Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Detailed Shots

Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Detailed Shots
Yesterday we previewed you with a zoomed out shot of Jordans Silver Anniversary Collection. Seeing as how it was zoomed we couldn’t really get a good look at the sneakers to tell how the colorway fit the Jordans. Now we have some close up shots of the Air Jordan 1, 6, 11, 16 and 21 and can get a much better look.

All of the sneakers feature a leather upper and the sneakers which are famous for their icy soles have that feature as well. At first glance from a distance I thought the pack was nice but after seeing the closer shots I’m definitely feeling the colorway. We only have these pictures for now and we will keep you posted as more start popping up, but for now enjoy the couple we have below.

Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High Premium

Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High Premium
This year, Nike dropped some major heat in the Nike SB Dunk department, with one of the latest being the Nike SB Dunk High “Gucci” RESN. The “Gucci” pair has been a long time favorite of many fans, and after being released, there was no other SB Dunk pair to look forward to for this year, until Skate Mental came along. Skate Mental and Nike have teamed up to bring out yet another SB Dunk High Premium.
This new collaboration brings an all new look for the SB Dunk High Premium, using a mainly brown premium suede upper, and an off white toe guard and mid sole. To add contrast to the simple, yet elegant upper, Carolina Blue is used in the Nike Swoosh, the inner lining, and the tongue. The tongue tag features both parts of the collaboration, with the Nike logo as well as the SM logo. These kicks are available now at select retailers like CaliRoots.

Nike Air Max Skyline – Aqua

Nike Air Max Skyline 8211 Aqua
Seems recently everyone wants to get their hands on a pair of “Aqua” colored sneakers. Just couple of days ago we previewed you with the Nike Air Hoop Structures which also featured an Aqua colorway, that came out very nice, and now here we present you with Nike’s new Air Max Skylines which feature the same “Aqua 8’s” color scheme.
The Air Max Skyline is a new model that Nike has been working on and they are doing a pretty good job on incorporating a retro design while keeping the sneaker modern with features such as Air Max’s DNA air sole system. No release information has been made available yet but we will make sure to keep you posted.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam Release Date Change

Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam Release Date Change
Christmas is right around the corner and we have already seen the malls and parking spaces to fill up. We all know it’s a pretty hectic season and at first the Jordan brand decided to release the Space Jams on the 23rd of December but it seems that they have changed the release date.
The new release date is December 24th. Now we know the date was only pushed forward one day but we all know the difference between two days before Christmas and the day before Christmas, at least for shoppers, is huge. So make sure to be there early as a lot of people will be missing out on these this year and remember they will be retailing for 175$.

Jordan Silver Anniversary Collection

Jordan Silver Anniversary Collection
About a week ago or so we showed you the Nike Town White and Red Jordan collection which included every Jordan from the Air Jordan 1’s to the 2009’s. Now here we have a preview of a similar collection but this time instead of a white and red colorway they switched it up to feature white and silver.
This collection is featured at the Jordan headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon and is another celebration commemorating Jordans 25 years. There where a couple out of the white and red set that people didn’t like so let us know if you like this set better or would simply stick with the white and red line up.

Nike Dunk High Premium QS “DJ AM”

Nike Dunk High Premium QS DJ AM
August 28th, 2009, one of the most tragic days that many of us will remember for the rest of our lives. A date in which one of the greatest DJ’s has fallen, named DJ AM. DJ AM had passed away at the age of 36, and at such a young age he has achieved many great things. Right after his passing it was announced that Nike had collaborated with DJ AM and had produced a Dunk sneaker collection.
The Nike Dunk High Premium QK “DJ AM” is featured in a red and black colorway, along with the reflective 3M accents. The red upper is created with premium leathers, while the black comes in patent leather. The mesh of the two materials bring out the best featured of the sneaker, along with the color. Also found on the kicks is a black sole and white mid-sole. Finally to remember the greatest DJ, Nike had decided to put a DJ AM logo tag on the tongue. If interested, you can pick up a pair now at Kasina.

Nike Air Force 1 High Black/Gum

Nike Air Force 1 High BlackGum
One of the most prestigous sneakers ever are the Nike Air Force 1’s. We’ve seen them in so many different models in different colorways, designs, and materials. Today we have a chance to look at yet another pair of the Air Force 1’s. We’re really a fan so every time we see a new pair of Air Force 1’s we’re really excited.
The Nike Air Force 1 High is introduced to us in a dominant black leather upper, which is sitting on a nice gum sole. Something different from most AF1 is the strap that is presented to us on the heel, which is made up of a snakeskin material. If you’re interested the sneaker is available now at Chapter Express, in women sizing.

Jordan Icons Black/Red-White

Jordan Icons BlackRedWhite

Did you end up liking the new Jordan Brand silhouettes this year such as the Hallowed Ground, the 16.5 and the B’Loyal? We know you would rather prefer retros over the latest silhouettes; however, new models can raise eyebrows as well. In addition to the Air Jordan 2010, JB will unleash another new team model dubbed the Jordan Icons.
At a first glance, you can see that the Icons draws much of its inspiration from the Air Jordan XX and the Air Jordan XX3. Specifically, the stitching on the side panels and the tongue is obviously a similar copy of the Air Jordan XX3, while the midsole and outsole construction is identical to the Air Jordan XX. Other features include the new 23/25 logo and the ever-so-popular Bred color scheme (see our Best of Bred: Top Black & Red Air Jordans of All Time). What are your thoughts on the Jordan Icons?

Nike 1/2 Cent Black/Green Spark

Nike 12 Cent BlackGreen Spark

Three colorways of the Nike ½ Cent have already hit shelves: Royal Blue/Black, Black/Black, and Metallic Silver/Black. There has been much debate as to which colorway rules supreme. Many OG ‘heads tout the Royal Blue colorway as it reps Penny the best. Others, including many a Roc-Nation member, seem to prefer the Black/Black joints. And who can’t get caught up on the illustrious Silver Surfers?
The fourth and final ½ Cent make-up, Black/Green Spark, is soon to release in December and may be pre-ordered for a sub-retail price at Shoe Trends. Thanks to Daily Drop for the info.

Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Detailed Look

Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Detailed Look

The Silver Anniversary of Jordan Brand has provided many ooportunities to honor the legacy, and promote the future, of the Air Jordan line of sneakers. We’ve seen sneak peeks of a white and silver limited collection display for months now, and we finally got a good look a few days ago. Today, we get a good look at a few of the display pairs.
Here we see the Air Jordan 1, 6, 11, 16 and 21. All feature a white leather upper with either a white or icy clear outsole. The 1s are obviously different from the Silver Anniversary pair we saw yesterday, as these are designed solely for display at the Oregon Jordan Headquarters.
Which of the five is your favorite? Let us know in the comments section.
