not one, but two LIVESTRONG shoes appear on this installment of Nice Kicks Staff Picks. Also spotted are a new runner sample and a proven sneaker in an awesomely American look.

Scroll through the team’s picks and see with which Nice Kicker you best identify and agree.

Jordan 6 Rings

I have never been a big fan of the Jordan 6 Rings model; however, this particular color scheme on this shoe is the best I’ve seen so far. It kind of reminds me of the “Green Bean” Air Jordan 5s. In addition to the all-3M upper, the icy blue outsole adds a nice touch of cleanliness.

SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 12:28 PM PDT

Russian artist, SSUR, has teamed up Converse this Summer to produce one of the most simple and clean pairs of Pro Leather 76 Hi’s that we have seen in recent time. Over a month ago, initial photos of the SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi surfaced and reactions were positive. The pair features an all black premium suede upper, crackled leather lace eyelets, laces, midsole, and outsole. Gold accents, used on the tongue, heel tab, and lace locks, add a nice touch to this collaboration. This pair is now available at Havenshop.

In Retrospect: LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1

Posted: 24 Jul 2010 11:28 AM PDT

LIVESTRONG x Nike

Obviously, the LIVESTRONG x Nike Collection has been coming on strong as of late seeing that we spotted two new installments just yesterday (see LIVESTRONG x Nike Bruin & LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Mid TZ). Who else is reminded of last summer’s LIVESTRONG x Nike onslaught. In attempt to help you remember more, we have highlighted the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 in today’s In Retrospect.

A year ago today, the LIVESTRONG x Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 released at select Nike Sportswear retailers nationwide. Were you lucky enough to get your hands on this sneaker and was it worth the $150? If you did not pursue this Air Force 1, are you wishing you would have now? Lastly, was it one of, if not the best Air Force 1 release of 2009? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Nike Dunk High AC PerforatedJust a few days ago we learned that the Air Force 1 and Dunk High AC that match the Toki that released this year would be releasing this weekend. It looks like Nike jumped the gun on itself though, as the Dunk is now available at Nike Store.

White perforated leather covers the upper completely, with the exception of the Swoosh. A Soft Grey stripe separates the upper and textured autoclave sole.
