On Tuesday, we gave you the latest look at the upcoming Varsity Royal Tecmo Bo version of the Air Trainer 1 and now we get a sneak peek at another colorway of the classic style that’s also on the way. Although this version doesn’t appear to stick to the Bo theme, it still has somewhat of a Kansas City Royals feel thanks to the color scheme. The shoe sports a super-clean White on White upper with the only accents coming by way of a University Blue midsole and tongue branding. If you’re feeling the latest addition to the Air Trainer comeback, keep an eye out for these at select Nike retailers in September.

JD Sports just got two exclusive Nike Air Max 90s and here’s another to add to the collection. It’s not a 90, but the Nike Air Max ST undubidably captures that early 90s running vibe. This edition is as simple as they get, opting for a grey mudguard to break up the otherwise entirely black upper. White on the tongue, Swoosh and Air bubble frame complete this palette that you could rock with nearly anything. Grab yours today from JD Sports.

Jay-Z was spotted in Los Angeles this past weekend eating at what seems like is his favorite restaraunt in LA, Katsuya, where he was seen leaving in a pair of fresh Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton Don’s in Grey and White. The last time we reported on Jay-Z and his “celebrity feet” he was also seen leaving Katsuya in LA only with a pair of Nike x Kanye West Air Yeezy’s on. This time the lonely Jay-Z left the restaraunt after filming his new video for his second single, Run This Town, which features Rihanna and Kanye West. via CONCRETELOOP

Each pre-season, a few Nike-affiliated college football teams are provided with some pretty cool samples to take out for a test drive during team practices. This year, one such school was given this incredible pair of sample Hyperdunk football cleats to try out under the rigors of NCAA level competition. As you might expect, these are far lighter than the average pair of cleats that have been converted from a basketball shoe design. Don’t expect to see these available for retail anytime soon, but if you’re a football playing sneakerhead it must be hard to contain the excitement right now. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on further info and be sure to check out some more pics afterthe jump. Thanks to our anonymous source for the heads up.

To coincide with the release of the documentary More Than A Game, LeBron James will be embarking on a world tour to promote the film and, of course, the Air Max LeBron VII. As we reported the other day, there will be an artist series where an artist from each city on the tour will design a special version of the shoe, but there will also be a City Pack. Here we have a look at the Chicago edition which sports a St. Vincent St. Mary color scheme and a Family, Loyalty theme. As with all the LeBron VII’s from the City Pack, these kicks sport an image from the movie inset on the inner heel section of the upper. The shoe also features a speckled midsole, metallic green accents and a gradient Flywire panel, as well as a shout out to Chi-town on the heel portion of the Air bubble. Only 123 pairs of these beauties will be released in Chicago this week when LeBron comes into town. Via phliworld.

Rappers XV and Nickelus F were spotted at XV’s album, Everybody’s Nobody, release party at Glass in New York City this past weekend wearing some heat. XV was spotted wearing a pair of the very limited Air Jordan I XQ China Editions shoes that were only released in China a couple years ago. Nickelus F was seen wearing a pair of the Nike SB Dunk High “Gucci’s” that will be hitting Nike SB retailers this Holiday 2009 season. Both rappers are a part of the new wave of hip-hop artists who seem to be in tune with sneakers and streetwear including Wale and Kid Cudi.

The Nike Lunar Mariah dropped back in April as a Tier Zero release honouring the original colourways. With these, we’re seeing a wider array of colourways, all with a common theme. Each of these three features a black no-sew upper riding a Lunar Foam sole with white speckles. There’s one each in blue, black with grey accents and red, and all three of them are set to drop in about two weeks: Saturday, August 22nd. Click the jump below for more photos from Nike Sportswear and a list of retailers who will stock these runners.

Todd Bratrud’s third Nike SB Dunk High peeked out of the shadows right around the time of Debacle’s HD release. In these new shots, we can get a much better look at the key design element. The ‘Brainwreck’ Nike SB Dunk High sports a grey suede upper with a lighter shade of leather on the toe and Swooshes. A light grey midsole and pink outsole allow this simple palette to give birth to ‘BRAIN’ on the heel (possibly ‘BRAIN’ ‘WRECK’, though it’s impossible to tell if these photos are both the left foot). We’ll keep you updated with any new info ahead of their October release. via Warped

Mayor’s ‘Strawberry Nesquik’ Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke is quite impressive, but another pink AF1 takes the food inspiration even further. These customs from BlackYard on display at Art Clash 09 add touches of red and white so as to convey a beefy belly. The right shoe reveals muscle tissue while the left is divided into different cuts of steak. Take a look at the photos after the jump and be sure not to drool on your keyboard. via N-SB.org

The Air Jordan Campus Chukka is the Jumpman Brand’s finest lifestyle sneaker to date. It offers familiar chukka lace plackets while adding a style all its own via the distinctive sole. This edition is downright classy in its off-white suede upper. The midsole adds a darker shade in a tumbled leather wrap, capped off (literally) by olive green on the toe and heel. Grab a pair or two of these today from Essense.
