We can expect a handful of colorways to release of the Air Jordan 6IX (Six) Rings, and we present to you another, which features a Black and Gold color scheme. As we can see, the Air Jordan 6IX (Six) Rings Black / Gold features a dominate Black with Gold stitching and other accents. Additional information coming soon, big thanks to our friend Jason.

This Nike Air Classic BW Premium “Newark Eagles” has arrived at Fuctard. One pair costs 14,800 Yen. The toe box is white and has the Newark name printed in classy handwriting. The shoe lace region is in dark blue/black. The tongue is in blue. It has red accents in the Nike logo that is on the top tab of the tongue. This shoe is colorful. The main colorway is white but there are a few colored leather panels. It has a border of red-orange that goes around the shoe. The Nike swoosh is blue and complements the tongue. From the picture, it is seen that the colored and white parts of the shoe are cleverly designed to allow the maximum play of colors. The sneaker looks colorful in this way.

The Nike Air Max 1 “US Limited” looks good. This shoe will only be released in the US. It costs 12, 800 Yen for 1 pair. It has a black and white colorway and a large panel of silver leather in its midsection. The black and white color scheme is a classic. The toe box is white and the whole shoe is enveloped in a perimeter of black leather. The black tongue with woven material had black shoe laces to complement its look. I prefer this pair of shoes.

I came across the Wolfhog Dunk customs shown above when searching through the work of Ras Martin, aka RastheBuilder. The designer’s artistic sensibility brings to mind the original cartoon adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” The Wolfhog depicted on the outer part of the left shoe looks like it will leap out from the leather. The outer right side has an image of a part-wolf, part-human carrying a large sword that looks like part of a transformation from man to beast. The deliberate brush strokes and colors used on every image shows the care given to these custom sneakers.

The detail on the cartoon figures is aided by Martin’s creative use of the Nike swoosh. A portion of each swoosh is used on the wolfhog’s tusks and the giant sword of the partially transformed man. This inclusion of original elements of the shoe into an intricate design is the hallmark of a great customizer. I suggest checking out RastheBuilder’s MySpace page linked here to compare the Wolfhog Dunks to other works.

Last month we showed you some interesting colorways of the Nike Mad Jibe. Now two new colorways of Nike’s boat shoe - the Mad Jibe - have been released. These shoe feature contrasting stitching and leather laces. The new colors are Dark Brown and Blue.

The Dunk sole is used on these shoes, and the results are surprisingly good. If you are looking for a sporty summer shoe and want a new twist on the typical shoe, check these out. These Nike Mad Jibes are available now at Proper.

Personally I like the blue shoe, but the brown one can work with a variety of clothes, including jeans, shorts and khaki Dockers. Via High Snobiety.

In a previous post, we stated that the Air Jordan Flight 23 would release in four different colorways on May 10th 2008, and here is another pair featuring White / Metallic Silver - White.

A very easy match, the Air Jordan Flight 23 White / Metallic Silver - White can go with almost any jersey, and a great purchase for off the courts. If you want this pair now, they are available on eBay.

Four new colorways will release May 10th 2008 of the Air Jordan Flight 23. As you can see, the Jordan Flight 23 takes inspiration from the Air Jordan 4 (IV). Another repetitious act by Jordan Brand, they release different models to resemble a big launch (the Jordan Force Fusion 5 will release in a almost identical color scheme).

The Air Jordan Flight 23 pictured contains a White / Metallic Silver - Stealth - Orange Peel color way. Although, this pair might be hard to match, Jordan Brand should release some matching clothing, but for the Jordan Force 5. Available now on eBay.

Last month, first pictures of the St. Pauli FC x Nike pack surfaced and displayed the German’s team in the form of two Dunks, one Low and one High. The Dunk Low features white as its base color accented by premium materials including an ostrich leather swoosh and embossed details on the mid-panel.

Furthermore, the team’s logo can be seen on the tongue. The other pair from the pack is the black High top version which also features premium materials similar to its counterpart and a skull is printed in the middle of the shoe. Overkill has reported that they will be selling both models on May 30th, 2008.

Earlier today, we reported the Stash x Nike Air Force 1 High collaboration, but it seems that they continue to work together and that is evident with this new package created by Stash, Recon, and Nike.

Entitled the AF-X Pack, shoes and other items are to be sold side by side including the Camo Air Force 1 Mid, Nike BioNXX backpack, laptop case, gadget pouch, camera pouch and phone case. This collaboration package will be limited to three sets and will be sold only at the Recon.

Graffiti legend Stash and Nike have joined forces once again to collaborate on the Air Force 1 High. The last time these two met, it produced one of the most rarest and sought after Nike Air Force 1’s to ever be created. It was very limited and ultimately re-released at the Nike One Night Only event.

This time around, the main color is black and is combined with a design on the mid-panel and on the strap. In addition, a reptile print is seen at the front and back of the shoe. Stay posted for more news. Via Recon.

Here’s a look at two new hybrid releases from Nike. The Wildwood 90 Free Trail has been one of Nike’s more popular hybrid releases and now they have designed two models that have been described as rare Asia colors.

The two colors available are black and Grey, the grey model features a splatter design while the black is paired with green and pink. Overall they are pretty solid for hybrid releases and are now available at Overkill.

Nike’s Terminator gets the color pack treatment in the form of three new Terminator Highs. Featured is light blue/blue, green/light green and red/yellow. Furthermore, a safari print can be seen at the back heel. Also, it has been rumored that the colors chosen in this pack represent the five Olympic rings that symbolize the five continents. We’ll keep you posted with more updates. Via Kenlu.

Here’s a look at some new models from Puma that are a bit on the higher end. First up is the Puma Revolution MY-33 designed by Mihara Yasuhiro. The MY-33 has been inspired by the design of classic bowling shoes and combines a red leather inner half and a violet blue and red suede outside.

In addition, the tongue and sole are two-parted and are definitely something different from Puma. Next, is a shoe that celebrates the fabrics of Rudolf Dassler. This sneaker is described as high, slimp and features eyecatching deigns. Furthermore, high quality textiles with silver, yellow and lilac lines can also be seen on the shoe. Both are now available at Overkill Shop.

Check out the new Nike Anthracite Pack. This pack has three different types of shoes that all look quite nice - a Blazer High, Air Max LTD and Vandal Low. The Blazer High was recently worn by Jay-Z at a concert in California. High quality detail, multiple textures and a good mix of colors are staples of each type of shoe in this pack.

While each sneaker has a slightly different color scheme, a lot of whites, grays and reds are utilized to create a laidback yet stylish look. Each Nike swoosh is either white or silver and is laid over a darker background. In 2008, laidback and casual shoes have be a favorite for many. These shoes are another example of that trend.
