All day, a sneakerhead dreams about…well, you fill in that blank. But we all know we love the opposite sex as much as we love our kicks. So why not combine the two? Check out the latest t-shirt from the KIKS TYO Sneakers and Girls series; one t-shirt features Japanese model Yuki Hoashi cradling a row of Baby Air Jordans (you were looking at the shoes, right?), and the other with Hoashi doing her best Arnold impression, rocking a jet-black outfit and a pair of Nike Terminator High. The KIKS TYO series also featured a number of different chicks with kicks, like the KIKS TYO Dunk SB and KIKS TYO Jeremy Scott Wings, so check those out as well. via Freshnessmag.

Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway had some of the most easily identifiable signature sneakers of the 90s. Several of them featured Posite material, but none were quite as crazy as these. That’s probably because we never expected to see Penny with a Nike Air Flight Max II PE, but it’s clear that this one was created for his time in Phoenix. No Posite here, but these do have a Presto-like cage and neoprene sock that means they would have been supremely comfortable. You’ll never get to try on the Penny PEs, so enjoy more photos of these samples after the jump. via Kenlu

Sneakerheadism sees no gender bias; the ladies can rock heat with the best of ‘em. Although at times, there are certain pairs that just don’t fit a woman’s foot. Anatomy 101 tells the female foot is slimmer and smaller in size, so Nike decided to release the ever-popular Nike Dunk High in a “Skinny” version, featuring a slimmer design and higher cut. Here’s a new colourway of the Nike WMNS Dunk High Skinny in an interesting graphic; it’s not quite clear what the image is, but the dotted texture emulates an LED screen. The Skinny Dunk is started to see more colourways so ladies, don’t stray too far. via Collimudo.

Quick, pick something for these to have been inspired by. Diet Coke cans? Dry-erase boards? Sometimes, simple is best, and that’s doubly true for these two new Nike Blazer Mids. They’re about as basic as it gets, adding black or red accents atop a white tumbled leather upper. One of the coolest features on these is the blue aglets, which match the royal outsoles. Two perfect additions to your spring wardrobe, they’re available with black or red hits from Korean e-tailer Kasina.

Check out this (RED)-infused video showcasing Nike’s biggest athletes around the globe telling us to “Lace Up. Save Lives”. Each athlete, which includes a number of Footballers from Europe along with tennis sensation Maria Sharapova and NBA MVP Kobe Bryant (with his Bruce Lee Zoom Kobe V), can be seen using the Nike (RED) laces in their own personal manner – Sharapova juggling a (RED) lace tennis ball and Kobe dribbling a (RED) basketball. The point of the video is not to show off their moves, but to let you know that superstar athletes along with Nike and (RED) are doing what they can to promote awareness of HIV/AIDS and other disease marring our neighboring countries. More Nike (RED) products are on the way, but for now, you can buy your pair of Nike (RED) laces for $4. Check out the video and stills after the jump, and make sure you do your part in assisting your fellow man.

Ray Allen has been a member of the Jordan Brand Team since his days with the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s always been known to rock some great Player Exclusives throughout his career, and we can’t forget the Air Jordan XIII from the Spike Lee joint “He Got Game” (I actually paid more attention to the Pearl Foams). Check out the Air Jordan XII Player Exclusive in Black/Green that Jesus Shuttlesworth wore during yesterday’s match-up against the Orlando Magic. It features black nubuck like that on the Flu Game Jordan XII and a Celtics green on the mudguard, but remember this isn’t the first Ray Allen Air Jordan XII in a Celtics colourway we’ve ever seen. via YahooSports.

Converse Japan has something interesting almost every month, but this time around, One Star’s J-Division wen’t all out. Let’s start from the top-left corner, with the new Converse Trio CC. The Trio typifies Converse’s new Dresscode 1/2 Collection, combining a traditional loafer-style upper with a comfy cup sole.
Next is the new All Star Chukk Mid, whose look should be obvious just from the name. Their Chukka-like eye plackets actually look a little bit like the fake backwards Chuck ALIFE pranked us with last year. And last but not least, the Marine Sea Hi is a hightop deck shoe hybrid with eyes on the Nike Mad Jibe‘s market share. Click the jump below for more photos of each pair. via HS

Over the years, Jordan Brand has done whatever possible to permeate footwear culture of all ages and gender. What was once a men’s basketball sneaker has become the ultimate choice for urban fashion; today there are kids who bounce off the walls to get a pair of Jordans, yet they’ve never seen the man play a minute of basketball. The Air Jordan Force Fusion is an example of Jordan Brand’s efforts to spread out, and releasing them in girl-friendly pink colourways is just another step further. Check out the black/vivid pink colourway of the recently released Air Jordan Force VIII; it combines the Air Force 1 midsole and the Air Jordan VIII upper with a colourway your kid sister would love. These are available now at CitySole.

Sneaker News broke the story a few weeks back, that the latest Nike Sportswear Zoom Tennis Classic HF was set to drop last Tuesday, January 19th. Didn’t get a pair? We’re not surprised, as NSW themselves are just now putting these out on retail shelves. You’ll immediately notice them amongst the crowd, as the pearly white shiny leather uppers probably give off as many lumens as any sneaker we’ve seen, and don’t forget about that kiss of metallic gold on the heel tab. This Hiroshi Fujiwara-designed beauty is out now at NSW’s 21 Mercer St. flagship store.

Amidst all the Jordan Retro heat set to drop in 2010, the Air Jordan 1 AJKO might fall between the cracks. It’s not necessarily part of the Air Jordan I-XX3Legacy, and many younger Jordan collectors today may not readily recognize it in a line-up, but it still is old-school heat. Here are additional images of the AJKO in the original White/Varsity Red-Black colourway but with vintage treatment; the aged midsoles and bottom soles is used to give these the certified retro look, although many might not be keen to it. We’ll let you know when these officially drop in the states. via taobao.
