Even though we knew these were coming, they’re still something of a pleasant suprise. The latest addition to DJ Clark Kent’s 112 Pack is a downright stunning Nike Air Force 25 Low Premium. The AF25 has been around since its launch for the huge birthday celebration a couple years back, but it’s safe to say that it has never looked as good. Though the upper is all smooth silver save the elephant print lines and Swooshes, these manage to show the Air Force 25 silhouette in a new light, all at once revealing its connection to the original and showing promise for future releases. The ‘new light’ quip is somewhat literally true as well, since all of that silver is 3M reflective material. It’s an Asia Exclusive, so you can cop yours today from Kix-Files.

Sean Kingston had a busy Monday promoting his new album, Tommorow, he showed up at Planet Hollywood in New York City and then he went over to the set of BET’s 106 & Park joined by the mascot that is featured on the cover of his new album. While running around NYC, Kingston was spotted in a fresh pair of Nike Dunk Low’s in Hyper Blue with the splatter pattern on the upper, and he wore them with a matching Blue cardigan. What did you think of Sean Kingston’s outfit?

2009 is turning out to be a big comeback year for the Nike Posite line. In addition to new and Retro releases from the Air Penny and Foamposite collections, Nike is also introducing the latest addition to the Posite family, the Zoom Skyposite. To celebrate the innovative foam models, Nike has decided to add the beloved material to some older Nike classics in some familiar colorways sure to delight long-time fans of the Foamposites. As you may have already seen, the Blazer High will be receiving a full Blue foam upper with hits of Black and even a strip of carbon fiber along the bottom. Joining the Foamposite-inspired Blazer will be a Big Nike High that’s dipped in the iridescent purple hue that has become known as Eggplant. Both models are expected to hit House of Hoops in the very near future, but while you’re waiting, you can check out some more pics of each after the jump. Via SC.

It was almost exactly a year ago when pics first emerged of the Nike Zoom Flight Club, a shoe fused with contemporary technology and a mid 90′s aesthetic. NBA players like Tony Parker and J.R. Smith showed off their PE versions around the time of the 2009 All-Star Game and the shoe has gone on to perhaps be best known for its inclusion in the summer’s Transformers 2 Pack. Now the Zoom Flight Club is back with a pack of its own, taking a page from the design of the Megatron edition to create the Invisible Pack. The collection will consist of four new colorways of the Zoom Flight Club, each using a completely clear plastic upper placed over a mesh underlay. The Zoom Flight Club Invisible Pack will feature Red, Black and Blue (not pictured) versions, as well as a Neon Yellow edition that will surely draw comparisons to the popular Tennis Ball Hypermax. No word yet if these will be hitting the States, but you can already get them from at RMKstore on eBay.

Last week, we showed you a look at sneakerhead Jason Negron’s innovative new take on the custom kicks game. Rather than painting shoes, Jason actually removes and switches the outsoles of some Nike classics to give birth to some fresh never-before-seen colorways. The Air Foamposite seems to be Jason’s weapon of choice as you’ve already seen with his Eggplant and Neon concoctions. Now we turn our attention to another set of mix and matched Air Foamposites. As you can see, Jason has taken the Pearl Foamposite Pro and the Black/Red Air Foamposite and swapped the soles to create two new versions that look like they could have (or maybe should have) come straight from Beaverton.
Unlike the set that we showed you last week, this switch-up presented a slightly bigger challenge being that the Foamposite Pro sports an alternate version of the original outsole. As you can see, Jason was up to the task and both pairs look amazing. Keep reading to see more pics of both and to get in touch with Jason about whipping something up for you, contact him through PackerShoes. We have been assured that there is more magic in the works, so stay tuned for more of these unique custom creations in the near future.

2, 5 and 9 might be Manny Pacquiao’s lucky numbers. On May (5) second (2) of this year (oh 9), Pacquiao became the first man to knock out England’s Ricky Hatton. He did it in 2 minutes, 59 seconds. If there were only 259 or 529 of these amazing Nike Trainer 1s, we’d understand, but instead we find the numbers under a panel of translucent outsole. Those panels are among the scant few details on these kicks that aren’t black, grey or neon green. In the right light, the glow in the dark grey elements shift to that same shade of green. The ‘Lights Out’ theme is a perfect way to commemorate the Philippines’ native son in grand fashion, and previously we thought they’d only be released there. As it turns out, there’s going to be a release tomorrow, Friday, September 25th at a smaller-than-Tier-Zero list of US retailers that you can read, along with more photos after the jump. via FRESHNESS

Yesterday, images of a new Air Penny II colorway popped up, seemingly out of nowhere. Not much information was known at the time, especially whether or not these were just a sample or would actually be releasing. In what is looking like one of the better kept secrets of late, this incredible Black/Metallic Copper edition of the Air Penny II will not only be hitting retail, but they will be here much sooner than anyone expected. These beauties will be dropping at House of Hoops locations this Saturday, September 26th. As you might figure, they will be flying off the shelves, so consider yourselves properly cautioned and be sure to get there early. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Lebron James along with a number of cast members, producers, and other celebrities attended the More Than A Game album (soundtrack) release party at Marquee in New York City this past Tuesday night. Notable celebrities who attended were Akon, DJ Clue, Wale, Tiana Taylor, DJ Webstar, Cory Gunz, Ester Dean, and more. Amongst all of these celebrities Lebron, Tiana Taylor, and Wale were rocking the best sneakers of the night. King James pulled out a pair of fresh Air Max 97′s while Tiana Taylor was seen wearing the “Hare” Air Jordan I’s, and Wale like the true sneakerhead that he is, supported James by wearing a pair of the Nike Zoom Lebron VI Los Angeles “Tale of Three Cities”.

We have some good news for those of you that were bummed out to hear that the Dizzee Rascal-designed “Tongue N’ Cheek” Air Max 90 was dropping in limited quantities at the Nike Sportswear store in London. The intriguing collaboration shoe is hitting the 21 Mercer store in NYC today, so if you’ve been drooling over the pics, here’s your chance to pick up a pair. As you might expect, these will go fast, so don’t hesitate or your only option will be the often-inflated resale market. Good luck.

Late 2009 is an Air Jordan XII (12) fan’s dream come true. We’re not seeing anywhere near the crazy spread Jay Jones showed off back in July but there are three AJXII retros on the way very soon. Even if you get the Rising Sun, Flu Game and/or regular season home joints in white/red, Jay still would have had you beat. That could change with the above pictured Michael Finley PE. The white and blue colourway created for Chicago native Finley as a home look at the Dallas Mavericks’ American Airlines Center back in 2003-04 adds ‘FIN’ and ’4′ emrboideries to the left and right outer heel, respectively. Keep up with the Joneses and cop these today from ISC on eBay.
