If you’ve been monitoring all the previews of the upcoming Air Jordan Force VI Fusions, it’s officially time to make some tough choices. Three different pairs will hit stores today and unless you plan on copping all three, there are some decisions to be made. If it helps any, the White/Black/Electrolime is available at Nikestore.com and White/Black/Varsity Purple versions is available at Finishline.com as well as nationwide Jordan retailers and should be a little easier to get your hands on. The Black/Walnut/Court Blue (Black History Month) pair on the other hand drops at the Air Jordan Flight Club and House of Hoops and will be a bit scarcer. Happy hunting with whichever you decide on.

Earlier, we showed you Pau Gasol’s Nike Hypermax PE (player exclusive) to match his Los Angeles Lakers’ home jerseys. We’ve seen Carlos Boozer’s Nike PEs before, and since C.Booz’ bucks are largely earned by his powerful post presence, the Hypermax is a good fit for his latest kicks. Rocking a simple columbia blue and black colourway with hints of white, Boozer’s PE perfectly matchs the Utah Jazz away jersey. After the jump, you’ll see a pic of Boozer ballin’ in his Power Max PE. It’s up to you to decide which you like better, and if you’re feelin’ the Hypermax, Marqueesole has US sizes 9.5-10.5. Pics via Kenlu

Pau Gasol already has his own player exclusive (PE) version of the Nike Power Max. While he’s certainly the better performer of the Spanish-born Gasol brothers, we wouldn’t typically think of him as a multiple-release guy. Pau has rocked those Power Max and a few different pairs of Hyperdunk PEs, so the next logical step would be a combination of their strengths: the Nike Hypermax. Combining the Flywire-eqipped upper from the Hyperdunk with the full length Air Max sole on the Power Max and throwing in a ankle strap for extra stability, the Hypermax should be a perfect compliment to Pau’s smooth low post game. If you’re feelin the Los Angeles Lakers’ home white/purple/gold colourway, Marqueesole has them in US size 11. pics via Kenlu

Although the Half Cab has stolen some of its thunder over the years, the Vans Caballero is one of the most legendary sneakers in the vast Vans catalog. Originally introduced in 1989, the Steve Caballero signature model is back, celebrating its 20th anniversary in style. The shoe has been re-released by Vans in three colorways as a very special anniversary pack. The shoe will be available in black/white/red, charcoal/white and black/white/ultra-violet versions, all with the Roman numeral XX stitched into the heel and the years “1989-2009″ below it. All three Caballero’s come in a collector’s anniversary edition box and are available now at fuctard.

Earlier today, we gave you a look at a luxurious new burgundy patent leather makeover for three high-top Supra NS models, but it seems that they were only the beginning. The Supra Skytop, Strapped and Trinity will also be available in two other colors, also using premium materials. In addition to the patent burgundy, these three models will also come in metallic bronze and grey suede as well. The burgundy shoes are available now at select Supra accounts, with the Bronze Full Grain pack dropping March 1st and the Grey Tie Dye Suede collection coming a month later on April 1st. via HighSnobiety.

If you are not a fan of the Air Jordan Force Fusions, this may be a more understated way of showing your Jordan appreciation on a pair of Air Force 1′s. By now, you’ve probably already got a look at some of the elephant print Air Force 1 models, but you may not have seen this dark navy pair. Unlike the more subtle tonal printing on some other pieces of this collection, the elephant skin design on this low model features more of a contrast with tan printing on the dark upper. A white Swoosh and sole add additional accents that really make the shoe pop. They are officially scheduled to release on March 1st, 2009 but a few are already on eBay.
Release Date: 03/01/2009
Name: Air Force 1 Low Supreme
Style #: 318776-411
Colors: Dark Obsidian/White-Dark Obsidian
Price: $150

As many of you Jordan Brand fans already know the Air Jordan 6 Rings is a fusion of the different shoes MJ wore when he won each one of his six NBA Championship Rings, one of the most prominent shoes of the 6 Rings is the Air Jordan XIII and when the Air Jordan XIII was released in the late 1990′s there was one particular colorway that didn’t match any colorway of the Chicago Bulls uniform, but yet it still was loved by a number of Jordan fans, that particular colorway was the White and Flint Grey colorway of the AJ XIII. Now it looks like one of the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Rings colorways will be inspired off of that original “Flint Grey” Air Jordan XIII. As of right now we don’t have a release date for this pair, but stay tuned for more information. If you want to cop them before they drop you can pick them up now at marqueesole.
Release Date: 03/28/2009 (limited release)
Style: 322992-141
Color: White/French Blue-Flint Grey-University Blue

Nike Zoom LeBron VI – West on left – East on right
The above two colorways which recently released in most of the world just dropped officially here in the US this morning. The graffiti pattern on the sole of black/varsity royal/varsity maize colorway also has 3M which is an excellent detail. While white/university red/metallic silver colorway or the Ohio State colorway also features 3M on the sole, the pattern used there is a camouflage pattern. The insoles of both colorways features unique graffiti pattern. Look for these now at select Nike Basketball retailers including eastbay.com and nikestore.com.

For those of you who missed it last night, 2009 Slam Dunk Champ Krypto-Nate Robinson was on the Late Show with David Letterman. He repeated his winning dunk on the show but instead of jumping over Dwight Howard, he jumped over stage manager Biff instead.

Yesterday, photos from the Air Jordan 2009 – Korea Launch Ceremony were posted, in those photos were an unseen colorway of the Air Jordan 2009. Another Korean site just posted a few closer photos of the sneakers. The upper features black leather, silver pleated satin, and grey details. The sole features a combination of white, black and a solid red block on the APT heel. Based on the colors used on the Air Jordan 2009 above, it looks like its the April, 4th, 2009 release – 343084-062 – Black/Metallic Silver-Stealth-Varsity Red. As we await more details check out a few more photos below. Via Footsell
Update: We just learned this colorway won’t release. Thanks Sam/Kenlu
