We saw some Size? x Reebok collbo kicks earlier this year that featured metal eyelets, and they aren’t the only RBKs with a rugged makeup this year. For Fall/Winter 2010, Reebok will present its Outdoor Pack, a collection of sneakers that are slightly altered to facilitate an outdoorsy look. The pack contains two hightop designs and a single lowtop, with the Ex-O-Fit Plus Hi, BB4600, and Workout Plus, respectively. These joints feature hiking laces, metal eyelets and earthy colors for a look that’ll be perfect for the colder months. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via FRESHNESS

Much to the delight of traditionalist sneakerheads, we’ve seen a surge of gum-soled sneakers in recent months. There’s also been a huge push toward vulcanized soles over the last year or so, but these models have always had ‘em. Vans Eras and Mountain Editions typically feature white soles with black foxing bands, but for the Gum Pack, you can see they’ve been given the gum look. Both models look great in either black or blue suede plus white contrast stitching, and we’ve got more pictures for you to examine after the jump, in advance of the Fall 2010 release date. via FNG

The last week featured a plethora of scene-stealing Sneaker News; on the heels of Kobe’s 5th Championship, we got a first look at LeBron’s eighth signature shoe – until Kobe brought a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe V for the Championship Parade. LeBron’s free-agency in-decision has been the #1 topic in NBA news but a youngster named John Wall has a set future for now, as he was drafted first overall while being chosen to represent the Reebok Basketball label. The celebs were out in full force, as three of the best MC’s of this decade – Kanye, Hova, and Eminem – were out and about in some notable sneakers. Nike SB and Nike Running did what it could to get some notice, as we got a look at some early-2011 Nike SB releases, a sea of Air Max 2011 colorways, and an Air Max 24/7 in a familiar colorway.
But in the end, it was Jordan Brand who stole the spotlight and ruled the week; Sneaker News gave you a look into the next Air Jordan VII Retro and an OG AJ IX while confirming the releases of some big-time retros like Air Jordan III White Cement and the ‘Playoffs’ Air Jordan XIII. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the Retros or even the OG Jordan Brand apparel that caused the most buzz; Sneaker News gave you notice of two Jordan hybrid projects – one involved Air Max and the other a two-model hybrid with Collezione Package pairings. Don’t let this week fly over your head because there are enough teasers and previews to enjoy, so stop in and check out this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.

Hybrids have caught our attention lately, haven’t they? The Air Jordan XI x Air Max 1 was a sure-fire topic of conversation because of the partnership that was once thought improbable. The Nike Air Max 1 again is in focus, but this “hybrid” of sorts is a lot more subtle than what Jordan Brand did. Take a look at this Sample pair of the Wallabee x Nike Air Max 1; everything about the shoe is from the eighty-seven except the outsole, which appears to be crepe-like material found on the resurgent Clarks Wallabee lifestyle shoe. No word on whether Clarks had any part of this production, but we can expect this colorway to drop in Fall 2010 (if they don’t get scrapped, that is). Take a closer look after the jump and although the auction is closed, check out the listing for this sample from langox510x on eBay.

The Jordan Brand-sponsored Quai 54 Streetball Tournament is an annual event held in Paris, France, showcasing the best streetball talent across the globe. Streetball squads from the U.S., France, China, Japan, Switzerland, and others participate in the sudden-death 16-team tournament; last year’s tournament was won by the French team, and it looks to repeat its performance this year during the 2010 Quai 54 Tournament which will be held this weekend, June 26th and 27th. Last year, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 1 Retro as well as the Jordan Elements in a colorway inspired by the event, and for 2010, the limited-to-2,000 Air Jordan IX that Sneaker News gave you a first look at, as well as an aptly colored Jordan Team ISO will release tomorrow, June 26th, with Nike Harajuku being one confirmed location.
UPDATE: Both pairs will also be dropping in limited quantities at worldwide House of Hoops locations tomorrow.

Here’s a shoe that’ll have youngsters excited for a blast from the past and the older Nike heads screaming “WHY?”. The more accurate cry of disbelief would be “Why not?”, as in “Why not retro the original Nike Air Trainer SC II 3/4?”. Perhaps it’s better to have something than nothing at all; check out the Nike Auto Trainer GS, the vulc-soled version of the Nike Air Trainer SC II 3/4 from the peak of Nike Training of two decades ago. The colorway of white, grey, and a tennis-ball-esque lemon yellow and green is definitely a nice combination and actually brings out the best of this hybrid shoe – a near perfect copy of the OG colorway. These kids sizes just dropped at Wish so stick with Sneaker News and we’ll let you know when the mens/womens varieties become available.

The Nike SB P-Rod IV has seen a interesting maturation over the years; since the first Paul Rodriguez shoe – the Nike SB P-Rod 1 – each P-Rod signature shoe experienced a slim-down along with a lower profile, sticking more to the classic skate designs originated by the likes of Vans. This latest colorway of burgundy and white is similar to the Retro-Phillies burgundy and university blue P-Rod 2.5 that we previewed not long ago, utilizing the rich burgundy suede upper with a white swoosh and midsole. This latest P-Rod should hit Nike SB retailers soon as part of the Fall 2010 collection. via Colmilludo.

Here’s another look at the upcoming Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid. Rising from its previous incarnation as a lowtop, these are a sort of Un-Blazer CS, with both pairs meeting in the middle, right around the ankle. This first pair features the same simple styling that made the original Janoskis such a hit, with a black suede upper adding white on the Swooshes and tongue tag. If these are anything like the Janoski Lows, you can expect Stefan himself to leak photos similar to the one above, and we’ll show you all of them here on Sneaker News. via N-SB.org

The Air Jordan 2010 Playground Outdoor was created specifically to meet the demands of ballin’ on blacktop, and here’s a pair to match the surface. These new AJ2010 Outdoors are as dark as most playgrounds after 9pm, save the white embroidery that adds branding to the tongues and criss-crossing straps. This is a no-nonsense shoe whose only potential weakness (being all-black) is offset by the huge shotgun perforations lining the side panels. Quite possibly the best (and best-looking) outdoor basketball shoe since the legendary Nike Air Raid, these black/white AJ2010 Outdoors will be out later this year. Click the jump below for more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Kinstor.
