The Nike Dynasty High is set to make a big splash and here are two new editions sure to turn heads.  First off are the black and infrared joints we already knew were coming.  Their tumbled newbuck overlay looks excellent along with the other variety of materials.  The other features a crazy design we’ve seen once before, adding striped geometrical designs to a grey upper.  The red, yellow and blue shapes ensure that this shoe can compliment most outfits without being overlooked.  They’re available now and the black pair will drop in September, so stick with Sneaker News for udpates

The weather is and has been beatuiful for quite a while, but that won’t last.  You might not be looking forward to the impending chill, but Vans Vault has you covered.  Their Chukka Boot LX is ready for rain and/or the high seas in its new Peacoat edition.  There’s one each in heathered grey or navy blue, each in woolen felt.  The grey joints have a lighter shade on their piping while navy blue opts for a dark charcoal accent.  Get ready early and cop these today from eBay.  Photos: Shaolin8

By using Storm Shadow in his days with Cobra (we’ll have to see how this plays out in the upcoming film), Nike has selected all villains for its G.I. Joe Pack.  This killer Hyperize draws on evil businessman Destro, who apparently only plays a small role in the film.  The silver and black design finds red and gold accents to mimic his costume from the 80′s cartoon and comic book.  These will probably see a limited release stateside, similar to the Transformers II Pack, but why wait when you can grab them today from RMK.

Three’s company.  In this case, it’s an evil company.  Last but not least in the Nike G.I. Joe Pack trio is the Cobra Commander Alpholution Supreme.  This is the one we’ve known about the longest, but that certainly doesn’t dull the impressive take on Cobra’s leader.  They feature a perfect mix of red, grey and navy blue, with snakeskin on the eyelets, collar and toe.  These are going to be just as hard to get as the others when they finally make it to US stores, so go ahead and grab yours today from RMK.

Nice Kicks is the lastest to collaborate on the Asics Gel Lyte III as part of a three part project. The sneaker features a mix of nubuck and nylon on the upper, along with white and grey accents, including reflective 3M, to balance out this radiant model. Expect these come October, when the 250 pair limited edition will release exclusively at David Z in-store and onlne.

A mashup in its own right, the Air Jordan Spiz’ike has gracefully transitioned into one of the slickest boots to don a Jumpman.  This pair looks flat out fantastic with its rich nubuck upper.  That upper and the boot in general combines muted red, blue and greys into something that screams ‘warmth!’  Adding yet another twist to the Spiz’ike design is the addition of Elephant Print as a traction pattern on the outsole.  Take a good look at these after the jump and ready yourself for their December release at Foot Locker and other JB retailers.

Hollywood mega-blockbuster action films can be polarizing, but we’d be willing to wager the response is one-sided on these.  The Nike Transformers II Pack released to great acclaim for using excellent packaging and thematic application and their G.I. Joe joints are equally satisfying.  Pictured above is the Storm Shadow Nike Zoom Sharkalaid.  Whether he’s a member of Cobra or G.I. Joe seems to change with time (Nike has him with Cobra for this release), but either way, these do a great job of capturing his white garb.  Expect them stateside soon or avoid the rush and cop yours today from RMK.

The hot rumor de jour has Kanye West designing his own signature Air Jordan in the near future.  This might not be an official word of the collaboration, but it’s certainly a sort of cross-pollination.  The black and pink pair of Nike Air Yeezy worn by Mr. West himself at the 50th Grammy Awards this past February will be auctioned off in conjunction with Sole Collector, with all proceeds benefitting the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, who get love from Nike each year.  Click the jump below to see a couple of videos with actor Chi McBride and Jordan Brand Creative Director Mark Smith discussing the project.

With the resounding success of Nike’s Zoom Kobe IV, plenty of sneakerheads are wondering what’s next.  The answer could possibly be this model.  They’re probably either the Nike Zoom Kobe V or another KB-branded lowtop from the Swoosh.  What we do know is that this pair looks relatively simple.  The upper is notable mostly for its use of Flywire-equipped side panels and the midsole is a sleeker take on the ZKIV.  Things get a bit more interesting on the sole, where a crazily patterned XDR sole should provide excellent traction on outdoor courts, while a carbon fibre spring plate will also keep them strong.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates on all Kobe Bryant sneakers.  via FlightClub

Back in June, we gave you a couple sneak previews of the Spring 2010 Nike SB collection, and now we bring you news that samples of many of the Dunk models, including some that haven’t even been seen yet, are now available on eBay. This seller has somehow gotten his hands on six upcoming Dunk SB samples, three High and three Low. Included in this collection are the Medium Grey/Varsity Red/Old Royal and Deep Orange/Blue Sapphire/Black Dunk High Pro models that were part of our preview, as well as a crazy Black/Varsity Red/Old Royal High model that sports a yellow explosion graphic behind the Red Swoosh on the upper. Joining the Dunk Highs will be three Dunk Low colorways. The Varsity Red/Varsity Red/Old Royal and Dark Chocolate/Metallic Silver versions were seen in some previous posts, but there is also a nice Pine Green/Sale/Light Mint version as well. If you are feeling this collection of Nike SB’s you can get all six pairs in under one auction now on eBay.

The first time we saw the Air Jordan 60+ (Sixty Plus) in real photos was on the feet of Carmelo Anthony’s high school alma mater, Oak Hill Academy.  It’s only fitting, then, to take the model that celebrates MJ’s most prolific scoring outputs back to the place where his competitive fire was lit.  These clearly resemble the Air Jordan V (5) Retro edition that also celebrated Wilmington, NC’s Laney High School, using a white, blue and yellow palette to enhance the retro vibe.  They should be available soon at LaceLocked and other select Jordan retailers, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Last year, the Air Max 90 made a triumphant return in two versions of its beloved OG Infrared colorway. One pair was a standard Retro version of the original, while the other OG Infrared Air Max 90 featured the same color scheme, but upgraded to some nice premium materials, including ostrich skin leather. Now it appears that there was also another version of the Air Max 90 Premium that never made it to retail. This pair uses almost identical color blocking to the other, but the big change is that the classic Infrared hue has been replaced by Neon Yellow, giving this Air Max 90 something of an Air Max 95 feel. This sample pair was recently sold on eBay, but we thought you still might enjoy getting a look at one of the freshest unreleased samples that we’ve seen in a while. These are no longer available for sale on eBay, but you can still access the auction to see how much they actually sold for.
