Never one for subtlety, flamboyant pro skater Terry Kennedy will be rolling flashier than usual in his new signature shoe from Supra. Images of black and purple colorways already popped up a few months back, but now we get a look at these grey patent leather headturners. They are even higher than the other extra-high Supra models and go the extra mile with a double ankle strap and high fashion aesthetic. If you are a fan of the ultra high-top look and can’t get your hands on the Nike Air Yeezy, you will find these in 3 colorways at Supra accounts in the upcoming months. via Supra.

Nike’s Air Max line has been getting a lot of attention lately with pictures of sample after sample surfacing on various forums igniting curiosity and excitement about what may lay ahead for Nike Sportswear’s retro running sneakers. In the lineup there are classic runners coming out with fresh colors and prints. These include, but may not be limited to the Air Max 90, Air Structure, Air Max 1, Air Max Light and the Nike Air Pegasus ’89.
All of the shoes in the group of retros scheduled for release later this year have been popular amongst sneaker heads for years and are sure to be a hit. There is truly something for everyone ranging from OG colorways on shoes like the Air Max 1, updated technology on the Air Max 1 Maxim and the use of safari print that throws back to the Nike Air Safari. The variety of shoes that are visible in the picture above, and those you will see after the jump, are all scheduled for release sometime during the Winter of this year. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more information and be sure to peep the pictures below. via NikeTalk

The designers over at Nike Sportswear are getting prepared for Valentine’s Day with releases that are sure to warm the hearts of those around you who can fit into WMNS and grade school sizes. A Nike Air Force 1 has recently popped up in a vivid pink/white colorway that is being produced in grade school sizes, but will surely be a good gift idea with those of you who have special ladies that can fit into GS sizes. The Nike Air Force 1 GS Valentine’s Day edition comes with a clear, icy out-sole and a white mid-sole. On the upper you can see a nice use of glossy, pink leather bordered by a white Swoosh and white around the toe-box along with the laces. Look for these soon at your local Nike Sportswear retailers that stock GS sizes, or cop them now on Ebay.

Even though LeBron James has always declined to participate in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest due to the unnecessary risk of injury, it hasn’t stopped Nike Basketball from putting out a Sprite-themed Zoom LeBron Soldier II. Even though Sprite sponsors more parts of the NBA than just the Slam Dunk Contest, we can help but think about it considering the contest – along with All-Star Weekend – is quickly approaching.
The Zoom LeBron Soldier II “Sprite” edition comes in a colorway similar to a Sprite can featuring green, blue, yellow and white. The color scheme is one thing, but the details of this PE takes the shoe to another level. Filling the blue part of the upper are white bubbles to remind you, perhaps, of the refreshing and crispy nature of Sprite. Also featured is a huge LeBron Jumpan on the bottom of the sole along with “King” and “James” printed on two hangtags on opposite shoes of the pair. Word is these were strictly produced as a player exclusive for King James and are not set to drop anywhere, not even House of Hoops, but we’ll keep you posted if we hear anything different. via NikeLeBron

Love it or hate it, with the rising superstar status of LeBron James, his latest signature shoe has been subject to a lot of special attention from the folks over at Nike Basketball. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI has been styled and released in almost every sort of variety as one could imagine, but it does not seem to be stopping anytime soon. In November of 2008, we saw the Nike Zoom LeBron VI “Big Apple”, which was featured in a red patent leather design that was supposed to represent the nickname of NYC.
While there is no official information available yet, rumors have surfaced regarding a 2nd round to a New York City edition of the Nike Zoom LeBron VI, this time with the theme of a taxi cab. Only one photo has been made available, the shoe is outfitted in a black/yellow-silver colorway with sime dope details including a metallic silver Swoosh and yellow patent leather around the toebox. Like we said earlier, there is no official release info available for this shoe as of now, but you might expect to see this on LeBron’s feet during his next appearance at Madison Square Garden on February 4th. via MarcSJ08 of NikeTalk

Chances are, if these weren’t customizable online, we’d have no reason to show you a pair of Keds Champions. As it stands, these offer an interesting view of some of your body’s internal workings, albeit in your bony feet. If you want to name these, we can call them the “Human Internal Organ Anatomical Drawings”, but it’s the polka dots on the outside toe and side panel along with a heel stripe that really set these off. Zazzle.co.uk offers several different options for laces and other details on the shoes, but they’re only available in ladies sizes. Head over there if you feel like rockin’ something that probably no one else in your neighborhood will have.

