Air Jordan Six Rings – Metallic Black – New Photos

As is the case with the Nike Air Foamposite One colorway it draws on, the Air Jordan Six Rings in Dark Neon Royal is on tap for a Spring 2011 release, and there’s already another satiny metallic pair in the works for soon thereafter.  Nobody would cry if the Pewter colorway made its way over to a 6 Rings port, but you can also expect a resoundingly positive reaction from the Metallic Black 6 Rings.  Looking a tiny bit like the Black Air Force 1 Foamposite that will release to retail this Friday, the Metallic Black Six Rings is dark as night, save for the translucent sole, and features a matte if metal-like finish on its not-quite-patent, not-quite-Foamposite mudguard and heel.  Have a closer look and stick with Sneaker News for these and all Air Jordan release dates.  via in52

NBA Feet: Kevin Durant   Nike Zoom KD III

Kevin Durant returned to the NBA hardwood after being sidelined for a few games with a sprained ankle. Well, the Thunder managed to win both games in Durant’s absence and upon his return, the young squad won by a larger margin against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a premature debut of the Nike Zoom KD III by Durant’s teammates Royal Ivey and D.J. White, Kevin Durant made his own debut of the Zoom KD III in the ‘Home’ colorway of white, black, blue, and orange. Dropping 28 points, grabbing 8 boards, dishing out 5, denying 3, and pick-pocketing 1, Kevin Durant didn’t miss a single step from his return from injury and set the stage for the Zoom KD III in the perfect way – by helping his team win. In fact, the early debut of his sig shoe might not have bothered Durant at all because he’s expressed a desire for the KD III to be worn around the league and not just by him. Check out the gallery of Kevin Durant’s first ever game in the Nike Zoom KD III after the jump and rank, in order from 1 to 3, the three best players in the NBA right now! via ESPN.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI Christmas   New Photos

When photos of the Nike Zoom Kobe 6 ‘Christmas’ first surfaced, a few thoughts came to mind.  These are on the opposite side of the spectrum from the LeBron 8 V.2 ‘Christmas’, and unless the Heat can get their act together, these green-on-green ZK6s might end up looking like the Grinch to Bron and his Miami teammates.  Some have also speculated that as a follow up to last year’s Zoom Kobe V ‘Bruce Lee’, these can be seen as a tribute to Lee’s stint as Cato on ‘The Green Hornet’.  No matter which fictional character(s) they’re based on, Santa’s still real to us, and the proof is this amazing sneaker headed to retail.  Perhaps the most ‘natural’ reptilian look for the Zoom Kobe VI yet, these joints will likely touch down in stores some time around the big X-mas Day game, and you can already get one from a limited size run over at MarqueeSole.

Air Jordan 7 Retro Premio Bin 23 | Releasing @ West NYC

The Air Jordan V Bin 23 looks pretty amazing in all-black leather, but its release is a few months off, and we’ve got another super-premium AJ retro release right around the corner.  Don’t make the mistake of sleeping on the Air Jordan VII Premio pictured above; these joints are perhaps the most ‘AJVIII’ of all the Sevens, with the West African tribal art theme extending beyond the legendary shoe’s jagged construction and onto an unprecedented heel design.  These joints are crafted in the finest tumbled leather and the rastafied colorway is sure to inject some energy into these grey autumn days.  Have a look at some crisp new photos after the jump and get your plans in order, because these are dropping alongside a veritable torrent of heat on Black Friday at select Jordan Brand retailers like WestNYC or get yourself a pair early on eBay.

Air Jordan 2010 ‘Silver Anniversary’ – Laser Etched 3M | Unreleased Sample

When UNC, Cal and Georgetown rocked them along with special white/silver uniforms back in February, it looked like the Air Jordan 2010 ‘Silver Anniversary’ was something of a PE.  Luckily for Jordanheads, the 25th Anniversary edition of the 25th Air Jordan was released early this month, and here’s a look at a sample that probably would have sold out just as quickly.  These Silver Anniversary AJ2010s feature two design elements that tend to always make Jays look great: laser etching and reflective 3M material.  Quite a surprise how different these key distinctions make the samples appear when compared to the released version, so click below to find more photos from aaront and let us know which edition you favor.  And remember, you can still pick up the retail version on eBay.

Sony Playstation x Nike Training Move Pack

The Playstation 2 x Nike Air Force 1 was a seminal collaboration, a groundbreaking colorway that served as a harbinger of things to come in both the super-limited and teamup categories that have come to dominate the sneaker scene in recent years.  Sony and the Swoosh are back together, this time celebrating the PSX’s 15th anniversary by highlighting two of the PS3′s biggest releases: Killzone 3 and the new PS Move motion controller.  Sony Director of Product Publicity Ron Eagle got to work on the Nike Zoom Huarache TR ‘Move’ and SFB ‘Killzone’, each of which is jaw dropping in its own way.

The Huaraches go with a black base and electric blue accents along with a iridescent lenticular Swoosh on the heels, while the Killzone Special Forces Boots feature an eery eye on the lateral ankles with speckles and accent stitches to bring some depth to the nearly all-black design.  Have a closer look at both pairs after the jump and check out the amazing special package that’s designed to include a custom PS3, Move controller and camera and both pairs of kicks (apparently exclusive to select athletes and celebrities), plus another that’s just for the two shoes.  Will you be able to get your hands on either package?  Stick with Sneaker News for more details on a possible (and inevitably hard to get) retail release.  via SoleCollector

Supra Vaider ‘Cool Grey’ – CCS Exclusive

Supra is no stranger to Air Jordan-inspired designs and colorways, and with 2010 set to go down as the ‘Year of Cool Grey’, it’s no huge surprise that the Crown Brand is offering their own shiny, steely collection.  The Supra Vaider ‘Cool Grey’ is crafted in a tonal grey mix of nubuck, canvas and, you guessed it, patent leather for one of the more interesting non-Air Jordan XI releases in  ‘cool grey’ this season.  These are among the nicer Supra releases on record with that mix, plus an embroidered crown on the lateral ankles, along with matching hoodies and tees.  The entire collection will be exclusive to skateboarding outfitter CCS starting on Black Friday, and you can see more shots by clicking the jump below.
