There is no arguing the Nike Air Jordan VI’s spot as one of the most popular Jordan signature models – every retro release was met with high anticipation and quick sales. The upcoming Nike Air Jordan VI “Detroit Pistons” features a nubuck and patent leather upper with a myriad of colors on the midsole; versatile varsity red, nostalgicly speckled true blue, and contrasting light graphite all combine surprisingly well with the signature ice outsole. Check back with NewKicksOnTheBlog for updated info regarding a drop date.

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.

Thanks to Eddie Cruz and his Twitter account we have a look at a sample of the Nike Air Jordan Spizike in Black, Varsity Red, and Cement. This colorway of the Spizike surprisingly has never been released while a White and Cement pair was when the Spizikes were originally introduced a couple years ago. This looks like one of the better models from the Jordan Brand for Spring 2010.

If you thought the Nike Air Jordan 60+ (Plus) was growing on you before, just wait until you see the newest colorway. Those who already loved its mashup design will also be impressed by the new white and red edition pictured above. Nearly the whole shoe is white, save for bright red accents on areas like the Air Jordan V (5) sharkstooth, heel ribbing and rear quarter/wing underlay from the Air Jordan II (2), and the Nike Air Jordan VI’s (6) lacelock. Put all of this atop a translucent outsole and there’s no wonder why this shoe is being released to commemorate Mike’s greatest individual performances. OSneaker had a few sample pairs, but they sold out already, so take a look and get excited for their release.

Fresh off two new colourways, here is another Nike Air Jordan Flight 45. This pair was revealed early this month and we saw two sets of pictures during the first week. With a black design featuring red and cement grey accents, including the iconic elephant print, this pair is a perfect fit for the classic Chicago palette. Each of the other pairs we have seen had irregular perforations, and though the heel tab’s braille was clear on the red and white pair, we hadn’t put the two together until seeing this sample pair with deeper perfs. Anyone who knows American Sign Language should let us know what the side panels and toe say, and if the message is clear, you can cop a pair of these now on eBay.

Nike will continue their Vintage collection of footwear this Summer when it releases this classic court shoe, the Nike Killshot.

Two colorways will be released in the upcoming Summer (April) 2009 Nike Sportswear collection.

The Nike Air Max Light “White/ Black-Red” was first released back in the late 80´s and immediately became an iconic shoe. This sneaker featuring a mix of white and black leather, varsity red nubuck leather, white mesh and on the tongue white mesh and inside fresh white lining. The highlight will be the decent color combination, the white swoosh and the varsity red/black sole unit! Excellent Colorway for the Spring Season.

Available at Purchaze in the Nike Air Max Section.

The multicolored Nike WMNS Dunk Hi featured above is made exclusively for the ladies and will hit Nike retailers in early January of 2009. Yielding an upper composed of varsity red, rave pink, bronze, light green, and turquoise, this sneaker deviates from the simple look we are used to seeing on women’s Nike Dunk´s. The use of a clean white swoosh and a white toebox complete this pair by adding the finishing touches needed to contrast the rest of the multicolored upper. As previously mentioned, this pair will hit Nike retailers in early January of 2009 for a retail price of $105.