You might look at two of the three colourways here and say, “Oh, I get it. The shoe is called ‘Tobacco’ because of the colours,” but you’d be wrong. In fact, the adidas Tobacco was released over thirty years ago and is set to be revitalized and re-released as a part of the adidas Originals Collection. Only the all black pair won’t evoke a pipe, with the other two relying heavily on browns. Take a look at all the pics after the jump, then hop over to Size? to cop any or all three.

The Air Jordan 2009 has made quite a stir in the sneaker world since news and pictures of the shoe broke in the fourth quarter of 2008 and was officially unveiled a little over a week ago. We have seen a ton of pictures of the white version of the shoe MJ himself was holding at the press release, but little has been mentioned of the black colorway until now. With a better look, we see that the black/varsity red-white colorway of the next signature shoe for the Air Jordan line isn’t exactly a traditional bred Air Jordan. Aside from the red stitch right below the heel, and some red on the out-sole, there is not too much red seen anywhere on the shoe. Instead, the upper is mostly black with white around the ankle and around the out-sole/mid-sole. Look for these to release in the earlier part of 2009 for the price of $190.00. If you can’t wait, however, Sole-Locker as some sizes available now.
04/11/2009
Name: Air Jordan 2009
Style #: 343084-062
Color: Black/Varsity Red-White
Price: $190

Back in October, RoyalFam SBTG released their Jackal and Hyde Nike Dunk Dead Generals Edition for the re-launching of their website and new apparel. If you don’t remember, the set of two Nike Dunk Highs that comprised this last Dead Generals drop feautred a plethora of materials and new construction, such as a zip-up lace cover. The next set of custom sneakers from the desk of SBTG are is a pack of two Nike Dunk Lows dubbed, “Dead Generals Part 2: Skeleton Comrade”.
Like the first Dead Generals series, these Dunk Lows feature selvage denim sewed onto the front and back panels accented by red/off white trim right above the sole. You’ll notice that the Swoosh is translucent on the red version of the shoe, and on the blue version the Swoosh is black with blood splatter on the bottom part. On the blue colorway, the toe-box is blue with a darker blue used in the fabric on the mid and heel area along with the blue laces. For the red colorway, all the blue areas on the other shoe are black accented by the red Swoosh. Both shoes have “ARMY” followed by crossbones printed on the fabric covering the mid-panel and the heel section.
The shoes also feature some SBTG staples such as the zip-up lace cover and the recently introduced gold lacelocks. Take a moment to look at all the pictures after the jump. For those of you who follow custom sneakers, you will appreciate the fine details in the on-point stitching and design patterns that flow seamlessly throughout the sneakers. Even if you are not too familiar with the custom sneaker world, this release just might warrant your respect for custom sneakers as a new, urban art form.
Both of these Dunk Lows are being released in quantities of 12 pairs per colorway. The drop date is set for Sunday, January 25th and will be priced at $600.0o. Just like last time, you will want to have your credit cards ready because these will be exclusively available at RoyalFam’s website and are sure to be highly covetted by sneaker conossiuers worldwide.

Nike will be releasing this Air Force 1 Supreme in Black and White with 3M this upcoming Fall 2009 Season. While the 3M material has been a known commodity amongst sneakerheads, Nike hardly uses it on their sneakers unless it’s for a special release. While we’re not sure how limited these are we’re guessing that they won’t be as hard to find as the Nike x CLOT 1World Air Force 1. This particular Air Force 1 also features a visible heel Air unit which makes it a Supreme version of the AF1. Stay tuned for more pictures and information. via cubanbee // Niketalk
