It might be tough to keep track of all the Air Jordan release dates for the coming months, but Sneaker News got you covered. Releasing November 6th alongside the recently postponed Air Jordan II ‘Candy Pack’ are two more colorways of the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Or in this case, the Air Jordan 1 or the Dunk? Those well versed in Nike history know that the Nike Dunk was the inspiration for the first ever Air Jordan shoe, but the colorway seen on this December 2010 Jordan Brand release can be referred to as the ‘Purple Pigeon’, taken from the 2006 SB Dunk Low colorway of the same name. The front toe-box of this Air Jordan1 Phat Low is constructed with anthracite grey nubuck with a lighter grey shade on the center panel, a black tongue and lace placket, a white ankle collar, and varsity purple on the swoosh and inner lining. Quite a nice combination regardless of what shoe it’s on, so take a look at the detailed gallery courtesy of Dunk after the jump and cop a pair early on eBay.

One of the first ever Nike SB Dunks to have ever grace the planet was the Wheat colorway of the SB Dunk High. The Reese Forbes-designed Dunk High was just the second SB Dunk High to have released, and its status as a classic is undeniable. Here’s a look at a November 2010 releasing SB Blazer CS in a similar colorway as the Wheats; reliving old colorways is another way to get your retro fix and this custom series Blazer is one way to rock Wheat SBs without having to shell $400+ for a deadstock pair. Sneaker News gave you an exclusive first look of this shoe back in April but now you can find these at your local SB account – Premier already has theirs in stock. More images await you after the jump so check ‘em out and let us know what you think of the ‘Wheat’ Blazer CS.

So much for the Miami Heat going 82-0. Dwyane Wade looked the part of a guy who only played three minutes during the preseason, and LeBron James 31 points weren’t enough to stop the newly-bigger Boston Celtics. But it was one of the more diminutive Cs who had perhaps the biggest game of them all, with Rajon Rondo dishing out 17 assists in a Nike Hyperfuse Low PE. Rondo’s been rockin’ the Hyperfuse since late last season, and here’s a look at a new Hyperfuse Rondo PE that offers the opposite of last night’s colorblocking pattern. These joints are mostly Celtic green as you might expect, with a combination of white and black accents demonstrating the only real change to Boston’s presentation in the squad’s history. Check out more shots after the jump and grab a pair of these Rondo PEs from RMKStore.

Despite rumors he might attempt a comeback with the Miami Heat, the only opening night Penny Hardaway has been involved with recently, was in a recruiting capacity for the University of Memphis. Hardaway’s been off the NBA hardwood for a good while now, but with the season just starting, we’re reminded of the memories that make the Nike Air Foamposite One a legendary shoe. Penny rocked this OG Dark Neon Royal colorway in the 1997-98 campaign where we unfortunately started to see the deterioration of his knees come into play. The OG Foam Ones have held up considerably better, rising along with a growing selection of Foamposite releases to the top of Nike Sportswear’s Spring 2011 collection. But you don’t have to wait till Q1 ’11; grab the Royal Foamposite One now from RMKStore or on eBay.

The crepe sole isn’t exactly new to Nike or even the Nike Air Max 1; think back to the Air Max 1 ‘Crepe’ of 2004 that featured a hemp toe, brown suede, and a turquoise blue swoosh. The solid make-up of the material should remind you of the Clarks Wallabee for obvious reasons, but there really is no affiliation between the two. Three colorways of the Air Max 1 with a Crepe sole and ponyhair swoosh are set to drop this Holiday 2010 season – this black colorway, one in Sail, and a third in Dark Cinder. The tonal colorway might not do much for you but as you can see, this isn’t your average pair of Air Max 1s. If these catch your eye, take another look after the jump and pick up a pair from JBseller on eBay.

The Nike SB Zoom Paul Rodriguez 4 has a unique two-piece sole that should lend itself to interesting blocking patterns like the one pictured above. The latest P-Rod IV exemplifies the shoe’s elegant if simple leanings with a black suede upper that feels ultra-premium thanks to a grey ostrich Swoosh. Black extends down to the top of the midsole, where the middle and outsole heel give way to gum rubber for a classic skateboarding look that belies the P-Rod 4′s modern technical advantages. A bunch of closeups await your click on the jump below, and you can scoop these up today from select SB spots like Michigan’s Premier.

Further proof that the footwear tastes in Japan tend to be more progressive than anywhere else in the world: this new drop from Nike Sportswear’s Athletics Far East capsule. The Nike Air Moc AFE comes to you in a duo of camouflaged looks, though it’s clear from the colorways that this is an aesthetic choice, and not one of utility. Pretty much the only thing you’d be able to hide inside is a rack of grey denim, if you’re wearing the pair that mixes two shades with white, while the other pair could possibly preclude your being seen in a bushel of peaches, but you can see that both of those are big stretches. Far closer to say that these are some dope slip-ons that offer a study in juxtaposition by pairing them with the military theme applied to rugged ripstop nylon. They’ll be at Tier Zero accounts soon, so stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via CT

A few changes for Deron Williams this offseason; he lost his buddy down in the paint to Chicago Bulls money but the Utah Jazz front office didn’t blink twice as Carlos Boozer was replaced with another Western Conference rising star in Al Jefferson. D-Will’s teammates certainly are different, but they’ll look different as well, because the Utah Jazz went through a wardrobe change by switching back to a Retro-inspired logo but with fresh new colors. You might recognize the ‘Jazz’ font but the addition of a navy blue base on their Away jersey is something new – but luckily D-Will’s got these new Hyperfuse PE’s to match. You can have ‘em too because these just dropped at RMKStore so take another look after the jump and let us know what you think of Utah’s threads.

“The man, the myth, the legend…” is one sample of how Tinker Hatfield was introduced during a Q&A Session at Nike Santa Monica during the Sole Collector x Jordan CMFT Max 11 release event, and there truly is no better way to roll out the red carpet for the legendary architect responsible for the most game-changing and ground-breaking footwear designs in history. Hatfield’s aura of ‘cool’ was visible from head to toe, with a slick black leather jacket and a special PE of the Air Jordan XX3, at ease under the spotlight and deluge of praise. Tinker was ready to address any question regarding the Air Max 1, Air Jordan XI, and the Jordan CMFT Max 11 hybrid, and willing to answer more in-depth ones like his previous work with Kobe and LeBron, the upcoming Air Jordan 2011 and 2012, and his most memorable moment with Michael Jordan during their revolutionary partnership and storied friendship. You should prepare to be all ears for this great info session so take a look at all three parts of Tinker’s Q&A session at Nike Santa Monica after the jump and let us know what piece of information had you surprised the most.
