The Supra Society pictured above is a brand new combination of colors and materials, but we wouldn’t blame you for thinking it looks familiar. More countries in the world use the red, white and blue trio than any other color combination, a third of the teams set to begin spring training for Major League Baseball share the same colors and we’re currently in the leap-month of an Olympic year where the host and the Games’ historically dominant nation both rock this familiar look. How skateboarding has yet to earn a spot as an Olympic sport is mindboggling given the inclusion of events like ballroom dancing, rhythmic gymasics and snowboarding, but this almost USAB-style ‘Midnight’ Society gives you that five-rings look until the IOC recognizes what’s likely the most significant new sport to emerge in the past half-century. Let us know how these compare to the litany of similarly colored kicks we’ve seen over the years, and grab your ‘Midnight’ Society straight from Supra.

Nike’s motto for 2012′s Black History Month is ‘Uplift’ – a strong message highlighted by its brevity and stoicism. The signature graphic print and distinct colors seen on these four Nike Sportswear releases was developed by Nike designers, inspired by the International African culture and drawing visual cues from Kenyan beads, African-American quilt-making, and even the Brazilian Carnivale, and the entire capsule itself is a gesture of celebration of the achievements of three significant teams – the ’96 USA Womens Basketball team, the ’02 Brazil Mens Soccer team, and the ’08 Kenyan Long-Distance Running team. The NSW Black History Month collection will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers; however, the release of the Air Max 1 has been postponed to a future date. Keep in mind that only the Air Force 1, Blazer, and Huarache Free 2012 will be available tomorrow!

2012 marks the 23rd Anniversary for the Air Jordan IV, so a special release for one particular sector of Jordan fanatics had to be made! This Girls-only colorway of the Air Jordan IV hits stores tomorrow, featuring a tonal Voltage Cherry upper with Black accents on the lacewings and outsole. The guys certainly had their eyes glued to them when 106 & Park host Rocsi salsa-danced in them in a friendly battle against Superbowl Champ Victor Cruz, and the ladies got clear confirmation that these are in fact a must-have sneaker. Tomorrow will be a monster day of releases and the Voltage Cherry IVs are one reason why that is, so be sure to cop these at Jordan Brand retailers like Moe’s Sneaker Spot or cop a pair right now on eBay.

Earlier today we showed you a sick pair of customs sneakers done by Mache Customs – the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP ‘Galaxy’. Those were indeed on another level, but flying at the same altitude is this sick colorway of the Zoom Rookie that will hit stores tomorrow. First viewings of the ‘Dynamic Blue’ Zoom Rookie resulted in some positive remarks from our readers, and with the Zoom Rookie established as one of the best new releases put out by Nike, the Dynamic Blues will certainly be a big ticket item during tomorrow’s massive set of releases. Check out these new angles after the jump and don’t forget to cop ‘em tomorrow at select Nike Sportswear retailers or from sneakerpost on eBay.

Tomorrow marks one of the biggest sneaker release days of the year, with a handful of must-have releases hitting stores and causing indecision in the minds of sneakerheads. One of frontrunners of these releases is the Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’, which features a white upper in tumbled and patent leather, an Old Royal blue detailing and Stealth Grey hints on the outsole and lace-straps. Another interesting note about these Air Jordan Retros is that Jordan Brand currently has them listed at $150, a price-point on Retros that we haven’t seen in quite some time. You can count on Moe’s Sneaker Spot on have these in stock, so be sure to check with them and at other Jordan Brand retailers, or cop a pair now on eBay.

Black History Month celebrates those individuals who have instilled significant marks in the culture and history of African-Americans, and through sport, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant have established themselves as examples of greatness, supremacy, persistent hard work, and success. Through the Nike Basketball Black History Month Pack, Nike pays homage to these three individuals and other important figures of Black History by releasing the three signature shoes in special colorways. Each pair features a Midnight Fog and Black base, adorned with an African quilt pattern that evokes tradition and history. You can catch all three pairs at select Nike Basketball retailers tomorrow, so let us know which of the three you like best and check out what’s available now on eBay.

Jordan Brand rarely taps an outside source to design a shoe, but when it does, it shouldn’t be surprising that they went to such great heights and brought in one of most talented artists/sneakerheads today. Dave White’s brush strokes are more easily recognizable on canvases, but when we first saw the Dave White x Air Jordan 1 that released in February of 2011, the instant connection was made. Of course, just 23 of those pairs went out to the public via auction, but a year later, Jordan Brand will release another Dave White-designed Air Jordan 1 to a larger audience. In addition to tomorrow’s release, the Dave White x Air Jordan 1 will also release on February 24th, and proceeds from the Air Jordan 1 Dave White will go toward benefiting the Jordan Brand WINGS For The Future program. We’re kicking off tomorrow’s groundbreaking release day by giving you a heads up on these first, so check out the new images below and cop one of the available pairs like this one from sheldon767 on eBay.

Sneaker News just brought you images of a new ZX 8000 design from adidas Originals that utilized a couple shifts in the most basic color shades to give the shoe a unique finished look. Good news for anyone who found that style appealing, as today we have a look at a new drop from another brand that utilizes a similar style (which one’s better?). The Asics Gel-Lyte Speed comes through in a white base accented by what looks like from a distance the three primary colors of pigment, though a closer look reveals the ‘red’ to be done in a lycopene-y shade closer to orange that’s earned this model a ‘Tomato’ nickname. Check them out from a variety of other angles after the jump and find yours at select retailers like Hanon.

The old addage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” clearly applies to ongoing releases of beloved classic sneaker designs, and also in the case of an impeccable palette or blocking pattern. You’ve got a bunch of both with the new Nike Air Max 95 pictured above, a model that perhaps more than any other in history is singularly associated with one particular range of shades. And while this new drop doesn’t go for the OG ‘grey-dient’, they do manage to get a familiar neon punch on the tongue, laces and Air bubbles of this otherwise black ensemble. This is a pattern we saw on last month’s Obsidian and Action Red release, the recent WMNS joints in black and Siren Red, and one more coming up in March dipped in Stealth with Neptune Blue hits. With so much to choose from, will this pair be the one you choose to buy? If so, cop a pair now from Nikestore or footsoldier on eBay.

Sneaker News has been filled with information on the upcoming 2012 NBA All-Star sneakers, but did you know that the annual ASG standouts represent a relatively recent phenomenon? Even as recently as two decades ago, we only had a tiny fraction of the amount of energy and attention put into today’s All-Star Game shoes; why do you think a simple all-red sneaker from 1995 has us talking about Scottie Pippen so much each February? It was during that second MJ-less ASG that Pip broke out the infamous red Air Flight Maestro, a model whose essence has been distilled and enhanced with a Max Air cushion in the heel to create the Nike Flight Maestro Plus. This latest drop isn’t an All-Star tribute or even a direct link to Pippen’s NBA career, but rather a trendy take on tumbled nubuck that adds bright blue and green accents to a simple grey/black/white base. You’ll find these at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Oneness today, but with all the All-Star heat arriving in the next couple weeks, how will you choose which pairs you want most?
