Clark Kent x Nike Air Force 1 Hi Supreme NYC
Clark Kent, known for releasing many colorways of the Air Force 1 in different motifs, has done it again. Once again teaming up with Nike, Clark Kent has decided to release a pair of Air Force 1 Hi Supreme inspired by the New York Knicks, but if you insist on the New York Mets, we won’t argue with you, although the Yankees won the World Series.
The sneaker featured a very dominant black upper and is accented with orange and blue, the accents are found on the side panel, laces, heel, and the sole. The upper is completely leather and a .044 sticky rubber outersole which can give you great grip when playing basketball. The shoe comes packaged in a orange box with a large Nike NYC patch.

Air Jordan 12 (XII) Retro Black/Red “Flu Game”

Air Jordan 12 XII Retro BlackRed Flu Game
A brand that will never be forgotten is Air Jordan, as it’s released many sneakers in different models and in different colorways. One of there most prestigous kicks are the Air Jordan 12 (XII). This time we’re presented to a black and red colorway, which goes perfectly with the Chicago Bulls home jersey. What makes the sneaker different though is the inspiration behind the sneaker.
The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Black/Red now titled “Flu Game” has gotten it’s name from Michael Jordan, as he played against the Jazz in 1997 and put up 38 points while he had the flu. The sneaker contains a dominant black upper, along with dark red which is found on the sole and mid-sole. Also found on these kicks are the numbers 97, the year Jordan played against Jazz, and 38, which is the amount of points he scored against them. Overall another Jordan Brand sneaker which will most likely sell out. Available now at Kix-Files.

Nike Air Classic BW Black/Torquoise

Nike Air Classic BW BlackTorquoise
One of the fan favorites, the Nike Air Classic BW, has been introduced to us in a new colorway. The sneaker is kept Classic, hint the name, as they include the original Air Max bubble we’re used to seeing. This time Nike has given the Nike Air Classic BW a different look, including the white line that is drawn straight through the sneaker, something that gives the sneaker more spice.
Featured on the upper is a dominant black colorway, which backed up with turquoise. The mesh of both colors are amazing, and with the mix of the mesh and leather, which can be found on the heel and front the sneaker is almost perfect. What gives the sneaker a different look is the white line that wraps around the sneaker, many people will probably like this but we’re sure many other people will dislike it. The shoe is available now at select retailers and wellgosh.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium QS – Navy/Purple

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium QS 8211 NavyPurple
When collaborating together, Patta and Nike always make an amazing product, such as these Patta x Nike Air Max 1. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen these two collaborate, as we’ve seen then work on the same sneaker model in various colorways. Today they give us a look at the Nike Air Max 1 in a QS, which will once again be shown to us in a brand new colorway, in total this will be the third colorway they’ve released.
We found the sneaker very interesting and love the mix of colors. If you look closely the laces are blue and go very well with the denim purple which is located mostly on the toe box and heel. In the mixture, Patta and Nike have decided to add a touch of red around the tongue and eye lids and a splash of green on the Nike Swoosh. The sneaker is set to release November 28th at Patta Amsterdam.

Release Reminder Air Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game

This Black Friday, November 27th, 2009, Jordan Brand will unleash the second installment of its major holiday releases in the form of the Air Jordan 12 Retro “Flu Game”.
The Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” is a carbon color copy of the Air Jordan XII Black/Varsity Red that released in 1997. However, there are a number of differences between  the two. This time around, Jordan Brand applied nubuck on the upper in exchange for the leather seen on the OGs. In addition, the heel panel features an imprint of a sick face and the numbers ‘97′ and ‘38′. These attributes represent Jordan scoring 38 points in the ‘97 Finals while having the flu. Is this a must-have for you?

Jordan Flight 45 High White/Blue

Jordan Flight 45 High WhiteBlue

just yesterday we got a look at the release-ready Jordan Flight 45 “Command Force”, and saw some all grey Highs the day before that. Next on our list of expected colorways is this white, black and blue high-top pair, scheduled for a Spring 2010 release.
As you can see, white pebbled leather is used throughout the upper, while blue wrap around the heel and onto the upper. The same royal hue is used on the outsole, as well. The strap, which readers have labeled as a design cue of controversy thanks to its make-it or break-it nature, is black, matching the midsole accent. With its polarizing design, the Flight 45 High has gained both fans and haters. Which camp are you in?

Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Rudy Gay PE “Home”

Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Rudy Gay PE Home

Rudy Gay is off to an amazing start. He’s scoring, grabbing boards and making enough “posters” to line the walls of an entire house himself. We saw these black PEs awhile back next to Deron Williams’, but this is our first detailed look at his white pair.
These Nike Zoom Sharkalaids of course use Memphis Grizzlies colors, with navy blue being the choice for the outsole and tongue. A golden yellow midsole is used, matching the laces and stitching on the straps. The straps are the most unique part of this make-up actually, as they’re completely clear with a shot of bright blue. There’s no word on whether these will release like their counterpart, but we can see them in action on Kicks on Court.

Nike Air Max 90 Premium “Hot Red”

Nike Air Max 90 Premium Hot Red

From the Air Hoop Structure to the Air Structure Triax 91, Hot Red has been used as an accent throughout 2009. And to wrap up this month, we’ll see it again on an Air Max 90 Premium.
Black, white and flint grey comprise the upper, including a leather mudguard around the bottom. Hot Red is used around the Air Max bubble window, on the lace guards and heel, breaking and brightening up the monotony of the darker hues used elsewhere.
With a number of Air Max releases planned for the future, where do you place these?
