Nike Air Force 1 “Foamposite”


This past Friday, we showed you a slew of Nike Sportswear tweets in regards to an upcoming Foamposite-themed sneaker. The ongoing tweets have undoubtedly kept the sneaker community on edge as we all impatiently await this mystery sneaker. Well, we finally know what to expect later this year. Nike Sportswear will unleash a Foamposite-inspired Nike Air Force 1 later during the fall of 2010! Or in Nike Sportswear’s words, Foamposite meet AF1, AF1 meet Foamposite.
This Nike Air Force 1 “Foamposite” is sure to garner an abundance of attention considering both the Air Force 1 and the Air Foamposite are two of the most coveted sneakers ever created. However, does the fusing of both of these iconic sneakers excite you or are you tired of the hybrid creations? Supposedly, Nike Sportswear will release at least two colorways of this sneaker during the fall season of 2010 as stated earlier. Share your thoughts on this newly-developed creation in the comment section below! Also, follow Nike Sportswear on Twitter for additional updates.

Air Jordan 1 2K High







A couple of days ago, we previewed the Air Jordan 1 Retro Lineup that Jordan Brand has in store for us this summer and early fall. The majority of those who commented were not too enthused with the three Air Jordan 1 Highs and the two Air Jordan 1 PHAT Lows that will be releasing over the next few months. However, we have spotted a new Air Jordan 1 that is sure garner a lot of attention from you.
The newly-designed Air Jordan 1 2K High simply pays tribute to the four NBA Eastern Conference teams that Michael Jordan battled time and time again throughout his successful career. Last year, Jordan Brand released a four-sneaker Air Jordan 1 PHAT Retro collection that commemorated each team including the Atlanta Hawks, the Detroit Pistons, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics. However, this Air Jordan 1 2K High pays tribute to each team using one sneaker. With that said, multiple panels are covered with the respective team’s color scheme, and the entire upper is overlayed with a bold, triangular stitched design. Minimal Jordan branding is spotted on the heel panel, the tongue and collar area.
The Air Jordan 1 2K High will come in a highly-designed black drawstring back inside a special Jordan box. This limited release can be found exclusively online at Nike’s online store and at Niketown stores.

Air Jordan 2 University Blue/Black


The Air Jordan 9 may getting all the love right now, but this Air Jordan 2 deserves its fair share of attention. Having seen this shoe once before from all angles, we can now deliver an official release date: July 31st.
University Blue covers the entire upper of this pair, with tumbled leather appearing on the quarter panel. Black piping breaks up the blue and the midsole is the same hue. The outsole is icy clear and white shows through it. Are these the best 2s we’ve seen this year?
