The 2011 Air Jordan features handcrafted Patina leather, advanced footwear technology to help you improve your hoops game and an impeccable design, to go along with what has become symbol of excellence in basketball footwear, the iconic Jumpman logo that graces the tongue. The Air Jordan Year of the Rabbit however, takes the 25th Anniversary Jordan sneaker to another level. The limited edition sneaker features custom Chinese packaging and artwork with the theme of current Chinese New Year and zodiac, the rabbit, which also happens to be the same Chinese astrological sign Michael Jordan was born under.

Black on black leather upper, golden details peeking through on the tongue along with a fleck of gold script paying homage to Ian Brown along the side, this Kazuki K. designed Adidas kick is boss. Simple and smooth like a double shot Maker’s 46, Mr. Kuraishi applied his skills to the Adidas ZXZ running shoe for the Originals by Originals 2011 Collection.

The hype is that the inspiration behind these is Orange County sunshine. Truthfully, it does not matter if you wore these in California Sun or London Fog; the milk white leather canvas is a firm foundation for this colorway. A perfect pickup for those in the area of UNDFTD on Feb 11th. Two pairs of Nike Zoom Hyperfuse round out the collection, but this Air Force 1 stands out from the rest of the pack.

Hard to believe that 1998 was the year Michael Jordan won his last championship ring with the Chicago Bulls. That NBA Championship gave Air Jordan his sixth ring. Speaking of which, the Air Jordan 6 Rings ($160) are due for release. The pair pictured are the black and charcoal colorway.

I love a good pair of Pumas. Alexander McQueen often puts together great kicks for your feet with his Puma works and in 2009 the tradition continues with the Ribcage. Pictured is the black Puma Ribcage Lux. You can find a white version of the Puma Ribcage here and pics of the Lux and Sport versions here.

Nike is giving the folks from the land down under a refresh on an Air Max 95 classic. The Air Max 95 Neon Australia is an update to one of the more popular colorways from the AM95 lineup. The updated sneaker features neon laces and the Air Max logo on the tongue. If you are land locked and can’t make it to Australia to get these in person hit up Footlocker Australia and convince them to satisfy your Nike AirMax cravings.

Nike SB April 2008 looks good. Here are two shoes from Nike SB that will definitely catch you some looks. First up you have the Nike Zoom Tre AD rocking the Black and Voltage Yellow colorway.

Celebrating their 5 year anniversary, Limited Edt teams with New Balance to create the 577 Vault. The handmade New Balance 577 Vault Edition is built from premium leathers and is limited to 140 numbered pairs.

This weekend was nothing but politics and Grammy Awards with Kanye West and Amy Winehouse topping the list. To scratch your sneaker itch, here is what I spotted since Friday, when I watched “There Will Be Blood”.

Almost as sweet as the Black/Anthracite Airmax 360 II SL, this new premium Air Force 1 comes close. Premium leathers bring this Air Force One colorway up a few notches from recent releases. It also comes with a pair of backup laces and a Nike Air Force 1 lace lock. @ Purchaze
