Nike will be releasing a new Blazer Mid Lite this upcoming month at select Nike Tier Zero retailers in three different colorways including Neon Turquoise, Dark Obsidian, and Neutral Grey. The Nike Blazer Mid Lite features the use of rip-stop nylon on the shoe’s upper and full grain leather for the shoe’s Swoosh. The rip-stop nylon allows for the shoes to be more breathable during the Summer months. All three colorways come on a vulcanized White outsole with a colored stripe. via WARPEDSTORE

This particular colorway features the usage of a few different materials including full grain leather, nubuck, as well as some plastic overlays similar to what has been used on past Nike/Jordan sneakers such as the Air Jordan IV.

As far as the Air Jordan Fusion IX (AJF 9) goes, this is it.  While it’s possible that there could be more lowtop versions, this is the last of the midtop AJF9s we’ve seen, which suggests it’ll be the final colourway for this run.  The latest ‘Best of Both Worlds’ is going out in style with this clean Chicago Bulls-based palette.  The white leather upper is framed in black, while red accents complete the theme.  These will see an official release next Monday, June 1, but you can go ahead and grab them today from Vault.

Barca wins, and Nike’s timing is impeccable.  FC Barcelona defeated defending champion Manchester United to win the UEFA Champions League earlier today (or last night, depending on when/where you’re reading this).  Someone in Beaverton must’ve had a hunch, because we’re already seeing samples of an ultra-rare Nike Blazer inspired by the Spanish conquerors.  This shoe is stunning in white patent leather with tonal blue diagonal stripes on the rear parts, plus a neon yellow Swoosh.  Barca-inspired crests featuring the immortal ‘NIKE AIR’ logo appear on the tongue and heel, completing the look.  If you’re an avid football fan or collector, act fast to cop these now from Mental Kicks.

It seems like over the last few months, there have been a bunch of new Air Max Light colorways dropping and despite the shoe’s sleek look and classic appeal, the model never seems to get the hype and respect that it deserves. This latest Air Max Light uses a super-crisp color scheme to make sure that they do a better job of standing out among the Nike Retro pack. The shoe features a Black leather/mesh upper that is nicely contrasted by White toe and heel mudguards, as well as a White midsole and lining. A Metallic Gold Swoosh and accents finish off the look and add some nice highlights to the striking color blocking. If you’ve been letting all these fresh Air Max Light colorways pass you by, this pair might be worth a second look. You can pick up a pair of these now at SneakersNStuff and be sure to peruse some more detailed photos after the jump.

The original Air Huarache colorways have been popping up on a lot of unrelated models lately and the latest victim is the Zoom Sharkley. You may have already seen the Air Max 90 and Air Force 1 models that borrow this White/Royal/Mean Green color scheme and now it’s the Zoom Sharkley’s turn to pay tribute to a classic. The shoe features a white leather upper with black accents on the tongue and midsole, but  it’s the strong doses of Royal and Mean Green that give these kicks some added Retro appeal. If this Zoom Sharkley is up your alley, you can pick up a pair now at FinishLine. In case you are still on the fence about these, you can get a look at some additonal photos after the jump.

A lot of sneakerheads were not too pleased to learn that the Zoom LeBron VI MVP Edition had sold out before most people were even aware that they existed. After the first run sold out so quickly on NikeStore, a backlash of disappointed collectors made a lot of noise that must have reached all the way to Beaverton, because now Nike will be giving you another crack at these this weekend. The Zoom LeBron VI MVP will be hitting House of Hoops in limited quantities this coming Saturday, May 30th and will likely sell out quickly. If you’ve been regretting missing out on these since earlier this month, here is your second chance to add this nice piece to your collection. You can see some more detailed images of the shoe after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Especially after getting a look at the wild Elephant Print Air Force 1 Bespoke by Makoto, the  question of whether or not the use of the classic pattern had become excessive, but when given the option to use it, we understand why it would be hard to pass up. The latest Air Force 1 Bespoke to make a name for itself is this fresh new concoction from Brian A. Ruffin. Because of the grey Elephant Print heel, the shoe bears a slight resemblance to the Plus41 x Grotesk Bespoke that we showed you a few weeks ago, but there are plenty of other touches added to give the shoe its own personality.

The Elephant Print heel section is met by a medium grey midpanel and a solid white toe box and eyelet section. A black midsole, accents and waxed laces are also included, but it’s the transparent ice outsole and the red stripe and “AIR” logo that give this Air Force 1 some real thoughtful style points. We’ll keep you posted on the latest in Bespoke happenings, and in the meantime, you can check out some more pics of these stunners after the jump. To set up a design session to create your own Bespoke model, check in at NSW for details.
