The Nike Blazer Mid ACG Premium is designed to keep your foot protected for the rough winter weather.  This pair goes an interesting route, applying a lenticular hologram upper that we’ve never seen on a boot before.  It reminds you what’s being protected by revealing an x-ray depicting a rough estimate of your own tarsal structure that changes depending on what angle you’re examining.  They’re available at Nike Sportswear retailers including the 21 Mercer St. location today.

The upcoming White/Black/Varsity Red version of the Air Max LeBron VII made a big splash when it was first officially unveiled back in August. Since then, we’ve seen some other colorways pop up like the Red Carpet and Olympic versions, as well as the City Pack and Artist Series installments from the More Than A Game World Tour, and most recently the China Moon edition. As you’re probably aware, the first inline release will be hitting retailers later this month, but if you have already waited long enough for these stunners, we bring you the good news that you can get your pair early  from 95soleman on eBay.

When the legendary animator Chuck Jones created a giant orange monster named ‘Gossamer‘, he was both being ironic and setting up a gag 35 years later that suggested Gossamer is made entirely of hair.  The ‘Savage Beast’ Air Force 1 Low has a bit more to it, but they’re sure to draw as much attention as the monster’s signature oversized white kicks (cartoon Chuck Taylors?).  As time has passed, we wondered if we’d be able to get these in time for the Halloween festivities, and are now relieved to learn that they have just arrived at 21 Mercer, and for those who are not in the NYC area, you can grab a pair now from RMK on eBay.

New colorways of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike have been popping up left and right lately. We’ve recently showed you some sneak previews of some upcoming Spiz’ike colorways like the Mars Blackmon edition, the almost “Grape” version and the Black/White/Red pair that was recently mistaken for a DJ Clark Kent design. Now, we get to feast our eyes on yet another new installment in the Spiz’ike series, this time taking one of the simpler color blocking approaches seen so far. The shoe sports a solid black patent leather upper with a touch of suede and some additional Red and Light Grey accents. No word yet on the release info, but you can expect these to hit stores some time next year. For now, keep reading after the jump for a full look at both sides of the shoe and stay tuned for further info. Via oqium.

Knowing Barack Obama’s love for the game of basketball, former boxer Mitchell Rose came up with the idea to create a b-ball sneaker inspired by the prez. The shoe has been produced and Mitchell has been doing his best to get them into the spotlight. NBC News did a story on the Obama shoe that started out pretty objective, but then took a turn for the worse when the news crew stopped by Alife to see what they thought of the sneaker. To make matters even worse, Ghostface practically lost it after seeing the Obama kicks in a segment of Ed Lover’s C’Mon Son. Keep reading for a look at two video clips profiling the sneaker and people’s reactions to it and be sure to let us know what you think. Via NahRight.

Last month brought us some nice looks at the China Moon edition of the Air Max LeBron VII and to the delight of those that were impressed by the shoe, we are happy to report that they will be hitting U.S. soil this weekend. The color scheme of the shoe gives the LeBron VII a flashy look without going too far over the top. It features a White leather upper with a heavy dose of Metallic Gold and some stylish nods to the Chinese “Moon Festival” like the graphics in the medial window and the Chinese characters on the insole. If you’ve been waiting on these, get on your game this weekend, because these beauties will be dropping at House of Hoops locations this Saturday, October 17th. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Even though it’s not even Halloween yet, we wouldn’t blame you for thinking about the upcoming holiday season.  adidas is prepared with their ‘Seasons Greetings’ Pack of Originals-level releases.  Both in suede, a green Stan Smith 2 and red Superstar 2 each have the opposite colour accents plus some gold, giving them mild Gucci leaning.  A Qee toy reminds us that these are actually Christmas-themed.  Cop the shelltoes, Stans and the Santa miniature from Flauge.

Big Boi, whose one half of the legendary Hip-Hop duo, Outkast, performed at the BET Hip Hop Awards ’09 in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center. Big Boi was a part of the larger Goodie Mob performance and rocked a pair of crisp Air Jordan V’s from the Toro Bravo pack, going with the brighter pair in the pack, the all Red suede pair. By the few pictures we’ve seen of Big Boi wearing these, as far as we can tell they are in fact real and not fakes as some have accused Big Boi of wearing and supporting fakes/variants.

Some streetwear designer is bound to see this pack and design a Biggie-as-Che Guevara t-shirt.  Dubbed the Mexican Blanket Pack, this complex duo of Vans classics takes on a quasi-Coogi look with its bright and inviting colour scheme.  Just about every colour in the rainbow is on both of these, with the Slip Ons adding a black heel cup and the Sk8-Hi using a purple forefoot and red/pink laces.  Cop them today from ABC-Mart.

Last week brought our first good look at the High version of the Jordan Flight 45, followed up by another solid Black colorway of the shoe yesterday. Now, we revisit the first pair for a close-up examination of some of the details. The shoe sports a White leather upper offset by a Black midsole, tongue and heel tab and additional hints of Varsity Red. As previously reported, these appear to have something of a loose Air Jordan X inspiration, best seen in the color scheme and the “45″ stitching on the ankle.

Some additional style touches come by way of the Jumpman Flight logo on the tongue and the scribbled text pattern that covers the heel panel. Whether you love it or hate it, the Flight 45 High still makes an interesting addition to the Jordan Brand arsenal. Keep reading for a thorough look at the shoe from various angles and be advised that they have already hit select Asian retailers like Kinstor and should be making their way to the U.S. soon.
