Air Jordan 7 "Raptors"

As an early post on here regarding the upcoming Raptors release, JB seemed to be slippin', yet again ... , on the quality of their shoes. Dusty suede, unmatched laces with the shoe model; It was a catastrophe. But now, more recent and updated photos of them have been taken and they look MUCH better. The Durabuck suede looks really well done and the red and purple accents make the shoe pop quite nicely.

Lebron James' sneaker line with Nike has been becoming more and more successful as the years pass.

Air Jordan 9 "Johnny Kilroy"

The Jordan Retro 9 is approaching soon in various colorways. One of the most interesting that's quickly coming up is the "Johnny Kilroy" 9's. For those interested or don't know about the name, Johnny Kilroy was an alter ego for Michael Jordan during his heydays. Johnny Kilroy was a fictional character, played by MJ, featured in a commercial for the Air Jordan 4. These Johnny Kilroy 9's will feature a black and metallic silver upper with hits of red in the accents. They also will feature a #4 on the heel counter. A release date has been set for October 6th.

Air Jordan 11 "BRED"

As all my sneakerheads know, ever since the Space Jam release in 2009,  Jordan, annually, releases the retro 11 every year on December 23rd. First, it was the Space Jams in '09, then the Cool Grey's in '10, the Concords last year in '11, and now the Bred 11's this year. We were expecting the Columbia's this year and BRED's next year but I guess JB had other plans. These were controversial in terms of materials but this post should put an end to that. What also separates these 11's from past 11 releases is that these are $185 .. not the typical $175. But even though the price has increased, they will surely sell out QUICK once December 23rd gets here.

Reebok Court Victory Pump "Michael Chang"

The sports industry is one of the best examples to see how diverse the world can be and how different ethnic people can work together. Over this past year, an "Asian sensation" named Jeremy Lin (A point guard for the New York Knicks) was giving some playing time off the bench and performed very well; leading to the "Linsanity" escapade. Him being of Asian descent helped him stand out as a NBA but one other Asian athlete that dominated his sport for a little while was Michael Chang. Chang was a former tennis champion and is arguably one of the greatest ever and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall Of Fame. His Reebok Court Victory Pump is being retroed by the company in his honor.

Ewing Athletics

We haven't seen a release like this in quite a while. One of the signature sneakers for former NBA big man, Patrick Ewing, The "33", is being retroed. This is basically like going through an old crate, finding them, dusting them off, restoring them, and throwing them back on the shelves. A few different colorways of these 33's are planned to be released this year but a date has not been set yet.

Air Jordan 4 "Black Cement"

One of the highest anticipated Jordans of the year is finally on the radar. A JB fan favorite and arguably one of the best original colorwayed retros ever, the Black Cement 4, is set to release this Black Friday. Photos of the 2012 version have finally surfaced and coming from a critic and skeptic over the quality for retros this year like me, I'm proud to say they did a good job on these. Can't wait for them to come out.

New Balance 996 x Fall 2012

A quick preview of a couple new colorways of the 996 from New Balance. New Balance is honestly an unsung sneaker brand in the ranks of appeal towards the urban youth. Their lifestyle/classics are definitely the right shoes for the sneakerhead looking to diversify his or her collection. These colorways should be released some time this fall.

Nike SB "Pushead 2"

During Nike Skateboarding's heyday, the SB "Pusheads" were one of the most popular pairs. That painter's-like design with the color coordination was like no other.

These Pushead 2's are set to release some time around July 15th.
