The talk of the internet sneaker websites as of this past week has been around the newest Nike SB x Supreme collaboration. This time Supreme is helping Nike SB launch their newest SB sneaker, the Nike SB Bruin, which is a similar shoe to the Blazer Low. The upper is a bit different but they both feature a vulcanized outsole. The Nike SB x Supreme Bruin will come in four different colorways including Black, Red, Green, and White. Each shoe features “World Famous” on the back of the shoes as well as “Supreme” on the outsole. Additionally you can find a double-label keychain on every shoe. Make sure you get your camping gear ready as these will be released on April 16th, 2009 at Supreme New York and LA. via Complex

With all the layers and sections of the Nike Air Max 95, there are so many possibilities for color combinations and by now, countless concepts have been explored. With all the wild and colorful versions that have been released over the years, it’s nice when a more solid colorway comes along to simplify the look and draw the attention more to the shoe’s silhouette rather than the colors that make it up. This Air Max 95 features a black on black upper and midsole with bright Electro Lime accents that really pop in contrast. The sneaker also has a reflective silver tongue and matching netted area around the eyelets. If you’ve been waiting for another simple Air Max 95 colorway to come along, you can pick up a pair now at JDsports.

The Nike Air Wildwood has made a major comeback in the last year or so with a bunch of interesting new colorways. As one of the charter members of the ACG family, it was only a matter of time before the Air Wildwood was retroed back into sneakerheads’ current rotation. This newest colorway bears some definite color scheme similarities to the Nintendo-inspired version from late last year, but this pair has more of a luxurious premium feel thanks to the snakeskin Swoosh. Aside from the snakeskin material, the shoe is fairly clean and simple with a white leather upper that is contrasted by black on the toe and heel and a grey midsole. If you like what you see, you can get yours now on eBay.

Nike will be releasing a new Tier 0 shoe in April and it’s a new colorway of the Air Footscape Woven. The Air Footscape Woven is one of the most popular shoes in Asia and amongst serious sneakerheads here in the US but has always been slept on. This new colorway is a clean White and Black colorway that features an upper which uses a similar Stripe pattern to that of the Air Max 1 and Air Footscape that were released not too long ago. You can pick up these new Air Footscape Woven’s at select Nike Tier 0 accounts including LimitedEdt. via Hypebeast

If sheer number of releases were the mark of brand dominance, Jordan Brand would have a surprising rival.  Vans has released a ton of new kicks lately and including their premium Vault collection, there’s something for everyone.  We saw their Chukka releases for springtime on Friday.  There was a representative from the questionably named Khaki Pack, one in light beige (this one looks more like ‘khaki’ to us) and another with an eye-poppingly patriotic design.  As it turns out, the last one is part of a pack and today we see the rest.

The Vans Angle Stripe Pack includes the aforementioned Chukka, a pair of Authentics and their classic Slip-Ons.  All Three feature blue toes and tongues to provide a solid jump-off for the crazy red and white staggered stripes.  Throw in white laces (except the Slip-Ons, of course) and the signature white vulcanized rubber sole and these joints represent Vans’ status as American icons.  Ironically enough, we found these at Japanese e-tailer ripe, but you can cop the Chukkas at NYC’s own Dave’s Quality Meats, so we expect them and other nearby Vans retailers to stock the other two pairs soon.

In 2004, Nike’s Innovation Kitchen initiated a deep dive research project. Directive: Develop a 21st century boot for 21st century high speed operators.

Flexible (promotes natural motion): Utilizes new technology targeted for optimizing athletic speed and agility for peak performance. Very comfortable: No “break-in period” needed was a common response from soldiers and others when testing this product. Superior comfort for extended wear, right out of the box. Truly athletic: Inspired by and built for, the equals to any tier one athletes on the planet: elite military, law enforcement and first responder professionals. Heritage: Nike’s co-founder and legendary University of Oregon Track coach Major Bill Bowerman served in the 10th Mountain Division and was decorated during World War II. Nike recently announced the SFB Boot and for those anticipating the sneaker, you can get both colors now at nikestore.com.

