It's not secret that the Lebron VII's are one of the best, if not very best Lebron shoes yet to date. Take that sleek modern style and mash it up with the Bred Air Jordan XI design and you have a definite winner. I've been saying I was going to cop a pair of Lebron's for what seems like a year now, but this is my favorite colorway so far and these will be mine. 
I guess Nike's formula for Retro releases now is "if it sells, lets release it every year". I'm not complaining though because I didn't cop these last year. With the Infared 90's, Neon 95's and Eggplant Foamposites all releasing last year and again this year, this seems like a popular technique to help Nike rake in more of sneakerheads money. Be on the look out for these to release again in July.
Jordan Brand isn't giving up on the Spizike's any time soon. Yet another set of new pictures have released of another colorway that will be releasing. I gave up on these a while back, trying to pay $175 for all these releases would just be ridiculous. I like the color scheme, but these have just way too much patent leather for me to even consider them.
The rumor mill is chirping like crazy lately and the latest is regarding the Air Jordan XII "Flint Grey" and White/Black-True Red's will be this years holiday releases for Jordan Brand. I just got the 2005 Retro version of the "Flint Grey's" but I'm foaming at the mouth for the other pair. Wow, Jordan Brand is pulling out all the stops this year.
The rumor out there is that Jordan Brand will be releasing a $400 Pack of the Black and White Infared VI's this summer. Words can't describe how pissed I am that I just picked up the Varsity Red VI's a couple weeks back and now these are releasing. I've also heard these will only come out in Europe, but not too sure about that yet or not. Regardless, I know that if these do come out I will not possibly have the ability to pass on them. :::Kanye shrug:::
The original colorway of the Air Jordan II's are set to release on May 1st with the onslaught of Air Jordan II's that are coming our way in 2010. For a second I was thinking that these were the exact same colorway that released in the Countdown Pack from last year, but looking online I guess that was just a white/red colorway. I have owned at least one pair of every Air Jordan from the I to the XVII, besides the II. Maybe I'll need to change that with this release and get a pair of the original colorway on my feet.
The next shoe to get the retro treatment is the Air Jordan IX. The Air Jordan IX has never been anywhere even close to one of my top Jordans, but I have owned a few different pairs over the years. In my opinion, if there is a colorway of these to buy then it is this one right here. I'm on the fence and will probably wait to see them in person. Light Blue was my shit in high school, but I played it out and haven't wanted to wear it much since.
I really wish that Spizike's didn't retail for $175, because they have had a lot of colorways that I've liked but couldn't imagine spending that much money on. This pair falls into that category for me also. The white on the area that wraps around the toe box and extends out just throws it all off for me.
