Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 2009 Sneakers

So of course with all the fight and fuss you have seen the Jordan 6 freaked out for this project and the Sole has turned out oh so crispy! Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 6 Charity 2009 Collection is going to be available at Nike Towns/Nike Stores on Nov 14th. Each one of the kids picture below had their own personal choice of colors, materials, writing, etc that went into the shoe. Nike Air Max Zenyth, Shox NZ, Dunk High, Air Force 1, P-Rod 3, and Air Jordan 6 makes up this years collection.

The profits from the Doernbecher Freestyle program helps raise money for the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital Foundation. So not only are the shoes they created totally amazing..if you get you chance to grab a pair it's going to a really good cause. Thanks again Maze @ KATC for the tagged pic!


Nike Air Max 90 Premium LE – Spring 2010

We see yet another close up for all the Air Max 90 fans for 2010. This one has that champion gold hit near the air unit that kind of sets this color off. Expect to see a ton of Air Max 90 release from Feb through early summer of next year heavy.




Nike WMNS Air Max 90 – Dark Obsidian – Pink – White

Ladies...I know we have been sleeping on you updates for a hot min, but look what Nike drops for ya'll this fall. Only wish that they added the dark obsidian accents to the Nike Air in the back near the heel tab...other than that...they are solid. Rumors are that they only go up to a womens 8.5 this time around which is odd. So big foot ladies you might have to sit this one out! (j/k)

Nike Air Safari 87 Retro – Holiday 2009

Nike Air 87 is coming back again for Holiday all wrapped in premium leather for the winter. Oh yeah....they hit us with the tricked out safari print as well! Christmas is looking good!


Nike Air Trainer 1 x Manny Pacquiao Lights Out

So another cold color way in what is still my favorite Trainer for 2009 gets another Manny Pacquiao treatment. These are based on the quick second round knock out against fight Ricky Hatton. Not only am I feeling the whole glow in the dark theme but check out the outsole featuring the date and stoppage time from Pacquiao's stunning defeat that night. No word on if these will hit the U.S. anytime soon. Official release is going to be held at Nike Park at the Fort in the Philippines on Sept. 25th.

Oh yeah....scroll down and fast forward to about the {3:10} mark if you did not see the knock out! Gotta love where Nike gets the inspiration from.







Adidas SuperStar II x Method Man

To tag along with the Redman edition superstar we showed you Adidas feature the "Ticallion Stallion" aka Method Man's exclusive. Premium leather blue upper, royal blue stripes, and a hit of navy canvas in the heel portion of the show. I love how Adidas paid close attention to detail and keep the theme of the shoe consistent. I know this is not everyone cup of tea but you have to applaud the effort! This is now available at select Adidas accounts.




Air Jordan 12 Rising Sun Official Release Date

With almost a month away from the Air Jordan Retro 12 Rising Sun to release. The date that Jordan Brand announced is going to be October 24th. Keep in mind the following month we will see the Black and Red "Flu Game" 12's that we featured, along with the wht/red color that drops in Dec. Save those chips up if you are looking to grab these...this year will be over before you know it.

Nike Trainer 1 x Sony Playstation 3 theme

The new Nike Trainer 1 has been getting a ton of buzz lately not only from the Bo Jackson Trainer 1 Pack that released this summer, but also with the Nike iD capability that you have now as well. It was a matter of time before the innovation kitchen cooked up another treat for the streets. This time they take characteristics from the Sony Playstation 3 and incorporate that into the design on the Trainer 1. I am loving the multicolored translucent outsole and the laces are pretty fresh too! Rest of the shoe.....I'm on the fence about.

Air Jordan Retro 12 GS Blk/Purp/Turquoise

Kids and Ladies get ready. Your favorite Jordan Retro 12 will come back out in Blk/Purple/Turquoise in grade school sizes. So ladies with the BIG feet ya'll might have to sit this one out. LOL. Anyway look for these to start popping up sometime in late Oct.



Jordan Spizike "Fresh Since 1985"

The Spizike continues strong trying to finish off this year with the hybrid boots and looking promising for 2010 with a couple different colorways as well. This one is taken from the Fire Red Jordan 3 and MARS BLACKMON "DO YOU KNOW?" theme featured on the inner lining of the shoe. The only thing I worry about is the yellowing that might start to occur on the clear mid panel patch over time. Nevertheless....still another dope color in my eyes by Jordan Brand.




Nike Zoom Skyposite Amar'e Stoudemire PE

So by now you should know us here at SSD by now that we just don't report on shoes that look good, but also perform good as well. When we talk about technology and always bring the heat out of their innovation kitchen it has to be Nike.

Amar'e Stoudemire is going to be rocking this combination of foamposite upper and lunar foam/ Zoom midsole inspired by the Nike Blazer. Nice 3 way fusion mix for a basketball sneaker which looks pretty comfortable. Nike is set to release an Amar'e Stoudemire PE Nike Zoom Skyposite at the House of Hoops in Dec. I am sure we will see other version of this shoe later in the hoop season as well.

Leftfoot x mita sneakers x New Balance CM999 – Feral Creature Collection – Peacock + Black Crow

So Leftfoot x Mita get together on a collaboration to do a animal pack theme based 999 New Balance. The first is taken from a peacock feathers and the second dubbed as the "Black Crow" seems to give New Balance even more appeal for headz over seas. Look for several other shoes by New Balance with the same animal theme.








Chirs Brown Sneaker Closet.

Check out 1 of the homie Chris Browns sneaker closet. He told people magazine a while back that he owns close to over 2000 pair of kicks. If you look closely it appears that he stays well stocked in Nike Blazer, Nike Court Forces, and almost every other kind of Nike SB you can and can't think of. I wanted to see the Jordan collection but there does not to be any in sight....at least with this closet. LOL.

Melo 6 now available!!

If you have been following us for a while then you should remember the Mello 6 that we previewed back in June....if not it can be found {HERE} So this does not catch my eye like some of previous models but comfort/durability on the court will be the final judge. I think that some headz judge the shoes too quickly sometime due to the fact that everyone is not a hooper. I can understand that completely, someone do a quick try on at their local finishline and let us know how the work out! LOL. Give is 45 days they will be on clearance. HAHAHA. Thoughts?

Mike Jordan interview before Hall of Fame induction

Air Jordan Force Fusion 13 (Black/Red)

Quality on these I must admit look a heck of a lot better then the white/blk version we all have seen floating around online. Leather looks clean and soft in the toe cap/toe box area along with the red suede surrounding the midsole. They kept it 100 by using the same black 3m material around the upper as the Jordan 13. I wish that Jordan Brand would have outlined in black around the stitching near the back where the Nike Air is located but what are you gonna do? Love it our Hate em....comment below.
