Last week we gave you a detailed look at two of the sneakers from the Louis Vuitton and Kanye West collaboration sneaker collection and now we have for you a detailed look at all of the sneakers the the Louis Vuitton Don worked on with the French Fashion House. The three different models in the collection as some of you are aware by now were named by Kanye after members of his inner circle, the shoes include The Don, The Jasper, and The Mr Hudson. La MJC recently put together an entire photoshoot for the sneakers in a real world setting with models who were fortunate enough to be able to wear them before their general release at select Louis Vuitton retailers worldwide. via La MJC // Hypebeast

For a while, new colorways of the upcoming Air Jordan 60+ model were popping up left and right, but lately the shoe has been overshadowed by news of the Bulls/Celtics and Bulls/Magic 60+ Retro packs. Now the attention shifts back to the 60+ hybrid model, a shoe that blends elements of all the shoes that Michael wore during his 60 point performances. Here we have a look at the GS version, which doesn’t appear to be too different from the adult sample sizes seen previously. This version sports a fairly simple solid Black upper with the only accents coming from the White and Varsity Red Air Jordan V midsole and the wild pattern of the Air Jordan VII tongue. So far, people seem to be feeling these, and considering the classic designs that they are inspired by, it’s no wonder. These are expected to hit stores in mid-August, so we’ll be sure to keep you up on the latest leading up to the release, and for now, you can check out a bunch more pics after the jump. Via 52xie.

It looks like whomever suggested these were only dropping at Street Gear in Hempstead was mistaken.  The Nike Air Force 1 QK ‘Jones Beach’ has crashed onto the shore at several different NY-area retailers.  These joints feature a beautifully clean canvas upper with a seaweed-printed leather rear quarter/heel.  The translucent outsole reveals a foamy wave crest, while the tongue tag reps Long Island’s most famous surf spot.  Looks like they will come with an extra pair of soft blue laces, a colour which you can see elsewhere on this pair in the detailed images affter the jump.  You can grab these now if you act fast, from Extra Butter.

Ok, so LeBron may have edged him out for season MVP honors, but other than that, it really was a “dream season” for Kobe Bryant, and now he will get another Nike signature model to help him to remember it. A few weeks ago, we gave you a look at this black/purple version of Kobe’s secondary shoe, the Zoom Dream Season, and now another colorway has emerged, as well as some additional looks at the first pair. Joining the black Dream Season will also be a white pair with a very simple white on white upper and some minimal gold accents. Rather than using the carbon fiber materials like the first pair shown, the white Dream Season will use a more traditional white leather upper. Similar to the black edition, the white kicks will also feature Kobe’s signature on one side of the heel and a “KB24″ logo on the other. Both pairs are expected to hit stores some time late this year. Stay tuned for more info and you can see multiple angles of both colorways after the jump. Via Dunk.Com.Cn

Not too many sneakerheads will be surprised to hear that the home and away 61 Points editions of the Zoom Kobe IV, worn by the Black Mamba during the NBA Finals, will be dropping at House of Hoops this summer. It was originally reported that these would not be released for retail, but after the big response, it had to be a no-brainer for Nike to give the people what they want. To the delight of many, the kicks will be released in both the white and black colorways, complete with gold scribbled text all over. The white “home” version will drop on Wednesday, July 22nd, with the black “away” kicks coming a couple weeks later on Wednesday, August 5th. As of now, it looks like House of Hoops may be the only place to get them, but we’ll be sure to let you know if that changes. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Nike is keeping their nose to the grind as they continue to drop fresh new concepts for the classic Dunk silhouette. Images of two interesting Dunk High models have just emerged and it appears that there are still plenty of ways to help the design to evolve. One new Dunk High follows the lead of some other recent colorways, using a splatter pattern across the rear panel of the shoe. Even without the splatter, these kicks would still be among the bolder recent Dunk colorways, using shades of yellow, green, orange and dark grey on a variety of upper materials. The other new Dunk, keeps things a little simpler, but still offers an eye-catching look with a black/white/neon orange color scheme. Both pairs are expected to be a part of Nike’s fall ’09 collection, which means that they should probably be hitting select retailers in the near future. Keep reading for a look at the other colorway and more and we’ll keep you posted on specific release info. Via TheShoeGame.

Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER has their own line of lowtops and is well known for their fragment design collabos on the Nike Match Classic.  Here’s another lowtop collabo that brings in a third party.  The UNDERCOVER x BAPE lowtop pictured above is exclusive to London’s NOWHERE store, as indicated on the Jack Purcell-like toe cutaway.  The green camoflauge upper looks great with white contrast stitching and a white sole.  These should be available at NOWHERE very soon.  via HB

They’re set to drop in a sick Cobra Commander-inspired edition, probably sometime before the August 7th theater release of G.I. Joe, but the Nike Alpholution’s first run is out now.  An updated take on the classic Nike Air ’Alpha’ Force 1, these joints are available in three colourways that carefully toe the line between outright retro and modern classic.  There’s one each in red/black/white, royal blue/white and black/white/teal.  Each features ‘FRESH’ on the tongue, with ‘RE’ in a different colour, presumably marking Nike’s new ‘REFRESH’ campaign.  Cop any or all of these right now from FinishLine.

There was a ton of hype behind the Toro Bravo/Raging Bull DMP Package released last month and now these are the last Air Jordan V (5) retros we expect for a while.  This pair, dubbed ‘Dark Army’ for its use of the reddish-brown hue on the tongue and lining, sports a white patent leather upper with Dark Army stitching.  It rides a black midsole that has an Oreo sharkstooth, plus translucent yellow outsole segments that reveal the same pattern present on the lining.  You can grab these today from eBay.  Photos via departures

Nike will release four new Air Max styles exclusively at JD Sports in the UK in August including a new Air Max 90, Air Max Light, Air Max ST, and Air Max 95. The Air Max 90 comes in a smooth colorway that has some similarities to “Pigeon” colorways we’ve seen from Nike and Staple. The Air Max Light comes to us in a Shadow Grey, White, Hot Red, and Blue colorway that uses nubuck and mesh on the sneaker. The Air Max ST comes in a more subtle and classic colorway of White, Grey, and Black. And last but not least the Air Max 95 comes in a triple Black colorway that features a graphic print on the shoe’s upper along with hints of Red. Look for all four of these to be released exclusively at JD Sports in August.

 The Agenda tradeshow next month will feature Supra’s official unveiling of their latest Skytop model, but it looks like you won’t have to wait.  Pictured above (and after the jump) is a sample of the Supra Skytop II.  This one is in bright red leather with a white midsole.  It has the same Air Jordan VI-like tongue that you can vaguely make out of the Supra-issued teaser pic, plus a series of horizontal stitches and piping on the underlay.  Take a look at these and let us know if you think Supra should change ‘em before they drop or if you like the design just as it is.  via SupraTalk
