April 2010 Air Jordan Releases

Sole Boutique x Saucony Shadow 5000

Sole Boutique holds it down for the San Antonio sneaker community and is now proud to present its new collab with Saucony. The Shadow 5000 is bombarded with an overload of graphic elements, colors and materials, it’s hard decide where to start. The black suede gets neon yellow contrast stitching, all overlaying slate mesh for the toebox and medial panel. You’ll find 3M on the Saucony brand panel, while the midsole gets a neon speckle. The aesthetics continue with snakeskin by the ankle, and Sole Boutique imagery etched on the back heel and tongue. And finally the shoe gets some more pop on the gel sole with neon, as well as for the secondary laces. A lot to absorb, we know. If you’re looking for a loud statement, these will be dropping in July with pairs limited to 100.

Air Jordan Fusion 5 Grape August 2010

Though the Air Jordan Fusion 5 series dropped a couple of years ago, it will return, and in a classic colorway no less. This August, the Air Jordan Fusion 5 is set to release in the legendary Grape colorway and will feature a White upper, a Grape Ice midsole, a New Emerald flame, the Grape Air Jordan V tongue, a Grape/Emerald "23" hit on the heel and an icey outsole.

Y-3 Honja High + Low – Studs Pack

Yohji Yamamoto is one of the few designers for whom a studded sneaker could be a ‘toned down’ look. Yamamoto’s Y-3 division of adidas just released the Field Low ’soccer’ shoe whose silhouette is even crazier than this new Y-3 Honja Studs Pack. The Honja is super sleek in both its high and lowtop forms but studding on the lows’ Three Stripes and the entire rear of the highs demands attention. These’ll be out later this year, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Air Jordan Icons – Ray Allen PE Collection

With nearly $200 million in career earnings and an NBA Championship ring, Ray Allen probably has a pretty excellent life. Not the least of his blessings: this range of Air Jordan Icons PEs.

The Holiday 2010 season will bring an Iron Man inspired Dunk High. It features a wine-red suede upper with black and gold accents. Nice colorway that should be a hit with those loyal Nike SB Dunk fans. More information as it comes.

Nike Terminator High Basic

I don’t why there are titled as Terminator, however, we are seeing here Nike Terminator High Basic summer 2010 in two different colorways. Pretty look with smoking fresh colorways. About the design of them, not so stylist but highly comfortable. I am about certain that while developing them, Nike gives the comfort most priority.




One of them comes with white upper with blue and green accents, and the other one has white upper with yellow and blue accents. Very smart color combination in my thought. These sneakers are just just released in Japan and being sold like hot cake. The will be released worldwide very soon.



Stay in touched with your local shoe stores or available Nike retailers soon to have a pair of them as they may come to your city in any minute.



All the best.
