A lot of sneakerheads had cause for celebration last week as House of Hoops announced plans for seven new store locations. With that news already making waves in the sneaker game, we now give you a look at another new House of Hoops location that is a little more off the beaten path for most of us. A new HOH was recently opened in Taipei last Friday, and although most of us will never get to check it out in person, at least we can see what we are missing. Aside from displays of some of today’s hottest kicks like the Bulls/Celtics Air Jordan 1 DMP pack and the Transformers 2 collection, you can also get a look at the layout of the store, as well as the giant Air Jordan family tree display that covers the entire wall along the staircase. Keep reading for a bunch more pics from the opening of the House of Hoops Taipei store. Via Kenlu.

Patta is taking the white leather and gum rubber outsole design beyond just their upcoming Nike Air Max 1. The Patta x Pro-Keds Royal Lo + Hi both feature a rich pebbled white leather upper. As if the dope mix with the gum rubber outsole weren’t enough, these will be packaged in a ‘heavy duty grocerybag.’ These will drop at Patta this Saturday, July 25 and the following week at other select retailers. Click the jump below for a video (dope soundtrack!).

This shoe was a part of our Holiday ’09 Air Jordan 1 preview and now we get a detailed look at the sneaker from various angles. As you can tell, this is the Atlanta Hawks installment of the 60+ series, paying tribute to Michael’s 61 point performance against Atlanta on April 16, 1987. The shoe sports a Black leather upper with splashes of Varsity Red on the tongue label, outsole and laces, as well as the carpet-like chenille Swoosh. Additional accents come by way of Varsity Maize contrast stitching on the upper and a Varsity Maize Jumpman logo on the tongue. These won’t be hitting stores until October, but you can check out some more pics after the jump in the meantime. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

By now, you’ve probably already seen many of the upcoming Holiday ’09 releases from Jordan Brand, but the preview wouldn’t be complete without a look at the boys’ portion of the collection. Jordan Brand will be taking care of the youngsters this winter with a nice variety of Jordan models in smaller sizes. The little guys will get a crack at some new models like the Hallowed Ground, the Ol’ School III and the Jordan 16.5, not to mention some new colorways of the Pro Classic, Flipsyde and Ol’ School II Low. Also as part of the Holiday lineup, there will also be a Sixty Plus for boys in the White/Classic Green/Black Boston Celtics colorway. Keep reading after the jump to get a closer look at all these and more, including release info for each.

We just showed you a new Men’s Blazer Low that comes with a stitchless upper and now here is a look at a new Women’s Blazer mid that comes in a Mid cut featuring a premium mesh on the entire upper in a soft Pink color. The outsole is matched with what appears to be a Sail colorway to give the shoe some contrast. These will be limited to select Nike retailers when they are released in a few months. via Osneaker.com

The newest Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6) Low looks shares an exciting new colourway with an upcoming Zoom LeBron Soldier III (3). Cool grey is one of the Swoosh’s understated colour choices, but when it’s combined with their new reptile embossing, the result is wild. These also have colourful touches on the tongue, seamlessly incorporating bright blue, purple and yellow. Grab these today from RMK.

The Nike Bruin has been around since the 1970′s, but it took a Supreme collaboration a few months back to put the classic shoe on the radar of most of the Nike SB crowd. This Zoom Bruin SB is slated to be part of the August ’09 collection, but they have already made their way to a few SB dealers. The kicks sport a suede Military Blue upper with a White Swoosh, midsole and laces and a hint of Red on the tongue and heel branding, as well as the secondary set of laces. If you want to get your hands on a pair a few weeks early, you can get them now from Flatspot. Via NSB.

This spiffy Talache Low model was part of our Nike Supreme Pack preview from a few weeks ago and now they are beginning to arrive at select Nike retailers. These kicks feature a premium leather upper with sections of Beach and Haystack and a solid Haystack midsole. As you can see, the shoe sports a luxurious classy look with decorative stitching and perforations that resemble something that would usually be found on a dress shoe. These are currently available overseas at UCS, but they will hopefully be hitting U.S. shores soon, so stay tuned for further info.
Color: Beach/Beach-Haystack

Nike will be releasing yet another revised Blazer in the upcoming months, this pair comes with a stitchless upper that looks to be made up of a solid one piece premium leather. The vulcanized outsole gives the shoe a classic aesthetic. This pair comes with some vintage detailing like the Nike script logo on the heel and tongue of the shoe. This Black, Obsidian, and Off White colorway is only a sample and should be hitting Nike retailers in the next few months, until then you can pick them up now at Osneaker.com

You may have already seen this latest Dunk Low SB Premium as part of our Nike SB July ’09 rundown, but now we finally get a closer look at this clean new offering. The shoe takes a simple approach, using a solid Varsity Blue upper and midsole with some subtle accents provided by a pale Pink Ice Swoosh, outsole and branding. In addition to the fresh color scheme, another nice touch is the perforated mid panel behind the Swoosh and your choice of Blue or Pink laces. These have already arrived at select Nike SB dealers like Premier and will be hitting more stores any day now.
