AJ1 Hi blue-sapphire

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:31:34 +0000

To compliment the blue accents on the AJ1 Velcro Premiums, these retro Jordan 1 Highs are almost entirely blue-sapphire. Hitting all three House of Hoops stores the same day, 3/14, swing by and pick up a pair to add to your retro collection. Majority of the shoe is covered in an eye-popping blue-sapphire nylon, with a white midsole to break up the blue connection to the outsole. These are completely different from previous AJ1 Hi releases, thanks to the beautiful color and uncommon nylon material, so make sure to cop. Check out additional shots after the jump.

AJ1 Velcro Premium Low jetstream/blue

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:26:23 +0000

Jordan 1’s are hot in every style and colorway, even if they’re rockin’ Velcro straps. These jetstream/blue premium lows are dropping 3/14 at all three House of Hoops locations. Most shoes can’t pull off Velcro straps without laces, but that’s definitely not the case with these. The upper and toebox are predominantly a jetstream color, appearing as metallic leather, with blue-sapphire accents such as the logos found on the toebox and heel. Overall, they’re simple but the unique straps and metallic appearance make them a must have. More store shots below.

SuperSonics Pack Release Reminder

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:23:15 +0000

The SuperSonics edition is the second to last championship series pack to hit select Foot Lockers, Footactions and all three House of Hoops stores tomorrow, 3/14. Each pack represents Jordan’s greatest NBA memories as a Chicago Bull, so make sure to pick up as many as possible. If you happen to miss out on the first four packs, no worries… the last pack, Utah Jazz, is dropping next weekend, 3/28. Each consists of both home and away colorways of the AJ1 Phat Low, with a compliment of a Jordan Six Rings. Check out the gallery for individual shots from each edition.

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:20:11 +0000

In April, House of Hoops will have a wht/wht/mts Sky Force Mid LE . The shoe’s upper shines with patent leather, and the laces sparkle like glitter (see Rudy Gay’s childhood basketball). The translucent light blue sole also has some sparkle to it. More shots in the gallery.

Air Griffey Max 1 Release Reminder

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:18:21 +0000

As mentioned in January, the Griffey’s were expected to drop sometime in March. They’ll begin hitting select Foot Locker and Footaction locations this week. The wht/water/v.red/blk is only one of two hot color-ups, so you have some variety on the way. Rock a pair of these for now, and when May comes around cop the more vibrant, summer-like vroyal/blk/volt colorway. It’s been almost thirteen years since the sneaker’s original release so make sure to pick up this retro before it’s too late. Stay posted for the May release details, which are right around the corner.

“For the Love of the City” pack at House of Hoops

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:14:11 +0000

On 2/21 all House of Hoops locations are getting four shoes that celebrate Chicago, Houston, New York and LA. The Chicago is an Air Force 2, a rarely released silhouette, fur lined for warmth in the windy city. Houston is repped by a Vandal Hi, candy-painted purple with drips along the mid-sole rumored to represent “sizzzurrp.” NYC is a Dunk Hi with a glow-in-the-dark outsole for the city that never sleeps. Finally there’s the LA Dunk Lo, pieced together with white contrast stitching (even the swoosh is just a stitch outline) alluding to plastic surgery sutures found on the city’s elite. Everything’s limited, and everything is hot so get after it. More detail shots of each in the gallery.

Jordan CP3.III “Mardis Gras” Christmas Eve Release

Kickshub — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:11:14 +0000

If you can’t wait for the January 2nd release of the white/black/varsity red and black/orion blue/white CP3.III, then you are in luck with this Christmas Eve release at House of Hoops.

This CP3.III “Mardis Gras” will hit in white/sun stone/varsity purple, a festive mix but not one you’re used to seeing on your kicks. You may be thinking “these aren’t Hornets colors, this isn’t a standard normal black/red or white/blue blocking,” but this CP3.III is displaying traditional colors of the Mardis Gras festival (purple and gold) which ties back to Chris Paul’s NBA squad based in New Orleans. The multi-colored speckling on the purple midsole even recalls confetti you might see in a parade down Bourbon Street.

Other signature details include the lasered “CP” coat of arms with fleur-de-lis on the upper, and the honeycomb pattern of the herringbone outsole referencing the Hornets. The honeycomb appears again in the pattern of perforations on the lining of the tongue. For more shots, and a wallpaper of the intricate “CP” coat of arms check the Gallery.
