Not only are more House of Hoops locations opening in the US, a few are jumping the pond and opening up in England and France. Specifically, stores are coming soon to Oxford Street in London, England and Les Halles in Paris, France.
To celebrate the two openings, the US House of Hoops closest to Europe (Harlem) will have two special editions of the Hyperize Supreme. (more…)

If you were up on the Transformers Pack that released earlier in July, we’ve got more good news. A second House of Hoops exclusive blockbuster themed shoe release is hitting in August. This time it’s for the new “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra” movie (which looks sick by the way). Take a peak at the Storm Shadow Sharkalaid, one of three shoes in the pack scheduled to hit mid-August. Exact release date is yet to be confirmed, more shots after the jump.
Don’t forget to check back for shots of the rest of the pack and more release info.
Remember the Six Rings? It first released almost a year ago, in August ‘08 in blk/red. This wht/dark concord/blk came out shortly afterwards in September (if you’ve got big feet you can still pick up a pair). These were followed up by lots of colors to celebrate each team that Jordan beat on the way to his six NBA championships; the shoe itself was designed as a mash-up of the different shoes he wore while beating those teams (Air Jordan VI, VII, VIII, XI, XII, XIII and XIV).
Check the shots below and after the jump, and see if you can figure out what’s different between the sample and the shoe that launched. We’ll let you know the answer Monday…
This Air Jordan I Hi Strap in black/black/orion-blue will hit House of Hoops locations in November. Retro I’s will be out in force this fall. It has a blacked out upper of textured nylon with hits of orion-blue on the jumpman logo (heel and tongue), the strap, and the midsole.
Thin black bungee laces are capped off with metallic tips. For more shots and a wallpaper check the gallery.
The recent drop of the black/metallic-silver 1/2 Cent was just the beginning, with the reverse (metallic-silver/black) set to arrive at House of Hoops in September.
This is a real premium color update on the Air Penny line’s hybrid shoe, a look Lil’ Penny would be proud of. More shots in the gallery.
The Nike Air Trainer II, an update on Bo Jackson’s Air Trainer SC (which is being retroed at Foot Locker in the fall) starts to hit Foot Locker locations the middle of this week. Check your local spot to see when pairs start dropping in your area. For more pictures, wallpapers, and info on the shoe check the gallery.
The next colorway of the Air Jordan Fusion 4 will drop at Footlocker.com and hit Foot Locker stores on August 29th.
This model combines the Air Force One with the original flavor of the Air Jordan IV that MJ wore when he hit the iconic shot over Craig Ehlo in the 1989 Playoffs. Below you can see the classic back heel tab/Jumpman from the Air Jordan IV.
The outsole of the AJF4 is taken straight from the Air Force One and is the original colors from the Black AJ IV.
For more shots of the Fusion 4 check out the Gallery. Keep an eye out for the Stealth AJF4 at Foot Locker in late August.
Heads up if you’re looking to pick up the “home” Zoom Kobe IV Finals MVP pictured below. It released early at House of Hoops LA, available now.
