If you’re a fan of the Air Jordan XII, get ready to treat your eyeballs to one of the most spectacular collections of this beloved model to ever be compiled. While there may be some random rare versions not pictured, this accumulation of Air Jordan XII’s is about as complete as anyone is going to get. This dedicated collector obviously has a soft spot for the classic shoe and has been stockpiling pairs of just about every colorway since the model was first released in 1996. In addition to all of the OG colorways, there’s also a complete set of Air Jordan XII Lows and a couple of rare and unreleased versions of the shoe as well. After the jump, you can go page by page to check out each colorway from multiple angles and some group shots of all the Air Jordan XII’s together in one impressive gathering. Believe it or not, all of these photos don’t even scratch the surface of Jay Jones’s Air Jordan XII arsenal. Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2 of this incredible collection where we’ll give you a look at a mouth-watering spread of Air Jordan XII PE’s. Via NT.

California’s Madsteez and local artist Evan “Stink” Rossell have teamed up for this groundbreaking project for Nike 6.0. The Braata is based on the character Stinkween- a fusion of Madsteez’s Weeneze and Rossell’s Stink alter-ego that was conceived specifically for this collaboration. ”StinkWeen represents both me and Stink, much like a Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde relationship,” says Deren.
Aside the vibrant colors and glowing features, the Braata has some structurally innovative design. Built with Nike Free Technology for maximum comfort and board feel, as well as a cold-wrap construction to reduce environmental impact. In tune with the split personality of Stinkween, the Braata’s will be released in two colorways- green for man, and purple for women.
In conjunction with the sneaker release, very limited quantities will come with a Madsteez Braata Wallet, produced by Poketo, an art driven brand also from California. The wallet will don similar branding of the Stinkween character.
Be on the lookout for these on July 24th select Nike 6.0 retailers like the Motel NoTell and Jacks.

Even though a lot of Air Jordan purists turn their noses up at Jordan Fusions and hybrid models, the Spiz’ike seems to get a pass. Thanks to its use of so many classic elements from early Air Jordan designs, the shoe is hard not to like. To keep us stylin’ even through the cold winter, Jordan Brand has converted the Spiz’ike into a winterized boot, built for the rugged demands of the cold weather. We gave you a sneak peek at this concept back in April, and now we finally get a better look at the shoe in three different colorways. The Dark Cinder/Black and Black/Anthracite versions keep it pretty simple, using a solid leather boot look, but the third version throws a little more flavor into the mix with a multi-colored Flint Grey/Cherrywood Red palette. These beauties are scheduled to drop one per month beginning in October and moving through December. We’ll be sure to keep you posted with further pics and details, but for now, you can get a nice closeup look at all three pairs after the jump.

“This is how we take the old from new, the new to the old, the old from the new!” Yes we’re about to take you back….. Way back…… into time! Going back to 2005 I can easily recall the ice cold winter that started the year in motion. And in recalling that ice cold winter, I also think of the NikeTown NYC release of the “Temptation” AF1′s from the Lebron James Chamber of Fear campaign. For those of you who are new to the sneaker game, the Chamber of Fear was a creative campaign launched by Nike in partnership with Lebron James and SoleCollector Magazine. A total of 6 different AF1 Lows were released in succession at NikeTowns nationwide. This created an hysteria like none other the sneaker world had yet seen. Campouts abounded as sneakerheads waited eagerly to get their hands on the entire set. The genius of the campaign was that none of the sneakers released in the same cities. This made it almost mandatory for sneakerheads to communicate, partner, and trade to get the next pair in the set. This was tremendous for the culture as it truly connected people across the country and the globe. What made the releases even more interesting was that a selected few of the 250 pairs released at NikeTowns were laser etched with a symbol representing the corresponding “Chamber of Fear”. And to make things even more interesting the 6th Chamber / AF1 was never released to the public, it was ultimately made available only to friends and family of Nike.

We’ve been keeping you up to date with the latest on the Finals Edition of the Zoom Kobe IV. As we reported last week, both of the colorways that Kobe rocked in the Finals en route to an NBA Championship this year will be dropping at House of Hoops in the very near future. It appears though, that there will be some other options to grab a pair even if there’s not a House of Hoops in your area. As usual, MarqueeSole has gotten some sizes of this Zoom Kobe IV ahead of the game, and if you’re prepared to drop a little more on them, you can get yourself a pair now. Keep reading after the jump for our best look yet at all of the finer details of these historic kicks and remember that this pair will officially be dropping on July 22nd with the black colorway following on August 5th.

Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen opened to the second-biggest midnight box office ever, but you might need to get in line before that if you wanna cop these limited edition Nikes. The Nike Transformers II Pack, including the Nike Zoom FP (Fun Police) inspired by Autobot Bumblebee, will be releasing exclusively at the Foot Locker House of Hoops on Friday, July 10th. The Zoom FP, Soundwave’s Nike Zoom Sharkalaid and Megatron’s Nike Zoom Flight Club all come in amazingly intricate packaging that pays tribute to the 80′s action figures that paved the way for Michael Bay’s blockbusters. Take a look at more shots of the three pack after the jump.

Carmelo Anthony has been wearing Air Jordans since his NBA rookie season and his own signature model since his sophomore season. It’s undoubtable that Melo’s Jordan PEs are among the best, and this latest M-model looks to follow Jordan Brand’s recently sleek stylings. We bring you the Air Jordan Melo M6 in six subdued colourways. They feature a swooping side panel overlay that makes one think of the Vans Sk8-Hi, with a nylon underlay extending to the toe. The two-toned misdole has a clean look, including JB’s elegantly typeset ‘zoom’ on near the heel. These bear a distinct similarity to the Air Jordan All Day, but have a flavor all their own. Look for the Air Jordan Melo M6 starting October 1st 2009. Check the other colours after the jump and let us know which new Jordan model you like best.

Reebok has created a few movie-inspired Pumps in the past, but this one might also be drawing on a TV show. The Reebok Twilight Zone Pack for Spring/Summer 2010 was on display at the Outerspace tradeshow in Barcelona. There’s one pack each in white/black/neon green and black/white/orange, both OG Pump colourways. Both paris feature a herringbone lining and ‘The Twilight Zone’ on the tongue. We’re not sure of the exact name of this model, so be sure to let us know with a comment if you remember these from two decades back. via HS

You may have already seen this Dunk High Premium as part of our recent Fall 2009 Dunk preview and now you can get an up-close look at some of the interesting touches that make this one of the standout colorways of the upcoming collection. The shoe sports a multi-colored upper with bright Orange around the toe and eyelet panels, as well as on the Swoosh and outsole. The Sail toe box and mid panel feature some perforations with a matching Sail mesh tongue and midsole to help tie things together. The most notable attribute, however, has to be the geometric stitching design that covers the Black patent heel section. These kicks also bring back the Zoom Air, which raises the comfort level of this already striking shoe. If you like what you see here, you’ll have to wait until September to get a pair, but for now, you can check out some nice photos of these after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.
