Nike Air Max Hyperize “Final Four” Black/Orange-White

Nike Air Max Hyperize Final Four BlackOrangeWhite

To coincide with the ongoing March Madness NCAA Tournament, Nike unleashed an Air Max Hyperize “Final Four” Pack. So, what team does this particular colorway represent?
We would say Syracuse, but we will not get to see them anymore thanks to Butler’s great play. This Nike Air Max Hyperize features a black patent leather finish similar to three of the Air Max Hyperize incorporated in the “Final Four” Pack. Orange appears throughout the base, namely on the flywire section. It also contains an orange, full-length sole that is sure to bring more comfort to the foot. No word on when this shoe will release stateside, however, click here to view more photos

Nike Hyperdunk amp Zoom Kobe V Aston Martin Pack

This particular pack is undoubtedly inspired by the Kobe Bryant commercial in which he shows Ronnie Turiaf and the rest of us how to jump over an Aston Martin DB9. Both sneakers feature the exact color scheme that the car possessed in the commercial. Graphite grey makes up most of both sneakers, while minimal red and tan hints can be seen throughout the tongue, inner lining and various branding. The packaging is even more impressive. Nike decided to place a silhouette of Kobe getting ready to leap over the vehicle on the package with the phrase “That’s How You Do It” repeating all over (if you recall, Kove repeatedly said these words after jumping over the car). As stated earlier, you can purchase the pack now at KICKZ. Click here to view photos and check out the video of Kobe jumping the Aston Martin one more time.

Jordan Accolades Preview

Jordan Accolades Preview

Some of you really took a liking towards new Jordan silhouettes such as the Icons and the Alpha 1; however, the Jordan Accolades seems to be amongst the most hated right now. Therefore, a lot of you did not get your wish of these never hitting retailers. Jordan Brand will unleash three Accolades over a two-month period.
First off, Jordan Brand will release the Accolades Premier (shown to the right) and another Accolades draped in white/black-cement grey during the month of April. The Accolades Premier features a slew of laser-etched Accolades that MJ accomplished over his career. As for the previously-mentioned white/black-cement grey colorway, its distinctive attributes include elephant print seen on the heel panel and along the midfoot section. Last but not least, a black/varsity red-white pair, done up in suede, will surface in June. What are your final thoughts on the Jordan Accolades? Click here to view the lineup in its entirety.

Release Reminder Silver Anniversary Air Jordans
Earlier today, we notified you of the two Air Jordan 1 Retro KO Hi colorways releasing tomorrow; however, those Air Jordan 1s will have to play second fiddle to the trifecta of “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordans. Tomorrow, March 27th, 2010, Jordan Brand will release the “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordan 3 Retro, Air Jordan 4 Retro and Air Jordan 9 Retro for $150 apiece.
All three pairs feature a 100% white leather upper with minimal hints of metallic silver. Many of you have been skeptical about a couple of these sneakers seeing that they obviously remind you of the “Pure Money” Air Jordans that came out awhile back. Nonetheless, an all-white pair of Jordans is ideal for the spring/summer season. Which one of these will be a definite pickup for you? Click here to voice your opinion and view additional photos.
