The old “Where are you Yeezy?” is a question pretty much nobody is asking at the moment, as his current trip to London with newfound fling Kim Kardashian has been buzzing on the blogs since they landed across the pond. Of course his outfits have people talking as usual as well, and while certain elements remain a...

The Nike Air Max ‘Air Attack Pack’ of 2010 brought in five Air Max 1 bangers in tonal uppers, funky materials, and sleek colorways. This upcoming Black/Blue release can easily join that set as it features an all-black-everything vibe with mesh and synthetic suede on the upper and just the right hints of blue on the...

What happens when you apply modern construction techniques and a slimmed down sole to what was arguably 1993′s very best running sneaker?  RBK already showed us both the ‘Tricolore’ and ‘Citron’/'Firecracker Red’ OG drops as a smooth transition to debut the Reebok Pump Fury HLS, and now we...

Whenever the New Balance 1500 crosses your mind, don’t you usually picture them in suede?  This premium 1988 runner has been issued in innumerable suede and mesh colorups over the years, but even if that’s the ‘standard’ form, you can’t really argue with a small change that produces results like...

How many pairs of the Nike SB Team Edition do you own? Chances are not too terribly many as this model has been quiet lately, seemingly content to let the signature bearing Nike SB team models take the spotlight. The summer selection is serving up at least one colorway, this pair of silver sidewalk surfers that keep things...

When will Supra bring out the seemingly inevitable Skylow 3?  We’ve seen lowtop versions for each of Chad Muska’s first two Crown brand signatures, but given that the second one just arrived a couple months back, we’ll probably be waiting on the 3s for a good while.  Good news, then, that a...

The Van Doren Rubber Company’s original sneaker was 1966′s ‘#44′, a vulc-soled deck shoe whose popularity quickly led to the advent of the Slip-On.  That model, in turn, was utilized as the basis for Vans’ first true skateboarding sneaker, the Era.  So that first drop that we’ve come to...

Between the Swizz Beatz-curated Basquiat collabos to the Dream Team-ish ‘USAB’ colorway and last summer’s NFL Pack, we haven’t seen all that many ‘regular’ Reebok Pump Omni Lites hit retailers of late.  That means these three new pairs come as a nice surprise, and it’s clear...

It’s not a deliberate ‘pack’ in the same sense as something like the ‘Road to London’ set(s) or their upcoming Flimby 30th anniversary celebration, but New Balance is clearly working with a theme across multiple models in their mid-high number range.  Having seen similar motifs applied to the 998...

How did a random Nike runner end up being one of the most exciting new designs for 2012? The super comfy pliable mesh upper is a big part, pair that with clean and simple colorblocking and a tiny price tag for a modern Swoosh model and you’ve pretty much got it. We’re speaking of the Nike Roshe Run, a model set to...

Tiger Woods is ready to bring some new flavor to the green by wearing the all-new Nike TW ’13 – a combination of rugged Free-soled spikes and a sleek stitch-less minimalist upper. More ‘SFB’ than ‘golf’, the TW ’13 appears to be one of the most advanced golf shoes to date – quite...

It seems like all brands are coming at full force this summer, taking advantage of the school-free zone and whipping out some of the best releases of the year. From Jordan Brand, we already know about the Golden Moments Pack, but another set of AJKO’s are poised to make a return as well. The ‘Gold Medal’...

NIKE AIR MAX 1 WEEK Finishing off this string of Air Max 1 collaborations is 2006′s partnership with legendary UK-based artist Ben Drury. Drury, who was world-renown for his extensive work in the music industry, composing the artwork for label Mo’Wax, first collaborated with Nike Sportswear in 2006 as part of the...

Down 2-0, but the Series shifts back to Los Angeles. Laker nation, does Kobe have what it takes to lead his team to a comeback and possibly tie the series in the next two games? Game 3 tips off tonight at the Staples Center, so hopefully a win will have you back on the Kobe VII wagon as the Concord/Cool Grey drops tomorrow at...

The words “What the…” are typically followed by a four-letter expletive, but in tomorrow’s case, that word will be anchored at three as the Nike Air Max ‘What The Max’ gets ready for a retail release at select Nike Sportswear retailers. These have already hit shops in Asia a few weeks back,...

After reporting numerous updates regarding the enigmatic release of the ‘Entourage’ SB Dunk Low, we’ve finally reached a release date as it appears that May 19th seems to be the target drop date for most Nike SB account holders. Just yesterday we hit you up with the May 19th release info for Premier, so be...

If you’ve got some Air Jordan money stashed away this month, you’d better cop the Air Jordan XII ‘Cool Grey’, because that’s the last Air Jordan release scheduled for the month! Although it’s not an original colorway, it pushes forward the ‘Cool Grey’ lineage, adopting a...

