Part of the Jordan Brand Holiday 2010 Collection is the Air Jordan Force Fusion X, with two colorways set for arrival. One of the two colorways (and the first colorway previewed by Sneaker News) is the Steel Grey colorway, inspired by the original colorway of the Air Jordan X. The Air Jordan Force Fusion X Steel Grey is expected to release in sizes for the entire family; mens, grade school, pre-school, and toddler sizes will be available once these release. The upper toe features a seamless construction while the rear portion and mudguard, which adopts more of the Air Jordan X styling, has a visible stitch construction. Check out these new images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more release info on all Air Jordan releases.

Is the Kobe V Aston Martin too rich for your blood? Why not go for the less expensive alternative? Sneaker News first showed you images of the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Wolf Grey’ in late June and recently brought you an exclusive second look at the upcoming Kobe V colorway. Like the Kobe V Aston Martin, the ‘Wolf Grey’ colorway features a mix of grey, black, and red, a close enough colorway to the limited edition release of mid-May. Would Kobe even wear these during a game? Outlook isn’t good since the colorway has no match to the Lakers purple and gold. These are set to be an October 2010 release but you can get your hands on these a bit early by buying a pair from 95soleman on eBay.

Sneaker News gave you a preview of this new semi-hybrid shoe of sorts back in late August. The Nike Possession Justified features a classic high-cut basketball shoe silhouette but draws comparison to the Air Tech Challenge series based on the design of the upper. However these are neither a basketball nor a tennis shoe, but a new casual option for those who prefer the simple appeal of vulcanized soles. This new colorway of Black, Dark Shadow and Cool Grey features a pinstriped lining with a heel that extends upwards, exposing the material. This new Possession Justified colorway just released at online retailer Zappos so continue reading for another look.

If it’s going to be given the Vintage treatment, might as well slap it on one of its oldest shoes. The Nike Blazer is THE original Nike Basketball shoe, born in 1972 and still going strong 38 years later. The suede joints actually released a year later but the silhouette with the fattened swoosh is considered to be the OG of OGs. Here’s another look at two Nike Blazer Quickstrike releases given the Vintage application; the Gold Dart and Blue Grey colorway feature white swooshes and midsoles with aged colorization on the midsole and a sheer white layer on the tongue. Both have begun to release at select accounts so take a look at the detailed shots after the jump. via suede&mesh.

What’s new in kicks this week? The last seven days was as jam-packed with the latest Sneaker News, so let’s get started; first up, Sneaker News gave you info on three upcoming Jordan Retro releases as well as the entire Jordan Brand Holiday 2010 Collection. In keeping with the new, Nike introduced another Foamposite shoe perfect for the winter season as well as an all-new colorway of the LeBron VIII. LeBron’s fellow Nike rep Eric Koston is getting his own pro model, and the Nike Air Pressure is returning – in a different form. Sneaker News also gave you a look at Spring 2011 Nike Basketball releases – some of which will be available at The Nike Vault, a new Nike Basketball retail spot located in the Staples Center.

The last week in Sneaker News also included a lot of ‘big names’. Yankee stadium was packed with hip-hop fans and the VMAs was pop-music central as a ton of celebrities like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Swizz Beats, Drake, Eminem, and many more enjoyed the spotlight with some fresh kicks. Sneaker News also had a chance to interview Dwight Howard and Carlos Boozer – in which we asked the NBA stars some pressing sneaker-related questions. In other sporting news, Rafael Nadal closed out the U.S. Open with a win as we got a look at a Tennis-Ball Courtballistec 2.2 shoe, and Team USA brought home a not-so-familiar Gold from the FIBA World Championships. It’s impossible to miss a beat with Sneaker News so stop in check out the week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.

The Nike Air Yeezy is one shoe that will be included in “Top 5 of the Decade” lists across the board. All three colorways of the Yeezy are going up in resale price by the day, so some owners are growing more and more hesitant to wear their crispy pairs, and we can understand – the shoe is tough to find and deadstock pairs swim above $700. But, for those who treat their gems and grails like GR Dunks and wear ‘em without regarding for the surroundings, there’s a way to give your beat Yeezy’s a second life – but with a catch. Here’s a look at a pair of the Nike Air Yeezy in Zen Grey that had been put through a cycle in a washing machine; the shoes itself don’t look very used but the owner might’ve felt a wash was necessary – and the results are pretty good. However, the toe-box lost the all-over embossed Y texture and is now a uniform grey-suede finish. Still need a pair in your life but don’t want to shell out the dough? RIF out in Los Angeles has this exact pair for sale at a reasonable price of $354, so take a look at the gallery after the jump if you’re considering buying them or if you want to see the results.

Officially releasing tomorrow is the Air Jordan 6 Rings 25th Anniversary; boasting a Full-3M upper like the Air Jordan V ‘Green Bean’, this colorway of the 6 Rings wowed the crowd since its first introduction months ago. Paired with the translucent panther-paw outsole, the Full 3M Six Rings appealed even to Jordan Brand fans who consider themselves loyalists to the Legacy. This pair of the 6 Rings is given the 25th Anniversary designation given by the 23/25 logo on the inner tongue label, so perhaps a 25th Anniversary Spiz’ike is on the way? Again, these will officially hit select Jordan Brand retailers like Extra Butter tomorrow, but you can always pick up a pair now on eBay.
