Nike’s LeBron line is starting to grow bigger every year with more colorways and now more spin-off models. Everybody knows about the Zoom LeBron VI and we are now three installments deep into the Zoom Soldier Series, but now its the Zoom LBJ Ambassador that is back in its second design to help provide some back-up to the other LeBron models. The Cleveland Cavaliers and St. Vincent St. Mary-inspired colorways of the Zoom Ambassador II were already previewed last month, but here are two additional versions that will be arriving later this year. One will feature a black on black scheme throughout with the other Zoom Ambassador II sporting what appears to be a blue denim upper with additional white and navy accents. All four are expected to hit stores some time later this year, so we’ll keep you posted on release info. Via Kenlu.

Reebok has once again teamed up with Japanese retailer, Chapter, for a new collaboration pack, and like their Juggernaut Pack from a few months ago, the subjects are also the Pump Omni Lite and the Court Victory Pump. This time around, instead of solid colorways, both shoes go in the total opposite direction of the Juggernaut kicks, using a rainbow of bright pastel colors to bring these two classics to life. Different shades of pink, green, yellow, purple and blue can be found on both, as well as sections of patent leather on the Pump Omni Lite and a hexagon pattern on the heel of the Court Victory Pump. If you’re still not sold, then just turn out the lights. This isn’t called the Glow Pack for nothing. Check out the images after the jump for a look at what these kicks look like in the dark. Both pairs are available now at Chapter.

While they’ve been a mainstay on the streets since the mid 90s thanks to a push from Ghostface Killah and other hip-hop stars, it’s still crazy to think that Clarks Originals has been around for sixty years. It was back in 1949 when Nathan Clark combined rough suede with crepe soles like the ones he’d seen while stationed in Cairo. Today, these new models take the Desert Boot design to new heights with a dope pack of crazy fabrics and patterns. From the classic beige suede to a model with a paisley print, these six new pairs are sure to find favor with a wide variety of buyers. These joints will release in Fall/Winter 2009 to commemorate the design and their release a year later in 1950. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for updates. via HB

Last month, we gave you a sneak peek at Nike’s new Zoom Skyposite basketball shoe and now we have some new colorways to show you. The ongoing theme with these color schemes seems to be that many appear to be inspired by other popular Nike basketball models. As mentioned in the previous Skyposite post, the royal blue version keeps it in the “posite” family with a nod to some Air Penny kicks and the black on black model sports some diagonal stripes that are reminiscent of the Air Jordan 2009. Now we get a look at a pair in the fan-favorite “eggplant” colorway and another bears certain similarities to the Chaos edition of the Zoom Kobe IV. The metallic silver pair could quite possibly be based on Tim Duncan’s Total Foamposite Max shoe. These shout outs are always appreciated by fans of the Nike Basketball legacy and will likely make these kicks a hit when they drop this coming fall/winter. Via Kenlu.

The latest Nike Air Max 1 Premium Quickstrike, a shoe created to celebrate SneakersBR’s second anniversary, looks to a number of different things from Brazil for inspiration on this beautiful Air Max 1 Premium. The shoe’s main inspiration is Pernambuco, a state in Brazil. The shoe keeps true to a number of parts on the original Air Max 1 such as the mesh toebox or suede in the heel. The phrase on the heel written in Portugese is from Chico Science and means “one step ahead and you are no longer in the same place” which is symbollic of what Nike Sportswear represents and how the products that are a part of Nike Sportswear are remixes and recreations of some of Nike’s greatest products in it’s history. The Nike Air Max 1 Premium QK “Lanceiro” is available now at select retailers but will be sold in a special wooden box with other collectible items in June exclusively in Brazil. via SneakersBR

While their collaboration with a magazine named after the fabric is still shrouded in mystery, Nike Sportswear’s Dunk High Nylon continues to roll out in new colours. We got a first look at these back in January, and here are some new pics to tide you over until they release later this year. The Nike Dunk High Nylon Premium appears here in two low-key base colours: silver or black. The silver pair adds a lava red Swoosh and lining to the blue laces for a not-too-patriotic look, while the black joints stand out with yellow laces and a neon green Swoosh. Both are set to drop in Fall 2009, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via HS

Not only is this year’s Zoom LeBron VI model a big hit, but the accompanying Zoom Soldier III seems poised to have a nice run of its own. You’ve probably already seen the black/white/red and “Dunkman” editions, but here are some upcoming Soldier III colorways that will be arriving in a few months. We already previewed the black/camo and white/navy versions, but there are two others new colorways that are making the Zoom Soldier III look pretty sweet. One new model sports a white/turquoise/black color scheme similar to the possible Air Max 93 nod on the Zoom LeBron VI low that we showed you earlier. The other Soldier III features maybe the most stylish touches of all. The shoe flaunts a grey/yellow palette with a large section of Safari print, a speckled midsole and multi-color stitching on the straps. Stay tuned for specific release information as it becomes available. Via Kenlu.

Having already leaked in limited quantities, including a dope White Men Can’t Jump-inspired pair, the Nike Hyperize is building steam towards it’s full rollout for summer and fall of this year. This pair was among the early releases and is set for a July 2009 official drop. Given that you pretty much can’t go wrong with the Chicago Bulls palette, this serves as a safe showcase for the new streamlined Flywire pattern that sets this new model apart from its older brothers. Take a look at all the pictures after the jump and get ready to cop these from Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker this summer.

Thanks to the Jams edition, the Converse Skidgrip is officially back on the map. The shoe features a pretty simple design, but with colorways like these, you could never say they are boring. Converse has just released a new Skidgrip model as part of their ongoing Expo Okinawa collection. The shoe features a black toe box with the remainder of the upper covered by a colorful gradient scheme that features warm colors on the outer half of the shoe with cool colors on the inner section. Merging shades of pink, purple and orange cover one half with blue, green and purple on the opposing side. A clean white midsole and laces help to balance out the color overload of the upper. If you are looking for a bold style to show off this spring, you can pick up a pair of these now at Flauge.

Nike’s Zoom LeBron VI model has definitely been one of the more popular installments of the LeBron line and the low model looks like a safe bet to keep the momentum rolling. We’ve already showed you the Zoom LeBron VI Low in green nylon and white/grey, and now we bring you a look at two new colorways that will be hitting stores later this year. Both pairs feature simple color schemes with patent leather on the Swoosh and toe section. One version sports a solid white upper with a red midsole and black outsole. The other borrows its scheme from a classic Nike running model, bearing some striking similarities in color blocking to the Air Max 93. Look for both to hit Nike retailers this fall/winter.
