Previewing the Holiday 2010 line, we see that Nike SB is going hard right out the gate with colorways for the Omar Salazar. This colorway that’s already out in stores is a contradiction to the to the eccentric Dino Jr versions, with a simple palette. A black swoosh and what seems to be dark obsidian Flywire, accompanied with contrasted white laces and midsole calls for a subtle but anticipated successful look. Grab a pair at Premier.

Here’s a new Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low that could very easily see its stock sold to mostly men. That’s cos this black and blue sapphire colorway is far from feminine, and with such a simple colorblocking pattern, they should be a great asset to any wardrobe, irrespective of gender. Guys, just remember to size by 1.5 to get a good fit on these, and act now cos it’s sure to be a battle of the sexes in the race to cop these now from 95soleman on eBay.

adidas is enjoying one of its strongest years ever and a significant part of that is thanks to their classic models, including updated versions. Here’s one of the latter category, the adidas Forum Mid Comfort, which appears above in a dope tonal purple canvas colorway. The Forum Mid Comfort has the familiar ‘x’ across its ankles, but the new strap and sleeker upper make these look more than a little like the adidas Originals Highrise lifestyle sneaker. Keep a look out for these at your local Three Stripes retailer over the next couple months and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via SF

Hanon is Scotland’s premier sneaker boutique and while business has boomed for them in recent years, their collab game is even hotter right now. Fresh off projects with Reebok & New Balance, here’s the Hanon x Asics GT II ‘Northern Liites’. As you can see from the blurry yet bright take on this model in the shot above, the shoes were inspired by the Aurora Borealis phenomenon that creates ‘Northern Lights’ in the winter night. They don’t look much like the Nike SB Dunk Mid ‘Northern Lights’, but then again, you’ll have to check back with us for more photos as they’re available. via SF

That the Air Jordan V has managed to upset two favorites en route to the finals of Sneaker News’ March Madness Sneaker Tournament Air Jordan region, is a testament to how much sneakerheads love the ‘Grape’ colorway. This new pair of Air Jordan Spiz’ikes comes in a colorway even the freshest prince would love: a mix of the aforementioned bright-and-fruity palette with cement grey, which was the OG hue for the elephant print you see on this pair’s heel and toes. It’s interesting to see the purple and aquatone hits contrasted with red, but somehow it all makes sense. Spiz’ikes are always an amalgam of Air Jordan classics, perhaps this one moreso than any other pair. If you like what you see, grab them a little early from West NYC or get yours now on eBay.

We’ve already seen some images and a clip of the experience with Jason Mayden at Wish, as lucky ATL attendees got to hear from the JB designer talking about the industry, as well as answering every question a sneakerhead can possibly think of. Among some of the things discussed is the passion and dedication one needs to succeed in the footwear business, OG pair upkeep, Nike Air on Jordan products, and rumors of upcoming releases like the Infrared VI pack.
Along with getting a glimpse of the 2010 Holiday Jordan line, those present also got a chance to see the impressive collection of Joerdan23, a serious collector from Nashville Tennessee. Some notable sample kicks that were on display were a pair of Jordan V’s with Agassi Tech Challenge midsoles, White/Cement Jordan III’s with ice soles, X’s with IX midsoles, and a Nike Turf Trainer with a XI midsole. Also featured were a pair of Infrared Air Jordan VI’s with alternate color blocking on the midsole and a special pair of Gentry Humphrey’s Air Jordan XIII’s. Joerdan was also the raffle winner of a 1 of 1 Jordan sample designed by Jason Mayden, with proceeds going to Haiti relief. A lot of heat in one space. Hopefully JB can provide more events like this in the future as a thank you for all of the sneaker community’s support. via TSG

First there was the Dub Zero celebrating MJ’s past and future of the Air Jordan franchise. Then came the Spiz’ike recalling the success of Nike’s campaigns featuring Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon. Last year, the Sixty Plus debuted to commemorate Michael’s feats on the court whenever he scored 60+ points in a single game. It was only a matter of time that JB would follow through with another hybrid of popular Jordan models. Sneaker News gives you an exclusive look at a new upcoming model, Rare Air, which apparently brings together elements from the AJ 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Nothing else can be confirmed as of yet other than this is anticipated for this year’s already stacked roster for the holiday season. Stay tuned.

Next time your grandma calls your kicks ‘tennis shoes’, if you’re rocking Air Jordan Icons, she’s kinda right. That’s cos Dwayne Wade had to jump over a net en route to a layup just to hold off Andy Roddick in a game of celebrity H-O-R-S-E on Saturday in Key Biscayne, FL. Roddick tore out to a H-O-R to H lead thanks to a no dunking rule, but his Lacostes were no match for D-Wade jumping around every which way in a pair of white/navy Icons. Check out Wade with the between-the-legs layup and more pictures after the jump. via HoopChina

With an improbable win over the aging San Antonio Spurs, the New Jersey Nets removed themselves from a tie as the worst NBA team ever. 10 wins isn’t exactly a successful campaign, but the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets have a bright spot in the improving play of seven-foot Chinese-born power forward Yi Jianlian. Yi has put up career best numbers in both points and rebounding next year, and you gotta wonder if his collection of player exclusives from Nike Basketball has helped at all. Here’s Yi’s Nike Hyperize PE, which aside from the ‘Yi’ scorpion logo, looks an awful lot like a UConn shoe. Neither had a winning season but both have excellent kicks, and you can see more of Yi’s Hyperizes after the jump.

You’ve seen how Omar gave his own input as to how he wanted his first signature shoe from Nike SB to look like; we wonder if he’s responsible for some of the strong colorways for some of the ZOS released or already previewed. Here’s a look at pair sporting Yellow Ochre and Del Sol, giving it nice tonal space boot look. The yellow on the sole’s planet and spaceship is also a nice accent. Available at Asian markets like Kasina, we’re bound to see these hit US retailers soon.
