As you probably already know, the third colorway of the highly sought-after Nike Air Yeezy just dropped last weekend and like with the others, they were extremely limited in quantities, forcing retailers to come up with creative ways to sell them so that customers might actually have a shot at copping a pair. At the Nike flagship store in Singapore, they chose to put together a raffle for the 48 pairs that were up for grabs, and as you would expect, there was quite a crowd gathered to try to get their hands on a pair. Singapore turned out to be the only country in South East Asia to receive the Net/Net Yeezy’s, so people were not playing around. In addition to the Yeezy raffle, local artist Killer Gerbil was also on hand to sign copies of his Air Yeezy illustrations. You can check out some more pics of the event after the jump.

Eric Koston has consistently been one of the most brilliant skaters in the game for quite a while, so when news first broke that he was leaving his longtime shoe sponsor, Lakai, all sorts of speculation began to brew on what company he would wind up with. After being photographed in a pair of Big Gulp Nike Dunk SB’s a few months back, rumors of a possible Nike SB sponsorship began to circulate around the web. With all that idle chatter buzzing around already, Koston was recently caught on video skating with plastic bags over his shoes. People immediately began to wonder why his kicks were being kept such a secret, and now today, the official announcement came down that Eric will indeed be joining the Nike SB team.
The addition of Koston instantly adds even more superstar firepower to the brand and it’s safe to say that it’s only a matter of time now before an Eric Koston signature model is in the works. Upon joining the team, Eric had this to say:
“Not only am I psyched to be a part of the great group of guys that makes up the Nike SB team, but I’m equally as excited to work with them creatively. I’m sure many people know that a lot of different Nike’s have been the inspiration for my shoe designs over the last 12 years, so I feel like a fucking kid in a candy store when it comes to this partnership between Nike and I.”

Back in April, a similar Black/Red/White version of this Air Force 1 Low Premium dropped and was well-received thanks to the simple color scheme and the variety of materials used on the upper. Now a new pair has emerged that uses a similar design, but with a few small changes. Like the other Air Force 1 model, these kicks use a solid Black upper and solid White midsole/outsole with a combination of mesh and premium leather on the upper, but this time around, the mesh is only used for the mid panels. Also, the accents have been switched from Varsity Red to Varsity Maize, giving the shoe a look all its own despite the other similarities. There is no confirmed info on a U.S. release date, but stay tuned for all the latest and be sure to check out some more images of these kicks after the jump. Via Dunk.com.

The Nike Dynasty High first debuted in 1981 with a simpler leather/mesh design, but in 1986, Nike released an all leather version with an ankle strap like the pair shown above. The Dynasty has never received much sneakerhead fanfare, but maybe that’s because it’s never been re-released until now. Nike will be bringing back a Retro version of the Dynasty High for the upcoming spring 2010 season and from the looks of it, it should have a pretty good shot at a nice comeback. This version features an Dark Navy/White leather upper with a classic-looking White ankle strap. Look for these to drop some time down the road and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date with the latest info. Via Leaders 1354.

Last month, we gave you a sneak peek at the upcoming Air Jordan DMP 1 Retro High pack and the response has been pretty mixed so far. With all the different Air Jordan 1 High colorways that have been dropping lately, a lot of sneakerheads seem to be on the fence regarding this DMP pack. As you can see, the pack consists of two different Air Jordan 1 Retro High models. One sports the traditional Black/Red Bulls color scheme, while the other represents for one of Michael’s first major rivals, the Boston Celtics. With the July 11th release date looming, we are starting to see some new images of this pack, including our first look at the very cool collector’s box. For some more up close pics of these kicks, keep reading after the jump and stay tuned for further information. If you want to make sure you get yours, you can already pre-order the Air Jordan DMP 1 Retro High 60+ Pack on eBay now. Via NT.

We first showed you a sneak peek at this intriguing Big Nike High all the way back in March as part of our Sneaker Con recap, and at the time, it was unknown if these would ever be released for retail. To the delight of many sneakerheads, this new style will in fact be hitting shelves some time in July. The shoe features a Black suede upper with Volt accents on the laces, lining and transparent outsole, as well as on the huge Nike logo that replaces the trademark Swoosh on the side of the upper. The kingsize Nike logo features a Safari-ish Volt print with a Bright Red outline around it. Additional Red accents can be found on the tongue label and piping, helping to give this shoe an even bolder look. We’ll keep you up to date on the exact release info once it has been confirmed.

Here we have a look at a new Nike Blazer Mid that takes the same approach as the Big Nike High that we just showed you by swapping out the standard Swoosh for an extra-large Nike logo. These kicks feature a Grey suede upper with sections of Black patent leather and some vibrant yellow accents on the midsole and laces among other places. In the spot where you would normally find a Swoosh, there is a large Nike logo that is printed in the same Safari-esque style as on the Big Nike. These have already hit select Nike retailers and will be arriving at more sneaker spots in the very near future. Photos: JordanBrandSeller / 95Soleman.
You can also find these on ebay now.

By now, you have probably already seen our preview of this latest version of the Air Max 95 and if history has shown us anything, it’s that as long as an Air Max 95 model uses the classic gradient Grey color scheme as its base, they will probably be a hit. Over the years, Nike has added countless different accent colors to this fool-proof formula and the newest version will likely keep up the success. This Air Max 95 uses various shades of Grey on the upper with a black midsole and fresh Mint accents on the Swoosh, Air bubbles and lacing loops. These kicks are expected to hit select Nike retailers this week, so don’t sleep if you’ve been waiting on them. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

The Nike SB Zoom Classic isn’t typically among the high profile releases from Beaverton’s skate collection, but this new edition might change that. The Zoom Classic Horror Eyes represents the first time the Classic is receiving its own first run thematic treatment. The shoe features a clean all black upper plus white, red and gold accents. The theme is further fleshed out on a ‘Horror Eyes’ t-shirt and 5-panel cap. These joints are set for an October release, just in time for halloween. via N-SB.org

As we all know, the Blazer features a pretty simple design with a lot of open space to decorate and that’s exactly what Nike has done with the white uppers on this womens’ low model. The shoe features a basic color scheme with a solid White base and Black accents on the Swoosh, heel and toe cap. Simple enough so far, but the real attraction of these kicks is the intricate Metallic Gold pattern graphics that are scrawled all over the side of the White uppers. The design makes for a very interesting look that will be sure to turn heads when these kicks drop. We’ll keep you up on the latest info as it comes, and in the meantime, you can see a bunch more looks at this womens’ Blazer Low after the jump. Via Dunk.com.
