Detailed pictures of the Foamposite One (Blk/Red)

Keep in mind on June 19th these will release at select House of Hoops accounts only. More than likely expect resellers to pop up with these as well but be prepared to pay well above the $200 tag once they get a hold of them. We here over at SSD are still on the fence about if we like this colorway or not. The black from the pictures can still be misleading due to lighting so its still hard to tell if they black is charcoal or deep black. If nothing else we are still trying to get our heads around the "gummy" red outsole on these. I agree it does add a little more "pop" factor to the shoe but we still need to get one up close and personal to decide. If you get your hands on a pair we would love to see them so hit us up!



Air Jordan Alpha 1 Black Royal

Jordan Alpha 1 is definitely getting some traction in the streets. This time around we see Jordan Brand hit us with a popular Blk/Royal color that should be out sometime this summer. The other colors in this shoe can be found as low as $79 right now at various nike retailers. These should be about $110 once they drop.

Nike Lunar Rejuven8 Mid Preview

So this is definitely one of those shoe at first glance you might be saying... "NO WAY"....but the reality is that they are amazingly light and comfortable. The only thing I would personally like to see more of is the midsole/outsole be another color besides the white blocking they use all the time. I appreciate the fact that they are sticking with basic colors and not going too far off the map with these but that midsole can use some work! LOL. Be on the lookout for tons of these colors to drop over the next couple months, don't be afraid to try something different too! You might end up liking these.

Sat Release Reminder (Infrared Spizike/Welcome Home 2010)

Just a reminder to all of the Jordan headz out there that today a few things released that you might want to pick up! The Jordan Spizike retails at $175 and the D.Wade "Welcome Home" edition 2010's go for $170. These are readily available at all Nike/Jordan Brand accounts. Surprisingly enough the D.Wades are actually selling pretty quick! Do you think it has anything to do with him losing in the playoffs and people feel bad? Lol. Either way, remember to rock what you like!

Nike SB Dunk High – Eric Koston (Detailed Images)

For all my skate board heads these are for you! We are really hoping a ton of hypebeast don't get a hold of these and either you buy them because you like the person behind the inspiration, or you like the way they look. It will be interesting in the next couple weeks how things turn out once they drop! Stay tuned and comment about the colorway.






Nike Air Force 1 Low Wolf Grey White

Summer is gearing up pretty quick people. Nike is dropping another classic color in it's famous air force 1 low line up. A cool mixture of leather and woven materials used all around the shoe make for a pretty casual look! These should be hitting accounts now. Keep a look out.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) MVP PE

So at this point Lebron was not playing at an MVP level 2 nights ago against the Celtics but his shoes were definitely fresh! It was only a matter of time before we saw these on the feet of King James himself. After taking the NBA 2010 MVP award he switches out of his LeBron VII PS for the night to go back to the AML7. They look even more comfortable then some of the general releases out there. White leather upper and grey fleece materials in the flywire panels. No word yet on when/if these will drop but will keep you posted. If I had to guess, I would say these are going to be a Nike.com/HOH order only!! Keep it locked.

Air Jordan Retro II (2) White/Black/Red

With only slight changes to the piping around the shoe which is now black/red vs. black on the OG, this retro stays pretty true to the original form. We are personally looking forward to grabbing another pair once they re-release for the 4th time on May 22nd. If you missed out in early 2000 then now will be the chance to grab em. Retail is $135 on them. Stay tuned!



Air Jordan XI (11) 25th Anniversary – 25 Random Pairs Circulated with Embroidered Jumpman

So this past weekend the Jordan Retro 11 All White Anniversary kicks released. Just like we told you in the video we shot over a month ago with them, they moved with the quickness. Certain heads were disappointed that they did not have the "Jumpman" logo on the side of the shoe. Well friends, leave it up to Jordan Brand and Co. to hit you with some limited edition ish.

According to Jumpman23, there are "25" pairs that were produced with the "Jumpman" logo stitched on the side like normal. This information was not really even put out there till after the release in fear of retailers going through their stock and selling them for triple there worth. If you were able to grab a pair this weekend, double check your uppers....you could be sitting on a little piece of change there. Just to make things even more authentic it came with a numbered card as seen below.

If any of you heads were lucky enough to grab a pair shoot us an email with the pictures and we will post! SoleSurvivorDetroit@gmail.com

Nike WMNS Air Max 90 – White/Metallic Silver/Pink Flash

Ladies, all I can say it is going to be another HOTT summer! (That's right, 2 T's...HA)
It appears that every year that the mens runners drop in some pretty dope colors, before you know it the women are getting even flyer ones. These are yet to hit state side but once they do expect them to be in your local boutiques as apart of Nike Sportswear collection. Ladies what are you thinking???

Nike Air Max 2010 Air Attack Pack

This whole Nike Air Attack Pack is catching FIRE real quick this Spring/Summer! With the continued success of the Air Max 2009 NIke will introduce the Air Max 2010 with the next 30 to 45 days from now. Check out the color selection at what you can expect to hit shelves around the late May early June time frame. You know catz are going to start calling those "all neon" color the "tennis balls." LOL. We have our eye on a few of them as well.





Air Jordan VI (6) – Varsity Red Turned into Infrared

So depending on how crazy you are for the re release of the Jordan 6 shoes this year like we are you might be saving up to grab the infrared pack! For some, people are finding ways to creatively make their varsity red pair, "infrared" instead. Check out these pictures below of what looks like a pretty good color match to what the release will look like. Question is would you do this to your varsity red pair or are you just going to cop the same shoe over again in it's actual color????



Kobe 5 (Blk/Dark Grey)

More images to come on these as we get closer to the July release date on these. If you loved the Kobe 5 but not all the array of colors they had to offer then these might tickle your fancy! Did I really say fancy? Ya'll know what's good! HAHA. Get ready to grab em if you like em.

Air Jordan 2010 “W3LCOME HOME” Edition

Nothing good to report for the Miami Heat after getting smashed by Boston last night ending their shot at the tittle. We showed you this "Welcome Home" colorway earlier this year and as we get closer to the May 8th time frame you will see them hit shelves. They are still going to hit for that pretty price point of $170 when they drop but we will fall back till they hit clearance. LOL. Comments?

So for those of you who have been on that foamposite tip this year again these will be the next round out the batch to release. June 17th is the scheduled release date for them at select HoH locations. Not sure if these will pop up on NIke.com but we will keep you all posted. What do you all think of the clear "red" outsole on these? We are still on the fence about this pair....looks like one of those you might have to see in person.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low (Wht/Neon Green)

No official word on the release on these neon joints! One thing we can say is that when they do drop they are guaranteed to be a neck breaker!
