These are a better color way but this shoe still sucks.

The latest in-line colorway of the Air Jordan 2010 readies itself for a release across the world with a Black/University Blue colorway seen here. The Air Jordan 2010’s defining element of design by most accounts is the clear “eye” seen in the mid part of the upper as it combines with patent leather and translucent University Blue outsole. With availability hitting Kasina, we expect a global launch right around the corner.

Who Rocked them better??? Round 1 Fight!!!

V.s.

Just when we thought that we had reported on every pair of the Air Jordan Spizikes, Jordan pops up with another colorway, and a great one at that. For those nay sayers who are wondering if these are fakes, these shoes were on MJ’s feet at Flight School. The shoe looks to be another great shoe in the “Cool Grey” series of Air Jordans that includes the legendary Jordan 11, Jordan 3,Jordan 4, and Jordan 9. For months on end we thought that the Cement Jordan Spizikes were our favorite, but we may need to change our vote. Pics thanks to TheShoeGame and jumpan192 of ISS. There is now an update about the Cool Grey Air Jordan Spizikes.

Nike Air Penny III Eggplant

While the news of the Air Foamposite One “Eggplant” returning for 2010 immediately got attention from readers, finding out that the classic Nike Air Penny 3 is coming in the same colorway may brighten just as many days. This is first time that the beloved sneaker will appear in the even more beloved color.

Eggplant foam is slathered along the side and toe, while a white leather upper works as a base. Black appears on the liner and also on the heel loop, which features a purple accent stripe. Oddly, the purple used on above the Air bubble heel is far brighter than the eggplant, but it doesn’t detract from the overall look too much. These will hit stores in June.

ADIDAS casual sneaker. Very Cool looking.

Adidas is currently doing some big things in 2010. Aside from the ongoing Star Wars x Adidas Originals collection, the All-Star sneakers and the recently shown Valentine’s Day lineup, Adidas has now released a very fresh colorway of its Adirise.

The Adirise, an adidas model that started off as a basketball sneaker, features a high-top finish and is complimented with a white, vulcanized rubber sole. While very few will sport this on the basketball courts these days, it is definiely a nice sneaker to lounge around in. It features a 100% grey colored upper comprised of leather and suede. Metallic gold hints throughout the top half of the shoe give it a nice, classy touch as well. Available now at Adidas’s online store for $80. You can also purchase red, black and white colorways as well.

THESE ARE UGLY!

Last year, a lot of sneaker enthusiasts were disgusted at the fact that the Air Jordan 3 Retro “True Blue” re-released overseas exclusively. Although this sneaker is by no means comparable to the aforementioned Air Jordan 3 Retro, Jordan Brand will release another “True Blue” inspired sneaker in the form of the Jordan Flight 45 Hi later this month.

A lot of you have been very skeptical about the Jordan Flight 45 Hi so far; yet, does this classic colorway propel this particular model in your minds? The cement hints are seen on the heel, while the ‘true blue’ accents are seen just above the sole, on the inner lining, tongue border and on the strap. To finish it off, this Jordan Flight 45 Hi is complimented with a white midesole and a grey outsole. Click here to view additional photos and voice your opinion on this sneaker. As stated earlier, it will be available later on this month.

As a piece in their Spring 2010 Collection,Gourmet announces their first collaboration, theQuattro UNDFTD. This particular Quattro remains consistent with the rest of the collection by pairing design minimalism with premium materials. The seamless upper is wholly white, linen printed full grain leather. The midsole, lining, and tongue are visually defined by a contrast of black against the white upper. The red laces lay as the focal point because they sit centered on a blank background. While they are not pictured, three other pairs of laces are included with the shoes. They are royal, black, and white.

The Quattro UNDFTD will release on February 15 at UNDFTD and a few other US retailers. They will also release overseas in the UK, Europe, and Asia on February 22.
