Last night, we brought you news on the return of one of the all-time great Air Jordan colorways, and while these might not quite have the legendary status of the Infrared VI, they will still be a welcome addition to a lot of collections next year. Strangely, the Air Jordan X is a somewhat underappreciated model, despite its sleek silhouette, but anytime an OG colorway is Retroed with little to no changes, there can’t be much to complain about. This version of the Air Jordan X was originally released in 1995 and sports an unmistakable Bulls color scheme courtesy of a White upper with Black and True Red accents. Specific details on these are still unknown, but the word is that they’ll be hitting stores next March. We’ll be sure to keep you posted, and for now, you can check out some more pics after the jump.

Nike Basketball has collaborated with Hasbro’s Transformers II movie to release a pack of three shoes that will feature various logos from the Transformers. The first shoe from the pack is inspired by Bumblebee, the Yellow Transformer who protects Sam Witwicky in the new Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen movie. The best part about this Nike Basketball x Transformers II Pack is that not only do the shoe’s come with various Transformers logos on them but the shoeboxes that the shoe’s come in. The shoe boxes were designed to look similar to the boxes that the Hasbro Transformers toys come in. Each box features images of the Transformer the shoe was inspired by as well as some of the Transformer’s features. Look for the Nike Basketball x Transformers II Pack to hit the Footlocker House of Hoops in the upcoming weeks. via Kicks.cn / SC

We already knew that the Billy Hoyle edition of the Nike Hyperize White Men Can’t Jump Pack was inspired by his Air Command Forces, but now we can see exactly how faithful a reproduction the new release will be. In these side-by-side shots, it’s clear that Nike nailed the colour scheme, matching it tone for tone. The only differences are that the original Command Force featured a yellow midsole with black speckles, whereas the Hyperize is solid yellow, plus the Hyperize’s Swooshes are outlined in yellow, whereas the original was just black. Take a look at these and let us know if you think a retro for the Air Command Force is in order. via SC. Also available at Nikestore.com.

Sigg Jones is an upcoming animated feature created by three French film students. It’s an action packed tale that follows the story of a star ultimate fighter and his agent. What makes Sigg Jones sneaker relevant is that its creators are sneakerheads who have chosen to weave their love of kicks into the story and imagery. In this clip, you can see a pair of Dunk Lows transform into some incredible “Magic Dunks” and help the agent fend off Sigg in an amazing pulse-pounding fight sequence. In addition to the Dunks, there are also some nods to Puma, Reebok and adidas thrown in as well. You can watch the Sigg Jones sneak peek after the jump and take a nice look at some of the sneaker images from the movie. Via SnkrFrkr.

Having seen these in brief last week, let’s take a closer look at the vulcanized addition to Nike’s Selvage Denim Pack. The Nike Blazer High Premium pictured above takes a different route than some of the Swoosh’s most famous denim efforts, opting for the clean selvage look over a frayed aesthetic. Two toned denim creates an upper from which the black leather Swoosh jumps, while a strip of selvage lines the heel tab. The Levi’s-like ‘NIKE’ tag on the ‘NSW’ we saw on earlier samples of the selvage Terminator, but these are still unquestionably some of Nike Sportswear’s finest work. If you’re feelin the denim design, grab these today from Size?.
