Surprisingly, the majority of you expressed that you are not enthused by the ongoing vulcanized hoopla after viewing our Vulcanized Sole: Fashion Forward or Falling Flat?. However, if you are one of those that welcome the vulcanized look, the Nike Match Classic will be available tomorrow, November 21st, at 21 Mercer St.

One pair features an all-black suede base with a red inner lining, while the other pair owns a 100% red suede base combined with a yellow inner lining. Both sneakers are also equipped with a vintage-like, white vulcanized sole, monochromatic shoelaces and a minuscule, white Nike swoosh on the side panel. As stated earlier, both colorways will be available at 21 Mercer St. tomorrow. Click here to view detailed photos.

Sneaker lovers have seen their fair share of kicks featuring a wheat colorway such as the Nike RT1, the Supra Skytop, and the adidas Forum just to name a few. Yet, this this Air Force 1 may be one of the best ever.

Nike originally released these in 2001. Many people fell in love as soon as they saw the rich wheat suede. The suede upper rests on a wheat midsole. In addition, this shoe is also finished with a dark mocha bottom and a matching dark mocha inner lining. Could this Air Force 1 have played a part in the inspiration to Nelly’s ode to Air Force 1s that came a year later? The world may never know. However, click here to let us know your feelings on these. Did you purchase or pass?

After showing you photo after photo of the four major Jordan Brand holiday releases, we now have finally made it to the release date of one of them. Tomorrow, November 21st, 2009, Jordan Brand will release the Air Jordan 12 Retro “Rising Sun”.

As evident by the striped design seen on the side panels, this particular Air Jordan 12 draws inspiration from Japan’s rising sun flag. It features a 100% white leather base with minimal varsity red accents along the tongue and heel. In addition, JB will also unleash the Air Jordan Fusion 13 in which many of you bashed upon seeing the preliminary photos. As stated earlier, check your nearest sneaker retailers for both pairs tomorrow. Click here to view detailed photos.

This year, the majority of the Jordan Brand NBA players have graced the hardwood wearing the Air Jordan 16.5 (see our Air Jordan 16.5 Performance Review) and the Jordan Hallowed Ground. However, check out today’s Kicks On Court to see Antonio McDyess, a non-Jordan Brand member, sporting a Jordan sneaker we never thought we’d see on the court.

In a losing effort against the Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs power forward Antonio McDyess laced up a newly-designed silhouette in the form of the Jordan Flipsyde. Its color scheme is obviously inspired by the Taxi Air Jordan 12. The Flipsyde is a sneaker we never thought we’d see on the hardwood seeing that it possesses a peculiar, outdoor type of feel to it. What are your thoughts on the Jordan Flipsyde model? Click here to view the Flipsyde plus other kicks worn by Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and others.

Habitat Skateboards has been producing skate decks and gear for some time now. But for 2010, they’re stepping into the footwear market and launching their first line of shoes. Four silhouettes are currently planned, using the traditional skate aesthetic with some nice designs of their own.

Three of the four use white vulcanized soles, with two being low-tops and the other a mid, which uses a grey upper accented with green throughout. The lows mix either brown and blue or black and turquoise, and feature slightly different panels on the uppers. The fourth pair in the park, which we believe to be called the Lark, looks accustomed for hiking, as it features a tough, multi-color sole and a grey and black upper.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available, and look for the new line to release in February of 2010.
