Air Jordan 5 – Black / Metallic Silver New Images



The Air Jordan 5 Black / Metallic Silver is set for a release later this year and calling it anticipated would be an understatement. This is one of those sneakers that you simply have to have and here we get to take another look at it.
Black nubuck along the upper is dressed with Metallic Silver on the midsole and gleaming 3M on the tongue. The ice blue outsole looks as brilliant as ever next to the backdrop that these colors set and wraps things up nicely. These are set to be released in August and chances are they will go just as fast as they come.

adidas MEGA Torsion RSP II

A few days ago we previewed this “Duke” colorway in the Nike Air MAx Uptempo 2, and today we have even more pictures to bring to you guys. Just to recap, black nubuck covers most of the upper, while mesh reveals blue underlay inserts. White makes its way onto the shoe in the form of islands that are scattered along the sides and heel, as well as the midsole. Still no word as to a release date, but stay tuned in for more information as it surfaces.
For Fall 2011 adidas presents the MEGA Torsion RSP II shoe. It comes in overall 4 colorways, with the grey/neon yellow and the navy/grey being our two favorite. The trend of more technical running shoes making their way into lifestyle continues and we like the fact that people start being more open minded again for new silhouettes, rather than only going with everything vintage.
Check out all colorways of the adidas MEGA Torsion RSP II after the jump.

How to “Nike Air” Your Air Jordans – Video Tutorial











They say a true magician never reveals his tricks, but to h-e-double hockey sticks with age-old proverbs.Remember these babies? Sneaker customizer dkonstantinos of NT pulled off one of the greatest sneaker illusions in history by removing the Jumpman AIR logos on the back of his recent Air Jordan Retro releases and replacing them with the original Nike Air logos, giving the shoes that 'OG' look that we all wholeheartedly desire. At quick glance, his handi-work looks like it it came straight out of the factory, because they're just THAT good, and dkonstantinos has graciously decided to share his contribution to the world in the form of a video tutorial. That's right, disgruntled Air Jordan fans, you too can have your own 'Nike Air' Retro Jays so long as you put in the time and effort. Just keep in mind that such great results requires time and effort, so if you're ready to attack this project, check out the tutorial video below and let us know if you'd consider doing this on your own!

Air Jordan 3 – Black / Cement “New Images”








To be totally honest with you there is nothing new to see her. We are just pretty stoked by the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 3 Black / Cement and can’t help to post any extensive photo set that we can find. But then again who doesn’t want to look at these things up close and personal at every chance they get? That Black tumbled leather against that Cement elephant print is too hard to pass up and has to be seen at every opportunity we get. You guys still amped up for this one?
