When will Supra bring out the seemingly inevitable Skylow 3

Same story, different shoes? On Monday, Sneaker News showed you the upcoming October 2012 release of the Nike Air Flight One in Black/White and the interesting back-story and gave the an unintended infamy in the history of Michael Jordan. Before Michael borrowed Penny’s shoes, it appears that Penny dipped in MJ’s stash as we get a rare look at this Air Jordan IX Player Exclusive made for the Penny Hardaway during his rookie campaign. It features the Black/Charcoal upper like Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 the OG, but with a Royal Blue interior and Jordan branding and Penny’s ’1′ logo stitched onto the heel. These are certainly one of the rarest and most interesting PEs to ever hit the planet, and the fact that they’re game-worn and signed by Penny himself just make ‘em that much greater, and although these do resemble the upcoming ‘Photo Blue’ Retro, it’s a stretch to say that Penny Hardaway had any connection with ‘em. These are up for sale now at IMAGE NY, a sneaker consignment shop located in Queens, NY that opened one year ago, so check out these detailed shots and let us know what you think.

Puma’s Disc Blaze LTWT is the closest we’ve seen the German Cat come to matching Nike Sportswear’s enthusiasm for updating classic runners, but here’s another example of the ‘other’ Dassler brother’s brand taking more cues from NSW.  With a distinct gradient perforation that can’t be compared to all that many designs in history, Hussein Chalayan’s Puma Haast places its name alongside standouts like the Air Moire and its Air Max 90 Current hybrid.  Anthracite and Red Clay suedes ride atop silvery base layers and white/black ’80s-ish soles, and you’ll find more photos below before copping from SNS.

 

When will Supra bring out the seemingly inevitable Skylow 3?  We’ve seen lowtop versions for each of Chad Muska’s first two Crown brand signatures, but given that Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 the second one just arrived a couple months back, we’ll probably be waiting on the 3s for a good while.  Good news, then, that a new Supra Skylow 2 has just released, and even better once you take a look at the unique color scheme and material combination in use on this ‘Vintage’ Skylow 2.  These hearken back to a simpler time in sneaker design with their tonal blue mix of canvas and an extra nappy suede, while select citrus accents push this ocean blue look toward a Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 tropical finish.  Check them out in greater detail below, then grab yours straight from Supra.
 

Before the Barclays Center, before the Nets and even before New Jersey, the New York Americans got their start in 1966 with plans to play at Manhattan’s 69th Regiment Armory.  That arrangement fell through and the Americans ended up playing home games at Teaneck, New Jersey’s own armory building, followed by a name change to reflect the NY metro area.  So before they became the NJ (or even NY) Nets, the new Brooklyn babies always had their roots in the Garden State, and Teaneck’s best sneaker supplier just released their tribute to a team now long gone in more ways than one.  The Packer Shoes x adidas Originals Conductor Hi ‘NJ Americans’ dropped at Packer’s main spot on Saturday and are now available in limited numbers from Packer Shoes online, so have a closer look below but don’t linger too long or they’ll be all gone.
