Releasing right around the same time as the similarly now-rare Court Force and Delta Force is this new Nike Air Force II High. AF-deuxs used to sell alongside the aforementioned Forces at Nike Sport Culture accounts, but the change in name to Nike Sportswear heralded a shift in thinking with other retros, hybrids and lifestyle-oriented designs leading the way. And the Air Force II couldn’t have come back in a better colorway, with this Bred palette offering a tiny tribute to its Chicago roots with some AJXI-style patent leather on the Swooshes. We’ve got more images waiting for you to click on the jump below, and if you wanna grab a pair, the only place that has em is Britain’s JD Sports.

More darkness each day, more dark pairs of Nike Air Force 1 ‘Tec Tuffs’. As the shorter days bring inevitably yucky weather, what better way to combat the climate in style than a ruggedized pair of Nike Sportswear’s flagship retro model. The AF1 pictured above is done entirely in obsidian Tec Tuff leather, which has appeared on countless performance athletic and work footwear solutions including a collabo on a rainbow pack of Doc Martens last year. This pair’s on the darker end of the spectrum, and you can get a better look by clicking below, then buy yours from JBseller on eBay.

The happiest couple in hip-hop enjoyed an evening out at the Prudential Center to watch the New Jersey Nets take on the Detroit Pistons in the season owner. New Jersey Nets part-owner Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce were spotted on the sidelines during the Nets’ win, with Jay-Z wearing a pair of the Jordan Spiz’ike Winterized Boot. Jay-Z’s sneaker rotation has been all over the place this year; Blazer Mids, Louis Vuitton Dons, Radii high-tops, adidas Superstars make for quite an eclectic line-up and with Jay-Z’s deep pockets, he can pretty much buy and whatever he wants. Take another look at Jay-Z and Beyonce at last night’s Nets game after the jump and let us know what you think of his latest outfit. via Yahoo!.

Many Jordan fanatics of this era can easily reminisce back to their first ever Air Jordans – the ‘Bred’ IV in elementary school, the Hare VIII in kindergarten, or even the Air Jordan XI for the younger fellows. But what if your Jordanheadism went back to infancy, where your memory is unclear and ‘Michael Jordan’ was just another work for baby-talk? Flip through your family photo albums (if it’s digital, don’t bother looking!) and see what sort of kicks your parents had you rocking when you were ghost-ridin’ the stroller. Did you have the typical white tennis shoes with velcro straps, or were you extra-fresh with one of these crisp OG Air Jordans for kids?
For the latest Sneaker News: Classics Revisited segment, we put the spotlight on some classic Air Jordans, like the Bordeaux VII, Infrared and Carmine VI, some Air Jordan XIIs, but in kids and toddler sizes. These little sneakers-turned -collectible gems are particularly rare, especially at this condition, so feast your eyes on this one-of-a-kind treat – there’s so much heat in this pile it might as well be a bonfire. Take a look at this great gallery of images and let us know which mini-Jordan is your favorite, and head to Sneaker News HD for a nice high-res gallery! Many thanks to Packer Shoes, where all of these vintage Air Jordan items are displayed!

A big release for Foamposite fans and an extra-special for you Baltimore/DMV heads is the Nike ACG Air Max Bakin’ Posite Boot. You can trudge through the snow in style with the Foamposite upper, carbon composite heel, and full length Air unit. Nike Boots is definitely a regional thing – those in SoCal can still rock Vans Slip-ons in December – but the Nike Boot season out East is finally here. “These things are tanks” some may say, but that’s only a good thing, because your feet will be nice and toasty while rocking some heat. Take another look at the Black and Varsity Red ‘Cranberry’ colorway after the jump and watch for the Bakin’ Posite Boot to hit your local Nike Sportswear accounts soon. via HS.

With the new year just two months away, the flagship Air Max model of 2010 arrives in two new colorways for the Holiday 2010 season. Both new pairs feature uni-color designs with a no-frills appeal to the serious runners who want to pound the concrete in the one of the most comfortable Air Max shoes ever created. Both feature tonal uppers in their respective colors with white accents on the swoosh and Flywire, but the Obsidian pair has a white bottom sole opposed to black on the Grove Green colorway. Both winter-ready colorways of the Air Max 2010 will drop soon – the Grove Green colorway has already begun its release while the Obsidian pair is soon to follow – so take a look at the detailed gallery after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Air Max release updates.

For the Nike CR Safari Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II, the great minds of Tinker Hatfield, the Nike VP of Creative Design, and Andrew Caine, the Global Creative Director for Nike Football, meshed together in an old meets new, style meets function project that culminated in Cristiano Ronaldo’s newest signature football boot. In this video feature, Tinker Hatfield talks about “getting out in the world and seeing what’s around” in order to devise great graphic ideas, and he did just that for the historic Safari print that has been revived once again by the Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II. No, he wasn’t out in the jungle or exploring the Serengeti, but someplace a lot more domestic – a furniture store to be exact. Take a look at the video after the jump, because there’s a lot of Nike history worth exploring!

Early this month, Sneaker News scooped you when an excellent Air Jordan 1 Phat Low dropped with an extra layer of dopeness on a Bred and Cement Grey palette by going with the rarely seen Elephant Print Swoosh. Those are kinda like an Un-Supreme Dunk, then these new AJ1 Phat Lows can be the Un- version of the previous pair, with this new edition opting for white all over, even the Elephant base. Whether you wanna rock these right now or put em on ice for next spring, they’re available now at select Jordan Brand retailers including a store Mike himself just helped open down in MIA, SoleFly, or if you’re not in the Miami area, get yours now on eBay.
