The marbled white pair of Jeremy Scott x adidas JS Wings 2.0s was true to the mythical foundations of its inspiration, but what about the company that made Mercury’s winged boot famous?  Another new pair of JS Wings 2.0s has just started to hit retailers, and with its high-contrast black on white look, these are about as close to the Goodyear insignia as depicted on their tire sidewalls, as you could get.  And despite the similarity and their history of collaborations with Three Stripes, Goodyear isn’t officially involved with this project, leaving J.Scott’s signature as the sole name attached.  Click the jump below for more images and grab a pair of these crazy kicks from RMKstore on eBay.

Austin Jermacans and his Future Sole design is indeed the future of Carmelo Anthony’s sixth signature shoe, as the original Melo M6 has been placed on the backburner in favor of Future Sole Melo M6. What started off as a sketch in a high-school student’s notebook is now featured in the Team USA ‘United We Rise’ colorway, featured the paisley-like graphic on the forefoot strap as well as the collar that wraps around the entire ankle. The red midsole stitching also adds an Air Force 1 motif to the design as well.

Space Jam Blazer Mid Part II? Months ago Sneaker News reported a new colorway of the Nike Blazer Mid that featured a glossy black finish on the upper with a tonal swoosh and a blue rim on a white midsole.

Two weeks ago Sneaker News gave you a look at Steve Nash’s latest signature shoe, the low-cut Zoom-cushioned Nike Zoom Go Low. Almost like a revamped version of the Cradle Rock Low – Nash’s previous shoe of choice, the Zoom Go Low features six pods on the bottom sole for Nash to apply pressure to, which is important to Nash’s penetrate-and-dish game. This new colorway features a simple black and white although we’d probably see Nash in a Suns-related colorway rather than this pair taken after his rival San Antonio Spurs. These have begun to hit Nike Basketball retailers so grab a pair now from quickkicks on eBay.

Originally a JDSports Exclusive and now a stateside release, the Nike Air Max 95 Photo Blue is sure to be a huge hit among Air Max 95 fans for it’s resemblance to the original Air Max 95 Crystal Blue colorway. Sneaker News proposed a question – directed to the OG Air Max heads – asking if Photo Blue was ‘close-enough’ substitute to the OG, and many seemed to accept the fact that while the colorway isn’t exact, it was a worthy-enough replica. Decision time will be coming soon enough for these, as they are set to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers in the states next month. Check out the images after the jump and keep an eye out for these on the shelves this September.
