The Pro Leather OX ‘76 “Vintage” in white/green, white/red, white/black are the pharmaceuticals Dr. Erving prescribed for my non-existent hops and marginal speed when I visited his clinic earlier today. All right, all right—only time in the gym will cure those ailments, but I digress. The premium leather uppers and weathered midsole on this batch of Pro Leathers is already makin’ me feel better, anyways!

The Converse Pro Leather OX ‘76 is available now in Japan and should be hitting Cons’ online depot soon.

Now available at suggested retail price is the Air Jordan 1 (I) ‘Do the Right Thing’ pack. These sneakers have been one of the most anticipated Jordan 1 releases of the year. Original colorways of the first Air Jordans have been one of the most collectible shoes during the recession. As most prices of rare shoes plummeted in correlation with the state of the economy,  OG 1s have gained value. Those of us who cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars for the original 1985 release may now purchase these retro shoes at the retail price of  $110 per pair (with free shipping) at UTA.

Parra is no new name when it comes to sneaker collaborations. The independent Holland-based artist has teamed up with Vans and Nike multiple times in the past, and we now have a look at his latest collaboration with Converse. To celebrate a BBQ event in Berlin that will take place tomorrow, Converse has called upon Parra for a new colorway of their classic high-top model. This pair features a white upper accented by a blue bratwurst image that has “Simply The Wrust” on it. Unfortunately, the Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor High was only made in limited quantities and will be given away to friends and family at the aforementioned BBQ.

Today we have a first look at the Nike Transformers II Pack, which is composed of three sneakers directly inspired by the hit movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This pack is composed of the Nike Zoom Flight Club, Zoom Sharkalaid, and Zoom Fun Police, but unfortunately we only have pictures of two of the three sneakers to share. The Fun Police from this pack is inspired by Bumblebee, and it hosts a yellow upper with black and silver accents. The Zoom Sharkalaid, inspired by Soundwave, yields a blue upper with white, yellow, and red accents. The Nike Transformers II Pack will release in special action figure inspired boxes this Summer.

With America’s Independence Day just around the corner, Sneaker Files will be paying tribute to four sneakers that successfully capture the spirit of America throughout the next few days. The first sneaker on that list is the “Made in USA” New Balance 993. As the name of the sneaker denotes, this New Balance model was manufactured solely in the United States of America. Though it is extremely uncommon for sneaker brands to manufacture their products in the USA, New Balance has been doing so since 1906. The newest sneaker from NB’s Made in the USA collection is this 993, which hosts a grey suede upper with black and white accents. The New Balance 993 “Made In USA” is now available at select retailers for around $125.

Though the Nike Zoom LeBron 6 (VI) Low has not been met with the same type of success as its higher cut counterpart, Nike Basketball continues to release new colorways in the low-top ZL6. This time around, the sneaker hosts a white upper with baltic blue accents on the swoosh and tongue tag, while black accents are visible via the mid-sole, inner lining, and heel. Another key aspect of this pair is the white contrast mid-sole stitching that gives this style a unique look. The Nike Zoom LeBron 6 (VI) Low - White/Baltic Blue-Black should be available at your local retailers in the coming weeks.

Months ago, rumors surfaced that the Air Jordan X (10) Chicago Bulls White/Black - Team Red would be reissuing again sometime in 2010. Grainy images of the samples have hit the ‘net, and if these do release, it’s readily apparent that there’s a few slight differences between the “OG” and ‘10 update. The retro’s cut along the ankle is a little slimmer and shorter than that of its progenitor and both Jumpman logos are facing the same way. Look for the Air Jordan Retro X (10) “Chicago” sometime in 2010!
