The month of October is creeping up on us, and with it comes the changes of the leaves – or shoes for that matter. Here’s another look at the Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar in Light British Tan and Black that was shown in the Nike SB October 2010 Footwear Preview; the colorway is fitting of the time of year, when the local fauna transforms into rich brown/burgundy/orange tones and our fashion tastes adjust accordingly. Something about these say ‘pumpkin pie’, does it not? Take a detailed look at this October 2010 release after the jump and grab a pair early from Flatspot.

It’s been 20 years since the original release, and even though they were retroed just last year, the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Infrared’ was a no-brainer to reissue this summer. Among the more instantly recognizable signature colorways of all time, the Infrared has come to surpass another OG AM90 colorway in terms of sheer notoriety. But for those who know, the Laser Blue Air Max 90 is equally deserving of legend status. With a clean mix of white, black and grey accented by a nearly-neon shade of blue, these perfectly capture the exuberant attitude that pervaded early ’90s Nike. Check out some new photos after the jump and grab a pair today from RMKstore on eBay.

The Air Jordan1 Premier releases strayed from classic two-toned colorways we were accustomed to and introduced a number of materials and graphics that were never before seen on the classic Air Jordan 1. One such release was the Air Jordan 1 Premier Laser, which featured a brown/black laser graphic similar to that seen on the Air Jordan XX – the first lasered Jordan shoe. The graphic included a number of Jordan-related memoriam and visuals but this unreleased sample version of the shoe features no such graphic, but instead features a pattern that appears both tribal-esque and Mardi-Gras/Vaudeville-inspired motifs. The print itself is definitely much larger than the released version and also uses a fleece-like inner lining. This unreleased sample of the Air Jordan 1 Retro Laser is surely a rare find so take a look at the detailed gallery after the jump and add these to your collection by checking out the auction from toebox_champ on eBay.

One of the more notable December 2010 releases will be the Air Jordan 1 Armor, which features the original classic Air Jordan 1 revamped with a solid one-piece upper material that resembles Foamposite. Not quite Foam but definitely a hard shell of some sort, the ‘Armor’ will add extra protection from the winter climate – if you choose to use it as a weather-ready boot. The first colorway we got a look at is the Varsity Red aka ‘Cranberry’ colorway, sharing a similar colorway to another Nike Air 1/2 Cent colorway that is set to release in the coming months as well. If you want to be the first on your block with these, you can grab a pair of the Air Jordan 1 Armor ‘Cranberry’ from chrome-knight on eBay.

Is it Infrared or Varsity Red? What we can agree on is that is latest sneaker cake looks delicious! Take a look at the Air Jordan VI White/Infrared transformed into a birthday cake, ready to be admired and then sliced into pieces for everyone to enjoy. Perhaps those who have been thinking about embarking on sneaker cake endeavors have been checking up on Sneaker News and our cake features because the details on these sneaker-turned-delectable treats have been getting better and better. The upper is molded perfectly to match the Air Jordan VI and you can even see the perforations as well as the Jumpman lace shroud on the tongue as well as the lace-lock. Take a closer look at this cake after the jump and let us know what you think.

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.
