The Air Jordan Hallowed Ground bears an obvious resemblance to the Air Jordan (10) X. With this latest release, one could argue they’re taking on some of the Nike Air Max 95 vibe. It’s clear in looking at the pair above that the sweep from black to light grey through several shades is quite similar to the gradient of greys on the AM95. These omit a single accent colour that we’ve come to expect from that ‘OG’ style of 95s, opting to go entirely with white, black and greys. A limited size run is available today from Kinstor.

While many Americans have come to celebrate Halloween, Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls’ Day) is popular in/amongst Latin America/ns. Nike Skateboarding’s original Day of the Dead Dunk was very popular and rare a few years ago, itself adding quite a bit of interest to this latest release. This particular ‘Day of the Dead’ Nike Dunk High will come from the Sportswear division along with a similarly hewn Air Max 90, but it’s every bit as ‘scary’ with its purple and black designs accented by neon green and bright orange hits. Expect more news on these before they drop later this month. via HS

When it was announced that Dwyane Wade had in fact signed with Jordan Brand, sneakerheads instantly began imagining what Wade’s first Jordan shoe would look like, but it was also hard to keep from thinking about all the classic OG models that would fit right in with the Miami Heat color scheme. The NBA recently held its annual Media Day and to the delight of Jordan fans, D-Wade was proudly flaunting his new affiliation with a pair of “Bred” Air Jordan XI’s. In all likelihood, it will be a while before we see Wade’s first signature Jordan shoe, so for the time being let’s hope we see some more OG heat making its way back to the NBA floor.

October’s Premium Dunk lineup from Nike Skateboarding is a perfect duo for this time of year. With the Nike SB Dunk Low pictured above, it’s clear that they have a Halloweeny vibe, opting for similar colours to earlier and upcoming Day of the Dead Dunks. Taking nothing awy from those lowtops, it’s also clear that the Todd Bratrud-designed ‘Brain Wreck’ Nike SB Dunk High Premium is the leader. Its distinctive heel embroidery crosses the Dunk/Terminator border, while a quilted sockliner and charactered insole deepen your connection to the gray matter inspring these kicks. We’ll be sure to let you know when both pairs hit retailers, so check out more photos and a nearly 10 minute preview video after the jump. via Overdope

Nubuck used to be such an underrated and occasionally used material for sneakers until the rise of sneaker culture. It’s no surprise though that it wasn’t utilized much by athletic footwear brands because it wasn’t as durable or weatherproof as it’s rawer version, suede. (Yes people, to many surprised- some of our favorite brands actually made shoes specifically for activity, not just to stroll down the block for attention). Nonetheless, the felt feel of nubuck adds so much flavor and sophistication to a shoe. Case in point, the AF1 shown here. A classic deep red tonal upper featuring nubuck to accompany it’s typical leather makes for a slick look. Available at SneakerBistro, or any of your other local Nike retailers.

Volume 12 of Japanese sneaker magazine, Shoes Master, is about to hit shelves, and with it comes a preview of an interesting new collaboration between Hiroshi Fujiwara and Nike Sportswear. Fujiwara and fragment design are no strangers to Nike collabos, but this time, the renowned designer will be bringing the “Noise” concept, already seen on t-shirts, to the Nike Terminator High Premium. The shoe features premium Black leather with Metallic Silver accents and a large “NOISE” print on the heel replacing the standard Nike block letters. For more on the Terminators, as well as an interview with Hiroshi Fujiwara and looks at new collections from Nike Sportswear, Puma, Madfoot and more, you can find Shoes Master Vol. 12 hitting select retailers like Gettry beginning tomorrow.

Last week, we showed you the Jordan Hallowed Ground PE made for Rip Hamilton, and now we take a look at another PE version of the shoe that reps for a fellow Jordan Brand athlete, Carmelo Anthony. This version of the Hallowed Ground honors Virginia basketball powerhouse, Oak Hill Academy, where Melo played his high school ball. The shoe sports a Black suede upper spiced up by some Varsity Red contrast stitching and Varsity Maize embroidery on the Jumpman and the Oak Hill logo that appears on the tongue. Additional accents are provided by a Varsity Red outsole and a speckled Red gradient effect on the rear section of the midsole. As a final touch, the Oak Hill Academy Warriors mascot is printed on the insole, helping to make this a very tempting offering for fans of Carmelo and Oak Hill Academy. Check out some more pics after the jump and look for them to hit House of Hoops locations some time this November. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

First came East vs. West, and now more and more pairs pop up showing the glory of the North and South. The shoe features a leather upper rocking the killa bee colors. And although we’ve seen plenty of black/yellow sneakers, especially Nikes- even more specifically the Dunk – who can resist another pair to rock for any season. Especially when this pair has a synthetic material on the wings to create a nice effect, unique from those others of a similar colorway. Available now, cop a pair from the ‘Bay.

We’ve seen the gradient Kobe IV’s receive plenty of approval, but it couldn’t just stop there. In light of the Black Mamba seizing victory for LA and winning his fourth ring, Nike is releasing this Quickstrike fitting the gradient motif. Thought the Home and Away colorways were dope? This Midwest Gold/Concord screams “Champion” four times over. As said before, this Kobe IV also rocks the gradient, but also comes well equipped with plenty of other features. Also found on the Olympic Kobe IV, the MVP‘s signature is embossed on the heel tab. But it seems that some of the best stuff has been found on the insides of kicks lately. Behind the tongue, a patch of the MVPuppet 4-Rings imagery, with similar graphics printed on the insoles. Act quick to grab the last remaining pairs from MarqueeSole.

Here’s the third member of the Winter Journey Pack of Nikes we promised you yesterday. This one takes a different route from the other Nike Terminator High we saw, opting for a tonal brown design that’s more like the Blazer Low that sports a similar pattern on the upper heel. That pattern is the same on both Terminators, a largely primary-coloured Native American pattern that itself contrasts the autumny vamp. These also share the same bright laces that look like multicoloured yarn and should drop later this year.
