Just as all the ice begins to thaw in the North, Nike Skateboarding will be dropping a clutch line-up of their signature sneakers in time for March, 2009.   The most anticipated of the group may, arguably, be the Nike SB Dunk Low in the Angel and Devil theme featuring a colorway of black, turquoise and red.   Two other low-tops are included in this bunch in the form of a black and gum Blazer Low Hybrid along with a grey and yellow Air Classic.  Lightening things up in is a dope looking light blue and dark blue Blazer that should remain pretty clean as Springtime rolls around.  If any or all of these pique your interest head over to CCS to conveniently pre-order these now.  via clothejl

The Nike Zoom LeBron VI has benefited from the widest selection of colourways given to any of King James’ signature shoes.  We know that the third edition of the Zoom LeBron Soldier is set to release early this summer in conjunction with a presumably deep playoff run for BronBron’s Cleveland Cavaliers, and now have proof of a lowtop version of his regular season kicks.  The pair pictured above is mostly white with perforated uppers and a light grey heel adding some texture.  A much sought after feature on other all white steppers, this Nike Zoom Lebron VI Low has an icy translucent outline on the sole.  Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more pics and release info as temperatures start to rise.  via LRJ23

Today has been quite a day for the Nike Hypermax.  Earlier, we saw two PEs designed for a couple of the NBA’s most effective big men.  Now, it’s a pair inspired by a player who was so tenacious in playing over his height down on the block that he earned the moniker ‘The Round Mound of Rebound’.  Featuring an image of his Air Max2 CB 34, this Hypermax captures ‘Sir’ Charles Barkley’s irreverent persona with the proclamation, “So technologically advanced, you won’t understand it.”  We’re not sure how the colourful accents laid upon the black/grey upper relate to Sir Chuck’s career in The Association, but our current understanding is that Marqueesole is stocking US sizes 8.5-11.  Pics via Kenlu

If you’ve been monitoring all the previews of the upcoming Air Jordan Force VI Fusions, it’s officially time to make some tough choices. Three different pairs will hit stores today and unless you plan on copping all three, there are some decisions to be made. If it helps any, the White/Black/Electrolime is available at Nikestore.com and White/Black/Varsity Purple versions is available at Finishline.com as well as nationwide Jordan retailers and should be a little easier to get your hands on. The Black/Walnut/Court Blue (Black History Month) pair on the other hand drops at the Air Jordan Flight Club and House of Hoops and will be a bit scarcer. Happy hunting with whichever you decide on.

Earlier, we showed you Pau Gasol’s Nike Hypermax PE (player exclusive) to match his Los Angeles Lakers’ home jerseys.  We’ve seen Carlos Boozer’s Nike PEs before, and since C.Booz’ bucks are largely earned by his powerful post presence, the Hypermax is a good fit for his latest kicks.  Rocking a simple columbia blue and black colourway with hints of white, Boozer’s PE perfectly matchs the Utah Jazz away jersey.  After the jump, you’ll see a pic of Boozer ballin’ in his Power Max PE.  It’s up to you to decide which you like better, and if you’re feelin’ the Hypermax, Marqueesole has US sizes 9.5-10.5.  Pics via Kenlu

Pau Gasol already has his own player exclusive (PE) version of the Nike Power Max.  While he’s certainly the better performer of the Spanish-born Gasol brothers, we wouldn’t typically think of him as a multiple-release guy.  Pau has rocked those Power Max and a few different pairs of Hyperdunk PEs, so the next logical step would be a combination of their strengths: the Nike Hypermax.  Combining the Flywire-eqipped upper from the Hyperdunk with the full length Air Max sole on the Power Max and throwing in a ankle strap for extra stability, the Hypermax should be a perfect compliment to Pau’s smooth low post game.  If you’re feelin the Los Angeles Lakers’ home white/purple/gold colourway, Marqueesole has them in US size 11.  pics via Kenlu

If you are not a fan of the Air Jordan Force Fusions, this may be a more understated way of showing your Jordan appreciation on a pair of Air Force 1′s. By now, you’ve probably already got a look at some of the elephant print Air Force 1 models, but you may not have seen this dark navy pair. Unlike the more subtle tonal printing on some other pieces of this collection, the elephant skin design on this low model features more of a contrast with tan printing on the dark upper. A white Swoosh and sole add additional accents that really make the shoe pop. They are officially scheduled to release on March 1st, 2009 but a few are already on eBay.
