Nike Air Max ST OG

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 12:28 PM PDT

Nike’s Air Max line has long been a favorite of sneakerheads everywhere, and with good reason. The popularity of the Air Max ‘95 and Air Max 1 have proven that the once-revolutionary air bubble technology is still just as sought-after now as it was at its release.

So it should come as no surprise that Nike will bring this Air Max ST OG back in some new colors. Seen here for October 2009, this pair features a navy and white base with red swoosh and lining. The remainder of the upper also gets a navy and white colorway, with perforated patent leather for the white portion. An old school Air Max print also appears on the tongue in bold font.

The ST OG may not get the same love as its Air Max brothers, but it’s a solid silhouette, no? Head to the comments section and share your opinions on this one.

Lakai “Leisure Lean” Collection

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 11:58 AM PDT

Lakai has a history of producing some purpose-built skate sneaks, but the “Leisure Lean” Collection for Fall 2009 is designed to prove that the brand is capable of much more than just that.

Using premium materials, two pairs are tossed in, the Codi Hi and Manchester Select, and mixed up in a total of four colors. The Manchester Select low-top comes in black and grey suede, with matching leather accents and logos. The Codi Hi is coming in dark brown and royal blue, which seems to be the odd-shoe-out in this group of natural colorways. Look for these soon as select Lakai retailers.

Air Jordan 1 PHAT Womens

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 11:58 AM PDT

There have been so many Jordan releases lately that it’s almost overwhelming, but now JB is showing some love for the ladies with these Air Jordan 1 PHAT WMNS.

Obviously, the first thing that jumps at you is the bright pink patent leather on the swoosh, toe and back section. Nike and Jordan are referring to the color as “China Rose,” though, just in case any fellas want to size up for these and justify the hue. The pink sections aren’t the only color jumping off on these though, as the liner features a spotted black and lime green print for contrast. No doubt about it, these are meant to draw some attention.

While the AJ1 has become JB’s release-aplenty as of late, it’s nice to see a women’s color-up for the sneakerheadettes out there.

Jordan Spizike Boot Dark Cinder/Black

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 11:43 AM PDT

Yesterday, we showed you the Jordan Spizike “Do You Know”, and some of you expressed a lot of interest in the multi-colored sneaker. However, while we wait for that release (2010), Jordan Brand has released the Spizike Boot Dark Cinder/Black at select retailers such as City Sole.

While the aforementioned Spizike “Do You Know” would be ideal for the spring and/or summer seasons this Spzike Boot undoubtedly goes hand in hand with the fall/winter season. It features a predominately dark cinder colored base with minimal black accents in the form of the laceholders and tongue. To coincide with those sections, this shoe is finished with a rugged, black sole. As an added featurre, this Spizike Boot also contains elephant print designs on the heel panel and toe area.

Nike Dunk Hi Supreme “East”

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 11:28 AM PDT

It’s a point of pride for New Yorkers to let everyone know they’re from the Big Apple long before anyone can ask, “Where are you from?” So rejoice NYC sneakerheads, because 21 Mercer St. now has the latest “East” installments of the “East vs. West” series as of today.

The Gucci-inspired Dunk Hi Supreme features two prized treatments–ostrich and a gum bottom. The green, red and black colorway has always been a hit, so these may be a limited find. If you recall, DJ and sneaker aficionado Clark Kent was involved in the design process behind these, as well as an “East” Air Force 1 Hi.

So rest assured New Yorkers, you’ll get your chance to rep for your city, but be sure to get there quick, just in case.

Adidas Conductor “Winterized” Pack

Posted: 16 Sep 2009 10:58 AM PDT

Adidas has tailored the Conductor with some wintry wools to keep your feet toasty for the frigid months. The Adidas Conductor “Winterized” Pack possesses two classic patterns in windowpane and herringbone. The former features a beige/olive pattern with beige leather and three red leather stripes while the latter uses a black/grey pattern with black leather and orange accenting.

The addition of suiting patterns to basketball sneakers is an intriguing mash-up yet it isn’t brand new; remember the Nike Dunk Hi Premium “Houndstooth” Pack last winter? Peep more pictures of the kicks after the jump and inform us as to whether or not these sneakers are suitable. If you’re interested in them you can scoop either pair or both at The Good Will Out.

Nike Zoom Skyposite Amare Stoudemire PE

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 12:58 PM PDT

The newest member of the Nike Posite family, the Zoom Skyposite, surfaced to mixed reviews, but now that we’ve seen these 2009-2010 Amare Stoudemire PE’s, a few opinions may swing either way for good.

Featuring a shiny black upper, which fades down to purple before connecting with the solid purple Lunar midsole, these are undoubtedly a Suns’ players’ sneaks, though they’d work in Sacramento too. Amare’s “AS” appears over the black tongue, as well. While there was some doubt which details from above Skyposites would make the final version, it looks like Nike has opted to use the lower heel cut, as well as the heel pull. Also gone are the lower breathing holes.

