We’ve been previewing this Nike Terminator High Premium for months now and the wait is finally over. We brought news a few days back that these and the Selvage Denim Blazer were beginning to hit stores and now we get our best look yet at this luxurious model. With its combination of black leather and different shades of blue denim, this shoe already looks great, but its the little touches that really make it something special. The contrasting gold stitching, copper rivets and Levi’s-style logo tab give these kicks an official blue jeans aesthetic and the brown leather tongue label puts the cherry on top. If you’ve been lusting over these since pics first started popping up in January, they can finally be yours if you get over to Size? now. You can check out a bunch more detailed images after the jump.

With Safari print all over the place of late, it’s nice to have a toned down pair like this to balance out some of the crazier designs. The Nike Air Classic BW appears above in a cement grey mix of nylon and nubuck. The tonal Swoosh plus black laces and rear midsole offer contrasting notes, but the real star of this shoe is the tongue. Just a touch of red on the Swoosh and lining draw your eyes to the tonal grey Safari print. These are a versatile look sure to last you beyond this summer, but go ahead and grab em while they’re still hot, from Size?

With all the hoopla surrounding the Hyperdunk and its offspring, the Hyperize and Hypermax, some other Nike Basketball models tend to get lost in the mix. The Zoom Air Brave III is an interesting new offering that warrants a closer look. While it doesn’t appear to be based on an older model, the shoe definitely seems to have a late 90′s look, which for some will be vey welcome. Aside from the retro look, the shoe features some new technology like Zoom Air and Lunar materials. For starters, the Air Zoom Brave III will be available in three colorways, all using a white base with different accent colors. These will be dropping a later this year, so we’ll keep you in the loop on the release info. Via SportsMario2.

We began to preview this pack of three classic Vans models designed by Dutch artist, Parra, all the way back in January and now they are finally beginning to hit retailers. The artist has put his special touch on the Sk8-Hi, Chukka and Era using a turquoise, pink and orange color scheme on all three. The Sk8-Hi features a black upper with skateboard illustrations covering the mid section. The Chukka also uses graphics on the upper, but sports a white base instead. The Era designed by Parra keeps it a little simpler, just using solid colored panels on the upper and including a “Don’t forget to skate in these” reminder on the insole. If you’ve been waiting for these for too long, rest assured that all three pairs are in stock now at Size?

Back in April, we showed you a preview of this fresh Zoom LeBron VI Low colorway and now they are finally starting to hit stores. The shoe uses the same color combo as the recently released Baltic Blue Zoom Soldier III, but this model has a much more casual feel to it. At a quick glance, these kicks bear a very close resemblance to the OG Air Max 93 colorway, which may be coincidental, but it definitely doesn’t hurt the cause. While this may technically be a basketball model, this version will surely look just as good as a street shoe as it does on the court. This Zoom LeBron VI Low has already dropped at select Nike retailers, so keep an eye out if you’ve been waiting for these. Via Dunk.Com.Cn

Not only is Chris Paul one of the brightest rising stars in the NBA, he also gets the honor of having a signature sneaker line from Jordan Brand. So far, there have been two CP3 Jordan models and now we bring you a look at the third installment in the series. The first two have been generally well-received, and from the looks of this preview, there’s a good chance that folks will be feeling the CP3.III as well. The shoe features a lower cut than the previous CP3 models and also bears some similarities to the Jordan Dub Zero. In the same way that some of Carmelo Anthony’s Jordan models have borrowed some design elements from classic Air Jordans, the CP3.III seems to take a similar approach in the hopes of helping the shoe fit in with the Jordan aesthetic.
That said, aside from the cut and general appearance, the shoe still does plenty to separate itself as its own unique model. The most notable features of the CP3.III have to be the intricate tonal graphics that grace the mid section of the shoe and the thick contrast stitching that lines the edge of the bottom section of the upper. So far, there are two colorways to check out, and of course it’s possible that there will be some changes made before these begin to hit stores next year. Stay tuned for more colorways and info on the upcoming Jordan CP3.III and be sure to check out a closer look after the jump. Via TheShoeGame.

If you’re checking out this site right now, you’re probably already well versed on the Air Jordan legacy. As hugely popular as Jordans are and have been since the 80′s, there are certain colorways of certain Air Jordan models that transcend the sneaker game as something more than just a shoe. To some, it’s a work of art, and to others, it’s a nostalgic reminder of the good old days of our youth. To many of us, just the mere sight of this Air Jordan VI conjures a series of flashbacks to not only that special time in sneakers, but also to the early days of a subculture that was just starting to emerge in response to the amazing creations that were coming out of Tinker Hatfield’s sketchbook.
The above Air Jordan VI in its OG Infrared colorway is one of those special shoes that is more than just something you put on your feet. It’s a road post along the sneaker landscape that we can all look back on with great fondness. During the 1990-1991 NBA season, at the time of their release, Nike was pulling away from their competitors at a startling rate and so was Michael Jordan. These shoes were on his feet as he won his first NBA Championship and his second league MVP.
Was it the shoes? Only Mike and Spike know for sure, but for most of us, owning a pair of these kicks was as close as we were ever going to come. Whether you had them back then or were smart enough to pick up the Retro version that dropped in 2000, another chance is coming to get your hands on one of the centerpieces of the Air Jordan legacy. The original Black/Infrared Air Jordan VI will be hitting stores again in January of next year, so you’ll have to be patient, but we promise that they’ll be worth the wait. In the meantime, you can check out some closeups of the shoe to whet your appetite even further and we’ll be sure to keep you posted on all the latest regarding this eagerly awaited Retro release.

The Kobe news just keeps on coming. The day has already brought news on the release of the 61 Points editions of the Zoom Kobe IV as well as a nice look at the Zoom Dream Season in two colorways. Sticking with the Kobe theme, now we have a look at a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe IV. This version sports a simple black upper with sections of snakeskin on the toe box and tongue. Accents are provided by some scattered touches of royal blue and red contrast stitching on the grid pattern that wraps the ankle. Additional splashes of white are also included on the Swoosh and midsole, as well as the Kobe logo on the tongue. There is no word yet on the release info for these, but you can already grab a pair from MarqueeSole.

Last summer, Nike released the DJ Clark Kent-designed 112 Pack, a collection of three classic Nike models, each reinterpreted with a super-fresh colorway and the use of Elephant print and 3M materials. The original pack consisted of an Air Force 1 Low, an Air Max 1 and an Air Trainer 1, and now it appears that two more Nike models will be joining the 112 family. The Nike Hyperdunk and the seldom seen Air Force 25 Low will also be receiving a 112 color scheme. The Air Force 25 keeps it pretty simple, using almost identical color blocking to the design of last year’s 112 Air Force 1, while the Hyperdunk version gets a little bolder thanks to a grey Elephant print upper with a black base and Volt Flywire and accents. The two new additions are rumored to possibly be an Asia exclusive, but hopefully a few pairs will make their way to the States. Stay tuned for more info and check out that 3M glow after the jump.
