Almost a year ago we showed you a Fairfax High School player exclusive version of the Nike Zoom LeBron III(3), created for the high school basketball team sponsored by LeBron James. Apparantley, the goods keep coming to the Fairfax Lions via Nike Basketball in the form of a dope player exclusive edition of the Nike Zoom Soldier II. The shoe features an upper that is bottomed out by black patent leather and topped off with black seude accented by yellow and red on the Swoosh, laces, ankle/heel and mid-sole. Unfortunately, this is another dope colorway that will probably not make it past the hands of the lucky plaers on the Fairfax Lions. via NikeLeBron

We saw a variety of Nike Zoom LeBron James Ambassador releases during the fourth quarter of 2008 and, just recently, another version was spotted in a a never-before-seen colorway. As the Ambassador has been released in limited quantities at the House of Hoops in several different color schemes, this particular edition has been seen at retailers in the Philippines – far from any HOH. The above version of the Ambassador is featured in a Navy/White-Crimson colorway with the navy being seen on the out-sole and all along the geometrically embossed leather that covers most of the upper. No word on official release in the United States or Europe, but stay tuned to Sneaker News for more information. via NikeLeBron
Name: Nike Zoom LeBron James Ambassador
Style #: 333492-411

Your may know the Reebok Court Victory Pump II as the Court Court Victory Pump’s younger cousin, or as the shoe seen on court in the battles between Michael Chang and other legends such as Andre Agassi in the mid 1990′s. You may also remember the Court Victory Pump IIs from the popular Reebok advertising campaign featuring the slogan, “Pump up, air out”. Regardless of how you may remember the classic tennis shoe, the colorway of the shoe seen on court and on Michael Chang’s feet in his prime are now re-releasing to satisfy all you classic Reebok fans. Colors featured are purple and blood orange accents on a mostly white shoe. On the out-sole you will see orange, purple and grey while on the upper you see purple and orange accents around the entire upper as well as the interior of the shoe. Look for these at select Reebok retailers as well as at Overkill. via Nicekicks

Custom sneakers have been slowly, but not quietly, growing from a small niche of sneaker culture to a a true art form. Amongst the leaders of sneaker customizers is Akalazy, or lazy, who recently got to shine on a collaboration with fellow customizer SBTG. Lazy has been, for a long time, known among sneaker conossiuers as one of the best people to go to for dope and creative reinventions of popular sneakers like the Nike Dunk.
Lazy’s most recent independent project, which drops tomorrow, is dubbed the Lazy Savage Denim Dunk High. Even though this may be able to go without saying, it is important to take notice of the extra-fine attention to detail on the shoe from the stitching, to the application of the details on the different sections of the denim. The fabric of the shoe consists of a darker denim along most of the upper, except for the top of the toe-box and the panel around the ankle/heel that both feature a lighter denim.
Beyond the fresh use of denim on these Dunks, Lazy takes it a step further with a never-before-seen take on the Nike Swoosh; Removing the Swoosh completely and replacing it with a threaded image of a Swoosh sorrounded by a stitched zig-zag design. You will see that the stitching around the Swoosh on the right shoe is red, while the stitching in the same place on the left shoe is white. White stitching is pre-dominantly used around the upper to piece together the denim pieces with the addition of a tasteful use of red stitching on the very back of the mid-panel. What is also interesting is the use of rips on top of the toe-box, which may have a deeper meaning than ripped denim.
These, unlike most of Lazy’s sneakers which are 1 of 1s, will be available in a relatively less limited quantity of 12 pairs. No word on the exact price, but expect to pay upwards of $500 for these dope, hand-made kicks. The Lazy Savage Denim Dunk High will be available exclusively on Lazy’s website.

We’ve shown you plenty of pictures of the Nike x CLOT Air Force 1 Supreme that features the Red Royale silk fabric. You also probably know by now that the silk fabric is removable which showcases a Dark Brown leather that is equally as nice as the Red silk fabric used on the exterior. Now details have surfaced that this shoe will continue to follow with traditional Chinese inspiration with the box that the shoes will come in when they are released on January 16th, 2009 at Hong Kong’s JUICE and Shanghai’s ACU. The Red candy box that features both branding by CLOT and Nike will come with a top tray that has three sets of shoe laces, Black, Yellow, and Red which have writing on them that wishes everyone a prosperous 2009. When the tray of shoelaces is removed you will find the CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme’s. This is arguably one of the best 1World Air Force 1′s to date and we’re sure the release of this in Hong Kong and Shanghai will bring long lines. Look for this shoe to be released at the 21 Mercer door sometime shortly after the release in Asia, rumor is that the release at 21 Mercer will NOT contain the special Candy Box though. via Freshness

The Air Jordan Force or AJF line will continue after the recent launch of the AJF VI and an upcoming AJF IX for Summer 2009, the following AJF will be the AJF IV based on the Air Jordan IV. The AJF 4 definitely takes quite a few characteristics of the Air Jordan IV including the mesh in the midpanel, the wings, heel tab and the IV eyelets. As with all the AJF line, the upper sits on the Air Force 1 sole and is visible just like the AJF 3. The Air Jordan Force 4 is scheduled for July 2009 with the fire red colorway, August 2009 with a military blue, and in September with a black red. Photos: damedolla/niketalk

A while back we showed you In4mation’s spin on the Vans Half Cab. In case you missed out, the sneaker features a two toned denim upper with red accents on the eyelets and tags. The interior is finished with a hounds tooth print that is also apparent on the shoes upper once they become frayed or torn. Finally the wait is over, and the long awaited sneakers will be releasing this Saturday, January 10th. However the In4mations Vans Half Cabs were produced in limited numbers and will only be available at In4mations Ward Warehouse as well as their Online Shop. The Ward In4mation opens at 10amUTC and the shoes will be served on a first come first serve basis. If any pairs are still available after this weekend, the Ward Warehouse will begin accepting phone orders Monday, January 12th.

Vans keeps it coming hard in heavy in the beginning of 2009. Their latest drop is a set of classic Era models. Each model uses the familiar suede upper, but has a unique ‘Croc’ texture on the side panels. Available now in light brown or lime green at Vans accounts like DQM.

This summer, Nike will be releasing the Hypermax, an apparent sequel to the popular Hyperdunk basketball model. Like the Hyperdunk, the Hypermax will employ Nike’s new Flywire technology, but comes with some new tweaks, such as an ankle strap and a full length Air Max sole for the power ballers. This wildly colorful grey/black/sport red pair is a sample, but can be had on ebay right now if you are a size 9 and can’t wait until June.
