Love them or hate them, the Nike Air Jordan 2010 will be on the way in the near future in a variety of colorways. Now we get our first look at another upcoming colorway. This pair sports a Black patent/nubuck upper with splashes of University Blue on the midsole, branding, lining and contrast stitching. No word yet on a release for these, but it wouldn’t be surprising to seem them on the feet of UNC players as well as Denver Nugget and Jordan Brand player, Carmelo Anthony.

By following a tradition celebrated by a majority of the NBA’s star athletes, Dwayne Wade was spotted rocking a new colorway in the Nike Air Jordan 1 Alpha in a White/Black-Red Colorway for Christmas, an updated design of the brand’s timeless Nike Air Jordan 1. The sneakers feature a familiar look with added technologies, including a Phylon midsole, Zoom Air unit and padded ankle lining. Celebrating the sneaker’s 25th Anniversary, look for this colorway along with various others to begin dropping in early 2010.

Air Jordan Silver Anniversary releases notwithstanding, there is never been a more appropriate metallic sneaker than the Nike Foamposite One in the new copper colourway. Penny Hardaway’s only non-”Air Penny” signature simply needed to be released in his namesake metallic hue, and here is our best look at it yet. In about a dozen super closeup photos, you will get a good sense for how dope the Dirty Copper foam looks against a scored ankle collar and icey translucent outsole.

In a few more weeks Nike Sportswear will release their new Nike Air Classic BW Gen II, an updated version of the Nike Air Classic BW that was originally introduced back in 1991. The new Nike Air Classic BW Gen II keeps the original silhouette of the BW in tact while updating the upper with a sonic welded no seam upper along with infusing one of Nike’s newest innovations, Torch, into different parts of the shoe. Torch is a 3-layer textile that is not only lightweight and breathable but also helps with the moisture management inside of the sneaker. Here you can see a detailed image of the first colorway that will be released in Spring 2010, in Black and White. The shoes laces have been changed to the new Nike (Lace up. Save lives.) shoelaces.

While the later half of 2009 has shown many Jordan heavy-hitters, previews of what’s to come in 2010 are quite promising. One release included is the Nike Air Jordan VI (6) Retro “White/Black”.

Marqueesole had some in stock already for sale, but there is no surprise that they were promptly seized by anxious fanatics. You will have to wait like the rest of us.

Since the unfortunately death of DJ AM, many have wondered if the Nike Dunk he designed will ever release. DJ Premier recently mentioned on his show that the DJ AM Dunk was still on schedule and earlier today Kasina confirmed this by surprisingly releasing them. This collaboration Nike Dunk features DJ AM’s logo on the tongue, black patent leather wrapping much of the shoe, red premium leather for the toebox, side panels and the upper heel while a light grey swoosh and a white midsole round out the shoe. A unique feature are the three rows of perforations along the heel with 3M underneath, similar to the dots of a Technics Turntable for RPM reading. We are sure an announcement regarding the availability will be made soon so stay with NewKicksOnTheBlog for the update.

The number of Halloween-themed footwear releases is massive this season. Nike alone has set the holiday-inspired bar higher than ever with releases ranging from the new Day of the Dead Quickstrikes Pack to the Blood Splatter SB Blazer High. We already saw one ‘creepy’ Nike Dunk SB Low, and here is another. It is got the orange and black look down, plus the hemp underlay adds a nice rustic look for autumn. Grab the Nike Dunk SB Low Premium “Orange/Black–Sail-Hemp” a little earlier than the US release.