Nike’s been using alot of nylon lately, and their Vandal-Inspired Dunks were the shout that started an avalanche.  This new pair of Nike Dunk High Nylon Premiums appears in an abominable mix of white and neutral grey plus a touch of colour on the tongue tag.  We think they’re a masterful approach to the white shoe for summer, but if you think they’re a little too low-key, feel free to pop in the complimentary purple laces.  These are available now at NSW retailers like Sneakers N Stuff.

We usually bemoan the seemingly forgotten mantra of ‘pink and shrink’ for ladies sneakers, but these are dope enough to make an exception to the rule.  This pair of Nike Air Force 1 WMNS is the counter-offer to a pair we saw earlier this week.  We saw em a while back and figured that the colours and flower pring indicated a Valentines Day release, but these will do just fine for spring/summer.  The key feature is the rear quarter/heel panel, which features pink with white flowers near the front and flips these hues about halfway back.  They’ll drop soon at select NSW retailers stateside, and you can cop em now from atmos.

LaDainian Tomlinson put his mark on the 1World series of Nike Air Force 1s a while back.  Though the AF1 is a basketball shoe first and lifestyle choice second, here’s another take on them inspired by Nike’s football athletes.  The 2009 NFL Pro Bowl edition of the Nike Air Force 1 was given to the select few who made it to Honolulu a week after Super Bowl XLIII.  Featuring a dope mix of blues spread across premium leather and suede, these joints rock an archipellago on the rear quarter area in honour of the game’s home for the last 30 years. 

Announced earlier that the NFL’s All Star game will return to Aloha Stadium in 2011 after a one-night stand at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium next year, the Pro Bowl itself is a much easier ticket than these kicks.  Though you’re in the same boat with LT in not getting a pair of these by earning a Pro Bowl nod, you can always check the ‘bay.  In lieu of getting your hands on a pair, feel free to click the jump and enjoy a few more shots.  via TSG

After watching their team dispatched by Mizzou’s squad, fans of the University of Memphis are unquestionably angered by seeing the ‘other’ Tigers still hoopin’ it up in search of a ticket to Detroit.  Maybe this’ll cheer ‘em up.  Though they’ll likely never be worn, since Memphis’ second season with the Swoosh will probably feature new kicks for the 2009-10 season, this pair of Nike Zoom LeBron VIs with their logo on the outer heel is still quite impressive.  Featuring a black toe with the remainder of the upper in blue suede, these joints are perfectly balanced with a white swoosh, midsole stitching and other accents.  Memphis’ shot at the title is gone while LeBron’s is gaining momentum.  Whether you’ll be able to grasp this grail is uncertain, but we’ll be sure to let you know if these ever release.  via SC

It was only a matter of time.  The Air Jordan Dub Zero got the hybrid ball rolling and the Six (6) Rings focused solely on the kicks MJ rocked whilst marching toward the Larry O’Brien Trophy.  In between, a whole line of hybrids mashing various Air Jordans into the Air Force 1 emerged as the Air Jordan Force series.  Both the Dub Zero and Six Rings featured the Air Jordan XIII‘s triangular side panels and that model is finally being ‘Forced’.

The Air Jordan Force XIII (AJF13) appears here in early artists renderings, having yet to emerge in sample form.  AJ fans will recognize them as the regular season home colourway, the Flint Grey All Star do-up that graced the latest Six Rings that released today and the playoff palette worn in the 1998 tourney’s road games.  All three feature the aforementioned golf ball-inspired side panels and two of the three have dimpled straps.  Other notable design elements include the outer heel hologram inserts

A ‘Nike Air’ logo on the formerly soft elastic, now suede/leather upper heel and a two-toned AF1 sole divided by the pod-like design on the AJXIII bring the design together.  Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest pictures and release info.
