Air Jordan 2010   Available Early

The Air Jordan 2010 hasn’t even released, and we’re already seeing indications of a major overhaul.  The AJ2010 Outdoor is actually a separate line based on the AJ2010, which is popping up earlier than officially expected.  First up is the white, black and red pair that would have been perfect as Mike’s home court shoe for the regular season.  If you need them before the February 2010 official release, check el-store on eBay.

Air Jordan XI (11) Space Jam T Shirts by Vandal A

With Air Jordan XI Space Jam mania dominating the holiday release headlines, it’s hard to believe that Jordan Brand didn’t come strong with some matching apparel to coincide with the eagerly awaited sneaker drop. Lucky for us, Vandal-A had an eye on the prize as usual, whipping up a super-fresh new t-shirt design that captures the moment thanks to a reinterpretation of some iconic Jordan imagery. As you can see, the front of the shirt features the words ‘Space Jam’ in the style of font found on the tongue, with the Hare Jordan Bugs Bunny logo replacing the Jumpman for a little extra Space Jam connection. The back of the shirt sports the easily recognizable 23 logo that appears on the ankle section of the Space Jams’ heels. If you’ve already got the shoes or plan to pick yours up on Wednesday, you can put the cherry on top by grabbing the matching t-shirt, available exclusively at Packer Shoes and the Vandal-A online store.

Futura x Nike Air Force 1 High Premium   Be True   Black   White

While it may not get the edge of your seat attention of some other collaborations, the upcoming Fututra x Nike Air Force 1 Be True Pack is shaping up into quite a nice little collection. Originally thought to be limited to just a few colorways, it’s now looking like at least five or six Futura-designed Air Force 1′s will be hitting stores early in 2010. Here we have a look at a simple but slick Air Force 1 High that features a tonal black upper made up of heavily perforated premium leather. Aside from the clean white midsole and multi-color patterned outsole, the only accents come by way of the wild Futura tongue label. We also get our first look at the design of the insoles, another extra touch to help put these beauties over the top. Keep reading for some more pics of the shoe and watch for the Futura x Nike Air Force 1′s popping up at select retailers beginning in January. Via Dunk.

Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals by Originals   Spring/Summer 2010 Footwear Preview

By now, it’s safe to say that the Jeremy Scott line for adidas Originals by Originals can be counted on for some of the wildest looks in sneakers today. In the past, Scott has brought us plenty of attention-grabbing shoe styles, and it appears that there are still plenty of intriguing tricks left up his sleeves. For the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection, Jeremy brings back the popular JS Wings model in two new colorways, as well as a crazy new Metro Attitude Hi. Two new models will also be joining the fun: the rhinestoned out JS Rockstar and the JS 3Tongue Low, which sports a metallic silver upper with three golfshoe-like tongue flaps. If you think your style is bold enough to pull these off, be on the lookout for the Spring/Summer lineup as it begins to hit select retailers this February and March.  Via HB.

Nike Air Zoom Speed Spider R   Gradient Cheetah

One of the dopest applications of Flywire appears on this new pair of Nike Air Zoom Speed Spider-R runners.  The Zoom Speed Spider-R adds a cheetah print to the side panels that fade from yellow at the toe to red at the heel.  It might sound busy to have Flywire strands and a Swoosh over top of all that, but the chaos is actually really well balanced, especially with the mesh forefoot sections continuing the textured look.

All these lightweight materials and a low-profile Cushlon sole means the shoe weighs just over five ounces, not to mention being breathable, form-fitting and well cushioned!  Premium tech here on the Nike Air Zoom Speed Spider-R, which is available for pre-order today from Flauge.  via FRESHNESS

Nike Air Max 90   Laser Blue   Ostrich Leather

Some of the nicest Nike Air Max 90s have featured ostrich leather on the mudguard.  Several of them have played on the beloved Infrared colourway, and this new pair is similar in some ways.  The mudguard is indeed black ostrich leather, but instead of Infrared, there’s a smattering of laser blue accents adding life to the otherwise grey and white design.  They should release to Nike Sportswear retailers soon, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via VMV inc

MVPuppets   Dunking On Reindeer

To be honest with you, this is pretty much exactly what we guessed would happen.  Sure, Lupe Fiasco is a talented rhymer, but expecting a reindeer like Blitzen to keep up with Santa-KRS, plus Kobe and LeBron!?  Like the David Allen Grier-voiced Mamba puppet reminds LBJ, “he got hooves, not hands, what the heck you expect!”  This latest MVPuppets video is chock-full of rap video cliches and you can watch it by clicking the jump below.

Holiday Releases @ House of Hoops

2009 is officially a very rich year for holiday sneaker releases and House of Hoops has got you covered when it comes to basketball kicks. Obviously, the biggest story this holiday season is the return of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jams, which will be hitting shelves this Wednesday, December 23rd. The next day will see the release of both the Amare Stoudemire and Nate Robinson Kryptonate Zoom Skyposite PE’s, as well as the Mardi Gras edition of Chris Paul’s CP3.III. By the weekend, there will still be plenty of sneaker damage to do post-Xmas thanks to the Chaos Zoom Kobe V and Christmas Air Max LeBron VII both dropping on Saturday. If you still have the cash and/or energy left by Monday, December 28th, you can pick up the Green Spark Air 1/2 Cents for the grand finale. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

MVPuppets   Santa Raps

With the precision required to visit every house in the world in a single night, you know Santa Claus keeps his employees on task.  Old St. Nick demands respect, and in a world where the new Kris Kringle is KRS-One, that means lashing out at an out-of-line Blitzen in a music video, MVPuppets-style.  It’s a Kobe-and-LeBron commercial where Kobe and LeBron are merely cameos (and don’t forget about Lil’ Dez on the wax).  Be sure to check out the hilarious video, after the jump.

Nike Air Max 95   Neon   Available

It’s about time for the calendar to turn, so, yep, time for another Nike Air Max 95 Neon retro release.  We say that half-jokingly, since the iconic OG colourway of Tim ‘The Toolman’ Taylor’s favourite sneaker did drop in a limited release last winter.  The other half is just admiration for one of the best palettes in the history of sneakers, one DJ Clark Kent’s 112 Pack creations owe everything to.  Pay your dues, respect the game and all that, and cop these from Bingorunner.
