You knew it was coming. Given the trend set by Jordan brand in 2011 with the IIIs we all expected a ton of the classic IVs to return in 2012. Word is out that one of the most popular Jordan’s of all time will hit retailers in November 2012, presumably on Black Friday. The Jordan Black Cement IV is a shoe that just says Michael Jordan to me. Its one of the first shoes I always think of when I first think of the brand. Featuring all over black with red and cement grey highlights these just scream Bulls. Given the constant hype that has been being built by Nike this year I am sure these will be a tough cop. More news to come as official images drop later in the year but take a look at a taste below.

 

In a surprise twist a new colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 popped up on Nike Talk yesterday. Featuring an all purple upper with red and voltish highlighting these are an interesting look for the most highly anticipated shoe of the year. The cubic gold lace aglets are an interesting look as well. These have an almost Christmas 2011 Kobe feel to them. Only time will tell if this is a sample or an official colorway. What do you think?

The hype continues to grow for the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy 2. Jay-Z was seen courtside at the Nets game last night wearing the Black/Solar Red colorway of the instant classic people are already camping out for ahead of an actual release date. There have been rumors that these are coming soon and also rumors of a delayed release to produce more pairs and avoid the Galaxy Foam craziness. Given the popularity of both Nike right now and Kanye, I don’t think Beaverton could make enough pairs to avoid the madness. Take a look at the pic below for more. Don’t have an “in” with Yeezy like Sean Carter? Comment how you plan to cop your Yeezys!

Tomorrow night/Saturday morning Jordan brand breaks out another classic for some. The Jordan XIV Candy Cane as its known will hit Nikestore and online retailers like Footlockerat at midnight eastern. Reportedly more limited than the previously released Jordan X Chicago that sold out almost instantly it will be interesting to see how these move. This model was the last model ever worn by the GOAT before his retirement 1999. Designed by Tinker Hatfield as usual the inspiration was Mike’s Ferrari at the time and the shoe features a similar shape and feel to the Italian sports cars. I tend to gravitate more towards earlier models of Jordans but from a performance aspect these are one of the best. Planning to cop these this weekend? Comment below with your thoughts!

Those familiar with Nike SB know they are no stranger to beer themed released such as the famed Heineken and Dos Equis of way back and more recently the Tecate, High Life, and New Castles. Well they are back to basics with some more beer themed releases for spring 2012. Could this be a pack releasing together? Here we see shots of the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Black and Tan’ and the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Guiness’. Both dunks feature obvious odes to the beers with brown and black leathers and mesh. The low version features a specialized insole that perhaps will also be featured on the high in some form. From initial looks the quality is not what we hoped to see from SB in 2012 as the leather doesn’t look up to pair with their themed releases of the past. Great colorways yes but I know I will be passing on these DROPs and sticking with the real beers. One additional thought is a potential for ‘Harps’ or ‘Bass” themed DROP to pop up soon as well given that your typical black and tan beer is half Guiness and half another lighter bodied beer.
