It looks like Nike SB has set a new standard for tradeshow exhibitions. At this year’s Bright show in Frankfurt, they have created a one of a kind SB showcase room that is designed to look like you’re in someone’s home. Complete with special SB wallpaper, an engraved antique table and even a Pigeon Dunk inspired wall clock, it is clear that no corners were cut as this concept was brought to fruition.

Aside from those thoughtful interior design touches, the focal point of the room is, of course, the upcoming SB collection. New Dunk Lows, Mids and Highs, as well as Blazers, Zoom Tre A.D.’s and others cover the walls and furniture amidst hanging SB apparel and framed photos of sneakers and Nike SB-themed images. Once again demonstrating why they are the leaders of the pack, Nike has created a truly memorable way of showing off their goods and creating a buzz. via Dunkbar.

Earlier today we showed you an image of the high top sneaker to come out of the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and the Louis Vuitton Don himself (Kanye West).  Two new images have surfaced of Kanye wearing the High Top shoe that should remove some of the mystery of what the shoe will look like.   The high-top looks to have a mostly light grey suede upper with a leather patch of the same color  around the mid-panel area.  Covered with brown suede is the heel area while the two straps on the laces show us how Kanye can keep those types of details fresh.  The upper has a pretty neutral colorway, so to pop things off Kanye has added a pink sole with the LV logos by the heel.  There is no official release information for these, but as always we will keep you posted on all relevant info for these and Kanye’s five other shoes he has agreed to work on with LV.  Thanks to Nitro:licious for the heads up and Revolve Clothing for the images.

A few weeks back we showed you some images of Nike’s forthcoming Hypermax basketball shoe. Now we get a peek at a new white/orange colorway that does these kicks the justice they deserve. Picking up where the Hyperdunk left off, this shoe seems to be big man approved, with its high cut, ankle strap and full sole Air Max unit. Like its predecessor, the Hypermax uses Nike’s Flywire technology to keep it light and responsive. This shoe looks seriously court-ready and will no doubt start showing up on the feet of both college and NBA players soon. We’ll keep you posted on when and where you can get yours. via Niketalk.

The Nike Foamposite Lite has recently been a popular choice for player’s editions. In what may be the most enticing colorway so far, the Phoenix Suns’ beast in the middle, Amare Stoudemire, is the latest to get his very own personalized version. The Foamposites have always appeared futuristic, but there is something about the Amare shoe that takes that look even further. Stoudemire’s initials are stamped onto the tongue in a circular design, giving this shoe an added nice touch as if it needed one. If you like Amare’s style, go to Osneaker and you can get a pair of your own.

With exception of the Jordan III’s and IV’s, which are already on the low side, pretty much every classic Jordan shoe has been eventually released in a low version as a retro model. Finally, the AJ VII can join the party. Like the Fusions, Jordan Lows are a touchy subject with some purists, but there are many collectors who don’t wear high-tops, but still love and appreciate the Jordan mystique. Although this white/citrus version is just an unreleased sample, hopefully the folks at Jordan will decide to pull the trigger on releasing these. via kenlu.
