Air Jordan Retro III (3) GS - White/Crimson - Neutral Grey - Wolf Grey

It is highly unlikely that anyone would debate the epicness Jordan Brand prepares to drop this year.  With lots of full family releases on the horizon, tiny tots and #TEAMSFS'ers alike are gearing up for what is sure to be an amazing year in footwear.  If that wasn't already enough, a slew of exclusively GS colorways are also set to drop in the coming months on some of our favorite Jordan models.  The newest addition to the GS Retro AJIII collection resembles the White/Cement III but in a more neutral tone.  The signature elephant print we've grown to know and love is seen in tonal grey with hints of crimson red seen on the sockliner, lace holes and air unit.  HAUT!  Expect to see these hits stores on April 16th, 2011.  Pics via Ruvilla.

Peek-A-Boo: Nike Air Max Lebron 8 V/2 GS - Pink/Black - White

Just the other day, I was all the way turnt up about the upcoming grey and pink Nike Zoom Kobe VI GS release.  On twitter*, I stated "If a LB8 V/2 drops with some pink or purple, I'm going to LOSE it." Well what do ya know? Pics have surfaced of the above GS release in China and my oh my I am LOVING IT.  As of right now, no U.S. release info is available, but you already know I'll have it for you when it comes.  Stay "tuned" <3. *Toddler version pictured after the jump*

Nike Zoom Kobe VI Girls - Grey/Pink - Black

I'm not even going to say much.  Just know that an already great model, just got that much more great.  A simple grey, pink and black colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI will be releasing soon at various retailers just in time for Valentine's Day.  Although we as females typically complain about "pink and shrink" sneaks, I am NOT going to even front and act like I'm mad at these, because I am not.  I actually love pink sneakers, when executed properly. These are a win in my book.  Continue to bask in the ultra-sezziness of these kicks after the jump.

*UPDATE* Now available on NDC

Nike WMS Air Force Low 1 07 LE - White/Silver - Grey

Approaching it's 30th year in the sneaker world, the Air Force 1 model has more than solidified itself as the most iconic basketball sneaker ever, and it has had an amazing transition into a sportswear legend.  This year, we'll see a slew of dazzling new colorways women and kids.  The newest edition in the ever expanding WMS Air Force 1 collection includes the above pictured Limited Edition Air Force 1 Low - featuring a smooth white premium leather upper, with a sparkling silver swoosh and crisp medium grey outsole.  LOVE IT. This particular look will also be available in gold, as of now, there aren't any detailed shots of that colorway (only catalog pics/I'd like to wait for the good ones :)).  Anyhoo, these delightful silver beauties are available now at Mita. View more pics after the jump.

Nike Dunk Hi GS - Valentine's Day - Carmine/White Detailed Shots

Earlier this month, SneakHerbox sneak peek'd Nike's Valentine's Day Dunk Hi for Girls.  Now we have detailed shots of this super ca-yute sneaker which features some really "Amor" inspired design elements.  In addition to the deep Carmine red upper, adorable hearts are laser etched into the synthetic leather upper for an extra Vday touch.  Very awesome. Expect to see these in your local Nike retailers in the coming weeks. More pics after the jump. via Rakuten.

YSK: Nike Air Max Griffey 1 GS - Royal/Black - Volt - Now Available on eBay

Back in December, we got word of the pending Air Max Griffey retro release in GS sizes via Marqueesole's schweet pics of said shoe.  The first colorway back up to bat is the "Volt" look, nicknamed so because of the bright green tint on the air unit and "swoosh" accents around the shoe.  We weren't sure of an actual release date initially, only that these would be dropping in the Spring.  However, pairs have now appeared on online at the Footsoldiers eBay store, in a full GS size range (preschool and toddler sizes are also available). Enjoy!

Air Jordan XIII (13) GS "Playoff" - Detailed Shots

Here we have a first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 13 "Playoff" in grade school sizes. This fan favorite is set to release at Jordan retailers nationwide on February 26th and thus far, beside Marqueesole pics, we haven't seen many shots of this particular colorway, let alone the GS joints.  As you can see, the tumbled leather mimics that of the OGs and the recently retro'd GS Air Jordan XIII "Altitude."  LOVE it.  Now, without further adieu, take a look at all of the photos below. Now available via eBay seller 2xwashoes (for quite a bit over retail).

