Now that we are seeing the come back of the super high top skateboarding sneaker, the originator returns to make sure that everyone remembers who started all this. In the 1980s Airwalks were worn by some of the Worlds top skateboarders including Tony Hawk, and today’s ‘My Name is Earl’ star, and yesterday’s street skating pioneer, Jason Lee. However, when the brand was sold in the mid 90s, the new ownership pushed Airwalk in a different direction that eventually lost favor with the skateboarding market. Recently rumors have been swirling about Jeff Staple playing a part in the resurrection of the once skateboarding champion, and today Airwalk is making its grand re-entrance with the return of the Airwalk Prototype 600°F. One of the original super high top skateboarding shoes released in the 80′s. The Airwalk Prototype 600°F boast a huge and almost indestructible upper featuring many skate friendly features that have gone by the wayside. The side panel and heel of the shoe feature rubber reinforced protection to prevent those nagging and inevitable ollie holes. The rest of the upper is mostly leather or suede with a lacing system that promises to take you as high as your willing to go. On the side panel we see the return of Airwalks mascot, Ollie in his famous ‘airwalk’ pose. It wont be long before the Airwalk Prototype 600°F once again goes down in the history books. Only 144 pairs will be released per colorway. The Info: The Hundreds

It’s safe to say that more than a few minds were blown when images of the Nike Air Hoop Structure first surfaced last month. The notion of a classic running model being transformed into a basketball sneaker was relatively unheard of, although it might seem like a no-brainer now. Obviously the foundation of the design is the Air Structure Triax 91, but you may have thought to yourself that the protruding bubble on the ankle was similar to the Air Jordan VI. While this is in no indicated way a Jordan Fusion model, this new black/infrared colorway seems like another subtle nod to the classic Jordan model. Look for these beauties to drop sometime this fall. Thanks to J.Gibson for the photo.

Continuing their Championship Pack paying homage to Micheal Jordan’s road to the ultimate prize, Jordan Brand’s next release will honor the now defunct Seattle Supersonics.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Phats are either available in mostly white or black leather upper, with dark green and gold Seattle accents. Be on the look out for the ‘Supersonics’ Air Jordan 1 Low Phat to hit your local Jordan account mid March, but don’t hesitate or they will be gone forever like the NBA Franchise.

By now, you’ve probably already seen the White Men Can’t Jump Air Flight Lite High from the recent Media Pack, but it appears that Nike isn’t done paying homage to the classic b-ball flick. Nike went a different route this time, using the yet to be released Nike Hyperlite to further immortalize the baddest 2 man squad since King and Duck. The upper is a fairly simple white, but there are some bright accent colors that may have been seen on one of Sidney Deane’s flipped brim bicycling hats or Billy Hoyle’s notorious pumpable Nike Air Command Forces.

Speaking of gear worn by Woody Harrelson in White Men Can’t Jump, this Hyperlite goes a step further in its tribute than the Flight Lite did by adding a very special tongue label. Reinterpreting the “Parental Advisory” logo that appeared on Woody’s t-shirt in the movie, the tag on the tongue features his famous line, “I’M IN THE &*#@ING ZONE!” Stay tuned for release info so you too can get “in the zone.” Much thanks to J. Gibson for the photos.

Last week, we got a nice look at a pair of selvage denim Nike Terminators and now it appears that the Nike Blazer High will also flaunt similar materials on an upcoming model. The Blazer version uses contrasting shades of blue denim on the upper with some subtle red and orange highlights and stitching. Like the Terminator, this shoe sticks to the jeans theme with a copper rivet on the heel and the Levi’s-inspired Nike tag. While the two styles use similar materials, a black midsole and swoosh gives the Blazer a darker overall look than its predecessor. Look for both selvage denim Nike models at select retailers sometime this fall. Much thanks to J. Gibson for the photo.

Japanese label, Product, has joined forces with Fila to collaborate on a swanky new version of their 70′s Fitness sneaker. Two things jump right out at first glance. These kicks are outfitted with a green/red/green Gucci-inspired striped band on the ankle and feature a foldable tongue flap. If that wasn’t enough, a luxurious combination of black suede and croc skin make up the rest of the upper with some nice gold accents providing additional flavor. Although the Gucci theme has already been used by other brands, this is undeniably one of the freshest results we’ve seen. Available now at Limited EDT.

We already knew they were coming; the precedent has been set.  It’s just that these look so good that it doesn’t even matter if they were created to finish a collection; they stand on their own merit.  The Air Jordan 1 Low Phat pairs designed with the Utah Jazz in mind might be the finest in the humongous Championship Pack.  There’s a black suede pair and one in white pebbled leather with blanco patent accents.  Both are built atop Aqua-like bottoms: purple midsoles are stitched with the upper colour while a vivid blue outsole grounds the whole deal.  These beauties will release aside the Jazz-inspired Six (6) Rings on March 28 with an MSRP of $95.
