New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

Having already dropped a slew of colorways, the Jordan camp shows no signs of stopping as 2009 will featured more renditions of the iconic Nike Air Jordan 1 than ever before. This latest mock up actually challenges the classic Nike Air Jordan VII Hare, borrowing its colorway and mix of materials for a full blown transfer onto a new platform. Along with the vibrant print colored tongue, the kicks feature an Air Bunny logo as well as “HARE” detailing on the tongue and heel. A release is scheduled for April 11th, 2009 with a price tag of $110 USD. In 1991, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan VII (7) - Hare and in 2008 they brought back the sought after style for the Air Jordan 7/16 Countdown Pack. With Easter right around the corner, another Hare themed Air Jordan will be releasing, but it is not the Air Jordan VII, instead it is the Air Jordan I (1) Retro. The sneakers are outfitted with a colorway consisting of white, light graphite and true red. Aside from the colorway both models share, this pair of Nike Air Jordan I also sports an Air Jordan VII design on the tongue with a silhouette of Bugs Bunny and Hare written under him.

Here is a first look at some recently surfaced photos of an upcoming Nike Dunk SB Mid Premium that takes inspiration from what some might consider the greatest invention ever - the television. Taking this concept, the sneaker consists of a simple black/grey/light green colorway using a combination of suede and what looks to be leather behind the Swoosh. For those interested, these are expected to release in the first quarter of 2009.

The nice treatment the Nike Air Jordan I (1) has been receiving from the designers at Jordan Brand will continue well into 2009. News just broke of an Nike Air Jordan Retro I “Hare” to be released during the spring of 2009. Just in case you don’t remember, the “Hare” nickname comes from 1992 when the Air Jordan VII was advertised in commercials featuring Michael Jordan along with Bugs Bunny. In the commercial, Bugs Bunny differentiates between “Air Jordan” (MJ) and “Hare Jordan” (The Shoes).

While the preliminary catalog images of the Nike Air Jordan I featuring the “Hare” treatment don’t reveal too many details, we can get a fairly good impression of the two colorways along with some of the design additions. One pair will come in stealth/black-light silver-pink clay-white while the other will be featured in a white/light silver-true red colorway. Other than the colorways, we can see that the “Hare” version of the Nike Air Jordan Jumpman will be located on each tongue, surrounded by a design similar to what we have seen on the Air Jordan VII. Look for these to drop as a Quickstrike release set for April, 2009 (maybe around Easter considering the bunny?).

Here is a new Nike Dunk Mid SB that is sure to have some hype built behind it. These feature an elegant design on the rear quarter and strap, black leather on the heel, side and toebox, a white leather toe and laces. The laces say “Kevlar”, so they are likely made of the bulletproof material. We are not sure yet if these are an Asia exclusive, but we will keep you posted.

Keeping with the canvas/suede styles of Nike SB’s upcoming Spring 2009 models, this Nike Dunk Mid features a nice bright but congruous colorway. The front portion of the sneaker is french blue canvas, while the heel is yellow suede. As you can see, the heel contains a Charlie Brown-like zig-zag design. The pair also comes with round, brown dress laces. There is no word yet about when or if this pair will release but expect it to be a Spring 2009 release.

Purchaze received the

Reebok Reverse Jam Low “Pink/Yellow” and the Reebok Reverse Jam Mid “Yellow/Pink”.

Reebok developed the “Reverse Jam” in the 90th. It provides the ultimate in a custom fit and support system. The honeycomb is one of the strongest yet lightest shapes found in nature. With modification, it was the theory behind the development of Reebok´s Hexalite technology. The Hexalite honeycomb design spreads shock over a larger area then EVA or polyurethane. As a result it combines cushioning and light weight for superb performance! The Reebok Reverse Jam Low comes this time in a Laser Pink/Yellow/White/Black Colorway and the Reverse Jam Mid in a Yellow/White/Pink/Black Colorway.
