Last week, we gave you a super in-depth look at the Toro Bravo pack and now its time to get an up-close and personal preview of the upcoming White/Dark Army Air Jordan V. We have been posting some sneak peeks of this shoe for a while, but now we finally get to see it from just about every angle imaginable. As you can see, there are quite a few differences between these and the look-see sample that we showed you a few days back. The lining pattern, contrast stitching, white speckled midsole section and the “23″ embroidery on the heel are all welcomed additions and this shoe will no doubt be a hot commodity when it hits stores next month, even though it’s such an obscure colorway for an Air Jordan model. Check out a bunch more pics of this Air Jordan V after the jump and stay tuned for specific release details. Via Kenlu.

Here we have an unreleased prototype sample from the ongoing Nike x Fragment Design partnership. The shoe blends elements of the Air Force 1 and Tennis Classic to create a new shoe with its own personality. They basically use a solid white Tennis Classic upper design fused together with a black Air Force 1 midsole to give the shoe a slightly chunkier look. A few stylish touches are then added to the simple silhouette, like the Fragment logo on the side of the heel, a special tongue label, and most noticeably, a Panda graphic on the upper heel panel. These would have made for an interesting release, but it’s not looking like that is going to happen. The good news is that this size 9 sample is up for grabs over at SampleKickz, but before you make your move, be sure to check out some more pics of these after the jump. Via IndividualSole.

A whole batch of Nike Zoom Flight Club Supreme PE’s has just hit House of Hoops and now comes the difficult decision of who’s kicks to scoop up. Four different NBA players have a shoe in the collection, each personalized with the players’ logos and team colors. The standout colorway of the bunch has to be the Washington Wizards-inspired Caron Butler shoe which features his nickname, 3D, on the ankle strap. Also joining in the fun are kicks made for Shawn “Matrix” Marion, Bulls shooting guard Ben Gordon and Memphis Grizzlies up-and-comer, OJ Mayo. All four Zoom Flight Club Supreme PE’s just dropped earlier this week exclusively at House of Hoops, so if one or more pair are calling your name, you’d better act fast. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Back in March, we gave you a thorough preview of the Retro release of the Air Max ST. Originally released in 1992, the Air Max ST was at one time the most technologically advanced running shoe on the market. Even with its innovative construction, sleek good looks and performance capabilities, the shoe never really found its way into the hearts of sneakerheads, at least not on a mass scale or in a lasting way. Those who were around for the original Air Max ST probably remember it fondly, but its legacy has been, for the most part, forgotten.
Nike will be bringing back the ST in some new and original colorways this fall and now we get a look at the latest colorway sample to emerge. This version of the Air Max ST is similar to the original colorway, but replaces the Hot Red with more of a Varsity Red and breaks up the White plane with a section of Black wrapping all the way around the lower half of the upper. There is no word yet if this colorway will be joining the White/Black/Hot Red and Dark Grey/Black/White versions that are due this fall, but you can play it safe and try to pick up this size 9 sample pair now on eBay.

Toronto Raptors big man Chris Bosh is no stranger to Nike PE’s. In fact, last year, we showed you a look at his slick Hyperdunk PE model and now as the Hyperdunk has matured into the Hyperize, it’s time for Chris to get hooked up with a new pair. This Nike Hyperize features a white upper with heavy black accents and some additional red highlights on the outsole, tongue and heel branding, as well as within the Flywire pattern on the side of the shoe. Just so there is no confusion over who these kicks were made for, a CB4 logo appears on the tongue label. According to FootLockerUnlocked, these are expected to be released in December, but without the Chris Bosh personalizations. That’s bad news if you’re a Chris Bosh fan or a PE collector, but luckily these kicks are still looking good enough to stand on their own. Check out a look at some more pics after the jump.

The Air Max 90 and Air Huarache were two of the most memorable Nike running shoes to come out of the 90′s and sneakerheads’ undying love for both has inspired Nike to combine the two into one model. By now, you’ve probably already seen a few different colorways of the upcoming Air Max 90 Current Huarache, but most have been pretty bold when it comes to the color schemes, so it’s nice to see a more conservative version will be joining the others. While the Hufquake and DQM editions take a bit of a wilder approach, these kicks keep it nice and simple, using a solid black upper with white accents and laces.
Like the solid red pair that we showed you a few days ago, this Air Max 90 Current Huarache allows the attention to be focused on the design and sleek silhouette rather than a busy color combo. Look for these to hit select Nike retailers this July, and if you really can’t wait, they’re available for pre-order now at End. While you’re waiting for all that time to pass, you can check out some close-up looks at the shoe after the jump.

One of our favorite female artists, Rihanna, was spotted in New York City on Monday leaving the recording studio in a fresh pair of Nike SB Blazer High Premium’s. Rihanna was seen wearing a Perfecto Leather Jacket by Jeremy Scott and these Purple Suede Blazer SB’s. If you’re a fan of Rihanna then you might know that she’s actually a big fan of Blazer’s and has also been seen wearing the Nike x Cassette Playa Blazer High Supreme’s as well.

Since the mid 80′s, Air Jordan sneakers have been known for being on the cutting edge of both fashion and footwear technology, always being depended on for the most up-to-the-minute performance and aesthetics. Now that the Jordan line has so widely expanded, doors have opened up for the creation of some simpler styles that are not so worried about pushing the limits of sneaker design. The new Jordan Campus Chukka takes Jordan Brand in a different direction, offering a more sophisticated lifestyle model to those who are determined to stay fresh even as they get older or possibly just when dressier situations come up.
The Campus Chukka uses premium materials and a simpler design to bring the Jordan-style to the lifestyle sneaker market. The design is very basic, but definitely flaunts some unmistakable Jordan flavor. The first Jordan Campus Chukka colorway will be a black suede model with a white midsole and will be a limited edition release on June 1st. At least two other versions will release nationwide in August, adding Light Chocolate and Sail to the Campus Chukka arsenal. Stay tuned for more on the Jordan Campus Chukka and be sure to check out the fresh Light Chocolate colorway after the jump. Via Freshness.

Nike already gave a nod to the city of Houston back in February with a sizzurp-dripping Vandal High model that was part of their “For the Love of the City” pack. Well, apparently the folks at Nike still had more love to give to the city and will now honor a different long-standing Houston tradition with the “Space City” Big Nike Low. The shoe is a tribute to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center which is the home of the Mission Control Center, astronaut training facilities and several other programs that we don’t have the security clearance to mention at this time.
The “Space City” Big Nike Low features a silver upper with a tarnished metallic heel panel and a navy blue patent leather Swoosh. Also of note are the planetary ring Nike logo on the heel and the speckled outsole that resembles an infinite galaxy loaded with those stars that we hear are so big and bright at night deep in the heart of Texas. These will be released as a House of Hoops exclusive on June 19th. Via FootLockerUnlocked.
