Back in 2005, Nike SB released a Black/Royal Blue Dunk Low that became known as the J-Pack edition because of its obvious color similarities to the classic colorway of the Air Jordan 1. A few years later, Nike SB kept the concept going with a like-minded version of the Air Trainer II, and now the color scheme returns to the Dunk, this time using a Mid. This SB Dunk Mid takes a slightly different approach from the original Low model, using a mostly Royal Blue suede upper with a White midsole and some hits of Black leather on the toe box, Swoosh and the ankle section of the heel. A Black outsole, tongue and laces finish off the J-Pack look, making this Dunk Mid very appealing to fans of the original J-Pack releases. If you’re feeling these, you can already find them in stock at Flatspot.

For many, the adidas Originals by Originals collection from Jeremy Scott has been a cult favorite and especially the JS Wings Sneaker. In its initial launch, the Gold JS Wings Sneaker was a highly sought after item and subsequent editions has sold out just as quickly. During the Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Show during London Fashion Week, male models were seen wearing a Hologram edition of the JS Wings Sneaker which leads us to think that will potentially release for the Spring/Summer 2010 season. Stick to Sneaker News for the latest updates on the adidas x Jeremy Scott JS Wings – Hologram Edition. Check out some photos from the London Fashion Week Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Show.

Thanks to the Retro release of the OG Air Max 1 colorways and the introduction of the Air Maxim 1, the classic running shoe is enjoying some long overdue time in the spotlight. As we have been previewing for the last few months, the Air Max 1 fun will not be ceasing anytime soon as a number of new colorways will be hitting stores in the near future. A few weeks ago, we gave you a nice up-close look at this Red/White/Black edition from the East vs. West pack, along with news that they were beginning to arrive at some overseas retailers. Now we get another look, this time with better views of the “West” tongue label and the same beaver cartoon graphics on the insoles that were seen yesterday on the Navy Blue version of the Air Max 1 West. Now they are invading American soil and can be found in stock already at the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store and other select NSW accounts.

Many of you have been following LeBron’s More Than A Game World Tour since it first kicked off in Chicago, and after hitting cities in Asia and Europe, the final leg has returned to the States. Last night, we showed you what went down at the NYC event, and now it’s time to check out the City Pack and Artist Series versions of the Air Max LeBron VII. As we already previewed last week, the NYC City Pack installment displays a photo of a young LeBron taking charge on court with his St. Vincent St. Mary high school squad, and like with the others, the city name is featured on the heel section of the Air bubble. The Artist Series Air Max LeBron VII takes somewhat of a minimalist approach compared to some others that we’ve seen, but still manages to create something memorable. Artist Tomokazu Matsuyama kept it super clean, going with a White on White look decorated with numerals that have been outlined with over 700 actual Swarovski crystals. Keep reading after the jump for more pics of both, as well as some additional information on Matsuyama and his inspiration for the New York City Artist Series.

Seinfeld is back on the air.  Well, sorta.  Being revived with a sort of ficticious reunion as a plot device on this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, we can’t help but remember how Jerry rocked the OG version of this legendary pair of Nike boots.  The Nike Air Magma ACG is one of All Conditions Gear’s most recognizable model and it’s back in couple of new colourways for fall.  A black pair pictured above finds olive green accents on the heel.  It remains to be seen how they’ll update Jerry’s look on the show but you can cop yours today from atmos.

Yesterday, the masses gathered in New York City’s Lower East Side as the LeBron James More Than A Game World Tour rolled into town for its second to last stop on the promotional journey. Attendees were treated to a wide variety of activities, exhibits and food, as thousands made their way down to get a look at King James in the flesh. In addition to a visit from LeBron, the event also boasted plenty of other ways to stay entertained from basketball activities, to video games, to a Nike iD station and much more. There were also areas set up to get a free haircut, have your sneakers whitened or slap on some temporary LeBron tattoos, not to mention hang with the guys from the DJ Scratch Academy or have your image inserted into the More Than A Game film via “blue screen.” The Community Day event offered something for just about everyone in attendance with a free concert helping to wrap up the festivities. If you weren’t able to make it down to the event yesterday, you can check out a ton of pics after the jump for a look at what you may have missed.  Via Freshness.

Air Jordan Spiz’ikes and Spizike Winterized Boots have always included elephant print.  This latest drop omits Jordan Brand’s signature print and adds another that we expect to be seeing alot more of in the coming months.  It doesn’t have a name yet, but the splattered portion of rear midsole on these is the same design and colour as a couple pairs of Hallowed Grounds.  Aside from that and the green sockliner, the only non-black shades on this are the white speckles on mudguard sections normally occupied by elephant print.  If you’re feelin the splatter vibe, cop yours today from Wellgosh.

During last year’s NBA season, Nike introduced their Pro-Combat line, a collection of padded Dri-Fit accessories designed to keep the sweat away and protect you from the dangers of athletic battle. The Pro Combat line has now become available for purchase and to remind folks about the innovative products, Nike has put together a series of commercials showing off the goods. Many of you have probably already seen the football version featuring superstar running back, Adrian Peterson, covered by some reptilian-looking Pro Combat skin. With their football bases covered, now it’s time for LeBron James to carry the basketball leg of the new Pro Combat ad campaign. Keep reading for a look at the commercial in its entirety and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the new White/Navy Air Max LeBron VII colorway that we previewed last month.

If this were a political argument, somebody would accuse Complex of flip-flopping.  As it stands, this is just a list of what one group of magazine editors thought were the best kicks from the last decade, so maybe we can reserve the name calling for a more serious forum.  They came back with 10 more sneakers that just missed the cut.  The list itself is just like the 100 before it: you could easily hollar about what’s there and what’s not.  Key points to take away from this include: Complex purposely omitted most Jordan retros to avoid clogging the list; limited distribution is a selling point for some kicks but not for the Solebox ‘Purple Devil’ New Balance 1500s; and finally, that the Nike Air Max 90 was released in 1990.  We’re guessing you know that, and that you know there are more photos after the jump.

Parra has enjoyed a year full of sneaker collaborations.  What looks to be the final, a Nike Air Maxim 1 in black with a doubly-speckled midsole will drop with some bonuses.  His work for Vans and Converse was just sneakers but the Nike collabo adds two tee shirt designs.  We know that the tongue tag reads ‘Loners’ and it looks like that theme extends onto the grey handwritten shirt.  As for the burgundy graphic tee, who knows what he’s trying to get across there, but the colours are awesome as always.  Overdope reports an October 1st release in Taiwan so stick with Sneaker News for updates on a stateside release.  In the meantime, click the jump below for an up-close video.

To the delight of many, new colorways of the Air Max 90 just keep on coming. This latest version adopts a color scheme that is not too foreign from some other Nike releases of the past, but offers a new look for the classic AM90. This Air Max 90 Premium sports an Olympic-looking palette, using a Navy leather upper with sections of White mesh on the toe box and around the ankle. The patriotic color combo is then sprinkled with some touches of Red and Light Blue with a large Metallic Gold section of the midsole surrounding the visible Air bubble. This Premium installment of the Air Max 90 is expected to hit shelves some time in the Spring 2010 season, but for now, you can get a look at some more pics after the jump. Via Glltn.
