Chris Paul could quite possibly be the next MVP for the NBA 07-08 season, if it is not won by a different Nike athlete, Kobe Bryant. With that said, Chris Paul is definitely deserving of his new shoe line from Air Jordan which was launched on March 1st and has already featured a color combinations and has just been released in three subtle color-ways, Black / Metallic Silver / White, White / Black / Bright Goldenrod, and Black/Light Graphite/White. Each model looks very clean and simplified, but appears also to be a great shoe to wear off and on the courts. All three models are available at Eastbay.
With the release of the Air Jordan 9 (IX) 14 (XIV) Countdown Pack imminent, Jordan Brand has matching apparel to accompany the release of the two Air Jordans. The two shirts being released are offered in Black and White to match the the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 14. In addition, both shirts feature inspired graphics taken from past designs which includes the 1994 Kangi graphic inspired by the Air Jordan 9. The Air Jordan 9/14 Count Down Pack apparel is now available at Eastbay.
Tomorrow (March 15th) the second Countdown aka Collezione Pack will hit stores. Included in the pack is the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 14. The AJ9 will release in it’s OG form, while the AJ14 comes with a newer make up. The pack will be available in both mens ($310) and GS ($210) sizes.

Air Jordan Brand – PHYL
When you think of Jordan Brand, you can easily say each pair is made for the courts, but as we have seen in the past, the Brand has slowly leaked beyond. Ever since day 1, each Air Jordan was a fashion symbol (some not as much as others), but its main purpose was to play basketball in.
Here we have a look at one of the up and coming Jordan models called the Air Jordan Brand PHYL, which is targeted more towards fashion rather then jump shots. Some are even saying this pair “may” be a Jordan Skate Shoe, but this has not been confirmed yet.
Two well known color schemes have been thrown on the Air Jordan Brand PHYL which are the Black / Red Cement and White / Black / Red Cement, both made popular by the Air Jordan 3. Also the Jordan Brand PHYL contains Elephant Print, “Rare Air” on the heel, Jordan 1 Wings logo on the side, and Jumpman logo at the heel and tongue.
A few stores will receive shipment early before the official release rolls around. Ubiq is one store that has got a small shipment in, and will launch March 15th 2008 for the retail price of $85. Via hypebeast
Early this week we posted a interview from Gentry Humphrey at Kickz101, and during the interview he confirmed that Jordan Brand will release a special Air Jordan skate shoe.
The new Air Jordan Skate sneaker will be called the Flipside, and will take characteristics from the Air Jordan 3. As well, Jordan Brand went to Stevie Williams for some advice, and talked with other skaters about joining.

Nike Air Max 95 – Hot Lava
The Hot Lava Nike Air Max 95 has come a long way since the sample pictures that were posted last Winter, but the information surrounding the Hot Lava Air Max 95 has been discovered and even has popped up on the online marketplace.
The Hot Lava Air Max 95 release date was unknown until now and has been confirmed that it is now available a few stores retailing at $140. Definitely worth the price, the Hot Lava color-way is absolutely stunning and is one of the nicer Air Max 95’s that has been released recently with a few exceptions. Check for your size now on ebay.
The Nike Air Flight 89 is definitely one of the most underrated models when it comes to its design and creative color-ways. This particular model features a University Blue swoosh, Silver accents and what looks to be Black elephant print at the toe and middle of the shoe. A great combination of color, design and material, the Air Flight 89 really seems to be consistent and has just been getting better and better.

Nike’s Blazer line is another one of their models that often flies under the radar and hasn’t been as strong as it has in the past and seems Nike is releasing less and less each year. With that said, Nike has dropped a new women’s High model which features a patent leather Raspberry Cream swoosh on top of a solid White leather upper. This combination has come out quite nice and its simplicity is the real reason why it looks so clean. The Raspberry Cream Nike Blazer High is now available in select stores. Via Kendo LA.
It has been awhile since Nike has released a new Air Force II, and a new model appears in a St. Patrick’s Day like color-way just in time for the holiday. This Nike Air Force II features White, Pine Green, Black and Varsity Red.
A traditional color-way for St. Patty’s Day minus the Varsity Red which doesn’t appear to be pictured. But, this could possibly be the start of the Air Force II making its way back into the headlines, but only time will tell.
Available now at Eastbay.
