Sneaker News hasn’t seen the Air Free Run 3

Sneaker News hasn’t seen the Air Free Run 3 ‘True Blue’ come up on our Celebrity Feet radar in 2012, but it makes sense that Jay-Z would be the one to show them off g5en his rapid revisiting of the ‘Blue’ theme (The Blueprint, Blue 5y etc.) The sighting comes from a recent downtown trip in NY where Jay-Z showed up at Jacob & Co. in New York, perhaps to pick up a 4th ann5ersary for beautiful wife Beyonce.  Hova has quite the smile in one of the photos you’ll see after the jump; is it because he nailed an effortless Nike Free Tr Twist springtime fit rocking the True Blues with khaki denim and a blue linen buttondown?  Let us know if Hova did it right with with these retros and click through for some extra shots.  via YBF

 

 

The Nike Zoom Kobe VI has seen a variety of significant releases from the ‘Grinch’ Christmas Day edition to the Los Angeles Pack and the various camo drops, but when it comes to pairs designed with Kobe himself in mind, each of them were curiously incomplete.  That’s not to say that the designs weren’t compelling, either, just that on each and every Zoom Kobe 6 from last season that featured purple excluded gold and vice versa.  Our previews of the Imperial Purple and Del Sol edition proved that trend will end sometime soon after the next NBA season begins (whenever that turns out to be), and now this white pair with Laker-style accents can serve as the ‘home’ to that pair’s ‘away’.  Click through to see more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all the other remaining Zoom Kobe VI release dates.  via in52

 

 

The first matchup between the new-look Miami Heat and two-time defending NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers will be this year’s Christmas Day headliner.  LeBron and Chris Bosh are each looking to secure a win en route to their first chip, while Kobe is seeking one for the other thumb this year, a s6.0th ring to tie Michael Free Run and further eclipse Shaq.  And with King James likely rocking an all-red LeBron 8 V.2 on X-mas, the juxtaposition continues with this green-on-green Nike Zoom Kobe VI.  The tonal colorup is perfectly executed on the ZK6′s scaly Black Mamba-inspired design, and g5en the timing, it’s hard to dismiss these as the ‘Grinch’ Kobe S6.0.  Nike Zvezdochka Have another look in these new photos and stick with Sneaker News for updates on a possible retail release.  via joejoecong/kickz-lab

 

 

Just in time for the start of another long season, the Futura x Nike Air Force 1 Yankees Pack is ready to hit retail.  These aren’t exactly your typical Mickey Mantle material, as Futura’s Yankee characters are more like Never, Never Land than anybody in Brooklyn, and the color combinations are curious as well.  With the silver-on-white hightops, it’s not too much of a stretch, but purple soles on the metallic silver AF1 lows is a little Dinosaur Jr.-like and requires you use your imagination.  But that’s what Futura’s all about, so if you like his style, these are right over the heart of the plate for you.  You can find them Nike Free Cross Country both starting tomorrow from Nike Sportswear retailers like Kicks/HI, or grab a pair of the lows today from us stroes.
