The Air Jordan 25th Anniversary Collection officially started its release this past Saturday when the Air Jordan 1 25th Anniversary became available to the public. Next in line is the Air Jordan II (2) 25th Anniversary that was originally set for a January 30th release. The official release date of the Silver AJ2 is February 27th, but sometimes retailers don’t follow established Jordan Brand Release Dates. But hey, i’m definitely not complaining about that! If you want a head start on these you can grab the Air Jordan II (2) Retro 25th Anniversary a bit early from shaolin8 on eBay.
Style: 385475-101

New Balance might not get enough love from the sneaker culture in the US, only being associated with old people who ‘need something comfortable for their afternoon walks.’ But overseas, NB is killing it as one of the staple brands in their footwear arsenal. As a 103-year-old brand, it wants to really step it up a notch for the new year. Seeing what’s in store for the Fall/Winter collection at COMPASS, we can get a look at the roster for the first half of 2010. Reviving a bunch of classics from the vault, along brand new models and revamps of other popular models, the Spring and Summer collections is looking at about a whole lot of models and colorways; about 120 variations in total! Talk about emphasizing its heritage. Check out some of the more noticeable pairs, while you can view the extensive collection at NewBalanceLive

Hufnagel (or HUF, for short) has been one of the more notable names of the sneaker and skater sub-culture of the past decade. In addition to the memorable collaborations with Nike sneakers, Huf also produces a successful line of apparel and footwear, all designed in-house. Check out the upcoming Spring/Summer 2010 Collection of Huf footwear, featuring a nice assortment of lows and highs in a wide variety of colors. The insoles shoe the trademark HUF logo, while some pairs feature a HUF tag and a big ‘H’ on the shoe itself. Another nice touch is the dotted line encircling the upper midsole. While HUF may be a micro-brand compared to the big names of urban footwear, this upcoming collection of kicks speaks loud volumes; don’t forget to check out the pics. via HS.

Clearly, nothing Edison Chen does stays private. It seems with the new super collab on the KZKLOT capsule for adidas Originals’ O by O Collection was inspired by some of his dreams. “I always wanted breathable shoes for the hot days of Hong Kong or nowadays LA,” is how EDC explains the adidas Originals kzkLOT Superstar ’80s ‘Breathe’. These black Shelltoes have a mesh upper that permits pretty much any warm conditions, plus a German-striped pull tab that has us searching around to solve Chen’s challenge: “now can anyone tell me where [he] got the inspiration from these ones?”

Over a month has passed since the devastating earthquake the shook the small island of Haiti and captivated the entire world. Many countries were quick to lend hands, but in dire situations like these, emotional support is also welcome. Nike Basketball took a trip to Forest Park Elementary School in Southern Florida, a school with a 60% Haitian population, to create a piece of artwork meant sent a message of hope, love and empathy to the Haitian people. The tag line reads ‘Kinbe Pa Lage’, which translates to ‘Hold on tight, don’t let go’. The artwork was placed on a Nike Basketball t-shirt, and was placed for sale at $25 a piece at Nike retailers, with all proceeds going to Mercy Corps and Architecture for Humanity, two of Nike’s partners in the Haitian Relief Effort. You can now do your part by purchasing a t-shirt from Nike Basketball.

How do you take a shoe designed for the surf set and make it into something rugged for the remaining winter months? In the case of these new Vans Vault Sierra 106 LXes, the perfect answer is adding metal eyelet hooks and corded laces, a la hiking boots. These aren’t the first hiking-inspired sneakers, or even the first Sierra 106 LXes we’ve seen this season, but three supremely clean canvas lowtops riding all-white vulc soles call out to the grownup aesthetic sense in all of us. Check for these at your local Vans Vault retailers in early March. via HB

A few years ago, a brand called Gourmet made some noise for their line of shoes that were obvious knock-offs of popular Jordan Brand models. The public opinion of Gourmet’s line of footwear was definitely split down the middle. After a short hiatus, Gourmet returned with a new line of footwear. In this video brought to us by Hanon and A Number Of Names, you can learn who, what, why, and how the Gourmet brand came into existence. The footwear label has some recent and upcoming collaborations with well known companies both worldwide and in the urban fashion circle, like the Pepsi x Gourmet UNO Collaboration and an upcoming Gourmet Quattro B x Undefeated. Check the video after the jump to learn more about the brand and its plans for the future.

The latest collection of kicks as a result of an adidas x Ransom collaboration features the casual, everyday-sneaker adidas Valley Low and the boat-shoe design adidas Bluff. The Valley Low features a graph paper-like pattern and consists of two colourways, one red and other blue, while the adidas Bluff takes on a Spring season green and a grown up black. All four pairs feature the Ransom logo on the rear outer heel and a Ransom tongue-tag to proclaim its involvement in the international partnership. These are available in limited sizes at Japanese e-tailer Gettry.

If you’re a fan of Supra Societys and have been following our preview of the Supra TK Society Spring 2010 Collection, you’ll be happy to know that two new colourways for 2010 are now available. The first is a TUF Blue Crackle that features a distressed upper, similar to that of dried clay, and a lime-green midsole. The second pair features burgundy patent leather and suede uppers, going for the sleeker, night-time look. Both pairs are available now at Supra retailers worldwide, or you can grab these now from factory413.

Twenty-five years and hundreds of colourways after its debut, we’ve never seen an Air Jordan 1 Retro High quite like this one. Right off the top, this Future Sole Friends and Family only colourway is familiar, but this isn’t the aggressive black and red (and white) we’ve come to expect. Instead, ‘bred’ is broken up into accent hits, letting the two-toned white upper grab most of your attention. Shouldn’t be too hard, given the 3M reflective overlay. Take a look at more photos after the jump, since you have pretty much zero chance of ever wearing your own pair. via HB // CT
