Air Jordan 1 Retro High – Silver Anniversary



Jordan Brand is going into the holiday season with a lot of momentum. We’ve shown you some of the great collections based on the 25 year anniversary of the brand, and now we are finally seeing some of the anniversary items for sale. This Air Jordan I (1) Retro High model is a visual homage to the Silver anniversary, as the shoe is a silver color from the soles to the tongue. We’ve shown you previews of this model, and some detailed images, and now these Jordans, which feature crinkled silver material on the heel, collar, and toebox are available at e-retailer RMK. The inaugural model is the first to get the full anniversary treatment, as signified by the tongue logo that is both a vertical “23″ (his uniform number) and “25.” Also shown here is the ornate packaging, as the sneaker comes in a sleek silver briefcase complete with eggshell foam and the anniversary logo near the handle.






Air Jordan XI (11) Sample - White-Metallic Silver



As Jordan Brand continues their 25th anniversary, the celebration of the brand continues in the form of two collections that unified the colorways of the main releases from the past 25 years. One collection featured the entire line in white and red, while the more recent release was of the purest colorway possible – white on white. In what is arguable the most popular of all the 25 Jordan sneakers, the Air Jordan XII (11) is shown here in a frost-bite cold white on white colorway with clear soles. By reducing the colorway, the various contours and materials employed on the sneaker shine. In this case, the use of premium leather on the heel instead of smooth leather adds a textural contrast to the patent and nylon employed elsewhere. The clear soles are even accented by the checkered carbon-fiber structural element on the outsole.

A Bathing Ape Tiger Down Jacket




The latest outing for the iconic Bape Tiger sees it on the hood of this 100% Polyester jacket. Harping back to older releases, the Tiger hood features a camo backing on one side, leaving the other plain. What’s different about this release is the fact that the jacket is more of a lightweight down coat than a hoodie. The jacket is now available in Black, Navy or Orange from Bape.com or at Bape Stores.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 – Light Gray/Blue




Nike hit a home-run when they re-released the Air Max Griffey. It has since spawned successful colorways in royal blue, freshwater, all black, and black and red. Like many Air Jordans and Air Max sneaker preceding this, Nike has come up with a gray colorway that showcases the contours and details of the Griffey Max nicely. There are flecks of electric blue on the lacelocks, heel swoosh, velcro tab, tongue, and the air bubble to make this a release that will have sneaker fans jacked up. Also on the roster for the summer of 2010 is the Air Max Griffey  GDII, so it appears that Nike has committed to giving Griffey fans some attention. These are now available at Kinstor.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Amsterdam’s Patta dropped their third Air Max 1 collab in the last month on Thanksgiving Day last week in-store, and until today we thought they’d be too limited to grab in the states. This isn’t the case though, as Shoe Gallery in Miami will have them for sale tomorrow, December 1st.
These feature a purple perforated suede on the toe and near the ankle, matching the laces. Dark blue corduroy adorns the uppers and tongue, while a green Swoosh and tongue tag are used. A navy denim mudguard completes the look, tying these into the far simpler White/Green andWhite/Purple releases that have already released.Click here to see a bigger look and to find out where Shoe Gallery is located.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High – Grey-Metallic Silver – 25th Anniversary




Air Jordan is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary, and the red/white colorway exhibition of each Air Jordanshown at Niketown NYC is an homage to the collection. Hopefully, we’ll see some more anniversary sneakers that will be available for purchase, like this Jordan 1 retro high in metallic silver. We’ve also already seen another metallic model of the Air Jordan 1 Phat Premier that is slated for a holiday release, but this one ups the sheen factor a bit more. The upper features a glitzy, weathered material on the toe, heel , and swoosh. The rest of the sneaker features what looks to be a suede material that plays nicely off of the silver. The tongue logo is a vertical “23/25″ symbol that is also found on the Air Jordan 2010. No word on official release dates as of yet, but stick with Freshness for updates on this one
