Air Jordan VI – Black/Metallic Silver/ Red/ Blue

The Jordan Brand 2010 onslaught continues with another Air Jordan VI colorway to drain you of even more cash next year. We gave you a preview of this new look for the Air Jordan VI last month, and now we finally get some better images to examine. This version of the AJVI takes an unorthodox approach, combining sections of Black suede and patent leather on the upper. Accent colors come by way of a heavy supply of Metallic Silver with additional splashes of Red and Blue spread throughout the design, causing many to refer to these as the “Pistons” colorway thanks to the similarities to the Detroit edition of the Sixty Plus. A clear outsole provides a final stylish touch that might be enough to win over those who are skeptical about the mixing of suede and patent. Specific release details are yet to be confirmed, but you can pre-order yours already from Osneaker.

Air Jordan Spiz’ike – “Grape”

Yesterday, we got enticed with a sneak peek at the “Grape” version of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike, and now we get a more thorough look. While they might not be quite as “Grape” as some would like thanks to the prominent Red lace lock and 23 embroidery, the big Purple tongue and Turquoise Jumpman will get the point across just fine for plenty of anxious sneakerheads. These figure to be one of most warmly embraced Spiz’ike colorways to come along so far when they hit retailers in 2010. If you want to get an early jump on the release madness, you can play it safe and pre-order yourself a pair now at Osneaker.

There gigantic tension between anyone on a bike and drivers/pedestrians in NYC. I know there have been numerous fights, lawsuits, public discussions about regulating bike laws etc. Obviously not really sure what happened here except for the fact that the guy on the bike was blocking the cab behind him. Quick temper right there. Sweet getaway on the bike, bro.

Nike Air Flight Condor High – Dark Cinder

Nike seems to have discovered a secret that one of their formerly high volume distributors, Urban Outfitters picked up on: carefully combining seemingly clashing colours results in a kitschy, retro vibe. UO has a large variety of furniture to fit this mold and now Nike has dropped the Air Flight Condor in a colour perfectly befitting its nu-retro looks. New to its hightop shape, the Condor goes with an unorthodox mix of greys, browns, yellows/greens and blues. There’s also just a touch of Hufquake-like tonal brown print on the toe and heel and you can cop them today from 95Soleman on eBay.
