Is it just us or has it been quite a while since there was a Vandal around that was actually worth reporting on?We can’t think of any Vandals in recent memory that had really wowed us, but we have to admit we are feeling these new Vandals in a predominantly purple colorway.The colorway has been described as being mostly club purple on the upper with black accents and a white swoosh.Additionally some snakeskin like material in black and gray can be found around the toe area as well as near the laces.All in all this is a very nice colorway and a good way for Nike to remind their fans that the Vandal hasn’t gone anywhere, it was just taking a little hiatus.These are already available from select retailers overseas and should be hitting stateside in no time.Just keep checking at your local sneaker spot.

Probably the most interesting part of this new Nike Air Max+ 2009 is the fact that the sample pair is not coming in the normal size 9 like virtually every pair of samples ever release, but instead coming in a size 10.The reason for this is not known or given by Nike, but it is an interesting fact nonetheless.Moving on, this sample pair of the Air Max+ 2009 is very nice and reminds us a bit of a panda with it’s shiny black design against the clean white accents.We really hope that these will someday move themselves out of sample land and into the factory for a full run production but all we can do for that is to keep our fingers crossed.Outside of that, if you are a size 10 or can manage to get your foot into one, there are a few pairs of these available on eBay right now.

Brand Jordan didn’t miss to create another new silhouette for the Jordan Motorsports team. There have been previous releases of Motorsports exclusive that only members were lucky to have. In addition to the lineup, the Air Jordan VI is entering the sports scene. Geared up in all White leather upper with slight perforations, the Air Jordan VI comes with a Black sole and a Black set of laces. The Air Jordan label on the tongue appears in Red and Gold. Further feature includes a cement print on the inner liner, something that makes it exceptional in a way. It also bears a Jumpman logo which appears at the heel on the left shoe while the right shoe has the label number “23″. This sneaker is designed to protect the foot while engaged in a drastic action, thus enabling the shoe to grip firmly. That is why the outsole features grip points in different sizes.

Many of you may not be convinced by the Air Jordan 2 Retro “Crocodile” that was released weeks ago. However, some nice detailed shots can give you more info about the shoe. The base is done up in rich premium Brown leather while the side panel features a Brown crocodile leather. On the tongue is the Air Jordan logo and along the collar is a Red wax seal with the label “Bin 23″. Finally, the sole and shoe laces come in Black. [NiceKicks]

One more Nike high top sneaker comes in a clean colorway. The Dynasty81 which is usually covered by a Grey nubuck/leather upper presents a Black contrast as seen on the Swoosh. The rest of the shoe is a timid image that only a White midsole can break the silence. If you are fond of monochromatic-themed shoes, this Nike Dynasty81 Hi is best for you, so check it out at Finish Line. [NiceKicks]

Here is another sneaker that took inspiration from an NBA team, the Lakers. Obviously, not a part of the upper depicts the team’s colors but if you were to look at it a little closer, you can confirm that Lakers’ Purple, Gold, and White are present. Yes, the contrast stitching used on the Black upper is a Lakers thing. The midsole comes in Black/White with an icy clear outsole. [NiceKicks]
