The Nike SB Blazer Low is a model that too often gets overshadowed by its big brother, the Nike SB Blazer High. Sure the high version may be the OG cut of the shoe, but you’re sleeping if you’re turning a blind eye to the solid, toned down releases of the Nike SB Blazer Low that we’ve seen this year. Along those lines comes another quiet colorway that is perfect to rock in the fall, with a rich team brown suede on the upper paired with birch on the swoosh. Get the full look after the jump and head over to Premier to get your pair.

In 1995, Nike released a special ‘City Series’ of the Air Jordan X, representing Chicago, New York, Sacramento, Seattle, and Orlando in five city-specific colorways (the Powder Blue, while resembling the Charlotte Hornets, is not an official part of the pack). While the release of each special colorway wasn’t limited to each respective city (some sneaker retailers at that time received all give colorways), the Air Jordan X ‘City Series’ proved to be one of earlier ‘limited’ releases of Air Jordans, which is why the upcoming ‘Chicago’ Retro in 2012 is so highly anticipated. Again, one such member of this pack was Seattle, which featured a basic White/Black colorway with green accents on the inner lining and the detailing with a yellow Jumpman on the heel of the outsole. Any member of the City Series demands a lot of attention and even more dollars, but we consider the asking price for these deadstock gems to be rather fair! Interesting the price? Check out the auction from Tokyo-based seller gustodaninja on eBay.

ATL-based hip-hop artist T.I. was the guest of honor at a special event in Los Angeles, hosted by the AKOO clothing label and Ciroc. T.I. arrived at the event representing his Southern city pride, rocking an Atlanta Braves fitted cap, closely matching it with a crisp pair of the Air Jordan III Retro in the White/Cement Grey colorway. If you’re a child of the 2000′s hip-hop, chances are you know one of his club hits by heart, but rest assured that he’s still on his game because he was nominated for not one, but two Grammy awards last year. What’s in store for T.I. now that he’s back on the grind? More music? More films? Check out T.I. and his kicks below and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet updates!

Can you believe that Kobe Bryant would now be entering his sixteenth NBA season? What’s even more incredible is that he’s still an elite player, with some experts making the case that the Black Mamba should be in the Top 5 of the controversial ESPN #NBArank list (he was placed at #7, behind LeBron, Howard, Wade, Nowitzki, Durant, and CP3). The hard truth is that Kobe’s elite status is beyond its peak, but don’t think for a bit that teams wouldn’t build around the 33-year-old five-time NBA champion. For his seventh signature shoe, Nike Basketball will introduce something completely new for the Nike Zoom Kobe line – three separate installements! We detailed the base Kobe VII earlier today, but here’s a detailed look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme; it features the removable insole with a ‘Play Strong’ support, which features an attached ankle sleeve, giving the Kobe VII Supreme a tongue-less construction. The Kobe VII Supreme retails at $180, higher than the Nike LeBron 9; does that make the Supreme the best that Nike Basketball has to offer? A detailed viewing of the upcoming Kobe VII awaits you below, so give it a good look and let us know your thoughts below. via hoopchina.

The biggest oddball topic of the 2010-11 NBA Season was easily the story of Gilbert Arenas and his sneaker endeavor. Roughly wearing a new pair of kicks for each game, Gilbert Arenas stayed at the top of the Sneaker News NBA Feet wire for debuting some notable kicks throughout the season – the D&G high-tops, the Air Foamposite One ‘Royal’, the Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’, and more. One notable NBA Feet moment was when he wore the Reebok Question Mid in a Blue/White colorway when he was with Orlando; as we all know, Gilbert Arenas is a free agent in the sneaker market, so these Question Mid PEs could’ve been presented to him directly from Reebok to Gil when he was a Wizard, or might’ve been a gift from former teammate John Wall, who wears the same size as ‘ol Gil. We’ve got extra shots of this autographed PE of the Reebok Question Mid below, so take a look and let us know what you think. via phase2x.

The legend of Penny Hardaway has never been more celebrated than it has this year. With countless Foamposite One/Pro releases already occurring throughout the year, Nike Sportswear will finally introduce to the public the Nike Zoom Rookie – the second Penny-centric hybrid model combining his Rookie Year kicks. One part Air Flight One, another part Air Go LWP, and a healthy dash of Foamposite will result in this finely tuned hybrid design, but before the customary Blue colorway hits, the Glow In The Dark colorway will be first to roll out the Zoom Rookie carpet. You can be among the first to grab these limited releases tomorrow at select Nike Sportswear retailers like 21 Mercer, Extra Butter, WEST NYC, and Moe’s among others, with a few more spots set to release the GITD Rookie this weekend. If you prefer to shop in the luxury and convenience of your Ikea swivel chair, you can get a pair right now on eBay.

