While no official indication is given, it appears that Nike’s Spring 2010 Dunk High line-up has been heavily influenced by the color scheme’s of some of basketball’s most legendary teams. Here we have a look at three upcoming colorways from the spring Dunk collection and it appears that they have all adopted a back-to-basics team look, similar to the first wave of Dunks that were honored by the Be True To Your School series a few years back. There is a White/Varsity Red/Black version that gives off a Chicago Bulls feel along with an White/Orange Blaze/Varsity Blue pair that may have been inspired by their Eastern Conference rivals, the New York Knicks. The third upcoming Dunk High sports a White/University Blue palette that inevitably brings the North Carolina Tarheels to mind. As stated before, there is no indicated tie to any of the teams mentioned, but it seems pretty obvious what they were going for with these. Keep reading after the jump for a closer look at all three and stay tuned for more info as the release gets a little closer. Via Glltn.

This Nike Air Max 95 is scheduled to be released in Spring 2010 as a part of the growing Nike Sportswear Footwear Collection, the colorway comes in what looks to be like a Chicago Bears’ inspired color scheme of Firepit, Obsidian, Team Orange, and Orange WHP. The midsole of the shoe and toebox area are the only parts of this pair that are White. The Orange colors are accented against each other on the lateral and medial sides of the shoes with some hints of Obsidian Blue. If you want to have these months before they’re released you can buy them now via Cigar0330 on eBay.

We have been keeping you up to date with all the latest on the Artist Series editions of the Air Max LeBron VII from the More Than A Game World Tour. So far, King James and the tour have hit a few U.S. cities like Chicago, Washington D.C. and Akron and now it’s on to Asia where LeBron will make stops in three Chinese cities this week. The other day, we gave you a sneak preview of the Artist Series LeBron VII’s from China, and now it’s time to take a closer look at the Beijing edition. The shoe was hand-painted by artist, Le Quiqui, who has given the shoe a shiny gold and orange look to represent for Beijing, complete with nods to the architecture and tradition of the city, as well as some Chinese proverbs and more personal homages to LeBron. Keep reading after the jump for a more detailed account of the artist’s motivation and a bunch of close-ups that will allow you to see the finer details of the Beijing Artist Series installment of the Air Max LeBron VII.

Before you get too excited at the site of this incredible version of the Air Jordan V, be aware that unfortunately, these are only a look-see sample. They were produced as a potential Spring ’09 release, but for whatever reason, never saw the light of day. It seems a shame because this is looking like the kind of colorway that had the potential to be an instant classic. For starters, the shoe sports a White/Black/Varsity Red color scheme that is always a crowd favorite with Jordan-heads, but there are also some added touches that give this edition of the Air Jordan V some personality of its own. The red outline around the “shark’s tooth” section of the midsole and the embroidered eyeball graphic on the side of the upper were already seen on the military-inspired Grey Nurse version of the AJF 5, but knowing how a lot of people feel about Fusions, it would have been nice to see the concept used on a Retro model as well. Sadly, it’s looking like the boat has already sailed for these, but you can at least check out some pics of what could have been after the jump, and stay tuned in case anything changes in terms of a possible release.

This past weekend, Lebron James, took a break out of his “More Than A Game” World Tour to host his Fourth Annual State Farm King for Kids Bike-a-Thon. Aside from the King himself, Chris Paul, of the New Orleans Hornets and Nick Cannon also joined the bike ride for charity. The bike ride for charity had more than 1,000 participants, ages 9-14. King James who must not have wanted to mess up his new Air Max Lebron VII sneakers wore the new Nike Air Max+ 2009 running shoes. via Lebron2010

After the news broke of Eric Koston leaving Lakai for Nike SB, Koston fans and Nike SB heads knew it was only a matter of time before we saw a Nike SB shoe made for him. During the 2009 Skatepark of Tampa September Showcase, a number of upcoming Nike SB shoes were previewed for various skateboarders and spotted amongst them was this Dunk Low that many are speculating to be the first Eric Koston Nike SB shoe. In addition to the believed Eric Koston Nike SB Dunk Low, a number of other interesting sneakers from the Nike SB camp were spotted at the showcase including various Dunks, Blazers, Bruins, and the new Omar Salazar signature shoe. via NSB

Vans’ classic Sk8-Hi model has undergone a luxurious makeover as part of the Vans Vault line. The shoe has been upgraded with some shiny croc-like reptile skin uppers in two new colorways. One version sports a traditional-looking black and white color scheme while the other keeps it even simpler with a tonal beige upper. Both pairs feature some decorative stitching patterns as well as clean white midsoles with a corresponding accent stripe. If you’ve been looking for a classier way to rock your Vans, you can find both colorways now at Flauge. Via Freshness.