Air Jordan 1 Phat GS - Black/Metallic Gold

o.O.

You might recall a post I did a little while ago swooning over my beloved AJ1 Retro Patent Black/Gold from 03. I didn't buy mine DS, and over time, the "wings" on the side cracked and became foggy, but ALAS, I, along with my other SneakHer chicks wilst be able to cop a fresh pair this year.  The Air Jordan 1 Phat you see above mimics that of its 03 counterpart to a T, with the same patent leather upper and gold detailing we saw on the previous release.  This pair includes an extra bit of shedangliness with a pair of shimmery gold laces. Score 1 for the small footers.  EACH YOUR FRIGGIN HEART OUT BOYS!!! :)

Set to release in the U.S. next month, just in time for my birthday.  In the meantime, they are available now at Japanese retailer Atmos. Stay tuned for a 2003/2011 GS comparison soon :)

Could It Be GS? Nike Air Max Penny LE GS Releases - Spring 2011

By now, you've probably already heard the news that Penny Hardaway's first signature sneaker will be re-released in a number of colorways this year, including the famed "Orlando Magic" (Black/Varsity Royal) colorway.  You've also probably seen pics of the new "Phoenix Suns" (Black/Club Purple) color combo set to drop this Spring.  Oh, and let's not forget the pics of the Wolf Grey cdub coming in the near future.  If you wear a size 3.5 to 7Y tho, you probably weren't that excited because you weren't sure if these would be dropping in grade school sizes.  Well, fret no more.  Shots seen via BNYC's blog have confirmed the release of all three colorways in GS sizes. Oh Glory, Glory! For the most part, the sneakers will be identical to that of their larger counterparts, except it looks as though synthetic leather covers the upper instead of nubuck.  Ah, things could change though.  At the moment, specific release info regarding the kids' drop isn't available BUT if they release alongside the Men's, you can expect to see the Phoenix Penny 1s this month, followed by the Orlando Pennys in March and the Wolf Greys showing up this Summer.  CAN'T WAIT! More Info and pics below.

***UPDATE*** "Phoenix" Colorway now available in GS sizes at Sneakerhead.  Upper features standard nubuck.

Nike Dunk Hi GS - Carmine/White "Valentine's Day"

Here's a first look at the upcoming "Valentine's Day" inspired Nike Dunk Hi GS.  The upper looks to be composed of both natural and metallic leathers with a white midsole and swoosh to complete the very simple look.  I can't front, I think these are dope, even from this catalog scan.  Be on the look out for these to drop stateside later this month.

Nike Air Max Lebron 8 V2 GS - White/Black - Sport Red

Fresh of the heels of an extreme victory in the name of kids kicks with the GS South Beaches, Nike plans on wrecking *^&% further in the grade school basketball world with the release of the Nike Air Max Lebron 8 V2. From the naked eye, The V2 doesn't appear to differ significantly from the original V1.  However, a closer examination of the second version of the 8 model reveals lighter materials used on the upper, along with the use of flywire accents and a full air max unit on the outsole seen on the V1.  After recently trying this pair on for size, I am convinced it is one of thee most comfortable and lightweight basketball shoes out there.  This colorway is set to release this Saturday, January 8th at select Nike Basketball retailers, including Niketown Chicago.  Another pic after the jump!

Nike Zoom Kobe VI GS - White/Grey - Concord - Black

*note - the pictures you see here are of the MENS Kobe VI.

Well hello there readers! After the hugely popular "Grinch" Kobe VI release after Christmas, the new signature model from the Black Mamba has picked up a lot of steam.  Even more impressive is that the brightly colored color combo released in grade school sizes, along with the first colorway - Black/Del Sol.  Although I'd love to think that my interview with Mr. Bryant back in 2009 may have had something to do with, I'm just pleased to see a more complete line up of colorways in the GS range of basketball shoes.  Scheduled to release this month is the "Concord" Kobe VI GS - featuring flywire for lightweight support and zoom air cushioning.  I IZ READAY FOR DESE! Be on the look out for these to drop at Nike Zoom Kobe retailers on January 15th.

***UPDATE*** Now available online at Sneakerhead.
