Air Jordan 1 High Package

 Jordan Brand’s coming through with an OG-inspired Jordan Brand box for at least the Air Jordan 1 Retro releases (and certainly for this Air Jordan 1 High).

We’ll keep you updated on other packaging ideas that Jordan Brand may have in store, so check out the new photos of the OG Air Jordan 1 High re-issue below. You can purchase this shoe early on

DRose 3 "Fresh Prince"

Charged with lime green and beaming blue, the new DRose 3 is paying tribute to the t-shirt Will Smith wore during the pilot episode of Fresh Prince. The graffiti style “South Side” and “773″ burners on the inner tongues shout out to Derrick Rose’s Chi-Town roots. Look for these to drop on November 9. More from our friends at adidas Basketball:

Dubbed “’90s Throwback” the bold and bright colorway is inspired by fashion, style and colors of early 1990s.

The loud fluorescent green nubuck upper with blue stitching features a wave pattern. The inside of the left and right tongues feature block letters and colorful graffiti tags of “South Side” and “773” to represent Derrick’s hometown Chicago neighborhood. The midsole features a green on yellow speckled pattern while the sockliner is green and yellow horizontal stripes.

The D Rose 3 “’90s Throwback” drops November 9 for $160, and is available at adidas Basketball.

Li-Ning Marvel Pack

Does anyone remember Dwyane Wade’s alter ego ‘Flash’ that was given to him by former teammate Shaquille O’neal? Yeah, neither does Wade. Dwyane did bring his superstar power to the brand (officially announced last week), and while Wade might not be part of this pack of Superhero-inspired releases (Flash is a DC Universe fella), this ‘Avengers’ Pack couldn’t have arrived at a better time as Li-Ning continues to be a trend in sneaker circles. These were originally a sample for the third quarter of 2012, but with that season come and gone, maybe this set of releases won’t ever happen? Although these have no connection whatsoever to Marvel Comics, it’s clear that Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and Thor were the inspiration for these impressive colorways, so check out the gallery below and we’ll let you know if Li-Ning plans to move forward with this release.
