Here’s a Nike Air Force 1 Low Bespoke Smush Parker would have been proud of in a former life. The ex-Lakers guard showed off his wide assortment of Premium MX AF1 Lows from Nike iD earlier this summer. It’s a tad confusing that the Bespoke designed by Johnny Hockin uses the new MX sole that has a different translucent Air appearance than the Premium MX line of AF1s, but we trust you can keep em straight. Johnny’s well crafted Bespokes go with a mostly white leather upper, adding purple denim to the rear panel along with gum rubber on the sole and a complimentary shade of golden brown in the sockliner that has us thinking Staples Center. Whether you love or hate this one, if it inspires you to make your own, call Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer St. store in New York for an appointment.

To say that ALIFE got their swag on with this latest drop is an understatement. Now, we’re not being effusive with praise here (even if the colours are spectacular). More pointing out that not only is the ALIFE Everybody America High pretty much a cut and paste (sew?) copy of the Nike Dunk High silhouette, but now they’ve applied the SWAGGER Terminator feel to two different pairs of Americas. There’s one pair each of turquoise or brown, each of which is constructed of a mix of lightly tumbled, patent and faux-lizard leathers, smooth nubuck, nylon mesh and woven nylon. Whew, that’s a mouthful, but the variety of fabrics gives a fantatic tonal effect. Grab both pairs so you can mix and match them; they’re available at ALIFE retailers like Wish.

This coming winter, Nike will put out a nice Winter Pack featuring number of models including the Nike Blazer Low pictured above. The sneaker goes with the simplest of tonal brown palettes, adding a strip of fabric around the sole and a multicoloured patch that really pops from the heel tab. While the insole might say “Maharam”, we have confirmed that these are not a collaboration with “Maharam“. Look for these this Winter season but you can cop a sample in US mens size 9 from Osneaker.

Halloween is definitely a holiday that lends itself to some interesting sneaker concepts, and Nike is getting into the spirit this year with a number of Trick or Treat-inspired kicks for the kids. Yesterday, we gave you a look at an attention-grabbing pair of Jack-O-Lantern-style Dunk Highs and now we turn our attention to another horror-themed GS release. This Blazer High features a Black upper and midsole with a clear Swoosh and Volt skeleton feet graphics along the sides and on the toe box. The kicks also stick with the concept on the skull tongue label, but we haven’t even told you the best part. To make these Blazers even more fun than they already look, the graphics have been equipped with glow-in-the-dark materials to let those bony feet show even at night. If you’ve been looking for something special to drop into the goodie bag this year, you can find these in GS sizes now from 95soleman on eBay.

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.
