Air Jordan XII (12) Retro   Flu Game   Release Info

With November almost here, it’s officially time to start getting pumped for the release of the Flu Game Air Jordan XII Retros. While some were disappointed to learn that the Retro edition would differ slightly from the OG version, there will be plenty of sneakerheads unphased by the suede upper or the new Flu Game graphics that appear on the tongue and the heel. In addition to the new touches, there will also be a special Flu Game Retro card to sweeten the deal a little. If you have been waiting patiently for these and aren’t swayed by the changes, plan on scooping up your pair when they drop at Jordan retailers on Friday, November 27th. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

As you may already be aware, the Reebok Pump is celebrating a big birthday this year. The innovative Pump technology was first introduced in 1989 and not only made a big splash at the time, but left a legacy of fond memories in the minds of those who were around to appreciate the first go-around of Pump sneakers. To celebrate the Pump’s 20th birthday, Reebok will be teaming up with 20 different sneaker shops from all over the world, allowing each to bring their own vision of the Pump to life. We have already given you some sneak peeks at a couple of the upcoming collab editions of the OG Pump, but now we get a look at the entire list of contributors, as well as a video showing some of the Pump20 collaborators discussing their thoughts on the project. Keep reading for a full breakdown of all the shops that will be involved with the upcoming collection, and stay tuned on November 19th for the official unveiling of all 20 designs.

Nike Snowboarding   Zoom Force 1 + Zoom Kaiju @ 21 Mercer

Unless we’re talking about resort facilities, it’s pretty uncommon to see people rocking snowboard boots out in public.  Nike Snowboarding might not necessarily be trying to change that, but with their latest drop, we might see some daring folks gripping the asphalt with these heavily-treaded lunar stompers.  There are three Zoom Force 1s, ranging from simple black and white to blue and yellow tiedye or a pair in black and red that depicts all sorts of woodland creatures on the hindfoot.  Last but not least is the Zoom Kaiju in black and blue with some serious Air Jordan flare.  All of these are available at Nike Sportswear retailers including their NYC flagship.
