We’ve shown you a couple previews of the Tecmo Bo edition of the Nike Sky Force High and now they are finally starting to arrive in stores. The shoe sports a black/silver/white color scheme as a nod to Bo Jackson’s days as a Los Angeles Raider. Like several of the other Tecmo Bo releases, these kicks feature some metallic silver pixel graphics on the side of the upper and the football Tecmo Bo character appears on the tongue label. As if the return of the Sky Force High wasn’t cool enough, the Tecmo Bo angle puts these over the top. You can get yours now at FootLocker and other select retailers.

Keds tends to keep their designs simple but an upcoming collaboration with Opening Ceremony is sure to get some attention. OC added some of their high-end flair to a big set of new Keds canvas lowtops. Each one escapes being ‘plain’ with nice details like striped laces or the use of bandana, denim and other fabrics. There’s a significant note of Americana in this pack, down to the yellow insoles with old school Keds trademarks. Expect them later this season. via FRESHNESS

Over the last year or so, sneakerheads seem to have become more and more disillusioned with recent Jordan Brand releases. The Air Jordan Force Fusion series definitely had a major hand in turning off a lot of longtime Jordan purists, and even with a number of nice Retro releases, there always seemed to be something for Jordan-heads to complain about. That said, there appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel with a very strong line-up of both new and retro releases for 2010. Between the spring and summer of next year, Jordan Brand will be bringing back the Air Jordan VI in four different versions that include both new and beloved OG colorways. On the subject of OG’s, the Air Jordan II will be making a comeback in its original White/Varsity Red/Black “Quarter Finals” colorway. Joining the Retro party will also be a White/Black/Navy snakeskin edition of the Air Jordan XI, which many are speculating to be similar to the Low snakeskin versions that dropped a few years back.
As previously reported on Sneaker News, the Spiz’ike will once again bridge the gap between new and old, paying homage to some classic Air Jordan models with three new colorways, including the super-fresh Bred version that we showed you back in June. On the new model tip, 2010 will see the release of third signature shoe in the Chris Paul CP3 series, as well as the Air Jordan 2010 (XXV), Air Jordan Force Fusion VIII and a variety of other new additions to the Air Jordan family. Keep reading after the jump for a look at some of the most eagerly anticipated pieces of the Spring/Summer 2010 roster, along with a listing of the rest of the confirmed upcoming releases from Jordan Brand.

Over the last year, Nike has taken the Air Force 1 back to its simplest form, choosing simple color blocking and palettes to give the classic shoe more of a traditional look. Here we have a look at the most recent example of this concept in action. This Air Force 1 Low sports a solid Obsidian leather upper and midsole with the only accents coming by way of some minimal splashes of White on the laces, heel tab and outsole, as well as on the contrast stitching and “AIR” branding on the midsole. Considering all of the wild Air Force 1 designs that we’ve seen over the years, this recent batch of back-to-basics colorways continues to provide a refreshing alternative that shows off the iconic design in a classic-looking style. These have already hit select retailers overseas, so stay tuned for further info on a U.S. release. Via Dunk.com.cn.

As you probably already know, LeBron James is currently off on a world tour to promote the movie More Than A Game and his upcoming Air Max LeBron VII shoe from Nike.

We already gave you a peek at some of the fun from the nation’s capital, but now you can get an even better look at Lebron and his SVSM crew, as well as new pics of both the Artist Series and City Pack installments of the Washington D.C. Air Max LeBron VII. Keep reading after the jump to check out more pics of LeBron, his kicks and some additional looks at the Washington event. Via Freshness.

Last month, we gave you a look at some fresh upcoming Air Max 1 colorways, and now we bring you another sneak peek at some more kicks that will be hitting stores next spring. Once again, the Air Max 1 is front and center in both men’s and women’s versions. Unfortunately, it has been rumored that the bright orange and bright blue editions have been scrapped, but you never know what can happen between now and then. Joining the Air Max 1′s, there will also be a black/yellow/purple Dunk High with a gum outsole and a red mesh Blazer High. Last but not least, the Air Structure Triax will also be back in one of its boldest looks yet, using a black base with pink and orange accents. We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on all of these styles as their Spring 2010 releases approach, but for now, you can get a look at a bunch more pics after the jump. Via unheardof.

This year, Nike and Jordan Brand will once again team up with the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital for another round of special Freestyle releases. Following the amazing Air Jordan 1 designed last year by Tony Taylor Jr., this year will see the release of a Doernbecher Freestyle edition of the Air Jordan VI. The shoe sports an Olympic-like color scheme with a navy blue suede upper accented by red and gold highlights. As with many of the other Doernbecher kicks, the shoe also features some detailed graphics and designs on the upper and both heels have an embroidered number 1 in a circle. As a final touch, the question “What Time Is It?” and the answer, “Game Time!” are include on labels inside the tongue of each shoe. Doernbecher releases usually drop in late fall, but you can already find a pair early courtesy of MarqueeSole.

Hip-Hop legend, Rakim, performed at the Highline Ballroom last week in New York and special guests Rick Ross and U-God made cameo appearances during the show. While Rakim was the main event, Rick Ross stole the show when it came to kicks, breaking out a crisp pair of the Nike x Kanye West Air Yeezy’s in Black. Rakim kept it classic with a pair of fresh White on White Air Force 1′s and his DJ, DJ Kid Capri, was seen with a pair of adidas sneakers, that he ended up taking off at one point during the show.

Here we have a look at one of the most intriguing Air Jordan promo samples that you are likely to ever see. A few years back, Nike was exploring the idea of making one-piece versions of some classic models that used no stitching on the uppers. Apparently, Jordan Brand took a liking to the concept and gave it a test run. Two one-piece versions of the Air Jordan X were created, both eliminating all of the lines and layers of the upper and replacing them with a simplified surface. A safety orange pair takes the Air Jordan X to its boldest heights yet, while a navy suede version provides a subtler look. Unfortunately this interesting idea never came to fruition as a retail release, but at least we get to take a look at what could have been. Check out some more pics of both colorways after the jump and let us know what you think of these wild Air Jordan samples. Via Kenlu.

Nike will continue to keep the Terminator High models coming during the Fall 2009 season with some striking new colorways for both men and women. For the ladies, there will be a wild version that sports a pink upper with a light speckled design on certain sections. In contrast to the pink, a larger section of the upper is turquoise with a diagonal stripe pattern moving across the surface. The color scheme is then finished off by some touches of black on the tongue, laces, lining and outsole. The men’s Terminator High takes a more traditional approach, going with a simple black/yellow upper with a white midsole and gum outsole. If you like what you see from the latest batch of Terminators, you can pick up a pair now at ABC-Mart.
