The Nike Air Flytop has seen several premium and quickstrike releases in its short history, but this new pair is immediately among the best.  With a mix of buttery smooth leather and velvety suede, these Flytops show us their version of all-black everything, straying from the Blackout motif to add a piece of caramel brown leather on the heel.  This golden tan section not only holds the Flytop’s signature strap in place, but it adds another degree of sophistication to this white-soled release.  And these go even one step further, adding a perforated leather sockliner and insole to finish off the premium feel.  Check out more shots by clicking the jump below and look for these at select Nike Sportswear retailers including Cincinnati’s Corporate.

Even with its golden sections pushed toward a mossy green shade, you can more or less immediately see the ‘China’ emanate from the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay we showed you yesterday.  Such is the case with this new pair, a model you can instantly see as right at home during the Holiday 2010 season.  But this Halloweeny Lunar MacLeay is slated to drop during the current fall quarter, so you’ll have a little extra time before pumpkin day to get in a few good hikes.  These black and orange trail runners offer the perfect ride through the beauty of autumnal nature, and with sales already being taken at Japan’s Chapter Express, they’ll likely hit US Nike Sportswear/ACG accounts shortly.

The Size? crew must be having a boatload of fun with their 10th Anniversary collaborations; in the last month alone, we’ve seen Size? collabs with the Puma Blaze of Glory, Nike Blazer Mid, and now we get a UK-inspired duet of the New Balance 577 titled ‘The Estates Pack’. Constructed in suede, leather, and mesh materials with rustic brown and black colorways, both pairs are “unmistakably British” and carry some similarities to the New Balance Pub Pack that released not long ago. Both pairs of The Estates Pack will be limited to 250 pairs each and will release on October 2nd, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more details.

Fans of the series will have thoughts of vengance spring to mind when you mention “striped Nike SB Dunk Lows”.  All the way back in 2005, two different Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Avengers’ made it to retail, with purple and blue pairs both featuring black/white bases.  Fast forward half a decade and now we’re looking at a new striped Dunk Low SB, this pair also heavy on white and black.  The theme or muse remains unclear here, but what’s plain to the eye is a black suede overlay covering a black textile that has white pinstripes horizontally running its length.  It’s one of those designs that can hurt your eyes if you stare at it too long, so gaze upon these carefully and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the Spring 2011 release.  via Warped

It started with the sun setting a tiny bit earlier each day, and with recent weeks offering the occasional chilly evening, you can tell winter’s right around the corner.  If you wanna be prepared, you gotta have at least one pair of good boots in your closet, and if you’re a Jordanhead, you’ll wanna check out the new Air Jordan Six Rings Winterized Boot.  Based on the popular hybrid model that combines design elements from the six shoes MJ wore en route to his NBA championships, the Winterized Six Rings features a ruggedized waterproof construction with metal eyelets, corded boot laces and a chunky sole for optimal traction in sloppy weather.  A dark cinder pair looks like your classic chocolate brown boot with golden laces, while the mostly black pair has just a few hints of tan.  Check out shots of both after the jump and grab or two a pair from select JB retailers including Extra Butter.

Just after the 2008 Olympic Games concluded in Beijing, China, Nike Sportswear dropped the Mid-Autumn Festival Pack.  Spread across the Air Max 1, Blazer and Terminator, these joints were heavy on grey and metallic gold, with the Terms and Blazers also offering large portions of crimson.  And while the AM1 eschewed red save for the laser etched mudguard and heel embroidery, the above pictured sample proves it wasn’t always going to be that way.  This unreleased sample of the Mid-Autumn Festival Air Max 1 shows what they would have looked like with Team Red in tow, along with a few other subtle coloring shifts.  Check out more images of these super rare kicks after the jump and let us know which version you prefer.  via MK

Back in 2003, the Air Jordan XII was Retro’ed in a number of original and fresh colorways but new to the Jordan catalog was a low-top version of the shoe. The classic ‘Taxi’ as well as ‘Obsidian’ colorways received low-top treatments as did a new white/pink colorway for the women, but here’s a look at a Jordan XII Low that missed the cut; features a tonal white upper with a varsity red bottom sole, this colorway – presumably produced in 2003 to coincide with the 2004 release of the Jordan XII Low – is not an original but very well could have been due to the simple Bulls-inspired colorway. In fact, it’s almost identical to the mid-version of the Air Jordan XII the in Air Jordan History of Flight collection that made its rounds throughout NikeTown locations in the States. Would you cop if these released? Check out the extra shots after the jump and give us your thoughts. via modernnotoriety.
