Jordan Expedition   Black   Red

Jordan Brand has launched a series of successful lifestyle sneakers and boots, but what about an answer to Nike ACG?  Enter the Jordan Expedition, a rugged cross trainer with styling that’s all at once quintessentially ‘Jordan’ and somewhat beholden to the All Conditions Gear heritage.  This particular pair goes with the can’t-miss colourway we call ‘bred’ and represents a whole new style of hybrid for JB to explore.  Get started early with your pair from FinishLine.

Style: 384279-061

Fluff x Nike SB   Fluff SB Launch Event Recap

Fluff not only nailed their Nike SB Zoom Bruin collaboration, but they perfectly translated their name to its release party.  Held at the Nike SB pop-up shop in Barcelona, Spain that’s managed by local boutique Trust Nobody, the party showed off the upcoming Fluff book in an all white room that probably resembles living on a cloud.  Back on earth, people were chillin with good music, enjoying the skateboarding-themed photography exhibit and eating tapas to celebrate the Bruin drop.  If you couldn’t make it to the party, enjoy some photos after the jump.

Nike Hyperdunk   Manu Ginobli   Argentina PE

Manu Ginobili excels as an awkward slasher who’s all elbows and angles through the lane, just like the criss-crossing Flywire that makes up the side panels on his Nike Hyperdunk PE.  It’s an unreleased version that commemorates Argentina’s role in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.  No word why they didn’t release for retail, but that means that if you choose to cop them from Marquee Sole, they’ll be all the more valuable.

Nike SB   Fall 2010 Preview

You just got used to your new P-Rod IIIs and now Nike SB is gonna drop *another* Paul Rodriguez signature?!  Enter the new world where Nike Skateboarding is putting their main man up for an annual release just like basketball drops.  These catalog photos from the Fall 2010 reveal that the P-Rod 4 is going to be accompanied by the vulcanized P-Rod 2.5 and new signature drops from Stefan Janoski and Omar Salazar.  Omar might have the dopest shoe of the entire set with a Grape-like colourup, but don’t forget about all the Dunks, Blazers, Bruins, and all the apparel from the Nike SB Fall 2010 collection, all pictured after the jump.  via N-SB.org

Nike Air Maxim 1 Torch   Spring/Summer 2010 Sample

Nike’s new Torch fabric is a multilayered mesh that’s good at keeping your feet cool.  And that’s especially important for kicks like these, which are pure fire.  Here’s a Nike Air Maxim 1 Torch ND sample that has been blessed with a whole lot of what’s been good about the Swoosh over the years.  They have a black base that’s nubuck where it’s not Flywire or Torch, which really comes to life by the power of electric yellow and purple accents.  Put all of this on a gum sole and it’s a tripped-out modern classic.  We really hope these make it to retail, but if they don’t, you might have a nice collectors item in the size 9 that’s avilable from Shoeniverse! on eBay.

MVPuppets: Mystery of the Missing VII

LeBron James clearly has a million different (colourways of) Nike Air Max LeBron VIIs, but one juxed pair doesn’t go unnoticed.  The latest MVPuppets spot from Nike Basketball centers around the private eye hired to find LeBron’s Sevens, and his efforts to that end.  It’s kinda silly until Kobe comes into question.  From there it’s clear that the Mamba is on top of the world, because how else would someone that used to be so stiff let a felt miniature completely skewer him?!  It’s hilarious, just watch it by click the jump below.

Nike Blazer AC High LE   Dark Cinder   Velcro @ 21 Mercer

The Nike Blazer AC High LE in Dark Cinder is now available at 21 Mercer, Nike’s Sportswear shop located in the SoHo district of lower Manhattan, NY. The Blazer AC combines the classic Blazer design with vintage-tennis-shoe velcro straps. What was once considered to be “uncool” and meant for toddlers is now the focal point of a vintage and utilitarian pair of kicks that’ll surely turn heads. The dark cinder leather upper with tan trim give the otherwise playful design a serious, masculine touch, and with the classic Blazer design and white midsole, you’ll definitely be kickin’ it old school.

Nike Sportswear Blazer   10 Holiday Colorways

If you think you need some color in your life, you’re in luck; Nike Sportswear’s Holiday Collection includes ten (yes, ten) new colourways of the Nike Blazer. Nike has deemed the Blazer as “Designed for Sport, Crafted for Life”, and we can now enjoy ten new colourways to serve this dual purpose. The Nike Blazer is still a strong staple of street footwear, even over a third of a century after its release, and the simple design paired with a lively color will do just fine in carrying the Nike Blazer name. Just take a gander at the pictures and see which color and cut matches your aura.
