Air Jordan 1 Retro High   Wolf Grey   Spice | Available

It kinda sounds like something you’d expect to see during the winter holidays, but Jordan Brand/Nike’s new ‘Spice’ shade of red has shown itself to be quite versatile.  It skewed toward orange when in the presence of teal contrasts on a pair of Flight 45 Highs and now looks like the more familiar red that you’d expect to see on an Air Jordan 1 Retro High.  These add Wolf Grey to the underlay for a nice two-toned upper, making for one of the best AJ1s all year.  These AJ1s are out now at Japanese retailer Chapter Express, or you can find them on eBay.

Color: Wolf Grey/Spice-White

Nike Air Max 1 QS   OG Blue | Available on eBay

If someone mentioned ‘OG Nike Air Max 1‘, you’ve got a 50/50 chance of conjuring an image of this pair pictured above.  One of the original 87s along with a pair with Sport Red instead, these Varsity Blue AM1s have stood the test of time.  They dropped last year as a Quickstrike, and it’s a QS drop this time as well, but at least you have a chance to grab a pair this time around.  They’re available at select Nike Sportswear retailers including JBseller on eBay.

Style: 378830-141
Color: White/Varsity Blue-Neutral Grey-White

Nike WMNS Lunar Presto Rejuven8   Julep   Sunbeam   White

We’ve been showing you some great mens colorways of this hybrid running shoe, so how’s about one for the ladies? Check out this new colorway of the Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8 for women featuring a pleasant seasonal mix of julep, sunbeam, and white, a trio of lighter tones fit for the summer. Julep and Sunbeam sounds like its short of crushed ice and a splash of vodka or gin of a great cocktail, doesn’t it? Check out the detailed pics after the jump and pick these up now at Finishline.

Reebok BB4600 Hi   Summer 2010 Colorways

The Reebok BB4600 High is a basketball shoe from the ’80s whose new colorways are both just a bit off from matching the NBA Finals competitors, who coincidentally, started their rivalry around the same time.  If it was sunny out, you might mistake the white pair of BB4600s for a Lakers home look, but when you get in range, it’s navy blue instead of purple.  Meanwhile, the black pair has a sort of alternate Celtics look to it, but even those rarely used unis don’t include any grey.  Whether you’re in LA, Boston or anywhere in between, here’s a retro b-ball look that’s street friendly, and they should hit stateside RBK retailers soon.  via Dunk

Nike Air Flight Falcon   Black   Grey   Chrome

It was March when we last showed you the Nike Air Flight Falcon, an Flight basketball shoe that looked like a hybrid between the classic Air Flight ’89 and Air Tech Challenge II. This new colorway features all black with hints of grey and a nice Chrome lace-harness on the uppermost lace hole. We don’t see many Nike Flight releases so the emblem from the early 90′s adds a nostalgic touch to this old-meets-new model. This new colorway just dropped at Finishline so head there to snag a pair.

Air Jordan VI (6) Infrared Pack | Dr. Jays NYC Release Info

Are you gearing up for the biggest Air Jordan release of the year? Like the Space Jams, it’s likely that getting your hands on a package might require a little leg work. NikeTown in NYC already held a wristband giveaway for the Infrared Pack, and other big-chain retailers like Footaction will be getting their supply in. Select boutiques will be receiving a few packs here and there, as well. You’ll be glad to know that you can add Dr. Jays in New York City to the list of spots that will have the Infrared Pack in stock – but also in limited quantities. Six of their New York City locations will have no more than 10 available at each, but its another option nonetheless, so continue reading for a full list of Dr. Jays locations. Sneaker News bids you the best of luck in copping your Infrared Pack, but remember you can always hop the line and grab them from eBay.

Air Jordan Take Flight   Black   Varsity Red | Holiday 2010

The Air Jordan Take Flight is truly a leap to a new level, as it employs design elements never before seen in previous Air Jordans models. First and foremost, it’s the basketball-specific full-length 360-Air Unit sitting prettily on the midsole, with brackets covering parts of the Air. Then there’s the high-angling ankle as well as the flowing lines on the upper. Are we describing an Air Max Hyperize x Air Max 95 x Jordan hybrid of some sort? The Air Jordan Take Flight is set to touch down later this year in four colorways, so check out the black/varsity red pair after the jump and let us know what other Nike shoes you see in this design. A size 9 sample is also available now from cigar0330 on eBay.

Celebrity Feet: Drake Visits 106 & Park

Drake and Terrence J. hosted back to back episodes of BET’s 106 & Park this week to help promote Drizzy’s debut album, Thank Me Later. On the second day of Drake’s stint as co-host of the countdown show, Drake brought out a pair of Black Red Wing Boots while Terrence J. rocked a pair of the Nike Air Yeezy’s in Zen Grey. Terrence is the second celeb we’ve seen rocking this colorway of Air Yeezy’s in the past couple of weeks – the other celebrity being Common. Drake’s first album Thank Me Later officially released on June 15th and Drake was set to perform live at Pier 17 in South Street Seaport, but due to an unruly crowd, the show was cancelled (which, in turn, generated even more unruliness). Continue reading for a better look at both Drake and Terrence J’s shoes and let us know who had the better pair.