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 is slowly becoming like the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ of sneakers. Is the shoe a myth? Unless you know the guy personally, you’ve probably only seen pictures of Air Yeezy 2 on Kanye’s feet when he’s out and about the city, but in a trailer of the ‘Watch The Throne’ Tour, we see the Air Yeezy 2 on the feet of Kanye while he’s coasting around on a skateboard. This latest viewing doesn’t exactly reveal any new developments, although it does shed some light on the interesting materials used for the upper on the Air Yeezy 2. Glow in the dark, perhaps? Check out the video stills of the Air Yeezy 2 and let us know what you think, and head to VOYR to check out the video for yourself.

Just yesterday Sneaker News showed you a Royal/Volt/White ‘Sprite’-ish colorway of the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury. If you’d rather not obey your thirst for super-bright colorways, here’s a look at two upcoming Fury colorways that are both Mariners-specific and easier on the eyes; the Teal/Black colorway boldly represents Griffey Jr.’s beginning in the Pacific Northwest by ‘retro’-ing the OG colorways of the Diamond Fury, and the second Black/Silver/Neon green is simply a classic colorway that experiences a welcome nod from sneakerheads of all types. Aside from the ‘wow’ factor that most Griffeys tend to possess, the Air Max Griffey Fury is as comfortable as it is ‘rockable’, as it supported by 360-degree Max Air. More images of both colorways await you below, so take a good look and let us know what you think. via kumastock.

Good news folks: The Nike Air Force 1 is returning to Nike iD this November 1st. If it’s going to be anything like the previous Nike Air Force 1 iD releases, expect them to limited to some degree with a first-come-first-serve basis. This teaser image, provided by Nike iD, suggests that maybe some new materials are on the way – possibly a luxurious wool for the fitting winter season. Got some ideas on hand, or missed out on previous Air Force 1 iD offerings? Don’t fret, because it’s returning next Tuesday!

After a few luxury-oriented releases floundered in Jordan Brands earlier years, they finally perfected the winter boot equation by ruggedizing some of the brand’s more popular hybrids. Winterized Spizikes and Six Rings have the Jumpman riding quite a bit of momentum into this cold weather season when they’re being joined by a couple of new Max Air-cushioned designs. The Flight 45 TRK is an obvious takeoff on the lifestyle sneaker that carries a similar name, but the Jordan City Air Max TRK is unique for its apparent lack of connection to anything that’s come before it. An Air Max 97-style cushion will bring about some CMFT comparisons, but none of those can rival the sheer earthiness offered by grey/yellow, brown/orange and blackout colorways, all of which are currently available at select JB retailers like Citysole.

It’s hard to know exactly how long twenty-three year-old Detroit rapper Big Sean has been watching the throne, but just the name of his debut record should give some indication that dude feels like his time to shine is overdue. Following up on Finally Famous is the DJ Mo Beatz x Big Sean x adidas Originals Finally Originals mixtape, featuring remixes from . . . Famous by a variety of up and coming producers. We’d just seen Sean’s leopard print Superstar shelltoes last week, and the promo video for this new selection of songs shows that there’s a snakeskin adidas Originals Superstar High on the way as well. Click through for a sampling of both the tunes and the shoes and stick with Sneaker News for updates on all the upcoming Big Sean x adidas Originals projects.

Soulja Boy is one of the names that can be used to describe the current generation of hip-hop. He rose to fame during an era of music where catchy lines and claims of ‘balling’ are what constitutes the big hits, and his internet tune became a major success and reached the apex of the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Four years later, Soulja Boy has more than an internet hit to jot down on his resume – in fact, his list of accomplishments and endeavors might be more impressive than artists groomed and bred by record labels. It’s a fact that Soulja Boy is a self-made millionaire, shrewdly putting the use contemporary modes of communication (uh, the internet), and he’s using that sweet money to buy himself some sick kicks, like the Nike Mag 2011 that he just recently ‘laced’ up on his feet. Check out more of Soulja Boy and the Nike Mag 2011 and let us know what you think of his kicks!
