Here’s my annual Christmas Kicks List. I hope @Springcart’s paying attention!

Undefeated X Converse Poorman Weapon – $200

Undefeated offers a detailed look into their latest Poorman Weapon capsule with Converse. The high top sneaker was once again inspired by the classic MA-1 flight jacket, with a nylon upper, orange lining and velcro details. A matching grey MA-1 jacket, and flight bag will be released along with the sneaker on Grey Friday – November 26, 2010.

Solebox X adidas Equipment Support

Solebox has announced the release date of its latest collaborative sneaker, the adidas Equipment Support. Originally slated to land in 2011, this sneaker sports a slick grey and white upper with a black quarter panel and tongue, and will actually release on December 11th. Red hits can be seen throughout, including on the “Solebox” and “Support” dubraes. At the Berlin release of this shoe, a special foldable backpack will be issued with each purchase.

Air Jordan 1 Anondized Cranberry – $260

The Air Jordan 1 which was infused with the foamposite technology is now called the Anodized, and carrying the same “Cranberry” code similar to that of the Nike Air Foamposite Cranberry, it possesses a varsity red (or sometimes called cranberry) upper. With this composition, the Swoosh appears in an embedded condition while the Air Jordan wings insignia continues to soar along the collar. Hints of black and white are present on the tongue, inner liner, and midsole while icy blue outsole breaks the neutral mode.

Nike 1/2 Cent Cranberry – $190

Officially styled in Varsity Red/Black-Varsity Red, the hybrid Penny model is set to release Saturday, December 18th.

Air Jordan 13 Black/Voltage Cherry

The Air Jordan XIII GS above in black and Voltage Cherry combines the two playoff AJXIIIs and adds a playful, if feminine twist with the cherry red shade instead of your typical Varsity offering. It’s a great way to treat your young sneakerheads and/or lovely ladies, and a chance for them to get the spring/summer 1998 look before either of the other XIIIs hits retail. These are scheduled to drop later this year as part of Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2010 collection, but the insiders over at VMVinc already have a few sizes available for pre-order and ready to ship by the end of the month.

I’ve seen some cold white/white kicks lately, so I decided to do a weekly series featuring my faves. Every summer, you get invited to a white/white party, where you need to pull together your flyest outfit and shine. Here’s a few options to elevate your game:

UBIQ White/White Fatima Perf – $100
These are a great alternative to the heavy Timbs. You get the look with a vulcanized soul. Very Clean.

Converse All Star Leather Hi – $64.99
Leather Chucks with a completely white/white look, timeless. Take 15% off these at Footlocker when you spend $99. Use promo code LKS196C9

Supra White/White Muska Skytop – $100
The Skytop seems to be the new hi of choice. It’s nice to see it sans all of the colors and patterns. You can really appreciate the look of the silhouette. Take 20% off of these at Karmaloop when you use promo code: PR33844

That’s it for now…Let me know what you think.

Every sneaker collection starts small. Mine started when I was about 10 years old. There was my first pair of blue and black suede pumas…then the white, red and blue Reebok classics…My first pair of chucks (grey with baby pink laces), and so on…Of course, I went on to have the coolest sneaker head job ever, and my collection swelled to as many as 500 pairs. But, in the end, it’s not how many pairs you have, but which pairs are the most coveted. You can have 5 pair of shoes and have a killer collection, as long as you have the right 5 pairs. These are my pics, not in any particular order, and not any particular shoe. (That would be a reeeeealllly long discussion.) I’m just going for the categories with this one. Let me know if you agree.

1. Classic White/White Sneaker (Usually an adidas Superstar or Nike Air Force 1, but lately, I’ve found a lot of nice options like the Ubiq Fatima Perforated)

2. High Performance Shoe (Running or Basketball will do, Think Adidas or Nike.)

3. Sneaker Boutique Exclusive Colorway (Something you will not find in the Slauson Swapmeet, footlocker or the mall, period. Think Undefeated, Proper, Huf)

4. Air Jordans in any style (Not team Jordan or any of the other Jordan brand styles. I’m talking AIR JORDAN)

5. Slip Ons (Usually Vans, but these days, Supra, Creative Recreation and a few others make a nice option)
