Nike Terminator High Directed by Swagger   July 2009

Jordan Brand has released a bunch of packages featuring two distinct colourways of the same shoe, but what about one pair with different colours on each foot?  The new photos above provide further proof that the Nike Terminator High Directed by Swagger consists of one pair of shoes, each one with its own monochromatic design.  The left is a deep brown colour, while the right is teal.  Expect both to have outraeously oversized ‘SWG’ lacelocks and tongues extended high beyond the Terminator’s regular fare.  We know now that these should drop next month, so check back with Sneaker News for updates.  via HS

Celebrity Feet: Carmelo Anthony   AJF 4   White   Cement

The next Air Jordan Force to be released is the Air Jordan Force IV, which is perhaps the best Air Jordan Fusion to date, as it combines the upper of the Air Jordan IV and the outsole of the Air Force 1. Recently the White, Cement, and Black colorway was spotted on Denver Nuggets Forward, Carmelo Anthony, during a photoshoot. Melo, who of course is one of the Jordan Brand athletes, was able to score a pair of these earlier than the rest of us and is sporting them this photoshoot. Look for this colorway to be released in the upcoming months at select Jordan Brand accounts. via DUB Daily

Nike WMNS Air Max 1   Challenge Red   Blue Sapphire   Safari

Aside from our Air Max 1 Safari pack previews, we’ve already given you an individual look at the White/Glass Blue and Red Plum colorways and now you can get up close and personal with the Challenge Red edition. The shoe sports a solid Challenge Red upper and midsole, and like the others, there is a generous portion of Safari print gracing the middle and rear sections. Aside from the rich Red base, there are some minimal Sapphire Blue accents on the lining and the top eyelet holes. Like the other women’s Air Max 1 Safari’s, these are already starting to hit stores, but you can save yourself the effort and just pick up a pair on eBay.  Photos: ABC Kicks

Color: Challenge Red/Challenge Red-Blue Sapphire

Nike Trainer 1 Coming to Nike iD

The Nike Trainer 1 has made a big splash already, and other than by way of the Trainer Legacy Pack, you still can’t even get them in stores. After seeing all of those different athlete PE’s from the Trainer 1 launch event, a lot of sneakerheads started daydreaming about other colorway possibilities. Thanks to Nike iD, the sky will be the limit for the Trainer 1. The shoe will officially hit Nike iD on July 1st, but you can already start playing around with all of the color options on the site. Virtually every part of the shoe is customizable, even down to the Flywire, and the color possibilities are intriguing to say the least. Get over to Nike iD and start experimenting so you can be ready to customize for real once July gets here.

Nike Terminator Low Basic   White   Black   Halftone Color Pack

Back in early April, we gave you a look at a ton of new Nike Terminator Low and High models that will be hitting stores this July, and to follow up on the Gradient Fade pack that we showed you on Thursday, now we bring you an up close look at another style from the collection. There will be a number of Terminators that incorporate a halftone color dot pattern, similar to what you would see if you examined a magazine photo with a magnifying glass. The multi-color dots are used on the mid-section of the upper and throw some vibrant life into the otherwise basic white/black sneaker. This pair has already been released at atmos and there are more halftone color editions of the Terminator on their way next month.

Color: White/Black/Multi-Color
Style: 336610-114

Nike Hyperize   Sidney Deane   White Men Cant Jump

Just as with its older brother the Hyperdunk, the Nike Hyperize jumped onto the scene riding a hoverboard.  The giant successes of the McFly editions of both shoes opened the doors for another movie-inspired release, this time with two different colourways.  The Nike Hyperize Sidney Deane Edition is a send up of Wesley Snipes’ character from 1992′s White Men Can’t Jump.  In these latest photos, we can see that the tongue tag flips up, mimicking Deane’s cycling cap brim in the film.  The detailed shots after the jump also include a great closeup of the crumpled suede that covers the toe and outlines the side panels.  via SC.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV   61 Points Edition   NBA Finals   Game Worn by Kobe Bryant

We all knew it would only be a matter of time before the 61 Points edition of the Zoom Kobe IV would find their way either to retail stores, or at the very least, eBay. Well, the bad news is that there are no plans at the moment to release these to the public, but the good news is that the first pair to pop up is actually a game-worn pair that Kobe rocked on court during Game 1 of this year’s NBA Finals. It seems that the kicks were given to Lakers guard, Jordan Farmar, who then gave them to his brother Mike, who then sold them to this eBay seller. It seems that the story is legit and the kicks have not been cleaned in anyway, leaving them in the battle-worn condition they were in after they came off Kobe’s feet at the end of the Lakers’ Game 1 Finals win over Orlando. Sports collector’s items don’t get much better than this, so if you are a Kobe fan, you might want to consider breaking the bank for a shot at owning his game-worn size 13.5′s. Get over to eBay now and place your bid on a one of a kind piece of Kobe/Nike/NBA history.

Leroy Smith Motivational T Shirts + Wallpaper

After crashing onto the scene with his one man Basketball Hall of Fame campaign, the infamous Leroy Smith, also known as the man who motivated Michael Jordan, is back with a new collection of t-shirts and wallpapers for your desktop. Everybody loves Leroy, so why shouldn’t he make some money off of it. There will be four t-shirt designs hitting select stores in limited quantities, and if you’re not able to track them down, at least you can go over to GetYourBasketballOn.Com to download a bunch of free Leroy Smith wallpapers. You can take a look at the hilarious “motivational” t-shirts after the jump and you’ll find the t-shirts at MajorDC and a few other chosen retailers. These are very limited, so you better “get motivized” if you want to get your hands on some Leroy Smith gear before it’s gone.

Nike Premium Selvage Denim Pack   Terminator High + Blazer High

You may remember seeing our previews of the Nike Premium Selvage Denim Pack all the way back in January, and now they’re finally beginning to arrive in stores. The pack consists of Premium editions of the Terminator High and Blazer High, both using a combination of blue selvage denim and black leather for the uppers. Both models are also laced with some super-legit blue jean touches like copper rivets, gold contrast stitching and Levi’s-inspired logo tabs, as well as brown leather tongue labels that are similar to the ones found on the back of a pair of jeans. If you’ve been waiting for these to drop since our first preview, they are finally making their way onto the shelves at select Nike retailers like 24kts.
