Medicom x Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium TZ ‘Bearbrick 10th Anniversary’

Ever wonder who started making those vinyl toys popular? Well, wonder no more. Medicom Toy Company was the first to create those little plastic vinyl and they were given away as souvenir and were not meant to create the craze that followed in years after that. But now, the name Medicom is parallel to vinyl toys. Everywhere you look, there are vinyl toys. But being the pioneer, theirs' are still the most sought after by collectors.

Nike on the other hand is synonymous with everything that is cutting edge and all about being the best. So what better way that to collaborate with Medicom once again to create this hairy looking Air Force Ones in two different colors.  The Medicom Toy Company x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Bearbrick Version’of course is going to be highly sought after like their vinyl and so far no word on a US release, but Japan release is soon. via Cliff Edge

Nike LeBron 9 - "China" - releasing December 17, 2011

One of the most anticipated release this holiday season was the Nike LeBron 9 "Cannon" that came out last Friday December 2nd, 2011. Now that those are done and out, we can look forward to the NEXT hot release in the LeBron Calendar which is the Nike LeBron 9 "China". This particular colorway was released earlier in October only for the LeBron fans in China. Only after the successful release of the "Cannon" we now have confirmation that the "China" is releasing in the United States on December 17, 2011. So this month, EVERY weekend there will be a hot release until Christmas. Cannon this past weekend along with the Jordan Retro 3 "Black Flip", this coming weekend is the KD IV "Weatherman" at House of Hoops locations (no words whether Niketowns will be getting them) and the week after that these badboys and the KD IV NERF are dropping on Dec 17. Then the Retro 11 "Concords" will top the before Christmas madness. Of course the day after Christmas we will see more madness as the X-Mas shoes for Kobe, Bron & KD will drop. WHEW. Thinking about all of these releases is making me even MORE thirsty for them.

Corona x Supra Cuttler - Only 200 pairs available?

It features a mainly white canvas SupraTUF upper with minimal blue and gold hints throughout the base. An emblazoned Corona bottle appears on the inside of the tongue and a full-length Corona Extra bottle is spotted under the transparent sole. Additionally, both sides incorporated a lime wedge hang tag/bottle opener. Sadly, the Corona x Supra Cuttler, which was created to the tune of 200 pairs, is not available to the public.

Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 – Andre Iguodala ‘Stockbroker’ PE

I don't know how you get "Stockbroker" from this Nike Zoom Hyperfuse, but that's what the 99% are calling it. This special PE for the 'other' AI, Andre Iguodala was inspired by AI's second career choice if he wasn't ballin' in the NBA. I am sure they had this planned before the occupy wall street crown started their protest, otherwise, I doubt Iggy would've said stockbroker. But then again, he is in the upper tax bracket so maybe he can just say whatever. Let me know if you see stockbroker when you see this Hyperfuse, cause I honestly don't. Images via Solemovement.

Nike Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme - "The Blake Show" Quickstike

The reigning NBA dunk champ, Blake Griffin will enter his 2nd season as a healthy NBA player for the lowly Los Angeles Clippers. (He sat out his rookie year due to injury) Since, this kid is well known for his dunks so it just made sense for him to endorse Nike's team basketball shoe, the Nike Hyperdunk. His 'dunk contest" edition released earlier this summer to a great reception from Clippers fan and sneakerheads. Heck even this random dude I met said he loved the shoe without knowing they were PE's of the Blake Show. So not only it is a great basketball shoe, they look pretty stylish rocked with jeans as well.

Soon to release is another PE of Blake's Nike Hyperdunk 2011, inspired by Blake's aspirations of becoming a radio talk show personality. But since the NBA is set to start on Christmas day, we are glad we don't have to bother with Blake the talk show host personality for at least until he retires, which is probably after the next lockout.

adidas adiZero Rose 2 “Windy City,” Derrick Rose’s Christmas Shoe

I am glad I live in the CHI. Yeah we have horrible winters, it's mostly cloudy even in the summertime, when it gets cold, it gets C-O-L-D, but hey, we have a great lakefront and of course we have the Chicago Bulls and Derrick Rose, the reigning NBA MVP. And now, at least we will have the NBA back starting Christmas Day. Too bad the Bulls won't be opening their NBA season at home at the United Center. They'll be out in Los Angeles basking in the warm sun to play the Los Angeles Lakers and their superstar, Kobe Bryant. Of course we still awaits the Kobe Christmas shoe, but D.Rose's Christmas kicks have surfaced for a few weeks now and it's not just this one version, there will be an alternate version AKA The "Gucci" shoe.
But the main Derrick Rose adidas adiZero Rose 2.0 for Christmas will be this one, featuring an all red upper black heels, white and red sole with hints of Chicago Blue and the letter "L" on the back that takes inspiration from the Chicago transit blue line train. Now, I know D.Rose doesn't have to take the Blue Line EVER again, but at least he can look like he is in this shoe. D.Rose AdiZero Rose 2.0 is set to release December 15.
