We showed you an unreleased Dos Equis x Nike SB sample a couple of months back, so if ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’ won’t work with you on a sneaker, which other Mexican beers might be able to fill the void? How about Tecate, as we can clearly see that the newest Nike SB Dunk High Pro Quickstrike has been inspired by its can.  And while this isn’t an official collaboration, some have said the contrast of red and metallic gold sections is reminiscent of both of Eric Koston’s Nike SB Dunk collabos, but all of that’s up for you to decide.  We just show you more shots when you click the jump below and suggest that you can find em now from ID4Shoes on eBay.

Though it was initially released a year before the 1992 Barcelona games, a new Air Jordan VI Retro dropped in the middle of 2000 with Nike Basketball’s unmistakable USAB/Olympic colorway.  You might see shades of the Olympic Sixes when you first inspect this new Air Jordan 1 Phat Low.  These are done featuring a simple colorway that maximizes its white-on-blue contrast through the use of white smooth and pebbled leathers atop Midnight Navy nubuck.  And with just a little red on the inner tongue tag, these are as close as you can get to that superb AJVI, at least until they retro again.  Check out more shots of the white/navy AJ1 Phat Low after the jump and grab yours today from Kix-Files.

Eggplant colorways have been all over the place since the Nike Air Foamposite One was re-released in that colorway just a year after the huge initial drop in 2009.  ’10 has seen everything from the Shox R4 to the Air Pippen II in that unmistakable pearlized metallic purple shade, and while it’s actually Club Purple instead of the Varsity version, we wouldn’t blame you for seeing this new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse as the ‘Eggplant’ Hyperfuse.  These come in the Hyperfuse’s simplest black-on-color blocking pattern and should show up in a couple of months at Staples Center.  In the meantime, you can buy your own pair from select Nike Basketball retailers like JBseller on eBay.

Last week Sneaker News showed you a look at a collection of great Air Jordans that crumbled into dust, but it looks like the owner of that collection, Valmonte of NT, had other shoes to mourn for as well. Here’s a look at two pairs of the Nike Air Max Plus TN that received the same fate; the uppers have remained intact but the humidity of his region has ravaged through the midsoles like a fat kid on cake, but it is interesting to see the inner Air Units revealed. Apparently the Air wasn’t ‘Tuned’ correctly for this climate because these once-proud Air Maxes have become toast. Check out the dissolved Air Max Plus TN after the jump and let us know what you’d do if your kicks turned out the same way.

Earlier this year the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Dark Knight’ released, but some perceived this Blackout colorway to be more Batman than the original released version. Here’s another look at the Nike Zoom Kobe V Blackout, featuring a pitch-black upper with a silver swoosh border and shozoku logo. The silver color gives Kobe’s logo a truly metallic look and combined with the piano black upper, this Kobe V Blackout might be the most “hardcore” colorway to date. Take a look at the detailed shots after the jump and if you haven’t copped a pair yet, pick up yours now on eBay. via Dunk.

Earlier this year during the peak of the Spring season, Sneaker News showed you the Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylor High that featured a colorful quilted pattern on the upper. Here’s a look at the Fall 2010 releases of the Missoni x Converse collab, and you’ll find a noticeable change in color – that is, there’s no color at all. Both featured intricate designs on the upper but black and white was the way to go for these two pairs. The inner lining also features a camel-brown tone with a similarly colored leather tongue as well as All-Star logo on the medial side. These are set to drop early September at select locations with a price-tag of $200, so check out the detailed images after the jump and let us know if you’d drop two bills for Chucks! via Nitrolicious.

Earlier this summer, rumors had Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway signing on with the Miami Heat for the second time in three years.  Not much has materialized as far as Penny’s return is concerned, but if he somehow gets healthy enough to make it, here’s a shoe that’ll be perfect for whatever minutes he sees.  The Nike Air 1/2 Cent is pictured above in its ‘Cranberry’ colorway, which is set to be hung from your tree a week before Christmas on December 18th.  And while your mom used to shoo you from your gifts saying, “good things come to those who wait,” you can go ahead and pick up on the Cranberry Half Cents early if you hit up Kicks-Crew.

Here’s the Nizza’s second go-around with the adidas OT Tech Pack; featuring the Nizza High, this new pair features a zippered shoelace shroud – for a quick second you might’ve guessed that this was an SBTG custom. The upper utilized a pebbled leather and the toe of the midsole features the trademark saw-tooth design, although if you remember the Nizza Low from earlier this year, there is no contrasting black coloring. The midsole does feature a circumventing blue ring on the upper edge. These just released at Wish in ATL so head there to cop and let us know what you think of this latest adidas OT Tech design.
