Nike Aina Chukka   Spring/Summer 2010

Nike Sportswear will be coming from a new angle this spring with a sophisticated new style known as the Aina Chukka. The shoe resembles a Blazer High in shape and thanks to the vulcanized midsole, but there is plenty of other stuff going on with the upper to give it a look all its own. The Aina Chukka sports a suede upper with a boat shoe-looking toe and a woven rear panel. Leather laces and a diamond pattern stripe on the midsole add some tasteful injections of flavor into the already intriguing new model. If you’re feeling the Aina, you can expect these to drop at NSW retailers in a variety of colorways during the Spring/Summer 2010 season. Via SM.

Nike Vandal High VNTG   Neon Nylon Pack   New Images

Nothin’ says old school like nylon, neon colors, and the Nike Vandal. Here’s the Neon Nylon Pack of the Nike Vandal High VNTG, one in a radioactive green and the other a grey that’s been dirtied up. Both have a discolored midsole to give them a worn, from-the-70s look and the classic unforgettable Vandal High ankle-strap. Nylons been a popular material used thus far in 2009, and the stitching on the upper gives these Vandals an “Inside-out” appearance. These are set to drop in Spring 2010, so check out the pics after the jump for more details. via Dunk.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII   Black   White   Gold   Detailed Images

If you happen to be a sucker for gold color-blocking, the Nike LeBron signature line must be heaven. We gave you a heads up on the Black/White/Gold colourway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, but here are some more pictures that’ll erase any doubt you had about getting these. The Air Jordan DMP and Nike Dunk Low SB Takashi are some marquee examples of sick black/white/gold colourways, and these AML7s make a strong case about being added to that list.

Nike Terminator High Premium TZ   Ueno vs. Harajuku   Rivals Pack   New Images

Remember Arnold’s famous “I’ll Be Back” in T2? Well, the Terminator, albeit Nike’s version, is back. Big time. We’re amidst a number of some serious Terminator releases, and the Japanese rendition of the Nike Rivalry Pack is a heavy hitter, as the Ueno vs. Harajuku rivalry spawns two Nike Terminators that we touched up on just a few days prior. Ueno’s Terminator is actually military inspired, as the materials used  hint at a body armor and the rear ankle and inner liner are reminiscent of ribbon bars worn by some of the outstanding members of the U.S. Air Force. Both pairs will drop in-store on December 23rd, while us statesiders can cross our fingers in hope of a pair popping up on eBay. via SM.

Air Jordan XI Space Jam   Release Recap

In case you didn’t notice, the Space Jam Air Jordan XI’s officially released at many retailers at midnight last night, and to say that people were willing to go to great lengths to get a pair is quite an understatement. In addition to the huge lines of people camped outside of sneaker stores across the country, there were also some folks that took matters into their own hands, breaking into at least two Foot Lockers to make sure to beat the crowds to their sizes. Hopefully, if you wanted a pair, you got them already, because by midday today, you’ll likely be out of luck. Keep reading after the jump for a look at some interesting scenes from last night’s Space Jam release mania. Via NT.

Air Jordan LStyle One High   Black   Red   Unreleased Sample

The Air Jordan L’Style is meant to be a stylish, out-on-the-town shoe for the grown-up Jordan connoisseur, which explains the otherwise subdued colourways that have released thus far. Sneaker News has stumbled upon an unreleased sample of the Air Jordan L’Style in a rousing colourway that seems to have been inspired by one of the most legendary Jordans ever: the patent black/red  Air Jordan XI. The uppers of the L’Style samples are entirely black patent leather, and the toe-box stitching and midsole are varsity red, a color that’s been running rampant through Jordan Brand color-blocking. This colourway of the Air Jordan L’Style is not set to be released, but if you’re a size 9 , grab these samples from eBayer verbdws.

Reebok Pump Twilight Zone   OG Colorways   Available Now

In light of Reebok’s 20th Anniversary of Pump technology, many got their first glimpse of the original Pump which hasn’t been seen in while.  Other than the Omni Lite, InstaPump Fury, and Reebok Jam, there aren’t many models that ‘heads are quite familiar with in retrospect to Reebok’s cult classics.  The Pump Twilight Zone was original released in 1990, in the midst of dense high-tops and other novelty footwear.  Unlike the Bringback model, the Twilights have a plastic panel rather than rand, along with more curving tooling on the profile that leads to an asymmetrical perforated vamp.  Both OG colorways, its no surprise that one dons the classic black/white with orange accents while the other has a white with vibrant neon- along with herringbone inside the tongue.  Originally expected to be part of the Spring 2010 list, these are now available at Extra Butter.
