We’ve been showing you a lot of upcoming Zoom LeBron VI Low colorways, and they seem to have gone from the very basic, like the white/grey version, to the more involved red snakeskin and white/denim versions. Nike will keep the style evolving with another interesting blend of colors and materials on this St. Vincent St. Mary’s version. Nike is giving a nod to LeBron’s old high school stomping grounds with this fresh white/green/gold version. The shoe features nice textural elements on some of the green sections, using a pebbled leather effect to give the shoe an extra touch of flavor. The white leather base and midsole are offset by a metallic gold Swoosh and a classic gum outsole. We are still waiting for a specific release date on these, but it could be sometime in the very near future so stay tuned. Via dunk.com.cn.

We got a first glance at this inverted-Gucci-coloured collabo last week.  Those pics of the Standard x DC Shoes Admiral showcased the hightop sneakers in a grassy setting, showing off a primary source of inspiration.  Today, we get an up-close look at the green insoles that evoke the astroturf floors at the new Standard shop in Atlanta’s Lenox Square.  We can also see the varying gauges of perforations in the true red leather and suede upper, a colour taken from the goalpost-like in-store hangers.  This pair will drop on Sunday, May 10th only at the Lenox Square location, so be sure to stop by if you’re in or around the ATL.

The DC Shoes Ryan Smith 2.0 signature model dropped last summer in a trio of simple colourways.  This latest release is a more colourful design cooked up by DC in collaboration with UXA.  The ‘Big Apple’ edition features a red, black and green upper, complete with apple embroidery on the rear quarter.   All three of these colours are also integrated in the vulcanized rubber cup sole, making for a perfectly sticky skate shoe.  UXA logos appear in the form of tongue and embroidery, plus a hang tag on the side panels.   These are available now at select DC Shoes retailers.

A couple of months ago, some blurry resized photos of the upcoming LeBron VII, nicknamed the Phantom, showed up on a couple of websites. Now, we finally get a clearer look at what the shoe will actually look like. This image shows a grade school sized sample, so there may be some minor or even major differences between the shoe pictured here and the version that will actually release, but you take what you can get from a sneak preview. The adult sizes will reportedly have a Max LeBron VII logo, but who knows what can happen between now and October, when the first colorway drops. For now, the shoe sports a very high cut and is equipped with Flywire and a full visible Air Max sole unit. We’ll see how close the final version stays to this sample, but it looks like a good start. This black on black pair is slated for a December 1st release, but there will definitely be a lot more info to report between now and then, so sit tight and we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, you can check out the blurry LeBron VII Phantom image after the jump. Via NT.

A few weeks ago, we gave you a sneak peek at the Quai 54 edition of the new Jordan Elements model and now we have some images of another colorway that has a bit more of a traditional Jordan feel. Going all the way back to the Air Jordan 1, there has been something about a white/black/red color scheme that just looked so right and these kicks are no exception. This Jordan Elements model features black patent leather around the toe and the base of the upper with full-grain white leather used on the remainder of the design. The transparent midsole sports a red stripe with a black base showing through on the outsole. At a quick glance, these look like they could be an Air Jordan signature model even more than some of the actual recent Jordan releases. There is no confirmed release date for these, but look for other Jordan Elements colorways to begin dropping in July. Via FatBoyKickz.

Another new Air Jordan “hybrid” has surfaced and this one uses an Air Jordan III outsole compiled together with a newly designed upper that comes complete with a ankle strap reminiscent of some of the older Nike Basketball and Air Jordan shoes of the past. The first colorway that should be released of the Air Jordan Flight 45 is this Black, Grey, and Red colorway that uses the infamous Elephant Print designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield. This particular colorway not only uses the Elephant Print but also smooth leather and nubuck on the shoe’s upper. Stay tuned for more release information surrounding the Air Jordan Flight 45. via marqueesole

As you saw yesterday with the release of the Zoom LeBron VI MVP edition, Nike was ready well in advance for the award to be announced and apparently they weren’t the only ones prepared with a special shoe. Sneaker customizer, T.Way spent over 40 hours hand painting these very special LeBron MVP Air Force 1′s to be given to King James at his MVP press conference. The kicks feature a Cleveland Cavaliers color scheme, using navy for the base with crimson and gold accents. In addition to the colorway, several personal touches were included to commemorate the accomplishment, such as a jumble of game and season stats scrawled in white on the heel panels and also an MVP logo, complete with chalk cloud on the side of the mudguard. In addition, T.Way also included some special tongue labels featuring LeBron’s crown logo and number and the initials L and a J on the left and right insoles. Check out some more pics and a short video after the jump. Via NiceKicks.

The latest in a long line of cartoonish collaborations, the new Bodé x Puma Mid ‘Da Lizard’ pack reunites the Cheech Wizard with, you guessed it, Da Lizard.  Mark Bodé once again called on his father’s work to customize two new pairs of Mids, one each in green or blue.  Both feature Da Lizard character embroidered on the side panels, and again on the insole and lining.  Vaughn Bodé’s signature appears beside the Puma insigina near Da Lizard and also on the outsoles.  These will be available at select Puma retailers on Saturday, May 16th, accompanied by a Bodé Hoodie and a couple of tees.  Click the jump below to see the stores set to carry these and a bunch of other photos.

We’ve been keeping you well-informed about the well-received new Nike SB Stefan Janoski Pro Model and now they are finally here. This past weekend, a release party/skate jam was held in Sacramento to celebrate the drop of Stefan’s shoe and from the looks of it, everyone had a blast. After the skate session at the 28th & B Skatepark, everybody headed over to Upper Playground for a party that included a display of multiple colorways of the kicks, as well as a collection of Stefan Janoski photographs by Jeff Landi. Check out some more pics of the happenings after the jump. Via Transworld.

Most sandals from the Swoosh take an athletic lean.  This is not the case with the new Nike Tekapo Slide JP TZ.  Designed by Nike Sportswear’s Japanese team, the Tekapo features cris-crossing straps, of which the thinner, bottom strap is adjustable.  There’s a pair each in black leather or white nylon and each features a speckled tonal midsole and a rugged outsole.  A Tier Zero release, these will be hard to get a hold of, but you can cop them now at NSW’s 21 Mercer St. flagship (and probably soon on the ‘bay).

We saw these about two weeks ago as a European exclusive available at NikeStore UK.  Nothing has changed with their regional availability, but we found a Euro retailer that ships stateside.  The Nike Air Max 1 ND pictured above is among the Swoosh’s special celebrations commemorating the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s historic steps on the moon.  This thme is reflected in the crumpled metalic silver leather that represents both the lunar surface and the LEM (lunar excursion module) that touched down in the Sea of Tranquility.  Make a little history of your own by being the only one on your block to have them when you cop a pair from Titolo.
