Jordan Trunner LX 11

Jordan Brand released a number of Jordan Trunner LX 11 colorways during the summer. Expect to see a few more colorways of this performance-driven shoe during the fall. Today, we take a look at the three-sneaker Jordan Trunner LX 11 October 2011 Lineup. Jordan Brand will obviously supply us with subtle colorways of this trainer. The pair shown above mixes Black and Royal Blue on the upper, while another pair comes in a darker toned Obsidian suede base. Lastly, the third pair is constructed in Black and Team Orange suede. Each pair will be available in October for $105 each.

Nike Lunar Hypergamer White/Gorge Green & White/Midnight Navy

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 12:28 PM PDT

Nike Lunar Hypergamer White/Gorge Green & White/Midnight Navy

Nike Basketball went elbow deep into a grab bag of tech for the newest addition to the lineup, the Lunar Hypergamer. With a bulky Lunarlon midsole bolstered by a standard herringbone outsole, the base for the Hyperfuse upper is definitely solid. We checked out two sick, camo-covered colorways last month, and now two more team-friendly looks have landed in stores. These Midnight Navy and Gorge Green-highlighted colors are available now at Eastbay for $110.

My 5: Casey Veggies’ Sneaker Rotation

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 11:58 AM PDT

My 5: Casey Veggies' Sneaker Rotation

Who's really wavy? Casey Veggies, that's who. The 18-year-old MC has caught the attention of Jay-Z, torn up tracks with Tyler the Creator, and boasts Kevin Durant as a fan. Despite the flattering co-signs the un-signed rapper is as independent as they come. Raised in Inglewood but immersed in the Fairfax scene, Casey grew up hooping, skating, and rapping. You couldn't compose a better Venn diagram for a sneakerhead and with such a pedigree comes diverse taste. Read on to see what the Peas & Carrots rapper is rocking.

Air Jordan 3 "True Blue"

Casey Veggies: “I picked those up when they dropped. I love performing in those. I haven't hooped in the True Blues but I wear them out. I've always loved the retro Jordans, I had the retro 12s when I was like 8 years old.”

In Retrospect: Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl”

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 11:46 AM PDT

If you recall, the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro first re-released in 2009 to many people’s excitement; however, at the time, it was a very limited release seeing that Nike only stocked it in various House of Hoops retailers nationwide. Therefore, Nike again released this shoe last September; this time, they made it more widely available and gave everybody an opportunity at one of the better Foamposite Pro colorways to date.

Were you able to get your hands on the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl”, and was it worth the money you paid for it? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged them last September? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Foamposite releases of 2010? Let us know your thoughts on the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” in the comment section below.

Air Jordan 4 "Military"

If you thought 2011 was a great year for sneaker collectors and sneakerheads, wait until you hear what’s in store for 2012. With the Air Jordan 4 White/Cement Grey-Black already confirmed as an early February release, it comes as no surprise that Jordan Brand will continue to release Air Jordan 4 colorways later in 2012. We have just confirmed through sources at NT that the Air Jordan 4 Military Blue/White will also be returning next year. This is great news as it has been nearly five years since we last saw this colorway hit shelves. Will this be a purchase you make ?

Jordan Melo M8 “Blackout”

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 09:56 AM PDT

Jordan Melo M8 "Blackout"

Carmelo Anthony was heavily involved in this year’s Future Sole Competition; he specifically chose the winning design, a version of the Jordan Melo M8 designed by Nick Daiber of Highland, IL. While we await detailed photos of the winning creation, a shot of the Jordan Melo M8 “Blackout” has surfaced on the web. It features a healthy dosage of patent leather and Flywire on the upper, with the latter technology smothering the entire side panel. Jordan Brand also incorporated visible Zoom Air in the forefoot. Stay tuned for more photos and information regarding the Jordan Melo M8.

Release Reminder: Nike LeBron 8 PS “Finals”

Posted: 01 Sep 2011 12:55 PM PDT

Nike LeBron 8 PS

Although the 2011 NBA Finals ended in June, there is still a piece of the Dallas Mavericks vs Miami Heat series to be had in the form of this Nike LeBron 8 PS “Finals”. If you recall, James debuted this shoe in game 3 of the Finals series to coincide with the Miami Heat’s red ‘Away’ jerseys. Nike’s Fuse technology covers the majority of the upper, while a Del Sol outlined Swoosh and White/Del Sol LeBron tongue logo, provide nice color compliments. It also features a black based, speckled 180-degree Air Max unit. Is this the best LeBron 8 PS to date? The Nike LeBron 8 PS “Finals” will hit select retailers and Nike’s online store tomorrow.

adidas adi Navvy Boot Black/White Vapour

After a well-embraced web debut yesterday, the adidas adi Navvy Boot returns in a Black/White Vapour colorway. More reserved than its brown counterpart, this noir makeup offers little contrast relying on tonal blocking. Tumbled and smooth leather compose the black-based upper set over a white vapour sole. Available at Shop adidas.
