Nelly was spotted out in London leaving his hotel with a crisp pair of the recently released Air Jordan Force Fusion IV’s (4) in Black, Varsity Red, and Stealth on. The rapper then was seen partying at London nightclub, Maya. Nelly is one of the few celebrities that we typically always see in Air Jordan’s, so it comes as no surprise that he’d have a pair of these AJF 4′s on. In addition, Nelly had on a nice Louis Vuitton fleece hoodie, that we’re sure cost a lot more than the shoes. via Gossip Center

When you hear the word Nike followed by Day of the Dead, most sneakerheads will immediately think of the much sought-after Dunk SB version, but a new pack is on the way that will attempt to share in the success of the original. A few weeks back, we showed you a sneak preview of Nike’s upcoming Day of the Dead pack, followed up by a closer look at the Air Max 90 edition. Now we bring you a glimpse of the Dunk High installment of the pack. The shoe sports a Black leather upper and midsole with large sections of Purple skull-n-bones type graphics covering the overlay. As if that wasn’t enough, the kicks also feature a Poison Green Swoosh and lining with some bright Orange found on the tongue label and all over the contrast stitching on the upper. As an added bonus, the insole is also graced by a stylized skeleton illustration that fits right in with the spooky aesthetic of the Pack. If you’ve been kicking yourself for years for missing out on the first Day of the Dead Dunk, you will get your shot at these when they hit Nike Quickstrike accounts in early November.  Via Dunkbar.

We first showed you some pics of this Air Max LeBron VII colorway last month and recently, they popped up again for a cameo in the LeBron James Nike Pro Combat commercial. Now, we get another look at this crisp Olympic-looking color scheme. The shoe features a White leather upper with large splashes of Navy Blue on the tongue, ankle section and outsole, as well as on the Flywire-threaded midpanel. Additional accents are provided by a Metallic Gold outline around the Swoosh and a few subtle hints of Red spread throughout. The White/Navy/Gold Air Max LeBron VII’s are expected to hit retail this fall, but if these pics are raising your anticipation levels, you can grab a pair early from MarqueeSole.

When he isn’t busy challenging Kobe Bryant in video game b-ball, you can be sure he’s preparing to avenge his Nuggets’ elimination at the hands of Bryant’s Lakers last June.  Expect to see alot of these along the way during Melo’s regular season games away from Denver’s Pepsi Center.  The Air Jordan Melo M6 pictured above in black will find its university blue and yellow hits reflected in the Rich-n-Creamies’ powder blue away unis.  These are very limited but you can cop yours today from Osneaker

The Wu-Tang Clan and their legendary Nike Dunk High have been credited with starting the latest wave of sneakerhead culture.  There’s so much street cred in the ‘W’ logo that adidas snuck it onto Method Man’s Superstar II, Fila used it to try to resurrect their hype and now a burgeoning brand seeks to co-opt the Shaolin steez.  Dekline’s Killerbee lowtop comes predictably in black and yellow, atop a white vulcanized rubber sole that sports a yellow foxing band.  At a penny shy of seventy bucks, these are a far cry from the nearly seven grand you’d expect to drop on a pair of Wu-Tang Dunks.  Cop yours today from Millennium Shoes.

New York and Chicago were both part of Nike’s For Love of the City Pack early this year.  Two of the nation’s three largest cities, we weren’t surprised to see them back for the latest City Pack.  For the other two entrants, Nike picked two new cities, including one unlikely choice.  Atlanta is a hotspot of sneakerhead culture in the south and this crazy black Big Nike High with its eye-catching textile side panels goes with the classic Hawks colourway of red, yellow and white for accents.  It’s the Long Beach model in white, black and purple that’s somewhat puzzling.  Aside from Snoop’s Chucks and of course Proper, it’s not the most obvious choice, but now the LBC has a pair of Nikes to call their own.  You can do the same, just head to a local Nike Sportswear retailer, like their flagship store in New York.

There’s no denying that the Air Max 1 is having an amazing year for both new and OG colorways, and there is no sign of that slowing down through the Holiday ’09 season. Here we get a look at a fresh new style for the ladies, using a solid Beet Red suede/mesh upper with some crispy White accents to help provide some contrast. The color blocking on the upper is simple enough, but the real standout feature is the White midsole covered by Red speckles, giving the otherwise subtle design an extra stylish touch. If you like what you see, you can get a better look after the jump, and be on the lookout for these in women’s sizes this December. Via Dunk.

Chicago is America’s ‘Second City’, but the Bulls’ black, red and white colour scheme is number one for sneakers.  Michael Jordan’s immense impact on sneakers and basketball are both evident if you ever stop to consider that before the fine-inducing Air Jordan 1, all basketball shoes were white.  This new Nike Blazer High, then, celebrates Chi-town’s contribution to the sneaker game, adding red stitching and other details to a rich black leather design.  Like the Blazers that quite literally reflect NYC, these are available at Nike Sportswear retailers including the 21 Mercer St. flagship store in New York.

Having just showed an inside look at the new selection for the Royalefam Varsity Bones collection, The Thriller, here’s another preview to the third installment.  The BRMC, or Black Rebel Motorpsycho Club, is fantasy biker gang that lives fast and dies young.  The design attributes to the unconformity to society, and rather taking to the road with your loyal comrades.  The BRMC Dunk is an intense mix of locks and chains, denim rivets, gang patches and zippers on quilted linings, and animal fur.  Like The Thriller Blazer, this highway hellion is set to launch October 5th from the Royalefam site.

Back in June, we gave you a sneak preview of an updated version of the Air Trainer SC that will be hitting the shelves in 2010. Like the Air Trainer 1′s transition into the Trainer 1, The Trainer SC 2010 has also taken the classic design and modernized using new technologies like Flywire and a Free sole. This version of the shoe joins in on the ongoing Bo Jackson tribute by paying homage to Bo’s days on the diamond with some baseball glove leather used for the upper. In addition to the brown leather upper and tasteful white and black accents and gold contrast stitching, the shoe also flaunts some laser detailing on the ankle with a “Bo Knows 1989″ graphic. Exact release info is still unknown, but expect these to hit select retailers some time early next year.

If you were making a list of cities to include in a pack of sneakers, New York would be the hands down number one choice.  The default capital for global sneakerhead culture is getting another pair of Nikes in its honour.  This Nike Blazer High has an obvious Yankee appeal, from its navy blue and white construction to the even more obvious inclusion of pinstripes on the eyelets.  ‘NYC’ embroidery under the side panel Swooshes set the story straight once and for all.  You can cop these at good Nike Sportswear accounts including their flagship store in SoHo.

Were it not for a freak injury to QB Sam Bradford in their opening loss to BYU, Oklahoma could count themselves among the undefeated members of this pack.  Then again, had USC quarterback Matt Barkley been in last weeks game . . . College football is fun beacause it’s so unpredictable.  The Nike Trainer 1 College Football Pack includes a pair each for University of Floriday, University of Alabama, University of Oklahoma and University of Texas.  These are four of the best programs in the country year in and year out, and you can just ask former Sooner Adrian Peterson how hard that is.  All of them go with white on the toe and heel, plus team colours on the side panels and other details.  If you wanna Be True To Your School in an oblong, bouncing in random directions kinda way, cop your favourite team’s edition today from Eastbay.