Foot Locker’s premium retail experience House of Hoops continues to spread its influence about the nation, gearing up to open the doors on a new brick and mortar spot out in Besthesda, MD. As the second one in Maryland, this should guarantee plenty more heads in the DMV area a shot a locking down some of the more...

We can think of three reasons why 2008 was a great year for the Boston Celtics. Ray Allen was one of the two superstars that joined Paul Pierce in New England, and not surprisingly, all three of the Boston ‘Three’ Party ended up in New Orleans for the All-Star Game in February of 2008. During that game, Jordan...

In almost every case except sneaker-centric conventions, buying your kicks from a traveling retailer who temporarily sets up shop at an open-air market isn’t exactly the best investment you can make.  On the other hand, when one thinks of the kind of goods you’ll find at modern farmer’s markets, it’s...

From clues like the various ‘destination’ luggage tag-style hangtags and an almost DNA sequence-like multicolor print on each pair’s tongue, we can reasonably surmise that the ‘RTTG’ editions of Jordan Brand’s upcoming Super Fly basketball shoe are telling (at least part of) a story...

Gourmet most recently graced the Sneaker News headlines with a Goyard print-enhanced black leather 22 hightop created for Jay-Z with the Brooklyn Nets new logo on the tongue.  This is a brand, though, that’s largely been able to make their name soley on in-house designs like the impressive new spread coming up for the...

Tomorrow, Bayern will face off against Chelsea in the Champions League Final, but if you needed another galvanizing jolt of high-octane football action, this latest ad by Nike Football will keep your inner juices running at full speed . In a classic 1 vs. 100 match-up taken from some of the most historic battle scenes in film...

Instagram has become the most widely embraced medium of sharing photos with millions of users now logged on and snapping away. Celebrities and major companies have also joined in on the photo-sharing fun, and just recently Jordan Brand became an official instagrammer by putting out its first photo – the classic shot of...

It wouldn’t be too presumptuous to state that the Air Jordan XII is the ‘easiest’ to color-block, given the shoe has a rather simplistic build compared to other Air Jordans in the legacy. That’s probably why the Air Jordan XII has such a vast PE library, with this ‘Rip City’ joint just being...

The baddest sneaker event in the world hits the Chi tomorrow as Sneaker Con brings the heat to the Windy City Field House for a sick day-long event! The doors will open tomorrow at noon, but be sure to arrive there early to guarantee the earliest entrance into the venue. You can expect thousands of your fellow sneaker-crazed...

We’ve shown you both of each their GT-IIs and Gel Lyte IIIs, so what does the PYS-affiliated Bait retail spot have on tap as the fifth member of its Asics ‘Rings Pack’ collaboration?  The Bait x Asics Gel Saga features a simple black/grey/white design that’s easily the calmest of the five, a subtle...

Jordan Brand continues to expand the library of kids releases with the Air Jordan VII GS in White/Pink (seen yesterday) and the ‘Golden Moments’ Pack, so even if you’ve never had the pleasure of watching the man play the game in the Bulls uniform, you can at the very least appreciate his lasting legacy with...

When will the South Beach/Miami vibe run out of steam? With the quick sell-out of the Floridians low and June 2nd’s South Beach Elite poised to be one of the best releases of the year, it looks like ‘South Beach‘ and all of its tangential colorways are staying put. Mache Customs put that idea to the test as...

Boxing fans have been clamoring for a PacMan vs. Pretty Boy fight for several years now, but if a fight were to go down, would the mounting hype lead to an inevitable disappointment in the ring? It would certainly go down as one of the most anticipated fights in history, but clearly the two top-level fighters are flying one...

Last year, Jordan Brand commemorated the ‘Year Of The Rabbit’ with three tributary releases in the form of the Air Jordan VII Retro, Air Jordan 2011, and Air Jordan 2011 Q Flight. If Jordan Brand wants to keep pace (and it should, more goodies for us), they’ve got at least two more to go, but here’s a...

Here’s an interesting thought: is there anyone in the NBA that should act as an ambassador to the Air Penny line, much like how Dwyane Wade continued the Air Jordan legacy until he gained his own signature shoe? There aren’t too many players that have Penny’s game, which can best be described as an amalgam of...

Scottie Pippen’s Nike Air Maestro All-Star might be one of the most daring Nike Basketball sneakers of the decade, owning that sick tonal-red ‘look at me!’ colorway in the high-top profile (and yes, someone actually wore them last week and was featured on Monday’s ‘Best of WDYWT’). A similar...

Here comes a new Nike Huarache Basketball 2012 that despite featuring the same dual-colored mesh toe as many of this year’s other Free-soled drops, ends up feeling like a left field drop. But regular Sneaker News readers will remember this as one of the first colorways from this model we previewed back in July 2011,...
