The other day we showed you the latest images of a new colourway of the Air Jordan 2010, presumably that of the Air Jordan 25th Anniversary Collection. These were apparently released only at NikeTown in Chicago with an alleged limited production run of 72 pairs, although that remains to be seen. Each pair came accompanied with a number of bonus extras, like exclusive Jordan socks, Dwyane Wade poster, and a Jordan retail bag. Keep checking back with Sneaker News for more information regarding this limited pair and the possibility of a wider release, but if you’re a hardcore Jordan collector and don’t want to risk it, you can grab yours now from trandandco on eBay.

For those who were unable to be in Dallas for the Jordan Brand 23/25 Experience, check out this video to get a first-hand look at what was going on. Interactive touch-screen media, a video of the great Tinker Hatfield discussing the structure of the Air Jordan 2010, the Air Jordan White Collection exhibit, and some sneakerhead star-sightings were the happenings at this iconic, one-of-a-kind event. It truly a Museum of Jordan History, as artifacts from his past were up on display, from his college days to his roles in feature films. Thanks to DJ Greg Street for the vid.

Lance Armstrong’s charity has had such an impact that whenever we see black and yellow kicks, we’re not thinking “Pittsburgh Steelers” or “Wu-Tang” any more. This pair of Nike Air Max Skylines is sure to draw comparisons to the extensive and ever growing Nike x LIVESTRONG arsenal, although its actually part of the Athletics West collection despite the color scheme similarities. With these Skylines, the addition of healthy portions of grey balances out the otherwise harsh contrast and makes them more streetwear-friendly. Grab a pair today from Nike Sportswear retailers like StepToRun on eBay.

Sneakerhead traditionalists frequently bemoan the rise of hybridization/modular design. They probably don’t realize that most sneakers are similar because of the progression of development, but then again, some combos just weren’t meant to be. Take for example, the Nike Vandals and Air Max 90s. Seperately, each has a rabid following and sells a ton to ‘regular’ shoppers. Tell a sneakerhead they’re being mashed together, and there’s sure to be tears and gnashing of teeth.
Well, lighten up, guys. The Nike V-Light is a lesson for you to avoid making yourself sad with your keen observation skills. Yes, this shoe resembles both the Vandal and AM90 in some ways. They also have a Swoosh on the side just like the Air Jordan 1. But seriously, take a second look at the V-Light and notice how it captures a series of iconic Nike design elements for an interesting new kid’s shoe, just like the above-linked Nike Vunk. A mostly black pair and one in black/grey/white with orange hits are both available from NikeStore.

Reebok’s Top Down is probably the most widely seen fold-down hightop to date. They might have started a full fledged trend, cos here’s a new look from Asics that reminds us of a Puma Urban Vistech Linen from early this month. The Onitsuka tiger Kamogutsu share’s the Puma’s sense of floppiness with its cloth ankle that can be folded down to reveal an accent colour on the lining. Despite the obvious similarity, these are very unique, their suede and textile uppers one of the few examples of appropriately-placed pinstriping on a sneaker. Check your local Asics retailer, they just arrived at Japan’s ripe.

Nike ACG made a brilliant choice in adding a grid pattern on the new Air Salbis Mid GTX that dropped last fall. All Conditions Gear managed to capture the spirit of the original collection, and update it while keeping things quirky. Here’s another trail runner with an engineer pad for the underlay, the new Nike ACG Air Abaziro. They use a similar palette to the relatively subdued Pyroclast that just dropped, but these are significantly busier. They just released at Nike Harajuku, so we’ll keep you posted on a possible stateside release.

Puma unveiled the Kehinde Wiley x Puma Africa Unity Football Kit along with a small collection of awe-inspiring artwork yesterday night in SoHo, NY for the Legends Of Unity cause. Among the exhibits were a small collection of Puma footwear and shoelaces with intricate graphics designed by Kehinde Wiley, the LA-Born artist of African descent. The oil paintings combined detailed textiles that required meticulous discipline and photorealistic portraits of some of Africa’s prominent footballers. The artwork, apparel, live music, and attendance of prominent artists like Chuck Close all combined to create a momentous event that celebrated the worthy cause. Be sure to check out the nice collection of images after the jump.

Don’t you just love when a pair of kicks drop that’ll perfectly match something in your closet? My Mitchell & Ness fitted with the same all-over print would go perfectly with these new Blazers. All kidding aside, this type of graphic would definitely appeal the sneakerheadettes in the making; the summer-insired graphic of strawberries, citrus fruits, and rainbows set off by a clear candy-yellow swoosh and light-pink trim would be a nice summer shoe for the kiddies. These Nike Girls Blazer Mids are available now at NikeStore.

Gourmet was quiet in ’09 but in 2010 the footwear brand has definitely pumped up the volume. Just yesterday we showed you a video interview with John Buscemi, one of the founders of Gourmet, and now we have detailed images of the Gourmet Spring 2010 Collection. In the Spring line-up are two new colourways of the Quindici in a canvas upper, the Cinque in a grey, and the Quadici, which features a lower-cut duck-boot design similar to the Nike Woodside Boot. Check out the images after the jump and we’ll let you know when these will become available. via MK.

Despite one of the snowiest winters in recent memory feeling like it could last forever, warm weather is rigth around the corner. If you happen to be an Uptown kinda guy/gal, you know exactly what that means: new white Nike Air Force 1s. Today, we get a look at two classically styled two-tone AF1 Lows. Both are mostly white with a single accent colour, so you can choose club purple or pine green. Neither accent shade is particularly ‘springy’, but the balance with all that white will have you hunting around to grab these for your basket. Look no further; SneakersNStuff has both pairs in stock today.
