Which sneaker release are you anticipating the most this holiday 2010 season? As seen in previous years, sneaker brands seem to save their best shoe releases for this time of the year. Some of the best kicks have owned a holiday release including the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11, the “Black Friday” Nike Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 11\/12 Countdown Pack. With that said, the holiday 2010 season seems to be no different as sneakers such as the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI and the Nike Air Go LWP are all set for 4th quarter releases.<\/p>\n

We have compiled a nice, hefty list of sneaker releases you should look forward within the last three months of the year. Check out our 15 Sneaker Releases to Look Forward this Holiday Season<\/strong>.

Tentative Release: <\/strong>December 2010<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, this sneaker’s retro release brought about a lot of confusion. News first surfaced stating that it would re-release in early 2011; however, at the beginning of the summer, we learned of its holiday 2010 release. You can’t argue with that, right? This 1998-released sneaker rounds out the top three Jordan Brand holiday releases this year (“Cool Grey” AJ11, “Flint” AJ13).<\/p>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>Black\/White-Varsity Red (10\/26\/2010) | “USA” (11\/24\/2010) | Black\/Black (12\/11\/2010) <\/strong><\/p>\n

A limitless amount of hoopla will surround LeBron James because of ‘The Decision’. Therefore, his eighth signature sneaker, the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII will receive arguably the most attention since the Nike Air Zoom Generation, a shoe he wore in his rookie season. Although its silhouette is very similar to the LeBron’s seventh signature, it possesses distinctive features such a Flywire technology in multiple sections.

Tentative Release: <\/strong>November 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, a ‘Wolf Grey’ colorway of the Nike Air Go LWP released a month ago, however, the majority of you are undoubtedly awaiting this OG Nike Air Go LWP. Originally releasing in 1995, the Nike Air Go LWP (Lightweight Performance) was consistently worn by Penny Hardaway although it was not a part of his signature line.

Tentative Release: <\/strong>October 23rd, 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Brandon Jennings’ unlimited collection of Under Armour basketball sneakers was the surprise talk of our Kicks On Court last season. With every passing photo of him wearing Under Armours, many of you inquired about release information. Three colorways of his Under Armour Micro G Black Ice are set to hit retailers late next month. Will Under Armour be a staple in the basketball sneaker industry for years to come?

“Foamposite” Nike Air Force 1 Black<\/h3>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>November 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Foamposite” Nike Air Force 1 Hi Metallic Silver wasn’t as well-received as many thought; however, it is still one of the more surprising releases of 2010. The “Foamposite” Nike Air Force 1 Black will potentially sell better because of its more subtle approach. This is also the lone, major Air Force 1 release of the holiday 2010 season as well.

Converse First String Standard Matchpoint III<\/h3>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>October 2010<\/p>\n

The ongoing Converse ‘First String’ Collection has produced some very nice, subtle, stylish designs throughout the year. Each release draws inspiration from vintage 1970s Converse models all while possessing up-to-date technology and elements. The soon-to-be-released Converse Standard Macthpoint III owns a poplin cotton upper, an extremely comfortable foot-bed cushion and a very wearable construction.<\/p>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>December 18th, 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nike 1\/2 Cent is arguably the best Nike hybrid basketball sneaker ever created. Its original colorway still stands above the ‘Spark Green’ and ‘Black’ colorways that released in 2009; however, the “Cranberry” 1\/2 Cent has inspired a slew of more, upcoming releases that own the same color scheme. Additionally, the “Eggplant” color scheme seems to be a hit on any sneaker.

adidas Beast & adidas adiZero<\/h3>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>October 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a long time coming in regards to signature sneaker lines for adidas. It seems as if the last prosperous signature line adidas owned was that of Tracy McGrady. However, it was only right for them to strap Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard with signature lines. The latter player is arguably one of the most well-liked players in the NBA, so why not? We must applaud adidas for instilling these players’ personality into their signature shoes. For example, Howard’s Twitter\/Facebook greeting (‘Hey Wooooooooooorld?) is scripted on the inlay piece.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nike Air Max runners have, and will continue to be one of the biggest sneaker release themes of 2010. Much like the recently-released “Infrared” Nike Air Max 90, this “Laser Blue” Nike Air Max 90 is sure to bring out the Air Max aficionados.<\/p>\n

Reebok Zig Tech Slash “John Wall”<\/h3>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>October 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington Wizards rookie point guard John Wall is poised for a breakout, first year in the NBA. With that said, there is a lot riding on the former Kentucky Wildcat’s success. If Wall prospers in the NBA, he can potentially fuel an abundance of hype around Reebok basketball; much like Allen Iverson and his extensive Reebok Basketball signature line. The Reebok Zig sneaker collection has thrived off of the court. Will it withstand on the court behind John Wall’s potential success?<\/p>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>November 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

When Nike unleashed the Air Max A Lot earlier this year, many of you seemed more interested in a Nike Air More Uptempo. Well, we learned of its retro release this past spring, and it is easily one of the better basketball sneaker releases of the 4th quarter. We must applaud Nike for having perfect timing with the release of this shoe as, earlier this year, Scottie Pippen was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Tentative Release: <\/strong>December 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Kobe Bryant’s signature sneakers, for the past two years, have been the most innovative and best basketball kicks on the market as stated by your comments and remarks. Years ago, a low-cut basketball sneaker would be the laughingstock of the industry; now it seems as if it is the norm. The upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe VI will capitalize on its predecessor’s success as (judging by preliminary photos) it proves to be lighter, more technology-driven and an overall performance jewel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan “Flint”<\/h3>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>November 26th, 2010 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Air Jordan 13 “Flint” is the most highly-anticipated sneaker of the holiday 2010 season not named the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11. It originally released in 1998 and later retroed in 2005; yet, the anticipation and energy around this shoe’s release will be just as big as its primary release.

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only time will tell if the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11 will garner as much attention as the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11 and\/or the Air Jordan 11\/12 Countdown Pack. However, it is safe to say this sneaker is the most anticipated of the holiday 2010 season.<\/p>\n

Tentative Release: <\/strong>October 1st, 2010
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Snkrs Day x Asics Gel Lyte III was well-received by the sneaker community to say the least (it actually sold out online in 30 minutes). To capitalize on its success, we supply you with the Asics Gel Lyte III “Snkrs Day 2.0”. Its all-grey-everything, premium suede and nubuck-textured construction is set to have just as big of an impact (if not bigger) than its predecessor. With that said, October 1st is right around the corner!<\/p>\n
