Wearing Jordans in the snow? What was once deemed an act of heresy is now an acceptable practice thanks to the Air Jordan Spiz’ike Winterized Boot. These originally released last winter and surely came in handy when trudging through the monstrous blizzards of the last winter season, and let’s hope that we don’t have to put these to use as much this coming Winter 2010 season. The Spiz’ike Boot features all-weather-ready colorways and materials, like the chunky outsole that would have zero problems stomping in a foot of snow and a leather mudguard that laughs in the face of salt-stains. Dark Cinder and all-Black just dropped at Finishline so check out these re-run colorways after the jump and let us know which colorway you’d pick.

There’s no doubt that the Air Max2 CB ’94 – Barkley’s signature shoe – is one of the most beloved Nike Basketball shoes of all time. Simply put, not one ‘turrible’ colorway exists because the design of the shoe was jaw-dropping at the very least. Back in 2010 is the Black/Varsity Red-White colorway of the Air Max 2 CB ’94; the upper features a mix of black and varsity red with a white midsole – a stark contrast to the recently released all-Ink colorway of the CB ’94 but still a nice colorway nonetheless. If you missed out on this great retro release in 2004, Eastbay has these available right now so don’t miss out.

The Torsion Special is one of adidas’ classic footwear silhouettes from its storied catalogue and arriving in October is a high-top version that looks ready to take on any terrain, smooth or rugged. The adidas Torsion Special High features the Torsion Special design but features an elongated ankle with three extra D-ring laceholes on each side, giving the shoe the perfect construction for the trail or even as a general winterized option. This new colorway combined grey tones, black, sky blue, and hot red, and should arrive at adidas retailers this coming October, so check out this first look at the adidas Torsion Special High after the jump and let us know what you think. via suelasdegoma.

adidas’ adiZero collection has historically seen running and later soccer shoes released under its umbrella, but here’s an upcoming basketball signature that owns that same distinction. The adidas adiZero Rose is Chicago Bulls 1 Derrick Rose’s sig for the upcoming NBA season, a look that has undergone some changes since we previewed a model dubbed the adiZero TS Creator back in April. That shoe never hit retail and these bear more than a passing resemblance, with the ankle strap now gone and replaced by a huarache-like support. This first pair comes in the immortal Bred colorway and will available at select retailers including Foot Locker right before the NBA season starts, on October 22nd.

This past year will go down in fashion history for its use of ‘all black everything’, but grey has played an equally huge role in the post-recession fashion world. Grey softens high contrasts and might be the ‘cleanest’ color other than white, and we all know how amazing a range of greys looks on the Nike Air Max 95. This one goes a bit further than normal, sticking with a mix of silver and greys all the way down to Anthracite without a speck of ‘color’ to be seen. It’s a simple concept on paper but turns out to be one of the hottest AM95s in recent memory, and they’re available exclusively from Britain’s JD Sports.

‘Air Jordan’ and ‘Hallowed Ground’ is a connection that can be easily made; whether it was his NCAA Championship winning performance for the Tar Heels or his six titles on the United Center hardwood, everywhere Jordan goes, success follows – in one way or another. Here’s a look at the low-top version of the Air Jordan Hallowed Ground; not much has changed on the upper design but the heel is stripped clean and features a stitched-on ’23′ a-la the Air Jordan IX. Two colorways arrive – a white/black ‘Oreo’ and a classic-Bulls – and should arrive in the coming months so don’t be surprised if you see PEs for Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, or Rip Hamilton show up in the upcoming NBA season, so check out the detailed shots of both colorways after the jump and let us know what you think of the design. via Kinstor.

Ronnie Fieg’s ongoing collaboration with Asics has produced some beautiful work of late, and oh yeah, the sneakers are pretty dope as well. Feig’s been showing us his latest kicks on the feet of some gorgeous ladies of late, so here’s a more realistic look at what to expect if you can get your hands on the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Coves’. Check out these images of ‘The Cove’ GLIIIs on the feet of Complex’s Joe La Puma and Phil Annand from The Madbury Club. We’ll leave it up to you to judge their accompanying fits, but one thing’s clear from these images: the kicks have roughly the same shade of blue as your typical swimming pool, and they look great with denim, even when soaking wet!

By now you Kobe fans should have a clear idea of what the upper design of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI will look like, so here’s a closer look at what you can expect from the Kobe VI’s traction. The bottom sole features a one-of-a-kind traction design that features chambered grooves, perhaps acting as mini suction cups to keep your feet glued to the ground when making cuts around the hardwood. The forefoot features three prominent flex-grooves while the heel is designed with a Y-cut groove pattern for optimal 360-degree maneuverability. Speaking on the overall design of the traction pattern – one could assume that it is either inspired by snakeskin or perhaps derived from the heartbeat motif used in the Kobe V, or even a different human organ – the honeycomb infrastructure of the human lungs. There’s still a ton more about the Kobe VI that has yet to be revealed so stick with Sneaker News for all Kobe-related news, and let us know what you think of the new traction design. via NT.

Think “early ’90s Nike midtops with in black and red with an ankle cutout” and you’re likely to conjure images of the Air Jordan VII and/or Huarache series. Mention criss-crossing velcro straps from that same era, and you’re sure to picture the AJVIII. But before any of those all-time greats got out the gate, the Nike Air Trainer Max 91 was in the weight room and out on the track. This Trainer Max 91 was last retroed in 2005, and the beloved Bred colorup ensures these’ll fly off shelves again a half a decade later. Check out a bunch of detailed images by clicking the jump below and grab yours today from CitySole or also on eBay.

The Air Jordan Six Rings is a hybrid sneaker based on design cues from each of the six shoes Micheal Jordan wore while winning his six NBA championships. The initial releases came in packs of opponent-palette colorways with the Air Jordan 1 Phat Low, followed by a sixth pair that combined all of these team colors into one. The latest Six Rings, then, are almost that pair’s ‘Un-’ offering a simple tonal silver colorway with no accents to speak of. The key feature on these, instead, is an upper crafted entirely in reflective 3M material to make these absolute neck breakers when the sun goes down. Check out more photos in advance of the September 18th release date and if you like what you see, avoid the rush and grab yours early from PickYourShoes or on eBay.
