Which holiday sneaker releases sit atop your must-have list this holiday season? Check out our “17 Releases to Look Forward to this Holiday Season” feature, which is set in chronological order. Make sure you’re stacking your paper up right now.<\/p>\n
Release Date:<\/strong> November 4, 2011 <\/p>\n Last year’s Under Armour Black Ice was a breath of fresh air in regards to basketball sneaker designs. This year, Under Armour looks to capitalize on the success of Brandon Jennings’ first signature model with the newly designed Under Armour Micro G Bloodline. It is definitely a more performance-ready sneaker with its low-cut build and midfoot velcro strap. Today, Under Armour released the black and red pair, but be on the lookout for an abundance of Bloodline colorways over the next few months.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 5, 2011 <\/p>\n Why not snag a one-of-a-kind sneaker for a great cause? An 11-year-old kid named Isaiah Scott designed the Air Jordan 4 ?Doernbecher?. We can all agree that the kid, who has been given the nickname ?Superman? by his loved ones, did an amazing job with these. This will be one of the toughest retros to come by this holiday season, as Jordan Brand will only shelve these at select retailers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 5, 2011 Sure, this is not one of Jordan Brand’s major retro releases; yet, the storied brand is generating a lot of attention for this drop. A Jordan Spizike scavenger hunt will take place today and tomorrow in NYC, and Spike Lee himself will be at Foot Action signing a few pairs tomorrow morning. We must give credit to Jordan Brand for creating a nice buzz for this release in a creative way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 10, 2011 Last year’s NBA MVP has two new colorways of his second signature model, the adidas adiZero Rose 2, on the way. Although adidas strayed away from the Chicago Bulls look on these two future releases, the color schemes, “Triple Black” and “Silver Lining”, are very sleek and stylish. We’d love to see Derrick Rose rocking these in the United Center. Are you listening, David Stern?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 11, 2011 You don’t have to bring the “wheat” Timbs out every winter. Nike gives us three boot-inspired substitutes in the form of the “Haystack” Vac Tech Premium Pack.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 11, 2011 There will always be a strong connection between hip hop and sneakers to say the least. adidas will release one of, if not the strongest connection between the aforementioned genres in the form of the Run DMC x adidas Superstar 80s “My adidas”. It would behoove you to pick up a piece of history and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Raising Hell<\/em> and the hit track ?My adidas”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 12, 2011 <\/p>\n In the spring of 2010, Jordan Brand surprisingly brought back the original Air Jordan 1 KO, a shoe many seasoned sneaker enthusiasts could relate to. This holiday season, Jordan Brand will serve up three monochromatic colorways of the luxurious Air Jordan 1 KO.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 25, 2011 The “Black Cement” Air Jordan 3 released just three years ago by way of the Air Jordan 3\/20 Countdown Pack. Yet, we still expect an abundance of sneakerheads to check this Black Friday release off of their must-have list later this month.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 25, 2011 <\/p>\n Following the original?”Metallic Silver” Nike Total Air Foamposite Max that released in October, Nike will supply us with a subtler colorway of the shoe heavily endorsed by Tim Duncan in the ’90s. The all-black look fits Tim Duncan’s personality better anyway.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 25, 2011 Earlier this year, Nike released a plethora of head-turning Nike Air Max JR colorways. Usually, brands tone it down to subtle colorways in the fall\/winter season; however, the “3M” Nike Air Max JR will stand out amongst its competition on Black Friday. You can never go unseen with an all-reflective sneaker.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 3, 2011 After an exclusive-to-Miami release in October and a sudden release date change, many of you have expressed you impatient anticipation of the “Cannon” Nike LeBron 9. We will finally get our chance at these military inspired kicks on December 3, 2011. Yet, will you snag these or go after the sneaker release we just heard about today on the next page?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 4, 2011 <\/p>\n Earlier today, we learned of the “Black Flip” Air Jordan 3’s stateside release. Does this take priority over any of the other Jordan Brand December releases, such as the “Last Shot” Air Jordan 14 and the “Concord” Air Jordan 11?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> N\/A Nike consistently crafts vivid, eye-popping colorways for LeBron’s sneakers during the holiday season. Thanks to the lockout, we don’t know if the “Christmas” Nike LeBron 9 will ever hit the NBA hardwood, yet, it is undoubtedly one of the better LeBron 9 colorways to date.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 17, 2011 2005 saw the lone retro release of the highly coveted “Last Shot” Air Jordan 14. Therefore, we expect everybody except for Byron Russell to be on the hunt for these.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 22, 2011 Kobe Bryant’s seventh signature model, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, has garnered an abundance of interest since photos surfaced earlier this fall. We are still awaiting specific design information; however, mark your calendars for December 22. The Black Mamba may not hit the courts this season, but the shelves will still be filled with his beloved kicks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 23, 2011 <\/p>\n The “Concord” Air Jordan 11 is undoubtedly the most anticipated sneaker of the year. Many sneakerheads have had this shoe atop their must-have list since January and rightfully so. Does anybody care that Jordan Brand bumped the price up to $5 this year? No. The “Concord” 11s will breed long lines just like the “Space Jam” and “Cool Grey” 11 releases of the previous two years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 2011<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following our collaborative efforts with ASICS the past couple of years, we now have another joint effort on the horizon. This time, New Balance is our partner in crime.
