There is no question that the original, varsity royal/black colorway of the Nike 1/2 Cent garnered more attention than any of this model’s subsequent colorways. However, was the original colorway the best? A year ago, Nike unleashed the “Eggplant” Nike 1/2 Cent, a sneaker that also soaked up attention when it hit the shelves. The eggplant color scheme has proven to intrigue sneaker enthusiasts no matter what model it captures, and this 1/2 Cent is a testament of that (see our Purple Stuff: Nike’s 14 “Eggplant” Sneakers).

Did you purchase the Nike 1/2 Cent “Eggplant” and was it worth the money you paid for it? If not, are you wishing you had snagged it last fall? How does the “Eggplant” colorway compare to the other Nike 1/2 Cent colorways (“Cranberry”, Varsity Royal, Metallic Silver)? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Nike releases of 2010? Share with us your thoughts on the Nike 1/2 Cent “Eggplant” in the comment section below.

They have really been a great inspiration in the classic sneaker market from the past and luckily for us they are still releasing these shoes today for us to enjoy. What is even better though is usually when they release these shoes again they will give us some sort of incentive to make them worth a purchase all over again.

Christian Hosoi has definitely seen his fair share of ups and downs over the course of his career, but you can go ahead and file his latest collection for Vans under the former. A long time Vans representative, Hosoi put together this Sk8-Hi Pro twosome with simple builds. The Navy/White and Black/Black shoes feature the upgraded fare used on Pros, including DURACAP reinforcement and a softer footbed. Look for both in stores soon.

Throughout 2011, we have witnessed a number of vibrant, brightly colored Nike Air Max JR colorways; however, now that Nike is in fall/winter mode, some of our favorite silhouettes will be released in subtle schemes. Tomorrow, October 22, 2011, Nike will release the simple yet stylish black/white-black Nike Air Max JR. It specifically possesses a primarily black nubuck base with multiple sections of mesh throughout the upper (side panels). A contrast of white shows up in the form of Nike/Ken Griffey Jr. branding, while a black midsole and full-length Air bag finish this shoe off. The Nike Air Max JR Black/White-Black is actually available at the Nice Kicks store, online or by phone (512.320.8100) now.

Just want to buy a pair of Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Russel Westbrook & Rajon Rondo Away PEs right now? Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Russel Westbrook & Rajon Rondo Away PEs.

With the Nike Hyper lineup being responsible for more PE sneakers than any other sneakers combined in the year of 2010, you didn’t think they were just going to let all of that stop as soon as 2011 rolled around did you? Of course not, as Nike has never been one to give the fans something that they like only to take it away later. In this new year we have seen Nike to continue to keep pushing out new PE versions of their sneakers and we are going to be taking a look at the latest ones today. This is the new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Russel Westbrook & Rajon Rondo Away PEs.

Each of these shoes definitely bring something different to the table and which one you pick will probably depend more on your allegiance to the player rather than the colorway itself.

Purchase your own pair of Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Russel Westbrook & Rajon Rondo Away PEs right now!

Yesterday, we relayed to you news regarding a Europe release date on the “Black Flip” Air Jordan 3 (December 3, 2011). Stateside release information may surface soon; however, until then, we now have new, detailed images of this intriguing colorway of MJ’s third signature model. Unlike most of the Air Jordan 3 colorways which feature cement print on the toe and heel areas, this “Black Flip” pair sees monochromatic, black cement print throughout the midfoot, collar and side panels. The rest of the shoe is also colored in black with perforated leather on parts of the tongue and textured leather on the toe cap and heel.
