Last week, we showed you some interesting upcoming additions to the Air Max 90 family and now we take a look at another super-fresh version of the classic shoe. This Air Max 90 bears a slight resemblance to the Kaws edition of the Air Max 90 Current from last year, using a very similar eye-catching color scheme. The shoe sports a Black/Dark Grey upper made up of several materials, including the recently seen “splatter” pattern gracing the outer ankle collar. In contrast to the dark base, some Volt accents are spread around on the Swoosh, lining and outsole to liven up the otherwise dark color scheme. There are still no exact details on a U.S. release for these beauties, but we’ll keep you posted as more info becomes available. Via in52.

Rapper, Ludacris, welcomes rocker, Tommy Lee, to his Atlanta, Georgia restaurant, Straits, this past weekend and did so with a crisp pair of Air Jordan IV (4) Retro’s on in the Black, Cement Grey, and Varsity Red original colorway. We’re guessing that Luda picked up a few of the CDP 4/19 Pack’s from last year and kept a pair of these classic Air Jordan IV’s on ice until this year. In addition to Tommy Lee, actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, was also in attendance as well as Ludacris’ manager, Chaka Zulu.

Hopefully, you’re not getting LeBron VII’d out before the first in-line colorway even drops in October, but new versions of the shoe just keep popping up. As you know, King James recently visited China as part of the More Than A Game World Tour, and with that came new City Pack and Artist Series versions of the Air Max LeBron VII. Now we get a look at a new edition of the shoe that, for once, is not affiliated with the More Than A Game Tour, but still has some relevance to LeBron’s visit to Asia. This Air Max LeBron VII is an upcoming China edition. The shoe sports a White/Metallic Gold color scheme with cultural touches and decorations like some Chinese characters and patterns on the inner heel and insoles. No word yet on when or where these will drop or in what quantity, but we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop. Via LRJ23.

This winter, we will be seeing some new colorways of the RT1 High, including this intriguing version that takes some cues from the traditional workboot look. This RT1 has undeniably been influenced by the classic Timberland boot’s style, much the like the Supra Skytop that went the same route last year. The shoe sports a tan suede upper with some tonal mesh on the toe box and tongue and a section of smooth brown leather around the ankle to really hammer home the Timberland concept. A set of bright red laces help give the shoe some personality of its own and additional hints of red can be found on the tongue branding and the outsole. These might not offer the durability of some steel toe Tims, but the look is definitely there with some extra flavor thrown in for good measure. Be on the lookout for these to hit select Nike retailers this December.

The Nike iD customization possibilities for the Nike Dunk High and Low just got infinitely more interesting. Nike has just added some fresh new options for the Dunks that will allow customizers to get more creative than ever. Aside from some new colors and material options, the most noteworthy additions to the mix are the Safari print heel/ankle strap panel and the clear outsole which also lets the Safari pattern show through. If you have been claiming that you can create better Dunk colorways than the designers at Nike, here’s your chance to put your money where your mouth is. Get over to Nike iD now and begin experimenting with your own Safari version of the Nike Dunk Low or High.

We’ve been keeping you up to date for a while now on Nike’s upcoming East vs. West Rivals pack and now we get a look at some more preview images from the collection. As you know, several notable sneakerheads will be teaming up with Nike to rep for their respective coasts with DJ Clark Kent and Eddie Cruz leading the charge for the East and West. By now, you’ve probably already seen DJ Clark Kent’s Gucci-inspired Dunk High Supreme Spark, but the images of two Air Force 1′s designed by Eddie Cruz for the Rivals pack have also just popped up. Both pairs use synthetic snakeskin uppers, one on a purple/yellow/red Air Force 1 Low and the other on a navy/black/red High model.
In addition, we also get our first peek at a new Clark Kent-designed Air Force 1 Low that sports a premium look thanks to sections of ostrich skin and patent leather. We have also just learned that DJ Premier and DJ AM have also contributed to the upcoming pack with a East Air Force 1 by Premier and a West Dunk by AM. Stay tuned for further info on this eagerly anticipated pack and check out interviews with DJ Clark Kent and DJ Premier after the jump. Via Warped/Overdope.

No, these are not Canal Street fakes. This Air Jordan III was made as a wear-test sample back in 2006 and never made it past these early prototype stages. The shoe features a more simplistic version of the classic shoe, controversially ditching the Elephant print all together in favor of a white on white leather upper. The only accents are provided by some splashes of red on the midsole and outsole, as well as the tongue, ankle collar and a few other choice spots. Obviously, this 2006 sample never went into mass production, but it’s rumored that 8 pairs were made at the time. Let us know if you’re disappointed or relieved that these kicks never made it into retail stores and if you’re ready to drop a grip on this pair, they’re available for sale now from jigsaw2333 on eBay.

Earlier this month, a preview of the upcoming Spring 2010 Nike and Futura Air Force 1 Collection was shown and now we have images of the Matte Silver and White Air Force 1 Low Premium that Nike Sportswear and Futura worked on. The shoes come with a Matte Silver perforated leather upper that features a perforated mesh lining on the inside of the shoe. Futura put his touch on these shoes and the rest of the shoe’s in this Air Force 1 Collection by issuing his signature graphic on each of the shoe’s tongues as well as the words “Be True” underneath the midsoles of the shoes in between the clear ice outsoles. This Matte Silver, White, and Black pair will be dropping in Spring 2010. via Footlocker Unlocked

Even though the Kobe V is looming around the corner, Nike is still getting some last-minute mileage out of the Zoom Kobe IV. We gave you a sneak preview of this new Kobe IV colorway all the way back in March and now we get another look at the mysterious version. The shoe features a black upper with snakeskin on the toe area and some contrasting gold accents throughout the design. This Zoom Kobe IV also sports a white midsole with the black toe section of the outsole covered by a gold speckle pattern. It is still unclear if these kicks will actually hit stores or not, but you know we’ll keep you up to date with the latest info on a possible release. Via FC.T
