We know Tiger Woods lost the PGA Championship on a miraculous eagle chip but maybe he got a pair of these to cheer him up.  Many Swoosh-sponsored golfers received golf bags and matching Nike Dunk Lows with their names on the rear panel.  The pair pictured above belongs to Paul Casey, and like the other golfers’ gifts, these rock a Laney-like colourway.  Take a look at more photos after the jump.  via TSG

The new Nike Air Max LeBron VII has an impressive wrap-around seamless Air bubble.  It took the Swoosh over 20 years to perfect that kind of cushioning and Puma got on the idea immediately thereafter.  Pictured above is the Puma Mid Full Bubble.  It’s based on the classic Puma Mid design but the insane neon green cushioning unit wraps around the entire sneaker.  We expect plenty more new Pumas with Bubble technology, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via SneakersBR

The pack will contain both pairs of kicks that Mike wore when winning back to back Slam Dunk Contest titles in 1987 and 1988.

A new colorway of the Air Jordan Force IV (AJF 4) in Girl’s Sizes (GS) has been released and this new one features a colorway that many would argue is strikingly similar to the various Staple “Pigeon” sneakers including the upcoming New Balance x Staple M575J. The official colorway is Cool Grey, Infared, and Neutral Grey where the upper uses the two different shades of Grey and accents it with Infared. Unlike the Men’s AJF 4, the GS version does not feature a visible Air unit, however this colorway is sure to have some Jordan Brand fans asking why it was never made in Men’s sizes. These are available now at select Jordan Brand retailers including LTD Online.

Style: 365370-061

In 1994, Michael Jordan took a break from dominating the NBA to fulfill a boyhood dream and give baseball a shot. Mike signed with Chicago White Sox farm team, the Birmingham Barons, and proved once and for all that even the greatest athlete in the world can have trouble hitting a curveball. Baseball didn’t go so well for MJ, but we’re now left with some cool mementos from his days on the diamond. These Air Jordan IX cleats were made for Michael in a black/white White Sox/Barons color scheme with leather on the upper and suede on the mudguard, as well as a number 45 embroidered into the heel. This pair has been signed by Jordan and packaged with an autographed baseball in a home plate-shaped display case. You can check out some more pics after the jump and go to yahoo.co.jp for more details on the auction.

Until now, the Nike Air Royal Mid had kept things simple and classy.  These maintain the smooth construction but bright metallic leather on the upper in several colours requires attention.  Metallic silver from the toebox up through the eyelets frames a blue hindfoot.  Red comes in on the tongue, with white laces matching the midsole.  These should drop soon and we’ll keep you updated.  via HS

The first wave of Nike RT1 High releases made a big splash, but recent colorways don’t seem to have packed the same punch. Luckily, there are some more RT1 High models on the way that appear to have the potential to reel people back in. This version sports a rich brown leather upper with a section of brown nubuck on the ankle panel. The solid brown upper is met by a gum midsole with a purple outsole and purple laces to add some color to the mix. This juicy colorway will be hitting stores in late September or early October, leaving plenty of time to get fresh for fall. You can check out some close-ups after the jump and stay tuned for exact release details.
