Flyknit Roshe

The Nike Roshe has been Nike's biggest seller in 2014. With unique colors, design, and fit, it's a unique shoe for any buyer. Whether you're wearing it for comfort or fashion it has become a must buy for whoever. In recent months the Roshe has been fused with a favorite of Outersole's, Nike's flyknit. With the stretchy and seamless upper of flyknit and the soft cushion of Roshe, the design could be considered flawless. On October 4th Nike will be releasing the "multi-color" colorway. Whenever the flyknit design releases in "multi-color" it is always a sellout product. Expect no different with this gem.

Air Jordan "Ultimate Gift Of Flight" Pack

The rumors are starting to turn out to be true. The "Pantone" Air Jordan XI was first rumored to release this December with the "Legendary Blue" XI, then they were rumored to release with The "Air Jordan XX9" with the big logo, and now it seems they're releasing with the XX9 covered with Jordan cement print for $500. There are images of the 2 shoes in an all blue special edition Air Jordan box similar to the "Olympic Gold VI & VII pack" box. Still no official word yet so they may make some changes. Do you like the idea? Would you rather a different shoe or the other XX9 style? Are you ready to pay 250$ for a pair of Air Jordan's? Share your thoughts after seeing more photos below.

Pantone Air Jordan XI

This year we've seen more and more people posting pictures of the "Pantone" Air Jordan's. They were a pack of retro Air Jordan's, (1-2009), that were all covered in powder blue with black sock liners and white midsoles. RUMOR is the "Pantone" Air Jordan XI is supposed to release the first week of December along with the All Black and gum-bottom Retro 1 high OG. Would you rather have the "Pantone" XI or the "Legend Blue" this December? Or both? Tell us your thoughts and check out more pics of the Pantone XI and the entire pack below.

Return of the Penny 1

The beloved Penny 1 will make a return this winter in an array of different color-ways. With the Foamposite having large success in recent years, it's a great move for Nike to experiment with the Penny 1. Especially in new colors. Expect to see the Penny 1 be a must have to old and new sneakerheads in late 2014 and though 2015. The original "Orlando" color-way should be a must cop on many lists.

"Think Pink"

With October on the horizon there are many things to look forward to. Fall fashion, football, and Halloween. For many Americans it's the chance to make a difference and help bring awareness to the terrible condition that is breast cancer. 

In 1982 the Susan G. Komen foundation was created. Based out of Dallas, Texas it is currently the most widely known non-profit breast cancer organization in the United States. Spending nearly 1.5 billion dollars on healthcare, social support, advocacy, research, and education. 

Every year different brands do their parts to help the cause. The NFL along with Nike release entire lines in pink to donate to different organizations. This year there is a new supporter of the Susan G. Komen foundation. Timberland. The classic 6 inch Timberland boot will release in all pink to help raise awareness. For every pair sold, men's and kids, $5 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Timberland has guaranteed a $25,000 donation to the foundation as well. The boots will be priced at $180 for the men's sizes and $110 for the kids sizes. Will you be picking up the "Susan G. Komen" 6-inch this Saturday for support or looks? Either way you will be donating to the fight.



Other shoes and athletes supporting the cause.

Air Jordan XI Packaging

Almost two years ago The Air Jordan Brand broke away from one of its newer traditions when they released the "Bred" Air Jordan XI in a regular new Jordan box instead of the same unique, distinct, slide out signature Air Jordan XI box the "Space Jam", "Cool Grey", and "Concord" colorways came in. Although they kept the shoe inserts and special cover it was safe to say it disappointed most Air Jordan fans. They returned to the signature box with the release of the "Gamma" XI last winter, so how come the 2012 "Bred" was alienated? Maybe The Jordan Brand figured it wasn't needed seeing as how the last time the "Bred" XI released it had special packaging (See 2008's December XI/XII Countdown Pack). Either way, they're continuing to the "regular" signature Jordan XI packaging in December with the release of the "Legend Blue" colorway. Do you keep all your original boxes your kicks come in or do you have your own personal way to store your kicks? Tell us your thoughts.

Displayed here is the Air Jordan All Red collection. Thoughts? Likelyhood of Jordan Brand releasing these color ways is slim to none, but it's fun to imagine right?

Nike Sportswear Air Huarache

This Saturday Nike will be launching yet another color pack of the classic Air Huarache. The classic silhouette that the world has loved for over 20 years will release in two color ways. One being mainly university red and black. The other mainly black with university red. Expect to find this shoe at your local Nike retailers and also online. With a reasonable price tag of $110 this should be an easy pick up for the sportswear enthusiasts. 




Nike Hypercross Trainer

Nike is changing the shoe game once again not only with design but performance as a whole. The New Nike Zoom Hypercross Trainer is their “latest air cushioning innovation”. Using the same hexagonal Nike Zoom Air as debuted with the new Lebron 12 it allows a wearer more flexibility while still being lightweight. The Hypercross Trainer releases on October 10th for, (the day before the first Lebron 12 colorway releases) for $140.
