0digg

From the looks of the fall and winter previews we've shown you here on Sneaker News, it appears various Native American and Mexican woven textiles will play a significant role moving forward. Here's a new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star that while not a Mexican Blanket or obvious Indian design also features a woven upper. It's a tonal red weave so from afar they might have the vaguest appearance of horizontal striping, but up close you get an appreciation for the various patterns on the sides.

Nike Air 1/2 Cent – White – Khaki | Sample

Is Penny Hardaway's Nike Sportswear signature line even stronger today than when he lead the Swoosh basketball roster in the mid/late '90s? You could certainly sleep at night arguing that opinion with the variety of retro and hybrid releases in the past couple years providing the youngsters a rainbow road to the past and one of the all-time great 'could've been . . . ' careers. The Penny hybridization began in 2009 with the Nike Air Half Cent, and while it looks as if the Zoom Rookie will be next to retail, here's hoping the above pictured model isn't too far off. This 1/2 Cent sample goes with the lifestyle-friendly combo of white and khaki, and while a flat white Foamposite is quite striking, the insane translucent gumsole just might be this brillant design's standout feature.

Nike Zoom Rookie – Orlando Colorways

0digg

It seems as if all of the Penny inspired shoes must go through a stage of christening with a few classic Orlando Magic colorways. We've come to rely on some combination of White/Blue/Black to gauge the success of new models or retroed pieces from the Nike vault. Well, based on the recently revealed White/Royal and Binary Blue/Black editions of the Nike Zoom Rookie, this one is a keeper. The White/Royal version nearly mimics the Nike Air Penny II 'Atlantic' with similar success, with the watery blues wrapping the lace system and ankle area. Hit the jump for a detailed look at the two new colorways of the Nike Zoom Rookie with a sweet on-foot image of the Binary Blue colorway, alongside another classic from the Penny arsenal, the Foamposite One. via KickzLab
