There was a bunch of noise around the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Retros earlier this year, but after the two spring releases, we haven’t heard much. Consider the silence shattered with these new photos. Apparently paying homage to Junior’s mid-career mistake in Cincinnati, this version features a tonal black upper atop a white midsole. Touches of red on the heel, outsole and Air bubbles make for a clean look. Expect these sometime later in 2009. via FlightClub

We already knew Sue Bird is rockin’ Soldier III PEs this WNBA season, but this latest pair incorporates Nike’s biggest international athlete. During her game on Thursday, Bird was spotted in a special LIVESTRONG edition of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III. The yellow patent leather uppers looked great with Bird’s Seattle Storm uniform, but no word yet on a retail release. Even if they did, they might not be the craziest LIVESTRONG Nikes. via LRJ23

Your granny probably calls your sneakers ‘tennis shoes’, but aside from a few Nike Sportswear releases, we usually don’t focus much on them here at Sneaker News. Roger Federer rewrote tennis history, so maybe he can bring tennis shoes back into the consciousness of the sneakerhead community. His Nike Air Zoom Vapor VI Tour Roger Federer appears above in the Wimbledon edition. This Flywire-equipped lowtop looks as elegant as the All England Club in a white upper with gold accents. Score an ace with these today: they’re available at Kix-Files.

The Nike SB Zoom Paul Rodriguez (P-Rod) III is off to a good start, and now all the little P-Rod fans can get in on the action. Flipping the script from the dope Maloof Money Cup limited edition, this P-Rod III in GS sizes is mostly black with a white midsole. Paul’s signature sneakers have always been heavily influenced by Air Jordan designs, as seen in the touches of red that make this release a keeper. They’re available today at Nike SB retailers like Extra Butter.

The Air Jordan B’Loyal has been out for a good while now, but it looks like a brand new colourway is on the horizon. This edition features a clean mix of black and university blue. The upper is all black suede with blue stitching, while the midsole is university blue speckled with black. This is a very clean design and we’ll keep you posted when the Air Jordan VI (6)-like design is set for release. via FlightClub

2009 has been kind to the Nike Air Rejuven8. From the springy Fluo Pack to a mashup design featuring a Footscape lacing system and sole, we’ve seen the birdsnest runner cover the spectrum from flashy to classy. Here’s one for the later group, with the upper’s overlay made of black leather. Toned down, sure, but the Nike Air Rejuven8 Leather is still eye-catching. Throw in speckledlaces and the Free sole and you’d be crazy not to grab these from mita sneakers.

His new Dream Season secondary sneaker is now available, but Kobe Bryant’s fourth Nike signature model deserves at least one more look. The Nike Zoom Kobe IV Gold Medal Game celebrates the Reedeem Team’s Olympic victory last August in Beijing. These have gold snakeskin on the toebox and heel plus gold leather on the toe and ankle collar. All of this framse a white side panel that featurs Nike’s signature navy blue and red USA colourup. Celebrate today and grab them from Eastbay.

So far we’ve given our readers a glimpse at red, teal, silver and gold pairs of womens’ Air Force 1′s that all sport metallic snakeskin. Following in the same motif, Nike has yet another pair that sports the same pattern. Unlike the previous styles we’ve shown you, the material is not a similar hue to the rest of the shoe’s accents. The dark snakeskin is a classic combination with the deep purple and white. Ladies can expect these to hit stores next weekend, but you can cop a pair now on eBay. Photos: StepToRun

The Nike Footscape Woven was already one of the craziest releases of the last decade, but this version might take the cake. The Hideout x LIVESTRONG x Nike Sportswear Footscape Woven ‘Hamster’ adds horsehair to the already other-worldly asymmetrical runner. The result is something between NSW’s previous horsehair efforts and Chewbacca. These insane sneakers will drop at a few key retailers next Saturday, July 18th.

Tradeshows are tearin’ up Europe, especially Germany. At the Bright getup in Frankfurt, Nike SB put together another kitschy room to showcase some of their upcoming models. Most of the Spring 2010 joints we showed you a while back are on display, conspicuously held aloft by arms protruding from the papered walls. There’s a whole vintage home bar thing going on here, complete with a cigars and bottles of wine and liquor, all emblazoned with ‘SB’ logos. Take a look at the photos and get excited, cos ’10 is lookin’ strong for Nike Skateboarding. via Dunkbar
