Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI (6) 1 of 1 Sample for Doernbecher Auction | Detailed Look

During the design process for the Nike Air Yeezy, Mark Smith and the wizards in Nike's Innovation Kitchen created a 1 of 1 Nike Air Yeezy sitting on Air Jordan VI tooling. The upper features the complete Nike Air Yeezy as designed by Kanye West and the Nike iK sitting on the midsole and outsole from the Air Jordan VI. The entire package comes in an "all Black everything" Blackout colorway with a smoked Black outsole. This 1 of 1 Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI Sample was vaulted at the time of it's creation and has never been seen since. Kanye didn't even get to see it.

Unlike many things that get created behind the Innovation Kitchen's iron curtain, the1 of 1 Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI will be made available to the public through an auction in benefit of the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. All of the proceeds from the winning bid will go to benefit the Doernbecher program. Look for the auction to go live soon.

Read on for more pics of the Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI and for more details on the auction from Chi McBride and Mark Smith.

Aug 28 · Nike Auto Force 180 QK - NYC Colorway - Holiday 2009

Yesterday, we got a look at the Los Angeles version of the Nike Auto Flight and now it’s time to check out another shoe from Nike’s upcoming “Auto” series that reps for L.A.’s east coast rival, New York City. We previewed these back in June, but now we get a peek at some new images of the Auto Force 180. Like the Auto Flight, these kicks take the upper from Charles Barkley’s Air Force 180 and give it a new look thanks to a simplified vulcanized midsole. This Auto Force 180 takes on a New York Knicks color scheme, using a royal blue upper with orange accents and an NYC logo on the heel. Expect these to hit select retailers as a Quickstrike some time during the Holiday ‘09 season. Via HS.

Aug 30 · Air Jordan Spiz’ike - Black - Stealth - Varsity Red - Sample

The Air Jordan Spi’zike is arguably Jordan Brand’s finest hybrid Jordan sneaker to date so it comes as no surprise that Jordan Brand will be releasing three new colorways of the hybrid sneaker designed by Tinker Hatfield in the Spring 2010 season. Here is a closer look at the Black, Stealth, and Varsity Red pair. We originally debuted images of this dope colorway via Eddie Cruz back in June and then we gave you an updated look at them via our friends at Osneaker in couple days later, but now we actually have multiple shots of these beautiful sneakers courtesy of Lowtex out of Japan, who has a sample size 9 available now.

Aug 31 · Nike Air Max 90 - Black - Volt - Dark Grey - Splatter

Last week, we showed you some interesting upcoming additions to the Air Max 90 family and now we take a look at another super-fresh version of the classic shoe. This Air Max 90 bears a slight resemblance to the Kaws edition of the Air Max 90 Current from last year, using a very similar eye-catching color scheme. The shoe sports a Black/Dark Grey upper made up of several materials, including the recently seen “splatter” pattern gracing the outer ankle collar. In contrast to the dark base, some Volt accents are spread around on the Swoosh, lining and outsole to liven up the otherwise dark color scheme. There are still no exact details on a U.S. release for these beauties, but we’ll keep you posted as more info becomes available. Via in52.
