I’m a true 80’s kid, so when I saw this, I spazzed out! If you’re not a member of Jackthreads, get familiar quick! You’ll thank me later…This week, they’ve got authentic Member’s Only!

I came across these via theshoebuff.com and fell in love. I like the look, the materials…They are simply fly.

Greedy Genius has given us a great look at their upcoming colorways in the ‘Ocean Runner’ high-top model. The Red, Black, and Tan versions all take a couture approach to a street wear model. Combining the comfort and trend of a high-top with style-oriented materials, such as textured and embossed leather, and waxed laces, these shoes give all the freshness you could ask for, with the look and feel of a well worn baseball glove. Available mid May through select Greedy Genius retailers.

The last of three Air Trainer SC’s to hit Foot Locker is arriving now (earlier arrivals included the black/grey and OG white/grey/stealth). You can pick up the white/grey/beet at select stores starting today, and more pairs should continue to flow in this week.

The Air Trainer SC was made famous in the early 90’s by Bo Jackson, legendary multisport athlete who played in the NFL and MLB. His athletic diversity was the perfect match for a cross-training shoe, and the Nike “Bo Knows” ad campaign around the shoe became just as famous as the shoe itself.

The Air Jordan XII Flu Game is now available at footlocker.com and Foot Locker stores.

This version is a tribute to the legendary game in 1997 when MJ dropped 38 points while battling the Flu. The classic image of MJ leaning on Scottie Pippen after the game is very familiar to hoops fans. Unlike the original AJ XII Black/Red, this version’s upper is made of rich black suede. The OG version read TWO3 down the tongue while this version reads 97 38 with a sick face in the middle. That same logo that represents the year and points scored is displayed on the heel.

At thirty years old, the adidas Top Ten High is going strong. Wednesday we previewed the Top Ten High in Air Force Blue/White, scheduled to hit Foot Locker stores next month. Today we show you another colorway dropping in December – Black/Collegiate Red.

Like the Top Ten in Air Force Blue/White, patent leather is used on the padded collar, toe cap and eyestay areas. The outsole has the original herring-bone design and the upper stripes have the same textured look and feel.

But this Top Ten Hi in Black/Collegiate Red features more of its secondary color than the Air Force Blue/White version, giving it a little more pop. The laces and outsole are entirely red, and red is utilized on the collar trim, three upper strips and midsole logo. Red is also incorporated into the “Top Ten” name on the tongue design.

This colorway still maintains the simple, clean look that made this shoe a classic. To get a better look, head over to the Gallery for more pics.

After ten years, the Tai Chi Mid is back. The Tai Chi reached legendary status after the 2000 NBA Dunk Contest and by 2002, it was being worn by nearly 20% of the NBA. Holding onto the same classic style and adding a few new design enhancements, the Tai Chi is returning balance back to the city parks and NBA hardwood.

It’s in select Foot Lockers across the U.S. Check out and1.com to find a Foot Locker location in your area and return balance to your game, or grab it online now. More shots of the Tai Chi Mid in the Gallery.

In 1979, adidas debuted the revolutionary Top Ten basketball shoe. Designed with help from future Hall of Famer Rick Barry, its name came from being endorsed by the “Top Ten” professional basketball players in the US including fellow future Hall of Famers Bob Lanier and Adrian Dantley. Thirty years after its introduction, the Top Ten lives on as a classic shoe with fresh new colorways like Air Force Blue/White, hitting stores in December.

The new Top Ten High in Air Force Blue/White maintains all the elements of the shoe’s original performance-based design. The collar is padded for extra ankle support. The outsole has a herring-bone pattern and serrated edges for traction and flexibility. And the vamp is perforated for breathability.

Unlike the original, this shoe features perforated patent leather on the collar and toe cap, plain patent leather on the eyestay, and a textured, paint-splatter effect on the upper’s trademark three stripes. Only the white stripes, collar trim, and tongue markings break up the shoes all blue exterior.

Jermaine O’Neal has been wearing his new player exclusive Nike Blue Chip II on the court this season, and you can get a crack at these kicks soon when they hit House of Hoops locations.

It has a black/red leather/patent upper, with white contrast stitching creating a quilted effect on the leather. A signature interlocked “J” “O” “7″ is stitched into the heel, displaying Jermaine’s initials and jersey number. The midsole is red, with a visible air unit in the heel. Check your closest House of Hoops to pick these up.

PT’s Note: I’m feeling these! I can see the influence of the Air Force 1 and Jordan (can’t remember which one, but the one that looks like a quilt. lol. Not my favorite, but I would cop…
