The twenty-fifth Air Jordan shoe had high expectations and Tinker Hatfield was the one individual that could meet and surpass those standards. Perhaps the greatest footwear designer in history, Tinker Hatfield was responsible for some of the greatest sneaker designs known to man, and this new colorway of the Air Jordan 2010 pays special tribute to the man responsible for the sneaker-based cultural phenomenon that has grown exponentially over the last decade. Sharing the same colorway as the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Tinker Hatfield that released earlier this year, this Air Jordan 2010 sample was made for MJ himself, and features the luxurious beige cream leather upper with a solid black midsole and trim with the bright orange taking point in the inner lining. The translucent bottom sole also reveals the orange cushioning innards of the midsole. Continue reading for another look at Michael’s Air Jordan 2010 Tinker Hatfield PE and let us know what you think of this new colorway. If you’re in the Miami area, check these out on display now at SoleFly.

The Nike Air Royal Mid isn’t a shoe for the lighthearted. While a few basic colorways have released, Nike Sportswear has treated the Royal like the artsy middle-child, the one that is given permission to paint all over his/her bedroom walls and come to the dinner table with a funny hat. If you can recall all the Royal releases of this year – Macarons Pack, Harris Tweed ‘Vach’ Pack, Wingtip Pack – the shoe definitely appeals to those with a funkier taste in kicks. these two new colorways of the Royal Mid VT feature molded leather uppers with unique color-blocking techniques that doesn’t restrict itself to seams and panels – something you rarely ever see in a classically-designed Nike shoe. Both of these new colorways just hit Nikestore so take another look after the jump and grab a pair for yourself today.

Charles Barkley’s something special, ain’t he? He’s one of those personalities that stay in the public spotlight by being his true self, although we do wish his golf swing was just a joke. Other than his acumen for staying relevant in the pop culture scene outside of basketball, Charles Barkley is one of the few big-men in the NBA that had a successful signature line of kicks. You’ve got certified classics like the Air Force 180, the Godzilla joints, the Air Force Max, and among others, the Nike Air Max CB 34. The aggressive upper design paired with the full-length truncated Air Unit was someone only Barkley could pull off, and the all-new Glass Blue colorway isn’t a disrespect to the OG colorways. Check out the images of the Glass Blue CB 34′s and get familiar because these sick Retro joints just hit Long Island’s premier sneaker shop Extra Butter - but you can always grab a pair on eBay.

Kobe Bryant recently stated in an interview that he would beat LeBron James in a game of one-on-one. The Black Mamba was bold in saying, “I’d win, I’d win. That’s what I do. One on one … that’s easy for me, you know. Playing one on one is how I grew up playing; it’s like my thing.” And in case you missed it, Kobe has a knack for winning with a team too, having just completed a fistful of NBA championship rings courtesy of the Lakers’ hated nemesis, the Boston Celtics. LA-based streetwear giants Undefeated cranked out special tees for each of the Lake Show’s three consecutive NBA Finals runs and are launching a preemptive strike against the My-hammy Heat this preseason. ‘BRING THE HEAT’ is a simple challenge, one that Kobe and company will be tested on come their Christmas Day showdown against the Heat. Look for the South Beach-bashing tee at all UNDFTD locations and online this Friday.

The Nike Air Foamposite One in the Royal colorway is easily considered the greatest sneakers of all time despite having a swoosh the size of tiny paper-clip on the forefoot of the shoe. The minimalistic branding worked just fine with the Foamposite One because the shoe itself was a spectacle in itself; Nike (or any other brand for that matter) had never done anything like Foamposite before, and the introduction of Foam also fell at a time during which Nike started to break away as the be-all end-all of basketball performance sneakers. Re-issue number four will arrive in early 2011 so make sure you have some Christmas money left over to cop these once these drop – although some overseas sneaker retailers have had these early. Take another look at the 2011 Retro version of the Nike Air Foamposite One in Dark Neon Royal after the jump and let us know if these are a must-have for you. via jordan8420.

After years of purists dismissing their ‘Ape Jordan’ origins, Gourmet may have gotten the last laugh versus Nike. The Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Heineken’ is a legendary pair precisely because of the German beermaker effectively ending its distribution by issuing Nike Inc. a cease and desist letter. It’s pretty obvious collaborations have become considerably more prevalent in the seven years since the Hiney Dunks dropped, and now their world famous lager’s logo appears fully authorized on the lateral ankle of these new Heineken x Gourmet Quattro C hightops. As indicated by the ‘C’, these joints feature a canvas upper whose all-black ankle patch adds a bit of tonal depth, while white laces and soles add contrast and just a hint of green on the heel tab shouts out the bottle after which they’re designed. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these Gourmet x Heineken collabo kicks.