Look forward to seeing these on Amare’s feet when Kicks On Court returns. With all the D-Wade anticipation, and LeBron VII madness already in place for this NBA season, Kicks on Court is sure to be better than ever.

Head to the comments board and let us know how you feel about these.

2001 Air Jordan 7 “Bordeaux” Sample

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 12:28 PM PDT

Early this month we broke news of possible retro of the Air Jordan 7 “Bordeaux,” and sneakerheads rejoiced. Now we’ve spotted the exact same samples on eBay. While the sighting of these being on eBay doesn’t do much for the rumor, it is your chance to own a true 1 of 1 Jordan sample–Something very few people will ever do.

The OG “Bordeaux” colorway dropped in February 1992, and was up for retro in 2002, when Jordan Brand opted to retro the “Raptors” design instead. A third “Raptors” retro was released every recently with the Air Jordan 7 DMP 60+ Pack, along with an Orlando Magic-inspired AJ7.

This eBay auction ends September 20th, and pricing already looks prohibitive, but for those sneakerheads whose pockets run as deep as their obsession, this is a rare opportunity.

Nike Blazer Hi “Count Dracula”

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 11:58 AM PDT

Nike has created this Count Dracula-inspired Blazer for the upcoming Holiday season. The clear and unequivocal focal point of the shoe rests in the blood red splattering across the white canvas upper. Other subtle aspects of the shoe include a cream nubuck vamp, eyestay and a grey suede swoosh.

For those of you riding the whole Twilight/True Blood vampire trend, perhaps these kicks will provide the final touch to this year’s Halloween costume.

Alife Everybody Mid Black Suede Pack

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 11:28 AM PDT

Alife has dressed the Everybody Mid in black suede for this fall. The “Black Suede“ pack possesses two pairs of the Everybody silhouette each with an all-black upper comprised of suede and leather piping.

It seems Alife has embraced the age-old blue vs. pink color contrast brought to us all by the archetypal infant-yielding stork. Scoop either colorway at Flauge and decide whether you prefer to embrace the color consistent with your gender or flout the norm and don the “supposed” other sex’s color.

Nike Air Structure Triax 91 Electric Green/Blue Sapphire

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 10:58 AM PDT

The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 has been releasing in a broad range of colorways as of late, including the Premium Brown/Black/Purple and the lesser-loved Black/Pink/Red, and now we get our first look at a clean, nearly all-white model for Spring 2010.

This pair is a great example of what can be done with a white base and just a few well-placed accents. The Blue Sapphire swoosh stitching and outsole jump off the base first, as does the blue patent leather on the heel. Two other nice details are the switch to white patent leather on the swoosh and pearl white on the heel cap. Electric Green appears on the stitched Nike logos and the heel Air unit, as well as the outer plastic top lace hole surround.

With Fall and Winter still in store for 2009, is it too early to get pumped for these 2010 releases?

Vans Mid Skool ‘77

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 10:28 AM PDT

In mid-June, we showed you the upcoming Vans Mid Skool ‘77 lineup in which many of you did not show a lot of interest in. However, for some, it is a quick break from the numerous Old Skool colorways we see on a regular basis. With that said, Vans has released the sky blue colorway of the Mid Skool ‘77 on its online store.

It features an all-suede, sky blue upper with minimal white details on the side panels (Vans stripe logo), tongue, shoelaces and heel panel. To coincide with the white details, this shoe also contains a traditional white rubber sole. This shoe, along with the previously mentioned colorways, is now available at Vans’s online store for $55.

Nike Zoom LeBron Ambassador II ORAP

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 09:58 AM PDT

Pics of LeBron’s second take on the Ambassador namesake, the Ambassador II, surfaced back in March first, and we recently saw pics of LBJ wearing them on his Asia Pacific Tour, but now we have some detailed photos of this low-cut silhouette, with China’s countryside as a backdrop.

The “ORAP” moniker is a new one, standing for “Outdoor Rubber Asia Pacific.” As mentioned in the aforementioned article, this specific model is designed as a cheaper alternative to the already familiar Air Max LeBron VII. Like the Soldier III XDR, this model features tougher rubber on the outsole, allowing outdoor play with a longer lifespan than traditional sneakers. The design is nice and simple, featuring an almost entirely-white upper, though heavily branded, highlighted with grey and red accents, all over a black midsole and red outsole.

In one of the most populous countries in the world, where space is a premium and an open court a luxury, it’s nice to see a sneaker designed for playing ball wherever a hoop can be posted.

Air Jordan Flight 45

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 07:21 PM PDT

The latest Air Jordan Flight 45 possesses a combination of Red and Black. It remains simple with most part of the upper wrapped up with Black and with the strap on the upper section. This is not much of an interesting colorway but believing that the man behind it is a hero on the court will give you an inspiration while these kicks are on. [NiceKicks]

Here is a look at the brand new Nike Air Max Spot Up Black/Blue/Yellow, which will be the new signature shoe for Dirk Nowitzki. The upper on these are predominantly black, but feature blue and yellow accents that really make them pop. These would make a great pair of shoes for the court. [Schuh-You]
