Wearing Supras usually helps you stand out, and while that’s absolutely the case for this latest collection, you also can’t deny they look a little like dazzle camouflage. The Supra Black & White Pack isn’t ‘inspired’ by the legendary god-sim, but rather a description of how these geometrically patterned skate kicks are colored. Like a wild Pendleton shirt without any semblance of pigment, the Black & White Cuttler, Assault and Skytop II will bring their old-school western movie look to retail early next year and you can get a better look at the pack when you click below. via SF

Ironically, the Complex formula of getting our attention has been rather ‘simple’. The urban culture magazine has been pumping out Top-10/30/50 lists from today’s most notable sneakerheads and celebrities with a strong focus on sneakers and the sub-culture, but now it’s Complex’s turn to let its voice be heard. Their choice for the best shoe of 2010? It seems that they’ve co-signed Sneaker News’ number-one selection of 2010, because they too selected the Parra x Patta x Nike Air Max 1 as the number one sneaker for 2010. In what is usually a tough decision, it sure did seem like a no-brainer to DJ Clark Kent, Jesse Villanueva of ALIFE, Mayor of the ATF Crew, Ronnie Fieg, and Complex’s own Joe La Puma, the five sneaker-heavyweights who agreed on the selection. The shoe that was easy to hate became an over-night legend as a result of the unmistakable beauty of the Air Max 1, the sublime touch of Dutch artist Parra, and the dependable insight of Patta, not to mention the incredible scarcity that made them the most sought-after shoe of the year. Check out the video below to hear it straight from the five that finalized this executive decision.

One pair that popped up early at Nike Harajuku had us thinking the Nike ACG Air Abizaro might be getting its fair share of 2010 releases, but it’s been more or less silent since last March. Maybe that’s cos the good folks at All Conditions Gear were working on a sequel, cos here’s the new Nike ACG Air Abaziro 2.0. These joints are pretty similar to last year’s model with the high-performing TrailFrame-equipped sole left basically unchanged. The most significant difference is in the way the 2.0′s side panels are done in a single section rather than the OG Abaziro’s underlay/overlay look. Check out some more shots of this black/royal/yellow pair after the jump and look for these at select Nike Sportswear accounts like BX Sports.

In 2010, Jordan Brand re-released the Jumpman Pro Strong – a highly popular Team Jordan model of the late 90′s worn by Vin Baker during his prime. Returning again in an alternative design is the Jordan Team 1, renamed the Jordan Hardcourt Classic 1; the Team 1 was designed for non-NBA squads in college and high-school, but recently Ray Allen and Quentin Richardson debuted this redone retro during the Celtics/Magic Christmas Day game. It features visible Max Air on the heel and forefoot with a mix of materials like nubuck and synthetic leather. The sample we showed you earlier this week features the same colorway, but it appears that the released version features a white sectional on the medial toe. Sneakerhead has them available now so take a look after the jump and let us know what you think.

Recently Sneaker News gave you a look at an amazing vintage sneaker auction that contained not one, but two pairs of the original Nike Air Pressure in deadstock condition. These pairs are tough to come by, and a re-issue isn’t very likely (Nike’s got a whole bunch of other plans in store for us), but we weren’t left completely hanging. The Nike Air PR1 is inspired by the Air Pressure and this House of Hoops Exclusive colorway paid tribute to the OG colorway, combining white, black, grey, and red in all the right places. Now given the Air Jordan III-style midsole and retro-inspired Nike Air on the heel, can you feel the pressure mounting on you to cop a pair? Osneaker just got in a size run so head there to get yours, but you can also snag one on eBay.

Earlier today Sneaker News gave you the lowdown on some upcoming colorways of the LeBron 8 V.2. Here’s some more welcome information for those who pledge their allegiance to the Black Mamba; five colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI will drop in the Spring 2011 Season, starting with the ‘Home’ White/Black-Concord colorway this coming Wednesday.

In February, the Black/White-Varsity Red will release, followed by the ‘Duke’ colorway in March.

Well, it’s about time, isn’t it? The original Nike Air Trainer 1 took a gracious back seat to allow room for all the 2010 Nike Trainer designs to make themselves known, but we’re certain there are a select few just dying for more Air Trainer 1 colorways. Just in time for the 2010 cut-off are these two new colorways of the Air Trainer 1 – one in Black, Hot Lime, and Grey, and another in White, Grey, and Blue. The black colorway features a mesh toe and ankle collar while the white features perforations on the leather toe box. For state-side Trainer fans, it’s going to be a bit tough to get due to the dreaded Euro-exclusivity, but if you’re willing to pay the extra shipping costs, pick up either pair now from asphaltgold.

‘Welcome to Miami’ was the message sent by the LeBron 8 South Beach, but now that LeBron has fully embraced his nook down in Florida, it’s time to move on to bigger and better things, like the LeBron 8 V.2. Not many V.1 colorway were released because it looks like the focus will be on Version 2 as seen by these five upcoming colorways for the Spring 2011 season. Following the release of the Christmas Day LeBron 8 V.2, the White/Sport Red-Black colorway will follow in January, the ‘Cool Grey’ in February, and three others in March (two of which were the focus of sneak peeks by DJ Clark Kent). Continue reading for full release information for these five new colorways, and VOTE for which pair you’re looking forward to the most. via NT.
