bam — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:00:12 +0000

Some of you may remember a new House of Hoops opening up down in Houston. The Footlocker chain will be opening up another location in Mesquite, Texas; Town East Mall to be exact. Replacing the existing Footlocker, House of Hoops will have its grand opening today, Saturday the 21st. Debuting with a bang, the new HOH will have an array of heat on shelves, including a Hyperize “972″ PE. Sporting traditional Cowboys colors, the Town East Mall exclusive is a perfect pair for anyone with strong Dallas pride- especially now with a new shop of fresh selects. Along with the Dallas Hyperize, the new HOH also has in stock several other dope pairs, including the Ben Gordon Hyperize PE, Pau Gasol Hyperize PE, Rudy Gay and Deron Williams Sharkaliad PE’s, and the highly anticipated Eddie Cruz AF1 High.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII NFW – Red Carpet – Restock On The Way

Aaron Kr. — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:00:25 +0000

As warmly as most sneakerheads welcomed the Air Max LeBron VII, the biggest buzz surrounding the shoe was perhaps thanks to the Red Carpet NFW edition. People went crazy for this crisp color scheme and classy woven upper, only to find out that the actual release would be extremely limited in quantity. The Red Carpets hit only four stores last Thursday and were sold out before most people even knew they had dropped. Now we bring you the good news that we have not seen the last of these beauties in stores. There will in fact be a restock of the eagerly awaited kicks at select House of Hoops and Foot Locker locations, so if you missed them last week, you should have no excuse when they hit shelves on December 3rd.

Nike Auto Flight Hi – House of Hoops Exclusive – Safari – Black – Red

bam — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:00:41 +0000

It looks like Nike’s new design trend has moved on from making fusions to simply applying an autoclaved soles to some past basketball faves for a flipped lifestyles look. But designs like this Auto Flight seen here even further separate itself from its original Air Flight Hi form, at least compared to some other colorway choices we’ve already seen. We couldn’t see Scottie rocking these alongside MJ’s sig designs, could we? The essential Bulls colorway is garnished with patent leather ad a safari print along some of the paneling, mostly towards the back. The solid red found on the Swoosh, lining trim and sole make a good balance to the atypical athletic design. Though these are a HOH exclusive, you can come ‘em on the 19th from LTD-Online.

Nike Dynasty Hi – Georgetown Hoyas – House of Hoops Exclusive

bam — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:00:20 +0000

It’s almost certain that no matter how much time has elapsed or what direction the brand takes in the future, Nike will probably never let go of donning a few pairs every now and then with the Hoyas look. After all, it’s one of those things that helped Nike get where they are now. With the Dynasty Hi getting good feedback since its return, it’s no surprise that the slick profile gets the Georgetown treatment.

Obviously taking on the dark navy and grey look, the team scheme is updated with the current pattern found on the Hoyas jerseys, with further team identity found on the tongue. Athough the aesthetics are derived from athletic inspiration, the feel of these is definitely more formal and sophisticated. Another House of Hoops exclusive, these will be available on the 19th also at LTD Online.

Nike Auto Force 180 Mid

Jacob — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:30:50 +0000

Yet another house of hoops exclusive, we bring you the Nike Auto Force 180 Mid. These sneakers were most definitely inspired by the Nike Air Command Force, as were many other sneakers released in recent months. These Auto Forces’s come in a great new colorway with some nice retro design elements. The upper is predominantly white leather with accents of black and aqua, and no Auto Forces would be complete without the “force” strap over the midsection. Although the most shocking aspect of these Auto force 180’s come from the gradient midsole with a splatter effect on the heel. The contrast between the aqua and black is simply amazing. House of Hoops will be getting these soon, but if you need to pull the trigger on these now they are available through LTD.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) ‘Phantom’ – December ‘09

Aaron Hope — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:00:53 +0000

Last year’s ‘triple black’ Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) was dubbed ‘Batman’ because of its dark look coinciding with a wave of support for the modern classic The Dark Knight. It’s only natural to see the Air Max LeBron VII (7) in black especially considering King James himself pushes a dark-as-night Rolls Royce Phantom, just as natural to nickname these the ‘Phantoms’.

These drop the metallic gold accents we saw on an earlier preview in favor of a mix of metallic silver and a darker, pewter-like metal. Then again, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to see both hit retail shelves, especially considering the overwhealming similarities of the various City Pack releases. As for the joints above, they’re going to drop on Thursday, December 17th at Foot Locker and House of Hoops stores, so you’ll have just enough time to get em wrapped up and under the tree.
