It’s the busiest time of the year for shoppers, and it’s no different in the world of sneakers. Sneaker News unveiled the Sneaker News 2010 Readers Choice Poll, allowing your faithful readers a chance to chime in on their own sneaker opinions for 2010. The biggest release of 2010 finally went down on Thursday, but a few eyebrow-raising newsflashes kept us continually interested. Releasing two days after is the Nike Basketball Christmas Day Collection, which Sneaker News gave you full details on. Both the Concord XI and Black/Cement III were confirmed for a release in 2011 in addition to all other Jordan Brand 2011 releases like several colorways of the Jordan Prime 5 and the Air Jordan 2011. Sneaker News also conducted a one-on-one interview with Carmelo Anthony to find out more about the Jordan Melo M7.
Sneaker News also brought some nice viewings of new colorways of both the LeBron 8 V.2 and Zoom Kobe VI. Both shoes will be featured tomorrow during the Christmas Day NBA Games. Speaking of NBA Games, Gilbert Arenas made an astounding NBA Feet debut with his new team down in Florida, and in addition to all the other top-notch NBA Feet coverage, we gave you a look at a heat-filled NCAA match-up between Georgetown and Memphis. The celebrities also came out firing, with Tom Cruise wearing a sneaker with stature equal to that of Cruise’s fame. Other celebrity-related news included another look at Swizz Beats’ collaboration with Reebok and a peek into a small yet powerful subset of DJ Clark Kent’s sneaker collection. Nike SB got our attention with a new Nike SB Dunk book as well as a look at an upcoming colorway, and the Air Force 1, arguably the pacemaker for the sneaker game, finally hit Nike iD. The Air Jordan VII was the focus of the next installment of Michael Jordan Through The Years, which is available now. Sneaker News would like to wish all of our readers a very happy holiday, so cozy up to the fireplace, grab your laptop, and check out the latest Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.

Earlier today Sneaker News gave you a look at the sweet Nike Zoom Kobe VI display at the Nike Vault in the Staples Center. Nike Santa Monica is also gearing up for all the Kobe fun with a look at some finished samples of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI iD. These new images of the Kobe VI iD, courtesy of never wear them on NT, shed light on what your iD possibilities for the shoe will be. The Kobe V was one of the biggest hits on Nike iD, with NBA players going down that customizable route, and the Kobe VI should experience no lesser amount of success. Continue reading for a look at some finished samples as well as the Nike Zoom Kobe VI iD material swatch after the jump and let us know what ideas you may have for your Kobe VI iD.

Christmas is the holiday of giving, regardless of whether or not you follow the holiday for its religious origins or for the fun spirited atmosphere. And on Christmas Day, there’s no better gift to give (or get) than one of the three Christmas Day 2010 colorways of the three major Nike Basketball signature shoes. Sneaker News recently gave you a detailed look at all three pairs – the Nike LeBron 8 V.2, Nike Zoom Kobe VI, and Nike Zoom KD III – and starting midnight tonight, any one of the three pairs can be yours to keep. All three holiday-inspired colorways will be showcased on the feet of their respective owners on Christmas Day as well, as the Lakers and Heat will face off against each other while Durant’s Thunder will take on the Denver Nuggets elsewhere. While all three share the same Christmas spirit, the LeBron 8 V.2, Zoom Kobe VI, and Zoom KD III could not be more different, so continue reading for another look and let us know which of the three colorways you’re looking forward to most.

Just last week Sneaker News gave you a Live, first-hand look at the official unveiling of the Jordan CP3.IV during the Jordan Brand media summit in New Orleans, Louisiana. The CP3.IV features the lowest cut ever on the Chris Paul signature shoe, and combined with the breathable upper and Cushlon midsole, the IV may be the best one yet, and with a healthy Chris Paul leading the charge this season, the New Orleans Hornets should be a familiar name come playoff time. The CP3.IV is set for an official release next month but you can grab this New Orleans Hornets ‘Away’ colorway of Black, Varsity Purple, Orion Blue, and Sunstone now from id4shoes on eBay.

Just because there’s a lowtop V.5 version on the way for spring doesn’t mean we won’t see more new Jordan V.2 Grown colorups. In fact, here’s visual proof to the contrary, a new two-toned model that’s almost a surefire hit with the ladies and a definite statement for fashion forward dudes. They combine a black tumbled nubuck upper with Bright Violet on the sole and laces for a blacklit look that’ll add some energy to the spring collection. Click on the jump below to see a bunch of other photos and stick with Sneaker News for word on a US release date. via Dunk

Kobe Bryant is credited for making the low-cut basketball shoe popular, but he certainly isn’t the first to go low with his kicks. In the 2000′s, guys like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Gilbert Arenas all sported low-cut kicks, a basketball shoe construction that was once considered a faux-pas due to its lack of ankle support. Steve Nash has done just fine since, and although the Zoom Speed Low II (sequel to the Zoom Speed Low) isnt Steve’s shoe (it’s the Zoom Go Low), it’s something you’d expect him to wear. The upper features a faux-reptilian print on the heel and lace placket, with Zoom cushioning and a herringbone traction. Take another look after the jump and expect these to hit in Spring 2011. via taobao.

The holiday shopping season is winding to a close but winter just started this Tuesday. With months of nasty weather still ahead of us, it’s a particularly nice suprise that Santa has left this totally unhyped Nike Air Force 1 High from the apparently still-growing Tec Tuff Pack. These joints are crafted in the same rugged abrasion-resistant leather as the other Tec Tuff AF1s, and this pair literally picks up where the black joints left off, going those extra few inches to insure your entire foot stays warm and dry. Click on the jump below to get a better look and lock your AF1 High Tec Tuff Pack today from 95soleman on eBay.

The Nike Zoom Flight V (now the ‘Uptempo V’) released in the mid-90′s with the big-’ol jewel on the midfoot, offering some level a stability and a whole lot of visual appeal. The turf-shoe like bumpy traction also gave the Zoom Flight Uptempo V reminds you of Barry Sanders’ Zoom Turf, but these were intended for hardwood use instead of the open grass field. The Zoom Uptempo V returned again in recent years in a number of colorways – a similarly color-blocked white and orange blaze and a far more eccentric metallic silver pair, and now this all-new white/red pair is ready for you to cop. The Uptempo V is a popular shoe in Asia, which is why they’re available now at washinsp, so check out the extra shots after the jump and we’ll let you know when/if these hit the states.

Thank the sneaker gods for retro releases because without them, the only you’d be able to enjoy your favorite classics would be through some outdated archive. Not only do Retro releases allow you to re-live your childhood days, you get to experience your favorite sneakers in wild new colorways, like this all-new Air Pegasus ’89 in a great new combination of grey tones and yellow, pink, and blue. The upper features two different tones of grey while the two-piece midsole features a citrus-y yellow at the forefoot and a salmon pink on the rear, with a light blue lining around the tongue. Titolo just got these in so take another look after the jump and head there to get back on the Retro wagon!

We saw a Dunk High previewed as part of the ‘Be True To Your Street’ collection a couple weeks ago that has pretty much identical colorblocking to this new pair. Both are all red with a gum sole and black lining, but the High is crafted in suede and leather whereas this new pair of Nike Dunk Lows goes for a material you don’t see too terribly often. You might see the light ribbing and think, “Oh, that’s denim, right?” But it’s not denim at all, rather a cotton fleece that takes suede’s place as the ‘soft’ material on this design. The heathered fleece sections make the tumbled leather overlay seem super vivid and white laces practically have these begging to be released in time for Valentines Day. A release date has yet to be announced but you can see a bunch more photos by clicking on the jump below. via Dunk
