The Air Jordan 6 Rings (Another Dub Zero/ Spizike!?)

Remixing classic Air Jordans to produce something new is anything but that by Jordan Brand. The line celebrated their 20th Anniversary in 2005 and brought back long time designing legend Tinker Hatfield to create the Air Jordan 20.
That year also saw the release of a “tribute” sneaker to the work that Tinker had done with the Air Jordan line and thus the Dub Zero was created. This shoe was a mixture of some of Tinker’s best work of the Jordan 4, Jordan 6, Jordan 11, Jordan 12, Jordan 13, Jordan 15, and Jordan 20. In 2006, Jordan Brand put together a shoe that fused all the Jordans that Spike helped Mike promote. The Jordan 3, Jordan 4, Jordan 5, Jordan 6, Jordan 9, and Jordan 20 came together as the Spiz’ike.
As Air Jordan celebrates 23 years of perfection, a new shoe has been created from existing parts - the Air Jordan Six Rings. This shoe borrows elements from the six sneakers that Jordan wore during the seasons he won NBA Championships: Jordans 6-8, and Jordans 11-13. This first colorway will release in November this year, but there are several colors set to release into 2009.

Reebok elephant pack!

Reebok's latest sneaker conquest comes in the form of this three-sneaker elephant pack. Although the elephant print has largely been associated with the popularity of the Air Jordan III, Reebok has done their own rendition on their two lifestyle flagship models, the Pump Omni Lite and Court Victory Pump as well as the running model Ventilator. Available now at select Reebok dealers.

Retro Nike Flight 96'

The fourth colorway of the Nike Flight 96' Retro has begun to hit retail. Reminiscent of the "Olympic" Nike Zoom Flight 96, the "White/Royal" Nike Zoom Flight 96 Retro features a White leather upper, Royal accents, a Gradient Royal Zoom strip, and a Royal translucent outsole.

Nike Flightposite Retro Gold

Following up on the release of the Black Nike Flightposites, Nike is set to release the widely beloved "Gold" Nike Flightposite Retro later this year. Very faithful to the OG, the "Gold" Flighposites feature a Gold Foam upper with a Black Booty.

Should be able to purchase at your local DTLR.

Sneaker Of the Week

This Weeks Sneaker Picked by Soul conn Member De'rek is the Air Jordan 11 .
The 11's were released in 1995 and is def a very popular Jordan. The Air Jordan XI heralded a triple comeback; Jordan’s return to the NBA, the return of designer Tinker Hatfield, and disappointingly, the return of the unpopular clear soles that yellowed with age.(I LOVED THE SOLE)..

While the design of this model was premium, the quality was sadly lacking and despite the release of low-top versions, the Jordan XI was not the most popular of all the Air Jordan shoes at first, But When the Jordan XI's were retroed in 2000-2001 they became the fastest selling, most popular Jordan retros of all.


"Defintly one of the dopest sneakers of all time. Or otherwise know as the come back jays. The combination of comfort and style has yet to be matched. The first successful shoe to introduce patent leather and upper mesh, along with the also sexy icey sole:). I remember waiting in line at like 6am on a school day to cop my second pair blk/red. The blk/wht concord's dropped earlier that year! (1995-1996) . I also remeber being the person to rock my joints to school early.what a feeling, it kinda adds to a young mans swagger.hahaha The whole day you walk different. I eventually had to just put my pair on ice because of all the fakes that were dropin and peoples ignorence to factory varients now this sneaker I held on to is worth up to 400$ and up.most def one of my favorite sneakers of all time." - De'rek

The Retro Nike Air Raid

The Air Raid was designed by Tinker Hatfield. The Double strap system looked as if it was just for looks but it actually kept the foot very secure for basketball . The release of this sneaker coincided with Spike lee's Movie "Malcolm X" , the shoes X look lead many people to associate the two. The Air raid was first released in 1992 it was initially called the Air Jack before it hit the production line. The sneaker was re-released in 2003 and again in 2008, the sneaker in the picture can be purchased at select Nike accounts and at your local DTLR.

" I fucked with the shoe because my uncle had them back in 1993 when i was growing up and i remember him getting two pairs and busting the other pair out in late 1999 ill never forget because he let me rock them to school i ended up just balling in them and fucking them up i wish i knew what had, the color way is crazy ill, the straps the sole everything about this shoe speaks to me . the sneakers bulky white sole is impossible to not look at especially on the black sneaker my bond with this shoe is like an unknown language its really something i think only i can understand..." - Pk
