We bring to you yet ANOTHER House of Hoops exclusive that released on Saturday August 30th at their Harlem location. Continuing the trend, they decided to release another classic basketball shoe. The Foamposite One was chosen for this joyous occasion. The upper is black, like most of the shoe. Dark Army was used mainly on the translucent sole but can also been seen elsewhere.

If you are a fan of the Pump and looking for a training shoe, these sneakers that are releasing in November are a good bet. The Reebok AXT Side Pump Trainers feature the Pump technology and Hexalite cushioning system for performance and comfort.

These kicks come in two colorways. The orange shoe features yellow and black accents for a bold look – too bad it will be too late for Halloween with these colors. The black version is highlighted with green and purple. The Reebok AXT Side Pump Trainers will be available at select Reebok dealers for $110 USD. Via Hypebeast.

The pictures show the new Adidas ZX 9000 and Adidas ZX 7000. Each pair costs 119,00 EUR at The Good Will Out website. The ZX 9000 is the off-white model and the ZX 7000 is the black/anthracite colorway.

Let’s look at the ZX 7000. The toe box is covered in a mesh network. Over this, there are a few small panels of black leather. This design looks good because the mesh looks like a protective covering for the toe box. The shoe lace region is unique. It starts with 2 sets of holes on an outer reinforcement. The middle portion of the strip of shoe lace holes is set on anthracite-grey colored leather. The shoe lace has a line of machine stitching down its center. The midsection of the shoe is in black fabric. Over this, the three traditional stripes of Adidas are attached. The heel has a cap of the same design as the toe box. Over this, a black brace is attached. The midsole has 5 ridges as a decorative design below the toe box. At the heel, lines are etched into the midsole. The Adidas leaf logo is at the tip of the tongue.

The Adidas ZX 9000 has the same features as the ZX 7000. The colors used are white and off-white. I prefer the shoe with the color, ie, the ZX 7000.

The cold weather will be here before you know it and Puma is prepared with their First Round “Deer.”This shoe features a fur lining and a wood pattern throughout the upper.

The highlight of the shoe is the deer photo screen print on the side. If you are looking for a winter shoe, these are definitely a unique choice. Laces come in white and fluorescent orange. You can get the Puma First Round “Deer” right now at Overkill for just under $170 USD. Via High Snobiety.

I found the latest shoes offered by Chrisco on his Nike Talk post linked here. One of my favorite shoes over the last year writing for MyAirShoes was Chrisco’s Stormtrooper customs. His New Balance Crackles may not have the retro appeal of the Stormtroopers but they are great to look at nonetheless.

You can see hints of the gray suede 574s in the toes as well as the back panels. Chrisco added faded black cracks on the gray suede that vary from solid lines to barely visible gaps. Plenty of designers use cracks and gaps on their shoes but Chrisco seems to have bypassed these artists in terms of planning and execution.

Chrisco did not stop at black cracks when designing these Crackle customs. The tongue logo is a closed fist with a green lightning bolt that looks great against the black leather. Chrisco also used neon green laces that contrast greatly with the simple gray suede. I am a big fan of the Crackle 574s even after Chrisco set the bar high with his last pair of customs.

Though San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will likely miss the start of the NBA season with an ankle injury, Nike looks to be releasing a new Dunk Low inpired by Ginobili. Ginobili re-injured his ankle in the Olympics when playing for the Argentina national team and is expected to undergo surgery.

This sneaker comes in a black, white and grey colorway and features five silhouettes of Manu’s signature moves on the heel. Not much information is available on these shoes but they appear to be a sample. As more details becomes available, we’ll be sure to let you know. Via Nike SB.
