Air Jordan XIV – Eddie Jones Memphis Home PE.

Air Jordan XIV   Eddie Jones Memphis Home PE

Vin Baker’s Jumpman Pro Strong just got a retro release, and here’s a look at another Jordan Brand sneaker from one of their OG endorsement team. After his signatures from the late ’90s, Eddie Jones rocked several different Air Jordan franchise models, including this Air Jordan XIV PE from his time as a Memphis Grizzly. These are the ’stitched’ style AJXIVs, with lines of perforations running parallel to monochromatic stitching on the white leather side panels. ‘EJ’ embroidery on the inner ankle lets you know these are legit NBA PEs from a time when you couldn’t get them at, say, House of Hoops. A dope look for any Air Jordan completist, these are available slightly used in EJ’s size 13 from sole_supreme on eBay.

Style: JBM311 M39 C1

New Air Jordan II (2) T-Shirt + More From Vandal-A.

New Air Jordan II (2) T Shirt + More From Vandal A

So far in 2010, Jordan Brand has brought us a non-stop flow of Retro releases and Vandal-A has been right there, putting in some serious overtime to keep up. We’ve recently seen fresh new Vandal-A shirts to coincide with some high profile JB releases like the AJKO’s and Oreo VI’s, and with the OG colorway of the Air Jordan II set to hit stores this weekend, it’s only fitting that the classic shoe gets its very own matching tee as well. Inspired by MJ’s Air Jordan II-propelled 1987 Slam Dunk Contest victory, the new shirt sports a black and white image of Michael soaring through the air with the background cleverly cut away to create the shape of the number 2.

In addition to the Air Jordan II shirt, Vandal-A has also just released their own take on the iconic N.W.A. logo, substituting the letter “N” with the one from the Nike font and a backwards “NIKE4LIFE” graphic below it. Also available is a metallic foil printed Copper edition of the Foamposite beetle design that we have previously seen for the Eggplants, so if you still haven’t found the right match for your Coppers, look no further. Keep reading to check out the tees and if you like what you see, all three are available at Vandal-A, with the Jordan 2 shirt also in stock at Packer Shoes.

Reebok Insta Pump Fury 2010.

Reebok Insta Pump Fury 2010

Reebok’s been busy all over the place; earlier this year Zig Tech was launched, the Pump 20th Anniversary caused some noise, and John Wall was recently added to its endorsement team. It seems as if Reebok has a ton of food on its plate, but the ‘Bok’s been hungry! Here’s something to chew on for a bit – the Reebok Insta Pump Fury 2010. It’s an updated take on the classic Reebok running shoe from the 90’s, as it sheds its previous cyborg-esque midsole for one that displays more flowing lines in a tighter package. It shouldn’t take you more than three seconds for it to remind you of the Nike Free midsole, but the one on this new Reebok features a wider base and smaller grooves. The upper stays similar to the OG, but opts for a much smaller toe-cap, large ventilation holes, and a seemingly two-piece construction. Check out the extra images after the jump and let us know what you think. via Provider.

Probus NYC x DC Shoes Admiral Sport ‘Probot’.

Probus NYC x DC Shoes Admiral Sport Probot

DC Shoes LIFE Collection is anchored by the appropriately named Admiral hightop. It’s been a staple for the past couple years, so DC has decided to add a little twist. Set to be unveiled at a public event at ProbusNYC, the DC Shoes Admiral Sport will debut in its ‘Probot’ pack with the new ankle strap. That’s probably the first thing you’ll notice, but a closer look reveals a revamped silhouette that’s all at once brand new and totally beholden to the Admiral. If you’re in the area, head over to Probus tomorrow, Thursday, March 18th at 7pm.

Alife Everybody High   Lux Pack

Everybody, move your feet and feel united o-o-ooh! Junior Senior had a minor hit in 2003 with ‘Move Your Feet’, but ALIFE has been considerably less of a flash in the pan. A good portion of this ascention from burgeoning boutique brand to worldwide distribution and reknown is due to the Nike Dunk-like Everybody series, which is back in a trio of new colorways befitting the current state of streetwear.

You can choose from red, white or black, which means that you’re covered for your entire wardrobe, or possibly your mood on any given day.
