Nike Zoom Supreme Court Low Vintage   Beige + Navy

Sneaker News has shown you three different previews of the Nike Zoom Supreme Court Low, each featuring three unicolor suede pairs with white midsole and heel stripe.  Those already dropped in Japan and we expected them to make a run at select Nike Sportswear shops here in the States, but their absence has us wondering if the above pictured pairs will make it to 21 Mercer et al.  Check out these two new Zoom Supreme Court Low Vintage colorways, one in navy and one in beige and both with pre-yellowed midsoles.  These joints feature the same terry cloth lining as the aforementioned trio and we hope they’ll hit US retailers soon, so click through for more shots and stick with Sneaker News for word on their possible release date.  via mita sneakers

Nike Air Max 90   White   Bright Mandarin   Black | Available

On the first of March, Sneaker News previewed two upcoming colorways of the Nike Air Max 90 that drew resemblance to two National League teams. Here’s another look at the White, Bright Mandarin, and Black colorway of the Ninety that looks something like a New York Mets Alternate jersey colorway. The upper features a mix of black, orange, and blue with white mesh toes and ankle-collars. The upper thermoplastic constructs also feature alternate color-blocking – something not seen very often (but is actually now a Nike iD option!). Titolo in Switzerland has these available now so take another look below and don’t miss out!

Air Jordan II   White   Red | Original Pair on eBay

Jordan Geller, the man behind the astounding ShoeZeum, stated that many of his rare gems were acquired through eBay. You simply can’t find Nike artifacts like these in stores, so eBay was a great way for Geller to acquire the shoes that he wanted to fill his ShoeZeum shelves with. Here’s a look at another vintage pair of Nike/Jordan heat – an original pair of the Air Jordan II in White/Red. These are obviously not wearable at any level, and the white midsoles have thoroughly yellowed, but these would make a perfect addition to anyone looking to start their own ShoeZeum set-up (although replicating Jordan Geller’s collection might be tough to do). Jordan Brand actually retroed this colorway of the Air Jordan II as part of the Air Jordan II/XX1 Collezione Package that released in April of 2008. Check out the detailed images of this rare find after the jump, and if you have the urge to add these to your collection, check out the auction from b.!.z on eBay.

Collections: Ian671107   Reebok Insta Pump Fury

There’s no doubt that the sneaker game varies by region, and while the U.S. can barely get a release or attention of any kind, the Reebok Insta Pump Fury still holds incredible weight overseas. Sneaker News gives you updates on Reebok Insta Pump Fury releases and collaborations, but it’s clear that the energy surrounding the Fury isn’t strong enough to warrant a wide state-side release, although you can customize your own pair on YourReebok and its impressive color palette and materials. Here’s a look at a great collection of the Reebok Insta Pump Fury, owned by Ian6771107 on Kenlu; some of you probably have never seen this many in one fell swoop, but it’s clear that there is a fury for Furys across the ocean, given by this concentrated collection of Reebok’s most innovative running sneaker of the 90′s. Check out extra images below and let us know if you’d like to see more Insta Pump Fury releases in the states!

Sneaker News gave you a preview look at the adidas adiZero Rose 2.0, Derrick Rose’s second signature shoe with adidas Basketball. Here’s an in-depth look at five upcoming colorways as well some new details of this shoe; first off the outsole design features a unique construction in which the flex point is encircled by rings for traction, with a gritty traction design that begins on the lateral side and tails off toward the medial heel. The five colorways are: a tonal black, white/silver with a translucent sole, a black upper with white outsole, a black/red/green version with a wood-grain texture, and a new grey/blue/yellow with a funky texture on the toe-box. The adiZero Rose 2.0 weighs in a 12.4 ounces and is built on SprintFrame technology with ample ventilation on the upper for when Derrick Rose mercilessly posterizes a defender. Check out all five colorways below and let us know which you like best, and stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding Rose’s budding sig-shoe legacy.

Star Wars x adidas Originals Gazelle 2 Boba Fett

The latest Star Wars x adidas Originals sneaker is a model that offers a statement on the timeless quality of beloved designs.  This new adidas Originals Gazelle 2 is done in black suede with rastafied accents, but the real draw here is seeing the bounty hunter Boba Fett rocking a huge ghetto blaster.  So this model first sold in 1968 features a character who debuted in 1980s’s The Empire Strikes Back while holding a boombox most prominently seen in the decade following that film’s release.  Pretty crazy combination, even for 2011, but the timing is just right and they’re available now from Three Stripes accounts like SNS.

Converse Jack Purcell Grace Mid   Spring 2011

The Converse Jack Purcell is a simple if graceful classic, but this is the first pack to come right out and say as much in their name.  These new Jack Purcell Grace Mids are notable for their use of a two-toned sole that extends the Purcell’s signature black-striped toe to the end of that cap, plus an exaggerated foxing band around the entire shoe.  These woven cotton Jack Purcells also feature CoolMax material on the insoles to achieve maximum breathability during the warm months and you can see close-ups of purple and black pairs when you click on the jump below.  Let us know which one you prefer and look for these at select US One Star retailers soon.  via mita sneakers.

It’s these type of no-frills, basic designs that sneak up on you and end up being a top-shelf performance shoe, so hit up Eastbay for these because theyre priced under $90!
