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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

If you need more ‘posite’ in your life, you can be ‘posite-ively’ excited about the Nike Air Max Flyposite – a hybrid of the U.S. football-specific Zoom Flyposite and the 360-degree Max Air unit. Sneaker News first broke the news of the Air Max Flyposite when NSW head Gentry Humphrey presented it...

Sneaker News has now shown you both of the GT-IIs they have on tap for June’s ‘opening ceremonies’, and now we’ll move on to Bait’s Gel Lyte III collabo designs.  Just like the GTs, there are two Bait x Asics Gel Lyte IIIs coming up from their ‘Rings Pack’, though this first goes...

Vans is pulling a bunch of classic patterns out of their nearly five decade-deep archives this year, and what started as a part of the Van Doren series celebrating Off the Wall’s founders is now a pleasant surprise that’s spreading to all corners of their summer catalog.  The latest revelation is this Vans Vault...

The as yet unopened boutique Bait has a name that reflects the careful teasing with which it’s being rolled out, and it looks like they’ll have something to lure everyone when their doors open to sunny Orange County, California this June.  Fresh off the revelation of their Saucony Grid 9000 comes the first...

Intra-state rivalries are one of the best aspects of sports competitions. Yankees/Mets, Cubs/White Sox, Mavs/Rockets/Spurs – it’s all great, high-intensity fun. One of the more subdued territorial match-ups is between Orlando and Miami; both have stayed competitive in the NBA for several years (both the Heat and...

This upcoming Jordan Super Fly is a part of the still nebulous ‘RTTG’ collection, a set that’s been proposed to commemorate Jordan Brand’s ‘Road to the Gold’ this Olympic summer.  We’re still waiting on more details to bring this whole story together, because along with that...

Sneaker News continues our exposition of the Bait x Asics ‘Rings Pack’ with the second and final Gel Lyte III, a model that might be the most eye-catching of the entire set.  The other Bait x Asics Gel Lyte III also features a bit of asymmetrical blocking in its own right, but instead of a subtle switch of the...

The Bait x Asics ‘Five Rings’ pack includes three silhouettes spread across five colorways symbolizing the quadrennially ubiquitous Olympic flag.  Following up on the ‘Yellow Ring’ GT-II, this pair pictured above now represents both the wrap-up for that silo in this set and the ‘Red Ring’...

Celebrating the international heritage and legacy of football is the Nike Sportswear Summer Football Collection, highlighting four classics marked by performance football boots worn by national teams players in Munich, Poland, and Ukraine. The Air Max 1, Cortez, Tennis Classic AC and Gato are all linked to the Nike Clash...

We’ve been showing you detailed images of the Air Jordan VI ‘Gold Medal’, aka the ‘Golden Moments’, over the last couple of weeks, but the Air Jordan VI counterpart of that August 2012 Pack release has eluded us – until now. Here’s a rare look at the Air Jordan VI ‘Gold...

It seems like Nike is simple going down the list of Penny Hardaway’s NBA employers and creating great colorways of his sneakers with them (although the Air Penny V ‘Miami’, which we showed you detailed images of yesterday, isn’t anywhere close to a ‘Heat’ get-up). Here we have a first...

Ready for some more Air Jordan heat for this Summer? Arriving at select Jordan Brand retailers in the coming weeks as a Quickstrike drop are two Air Jordan AJKO releases; the AJKO is one of the more mysterious Air Jordan models of all-time, but 2010′s re-issue proved to be wildly popular and was considered one of the...

Riding high on his triple-MVP and first NBA Championship, Michael Jordan debuted the Air Jordan VII at the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, then went for another chip with the Bulls and his second Olympic gold in the Sevens.  Accordingly, this is one of the models taking center stage in Jordan Brand’s upcoming celebration of...

It’s hard to predict the results when two worlds collide. We’ve seen Nike put out some interesting hybrids and combinations that seem to make sense in theory or on paper, but none has made more sense than the Nike Air Trainer 1 ‘Safari’, slated to release at select Nike Sportswear retailers next month....

Wherever and whenever the mysterious Bait decides to open up its doors its apparently going to do so with a bang, with two collabos already secured. You already saw their Asics ‘Ring Pack’, now meet their take on the Saucony Grid 9000-that techy 90′s runner that has seen quite a few well executed collabs for...

The most recent Sneaker News headline referencing New Balance’s 1988 flagship runner was one of Nash (Money)’s crazy hybrid designs Frankensteining a Visvim FBT upper onto the sole of a spring 2012 NB 1500 release.  That collection’s successors are almost ready for introduction, their classically styled...

Kobe will need to bounce back against the Thunder for Game 2 if he wants to keep this series competitive because thus far, the Thunder have the Lakers outmatched in almost every category. But don’t underestimate the Black Mamba, who has demonstrated a killer instinct and can become one of the most unstoppable forces from...

When the Van Doren brothers opened their namesake rubber concern in Anaheim some forty-six years ago, they would take orders in the morning, spend the day making those shoes and have them ready for customers by the afternoon.  The success of the original #44 lowtop (later renamed Authentic) was strong enough to warrant a...

Our recent ‘On the Fence’ look at the ‘Cool Grey’ Air Jordan 12 suggests Jordanheads are looking toward others from this insanely packed summer full of heat. Among those ‘distracting’ other drops is another of this summer’s AJXII Retros, but not just any old combination of colors. This...

The Dream Team will celebrate 20 years this Fall 2012 season, so get ready for Nike’s tribute to the most treasured U.S. Olympic team of all-time! With a concentration on footwear, Nike Sportswear will bring back a set of Olympic-inspired sneakers that were worn during the Games, like the Air Force 180 worn by Sir...

Sneaker News just showed you a raging red colorway that’s coming up soon and now here comes the other Nike Zoom Solider 6 colorup we’d previewed in Monday’s first look. The Zoom Soldier VI looks so good in this combination of silver, black and blue that, judging by the earliest comments, might have those...

Updates regarding the Air Yeezy 2 release always seem to report a change, but just yesterday, Sneaker News provided you with a simple reminder that Air Yeezy 2 launch is still on schedule for June 9th in Australia. Production numbers are very limited (the entire continent of Australia is getting just 60 pairs total) so you can...
