It’s well-documented that the idea of Air Jordan Fusions is a touchy subject with a lot of sneakerheads, but in this case, some of you might have a slightly better reaction to this latest Air Jordan hybrid. This remote controlled Camaro has been customized to take on the characteristics of the Fire Red Air Jordan III, from the layout and color-blocking, right down to some panels of Elephant print wrapping around the hood and trunk areas. This is not the first time that the similarities between car and sneaker design has been so evident, but this example certainly shows off a pretty seamless transition. To really make this concept legit, actual laces have been included across the roof section and even a mock Air Jordan hangtag has been created with the Jumpman logo holding a Chevy symbol instead of a basketball.

Never let it be said that Kobe Bryant doesn’t have a good sense of humor. The Black Mamba was recently interviewed by Peter Mehlman for the Narrow World of Sports and tackled some pretty tough issues. Kobe pulls no punches as he addresses some pressing topics like dunking on Osama BinLaden for the glory of the U.S., how much you tip an NBA ref after a playoff game and the joys of scoring 55 points while your team loses. If you find yourself chuckling at this hilarious clip, you’ll also find an extended version of the interview after the jump.

As you may already know, Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul recently followed Kobe Bryant’s lead by also taking a trip to Asia to promote his shoe, meet with fans and offer advice to aspiring young ballers in China. As you will see from these pics, Jordan Brand pulled out all the stops to make this one of the most visually impressive events ever seen with elaborate decorations and displays that matched up with the ornate aesthetic of the “Little Dragon” China edition of the CP3.II that dropped in China during Paul’s visit. Keep reading to see some great shots of Chris Paul, the Guang Zhou event and the CP3.II China model. Via HK-Kicks.

Nike sticks with the back-to-basics Air Force 1 approach with this latest version. This Air Force 1 Low sports a super-clean look that provides a nice alternative to the strictly white on white version for those who like to keep it crisp. The shoe uses Light Bone leather for the upper with sections of Anthracite on the tongue and heel tab. Additional White accents can be found on the midsole, lining and laces and the final touch is provided by a classic-looking gum midsole. You can still get some summer mileage out of these kicks if you scoop up a pair on eBay now. Photos: ID4shoes.
Color: Light Bone/White-Anthracite
Style: 318775-012

Every veteran sneakerhead remembers the lasting impression of Michael’s Bred Air Jordan IV’s lifting off the court after hitting “The Shot” over Craig Ehlo to defeat the Cleveland Cavs in the 1989 NBA playoffs. What has slipped under the radar for a while now is that Michael’s coach, the now legendary Phil Jackson, was also seen rocking the OG Black/Red/Cement Air Jordan IV while coaching from the sidelines. Check out these still shots of Mike and Phil stylin’ in the kicks during an Eastern Conference Finals game against the Pistons and you can see some video footage of both after the jump. Via NK.

LeBron VII mania is in full swing as we bring you a look at another upcoming Air Max LeBron VII colorway. We previewed these last month, but at the time, it was unknown if this extra-fresh colorway would ever be released. We’re delighted to report that not only will these kicks be released, but they are just as magnificent in person. This version of the Air Max LeBron VII has been dubbed as the “Red Carpet” edition and has been designed as a nod to King James’ superstar lifestyle.
The shoe ditches the Flywire in favor of a classy black woven upper that sits atop a white leather base and midsole. To add some flavor to the color scheme, there are healthy doses of teal that really pop in contrast to the white/black backdrop. As a cherry on top, there are some vibrant splashes of bright red found on the tongue and the toe section of the outsole. We’ll keep you posted on the release info once it becomes available, but in the meantime, check out some more pics of this killer colorway after the jump.

It’s pretty amazing how many different places we have seen Jeff Staple able to spread his “Pigeon” concept and color scheme. Staple has already teamed up with brands like Nike SB, Converse, Kangol and others, including New Balance for the first go around of the “Pigeon” 575. As we saw a few weeks, ago, a new white version of the Staple x New Balance 575 was spotted on Jeff’s feet at the Bread and Butter tradeshow, and now it has been confirmed that a limited run of 1,000 pairs will be released at select retailers on August 18th. We’ll let you know what shops will have them once that info becomes available, and in the meantime, you can see some more pics after the jump. Via UrbanLook.

Earlier today, we gave you a look at the upcoming black/metallic gold version of the Air Max LeBron VII and as promised, here is a look at another new colorway that is on the not-too-distant horizon. This pair uses a traditional-looking white/navy/metallic gold color scheme that bears a definite resemblance to some past Akron-inspired LeBron kicks. The shoe features a white leather upper with a navy Flywire-laced midpanel. Like on the black/gold version, metallic gold accents can be found on the lace loops and L23 logo, as well as outlining the Swoosh. This LeBron VII also sports some subtle hints of red on the tongue and the “twenty”/”three” branding on the toes. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for specific release details and be sure to check out some more detailed images after the jump.

The Air Pegasus ’89 has made a quiet comeback this year, with the re-release of a number of OG colorways. While the originals still look great, Nike has also decided to put a more contemporary spin on the classic running model with some new color schemes and printed graphics. This pair sports a crisp white upper with a black Swoosh and purple accents on the midsole, heel cap, laces and tongue label. As an added touch, this shoe also uses the same jumbled block letter graphics that have recently shown up on another version of the Air Pegasus and several other Nike models such as the Air Structure Triax ’91. If you like what you see here, check out some more close-ups after the jump and you can pick up a pair now at Standard.

In addition to the unveiling of the new Air Max LeBron VII in Akron last Friday, we also got a sneak peek at a few more upcoming colorways of the shoe. This pair keeps it super-slick with a black on black color scheme, but rather than the straight “triple black” look that previous LeBron kicks have sported, these throw in some hints of metallic gold to flash things up a bit. Shiny metallic gold touches on the L23 logo button, lace loops and surrounding the Swoosh give these kicks some real style and provide a nice complement to the simplicity of the color scheme. Exact release info for this Air Max LeBron VII colorway is still unknown, but they will definitely be dropping in the coming months, so stay tuned for further info and be sure to check out some more detailed pics after the jump.
