While we’ve already taken looks at both the “Mango” and “Volt” colorways of the Nike Air Huarache BBall 2012, we now have our first look at the “Stealth” colorway.

Featuring the classic look of the Air Huarache silhouette with the updated technology of a Free-inspired outsole, the shoe sports a grey suede upper, minimal black accents, and a blue neoprene bootie and pull tab. A black midsole, coupled with a full length air bag, and a white outsole complete the look.

While an official release date isn’t currently set, look for these to drop sometime in early Spring.

Slated for a release later this month, the Air Jordan 8.0 “Aqua” has begun to arrive at retailers.

Like the original AJ8, these sport the same basic black colorway with purple and aqua accents and the classic paint splatter on the midsole.  Unlike the OG, however, this 8.0 mixes in a bit more anthracite, along with updated technology.

One of the most comfortable and underrated kicks of 2011, this colorway is set to drop an January 7 for $150, but is already available at some spots like Oneness in Kentucky.

We previewed a another classic silhouette fused with updated technology with the Nike Huarache Free Run, which we showed you not too long ago as the Nike Huarache Fee.

Today, we preview the same sneaker in 6 all new colorways including one similar to the classic Scream Green make-up:

- White/Soar/Siren Red/White
- Black/Red Mahogany/Scarlet Fire/Black
- White/Soar/Cyber/White
- Wolf Grey/Cool Grey/Action Green/Wolf Grey
- Midnight Navy/Blue Grey/Tide Pool Blue/Midnight Navy
- Light Bone/Soft Grey/Calypso/Light Bone

These feature classic Huarache tech, heal counter and updated with the segmented Free sole. Catch these in time for the running season, next year for $100.

This year, Nike has been following a trend in fusing classic signatures to create a shoe with a brand new silhouette, nostalgic references and updated technology. Like the Nike Air Max Barkley and the Nike Air Max JR, Nike has taken sports legend, Chris Webber’s signature shoe, the Air Max CW and remixing form and function to create the Nike Air Max Sensation 2011. This blast from the past features a ventilated mesh upper, 360 Air Max unit, solid rubber outsole and carbon fiber midfoot and heel support. Dressed in all black with Club Purple accents and retro “Air Max” badging, this revamped classic will debut on store shelves later this summer. Keep it on Sneakerfiles for more info as it comes.

Back in 1999, Jordan Brand released the Jordan Alpha 3 Percent Hoop as a training shoe. This year, the Jordan Alpha 3% Hoop will return with updated technology. Inspired by Michael Jordan’s body fat percentage (3%), you may have seen Mike Bibby wear the Jordan Alpha 3% Hoop during the playoffs.

The Jordan Alpha 3% Hoop now has a max air unit that is placed in the heel for additional comfort, jagged midsole now receives aggressive etchings, and the sole now has a herringbone traction pattern. So far, three colorways will release which includes white/blue-grey, black/white-red and white/black/gold-grey. Releasing July 2011, while some retailers already have the black/white-red model.

Paolo Maldini is indisputably one of the soccer legends who inspired many players to come. Want to have game like the ex-Italy and AC Milan captain? Other than talent and down and dirty practice, a little luck and better cleats can only help.

While the matter of luck is better left in the hands of God, Nike has the “better cleats” portion covered. The Nike Limited Edition Tiempo 94 Soccer Boot as previously reported alongside its campaign video is created to commemorate both the first time U.S. hosted the FIFA World Cup in 1994 and Paolo Maldini himself (who debuted the Tiempo at the final game of World Cup 1994). The new Tiempo 94 is recreated from the original classic but with updated technology that will do nothing but magic for your game.

The upper is crafted from Kangaroo leather using the same vamp pattern as the 1994 version and complete with the original Tiempo folding tongue and embroidered logo details on its underside. The insoles feature limited edition detailing and Flywire technology is also adapted into the boots to reduce its weight by 30% (as compared to the original Tiempo). As mentioned before, there are only 5,000 pairs of these cleats in the world, with 2,500 of them available at select European retailers. So for those who do love soccer and are looking either get their A-game on or something to collect, hurry on and pre-order yours from World Soccer Shop.

Reebok is making a drive to revive some of the past popular models in 2009 and 2010, one model we tend to forget about is the Reebok Kamikaze, and it is back for 2010. Worn by Shawn Kemp who had a excellent career in the 1990s, but sadly feel short due to drug problems. For 2010, the Reebok Kamikaze features updated technology, utilizing the Hex-Ride cushioning. Pictured here are three colorways, while the first two expected to release are Black/White and White/Black/Teal, and soon after a Black/Red and possibly a few other colors.
