Some 18 years ago the LA Gear brand began a campaign that would not soon be forgotten. And for those of you who happen to have just started to forget, or for those of you who are young and oblivious enough to not know, SneakerFiles now brings you word of LA Gear’s intentions to smack us across the face (or, well, feet) with the reminder of a lifetime. The LA Gear Lights was the single most popular silhouette that LA Gear had to offer us, and it returns this holiday season in at least seven colorways.

Although not officially scheduled to release until December 12th, Sportie LA will make available a limited number of pairs via their online website at 11:59pm on Thanksgiving night, November 26, 2009. This should curb a lot of people’s appetites who are impatiently waiting to get the ball rolling on Black Friday shopping AND allow you enough time to go visit the other shops you’ve been eyeing all along. Just in time for the holiday season, this historical shoe in sneaker culture comes back and offers you a way of lighting up your own path and brightening up the place wherever it is you might be headed. Who’s excited to get another crack at once again (or for the first time) owning a pair of the LA Gear Lights that were such a big part of the childhood of so many of us?

This holiday season, Nike is releasing quite a number of Air Maxes, particularly the Air Max 90. The Nike Air Max 90 Premium comes in a black/white-flint grey-hot red colorway, taking cues from the ever-so-popular Infrared AM90s. The shoe utilizes premium materials, such as black ballistic mesh on the toebox and ankle, flint grey nubuck at the toe, black leather on the mudguard, and white leather throughout. The hot red accents at the sole and upper make this an even better shoe aesthetically, perhaps posing as a substitute for those who couldn’t get their hands on the Infrareds. These babies will release this holiday season as a Footlocker exclusive for their ‘Be The Revolution of You’ campaign that starts this weekend.

Just last Saturday we saw the first Air Jordan Fusion XIII release in a white/black-varsity red colorway. While many sneakerheads and Jordan fans simply can’t stomach the idea or execution of this fusion, others actually welcome the idea and product. Either way, team Jordan Brand isn’t stopping any time soon. Although the second Air Jordan Fusion XIII is not scheduled to release until December, UpTempoAir already has the black/varsity red-white Air Jordan Fusion XIII on sale now. For those of you who believe it’s already time to move “on to the next one,” then UTA can provide the next scheduled Air Jordan Fusion XIII for less than the $144.99 retail price tag. Act now and you can cop for $129.99- that’s 10% less and weeks in advance! Oh, and not to worry about having the discounted price negated by paying for shipping- UTA offers free shipping.

It seems as though a lot of the big holiday releases are starting to pile up on us now that Thanksgiving is mere hours away and we can almost taste Christmas. While a huge Lebron VII release will take place tomorrow, Wednesday November 25, that is not the only buzz Nike will be generating on Thanksgiving eve. Tomorrow, a celebratory release of DJ Clark Kent’s Nike Air Force 1 high East, which draws inspiration from the New York Knicks team colors, will be held at 21 Mercer (Canal street & Grand street) in New York City from 8:00PM to 10:00PM. Naturally, DJ Clark Kent will be on the 1s and 2s. With a superb mix of blue reptilian leather, black leather, and orange nubuck, these could very well be the best pair of the Nike Air Force 1 high we’ve seen release in a while. So for those sneakerheads (New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike) who feel the same way, tomorrow you will have a chance at owning a piece of history.

David Z. designer Ronnie Fieg, known primarily for his collaborations efforts with Asics, has teamed up with the likes of the legendary Polo Ralph Lauren line to create a Grey version of the Ranger “Cookie” Boot. Featuring a Grey suede upper, the boot appears to stay true to the recently retrofitted silhouette of the Cookie boot released back in July, the one notable change spotted is the new wider buckle. To celebrate the model’s limited release, Fieg gathered a bunch of people who have influenced his work for a Central Park photo shoot. Set to release exclusively at DavidZ.com and the David Z. flagship store in Soho this coming Black Friday, you can check out some more detailed images after the jump.
