Chinese New Year is on February 14, 2010, but we’re seeing plenty Year of the Tiger kicks already. Reebok has a pack of, what else, Pumps, rockin’ tiger stripes and now Nike is adding another one of its standby models to the jungle. The ballistic nylon Nike Dunk High in black with orange and white stripes looks dope with a gum sole, but we wouldn’t blame you if you picked the white and red joints with that St. John’s BTTYS vibe. Better yet, get both of them, plus the black, red and white lowtops, all available now at Nike Sportswear retailers including their SoHo flagship store.

Back in October we gave you a preview of the Spring 2010 Air Jordan 1 High Premier, here we have some more detailed images. These Retro 1′s come in a new dark army colorway with a rich full nubuck upper. A more unique accent is the perforated toe box and side panels. The white midsole sitting atop a gum outsole brings the whole monochromatic colorway together very nicely. These are due in stores February 2010 but you can get these Air Jordan 1 Retro High Premiers now from Dunk.com.cn.

It’s no secret that many Air Jordan fanatics are less than pleased with the changes that Jordan Brand has made to some recent and upcoming Retro releases. Whether it be the alternate materials or colors that have appeared on some Jordan classics, lately many sneakerheads have been left feeling unfulfilled by the subtle changes. Luckily for everybody though, the White/Varsity Red edition of the Air Jordan XII seems to have undergone little to no transformation from its original form. The colors and materials appear to be spot-on, leaving all those Jordan purists with not much to complain about. If you’re still not sure and need to see for yourself, check out these side by side comparison pics of the OG 1996 version alongside the new Retro edition for further analysis. If you’re satisfied with the results, be aware that the Retros will officially be hitting stores this Saturday, December 19th, just in time to bring you some hearty Christmas joy. Via Kenlu.

We love to floss in fresh kicks, but it’s just as cool to see your children and/or little siblings boppin’ hard in dope pairs as well. Though many of the popular Jordans come in GS sizes, we tend to forget that there are some exclusively for the little feet. Case in point; these Jordan VI’s, sporting a crispy white and coral rose colorway. Obviously geared towards girls and women, expect these to drop sometime January 2010. In fact, Opium has ‘em up for pre-order now.

Style Code: 384665-161

Did you know that Kevin Durant reached 4,000 NBA points at a younger age than anyone not named ‘LeBron Raymone James’?! How is it that the ‘little’ big man is not getting more press? Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder are over .500 for the longest period in franchise history, so if they keep winning, we’ll keep seeing him on TV with kicks like these.
The Nike KD II is a perfect match for its recipient, a strapped midtop that makes the most of OKC’s orange and blue uniform colours. This pair uses a subtle gradient on the mudguard piping, plus double contrast stitching to tie everything in together nicely, while the various words and letters on this shoe are just like Kevin: slender and sleek. They just arrived at Dunk.com.cn, so they should be on their way to the US early in 2010.

In the time-honoured (read: past couple weeks) tradition of lining up the entire history of Air Jordans, here’s Foot Locker’s take. Theirs is not an in-store installation, but rather a slick Flash-based web page that lets you easily surf through the past 25 years without a single refresh. Some purists might be bummed that they used only Countdown Pack versions of the first 22 Jays (or that the AJ1 is listed as ’1986′), but this compendium of kicks from the GOAT is still worth a look.

The combination of Dutch sneaker kings, Patta, and the Nike Air Max 1 has been a marriage made in heaven so far, as three different colorways of the shoe have recently popped up from the Patta/Nike team. Most recently, the denim/corduroy edition hit shelves to a warm reception from sneakerheads. A few days back, we gave you a glimpse of the fourth installment of the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 collaborations, and now, we finally get a better look. As you can see, the shoe sports a simple, but crisp color scheme thanks to a solid Black woven canvas upper with sections of nylon ballistic mesh and metal eyelet rings. A clean White midsole and Swoosh add some contrast, with a classic gum outsole and some splashes of bright Green providing the finishing touches. Patta’s logo is featured on both heels as well as the tongue labels, rightfully stamping the kicks with the signature of their designer. If you’ve been anxiously waiting on these to finish your set, they will be dropping Friday at Patta and select Tier Zero retailers.

The bred Air Jordan Force XIII (AJF 13) released several weeks early at the Houston House of Hoops grand opening. They’ll re-release with the special ‘Space City’ insoles along with several other Houston-inspired Jays, this Saturday at Chicago’s HoH.
Included in the mix are the Air Jordan 1 Retro in a black/white/red look that echoes the AJF13′s borrowing from the OG Playoff Away Air Jordan XIII’s balistic nylon side panels, plus another in white with a strap. That white pair follows the same quasi-patriotic motif as a pair of Air Jordan Force IVs (AJF 4) that wrap up this collection. If you’re in Chi-town on Saturday, December 19th, be sure to head over to Foot Locker‘s House of Hoops and grab a pair or four.

Ladies are handily outnumbering mens releases when it comes to Nike Air Force 1s this week. The latest is a womens lowtop in the subtle ’07 reshape that’s been most common at retailers since the AF1′s 25th Anniversary. And they’re a good indication of why the it has incredible staying power, as the application of lime green on the outsole, tongue tag and heel tab makes for a springy delight when mixed with white patent leather. Cop yours today from Dunk.com.cn

After their stellar work on a Nike Air Force 1 from last year’s 1World series, sneakerheads were excited to see samples with ‘Maharam’-emblazoned insoles. Turned out that those were actually part of a Winter Journey Pack, and the 107 year old New York textile maker had something else up their patterned sleeve. Maharam has designed two Nike Blazers and one Oregon Waffle runner, all three featuring heaping helpings of horsehair. Each has a unique weave, so while the Blazers are very similar, each has its own personality. These will be hitting select Nike Sportswear retailers on December 19th, but in the meantime, you can check out some more pics and info after the jump.
