Of the colors we typically associate with the Air Jordan Legacy, University Blue isn’t the closest match to Dark Neon Royal. But the UNC shade’s role as fundamental to Michael Jordan’s career is similar to the latter’s status as first ever Foamposite, so it was only natural to see a Foamposite-like Air Jordan redux come along in this colorway. The Air Jordan 1 Anodized looks great with Carolina blue ‘armor’ and the black accents make for a cooler-than-cool look that’s perfect for the winter months. The shape of a legendary basketball sneaker cast in the material of another, the latest AJ1 Anodized is available now from StepToRun on eBay.

The Nike Air Attack Pack of 2010 featured a barrage of sick new colorways on a wide collection of Air-cushioned Nike silhouettes. Of course the Air Max 90 would be included, as it is regarded by some as the greatest Air Max design in history. One of the five colorways that released as part of that pack was a black/grey pair that gave off a faux-denim look – and this upcoming Spring 2011 Air Max 90 release achieves the same. The upper is fashioned with a canvas-like material but the difference between this version and the Air Attack rendition is the red trim on the Air Max badge on the upper as well as on the Air Unit, and a black outsole instead of the crisp white. You can expect this second go-around of faux-denim in Spring 2011, so take an extra look after the jump and let us know what you think.

Is the Bedford Vans’ favorite model from their recently launched OTW Collection? You’d be up against a tough task getting hard data for that one but the Vans Bedford remains the first and only OTW drop to see a collaborative release. And like the In4mation collabo, one of the new Bedfords for spring 2011 features a simple two-toned upper. The other three have more of a ‘pack’-like feel to them thanks to each pair adding woven nylon beneath a largely monochromatic suede upper. Check out black, gold and navy pairs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Vans OTW sneakers. via FnG.

“Boing!” Haven’t heard that sound too much around the NBA lately, as long time Nike Shox endorsee Vince Carter has been ballin’ most recently in the Air Max Hyperdunk 2010. NBA Stars like Carter, Brad Miller, Al Jefferson and Tayshaun Prince have all been spotted in Nike Shox basketball sneakers and we might again see that number rise to mid-’00s levels with the introduction of this new cutting edge design. The Nike Air Shox Hyperballer combines Hyperfuse lightweight upper technology with Air-filled Shox cushioning for a total package that’s sure to attract its fair share of high flyers. We have eight colorways to show you here today, so click on the jump below and let us know which of the fall 2011 Nike Air Shox Hyperballers is your favorite. via CK

2010 NBA Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans is finding it difficult to help the Sacramento Kings return to their playoff form of a decade ago. Paired with fellow coached-by-Cal-for-one-year guy DeMarcus Cousins has yet to pay off in wins but the Kings have a solid foundation to build around and Evans himself has a firm base, whether home or away. These Nike Hyperdunk 2010 PEs are crafted for games outside the Arco Arena and feature the ‘REKE HAVOC 13′ tongue insignia to finish off the purple/white-on-black look. The closest location to SacTown is Daly City and there are now a total of 22 House of Hoops locations around the country where you can cop these.

“Rafa is one of the most dynamic athletes out there.”
He may not have as many Grand Slam titles as rival Roger Federer (yet), but Rafael Nadal is still easily one of tennis’ all time greats. If the last several brilliant years are any indication, Rafa will be in the Australian Open finals wearing the LunarLon-equipped upgrade to his latest signature sneaker, the Nike Air Max Courtballistec 3.3. Nadal beat Federer there in 2009 and both guys will have the added advantage of Nike’s superior tennis kits. Click below to see a video with above-quoted designer Alex Chen discussing the Air Max Court Ballistec 3.3 and Rafa’s Aussie Open gear. via EUKicks

Top pro skaters have had sponsorships with multiple brands since the mid ’80s, so it’s little surprise that the current wave of sneakerhead culture was spearheaded by collaborations with brands like Nike SB. Here’s a case where you’ve got almost everything you need to slide and grind all in one package, the SK8Mafia x és Square Two for mutual repper Kellen James. Everything on these joints is burgundy with gold accents, from the suede lowtops to the box they come in, matching tee or creepy half-robed ‘Dia de los Muertos virgin Mary’ appearing on the double-branded Sk8mafia deck. Click below for closeups of each piece and look for these at select éS retailers.

Sneaker News has taken you as far into the future as the fall 2010 Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski colorways, but what about the ones set to release sooner? Here are two of what we expect to be three new Zoom Stefan Janoski colorways from the Nike SB Spring 2011 collection, both of which offer their own take on ‘light and airy’. First up is a white pair whose gum sole brings about a classic springtime look, while a Pacific Blue pair’s black piping makes it seem even brighter. Is Nike SB’s deck shoe inspired Stefan Janoski signature improving with age? Click below to get a better view and let us know if you plan to pick these up early next year. via N-SB.

It was another massive week of Sneaker News as we begin to wind down on 2010. The hot topic of the week was the Air Jordan 2011; while images have been removed, the discussion was on rapid-fire pace as curious sneakerheads debated the design of the next shoe. Sneaker News also gave you a look at two upcoming sample colorways of Foamposite, which means the Foam-movement won’t be stopping anything soon. Also popping up this week were new colorways of both the LeBron 8 V2, Kobe VI, and Kobe VI iD options, Nike Basketball PEs, and upcoming Nike Basketball releases. Sneaker News also brought you live coverage of the Jordan CP3.IV Launch Event as well as the Nike Football Media Summit.
In other news, Sneaker News put the spotlight on a wedding with unique formal wear (hint: Jordans) in addition to usual PEs and Samples we show you. Gilbert Arenas and J.R. Smith led the charge in NBA Feet by wearing some great Air Jordans, while Ciara showed off her sneaker goodies during her album launch party in Hollywood. Another special Air Force 1 release is headed our way as a result of yet another collaboration with Medicom Toy. Rounding out the top stories of the week was Stash’s latest sneaker collaboration, a HoH-exclusive Air PR1 inspired by the original, and a detailed look at the upcoming Air Max Penny 1 in a ‘Suns’ colorway. And finally, Sneaker News launched the sixth installment of Michael Jordan Through The Years, focusing on the Air Jordan VI and Michael’s first championship. There’s a ton of hot topics floating around so check out the best of the best by reading through this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.

According to the man himself, “My government name is Duane, my nickname is dsicle, I’m half Japanese, and I’m a graphic designer living in Dallas, Texas.” Dsicle recently headed up north to NYC where he found out first hand just how engrossing the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke experience can be. And this wasn’t just any Bespoke; Dsicle had help from perhaps the two most notable AF1-heads in the country, Mayor and DJ Clark Kent on hand to help out with refining the final product. These joints came out super classy with ‘Edgy Veggie’ basetball glove leather ont he toe and eyelets giving way to waterproof wool on the rear plus some rubberized Nappa leather on the Swoosh and heeltabs. It’s one of the nicest Bespoke AF1s we’ve seen and the photos are just sick so click through to see more and let us know how these rank against the other Bespokes we’ve shown you here on Sneaker News.
