As promised here is some more information on the SABLE Air Force 1. This particular AF1 was surely designed with SBTG’s first Nike SB Dunk SBTG in mind. The SABLE AF1 is a chance for those who missed the boat on the Nike SB Dunk SBTG first time around. This custom AF1 features the same green leaf camouflage print with some nice contrasting red accents, similar to the Nike SB Dunk SBTG from 2006. There are a few new additions to the SABLE AF1 as well, which include some raw denim panels, a leopard pattern on the signature Swoosh, as well as the names of the collaborators on the heel panel. As mentioned earlier these sneakers are exclusive to the KICKS LAB Vol. 4 Event in Shibuya, Tokyo. Via Freshness

Here is a look at the Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador II in a St. Vincent Saint Mary color scheme. These Lebrons come in a white/white-deep forest colorway. The shoe is predominantly white, with a green midsole, outsole and heel padding . There are small gold accents on the tongue, heel and contrast stitching that bring this Zoom LBJ Ambassador to life. The upper is leather with nubuck on the padded heel and a rubber midsole and outsole. These Zoom LBJ Ambassador II’s are already hitting Asian retailers, so we’ll keep you posted on their arrival in the States. Via Dunk.com

There have been a bunch of sneakers with American Indian-inspired designs, but this one coms off looking more like a bizarro-Native more than authentic. That’s saying nothing bad of this Nike Air Force 1 Low Bespoke designed by a guy who calls himself simply, ‘Alex’. It’s actually quite an interesting design that mixes multiply-coloured and -textured croc skins with X-shaped stitching. They remind us that plenty of fashionable dudes rocked lizard skins before sneakers hit the scene and some still will. Peep more photos after the jump and head over to Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer St. flagship store to design your own pair.

We see alot of Air Jordan 1s in various forms, draped in alot of different colourways these days. The grade school sizes often feature some of the crazier product, including the Air Jordan 1 High Strap GS pictured above. It rides the line between grey and metallic silver with a sort of weathered application of the metallic panels. Blue laces and other accents finish off the icey cool look. Cop yours at JB retailers like Millennium Shoes.

Nike will be launching a new version of the Nike Air Maxim 1 in Spring 2010 as a part of their Nike Sportswear Spring 2010 Collection. The new Air Maxim 1 Torch combines some of Nike’s newest and best technologies into the shoe including Nike Flywire and a new material called Torch, which makes the shoe lighter and more breathable. The Torch materials seen on this Air Maxim 1 is the Black web like material on the toebox and collar of the shoe. This Black and Varsity Maize colorway of the shoe might lead many into believing that it’s actually a LIVESTRONG shoe, when in fact it isn’t. Look for these to hit retailers in Spring 2010. via Freshness

With all these Sixty Plus Points releases, let’s not forget about the shoe that started this idea. The Air Jordan Sixty Plus combines features of Air Jordans II (2), III (3), V (5) and VII (7) into one of the smoothest hybrids we’ve seen. It probably helps that this ‘era’ of Jays draws on some common aesthetic principles, and we’re certainly not complaining about this latest colourway. It’s heavy on white and black, whith just a little green to remind us of that legendary 69 point playoff game. These will drop stateside shortly, so for now, cop yours from Dunk.com.cn

When it comes to sneaker culture, there isn’t much else out there that captures the same level of rabid love and devotion shown to the Air Jordan line, but in recent years, the Nike SB Dunk movement has definitely given JB a run for its money. Last night, we showed you some stunning photo tributes to the Air Jordan, and now we turn our attention to some Nike SB love. While the Air Jordan series embodies the very best in sneaker style, class and innovation, the SB Dunk arsenal relies more on personality and creativity, with an overall fun vibe that both skaters and sneaker collectors have obviously found very intoxicating.
With all the wild colorways, materials and concepts that have been explored over the years, this Nike SB Dunk showcase gives a look at some of the freshest, rarest and most beloved versions of the SB Dunk in some styles that go well beyond the stale product shots that we’re used to seeing. Keep reading for multiple pages of Dunk SB photography showing off some of your favorites in more artistic fashion than usual, and once again, thanks to all the individual photographers for spreading their love of Dunk SB’s with the rest of us. Via SC.

It seems like Nike has released more sneakers that look like carbon fiber than ones that actually include the lightweight ‘fabric’. With the Nike Blazer High taking on the pearlescent Posite look, it was ready for the space aged update that is this pair. On paper, they can be as simple as black, white and a few shades of grey, or as complex as the translucent side panels that cover the carbon fiber upper. Scored foam on the sockliner gives these a nice look into the future of quilting. Take a look at photos of this upcoming release after the jump and act fast if you wanna cop a sample in US mens size 9 from JasonWhite9 on eBay.

Sneakerness took over Zurich for its May 2009 show, thrust into the spotlight by two dope Nike Air Force 1s. One was a custom, the other Bespoke, but neither style paved the way for this month’s meetup in Vienna. The usual swapmeet stuff dominated the proceedings, but an appearance from Bobbito Garcia and a Nike iD installation added a little something extra. Speaking of something extra, what the Vienna show lacked in AF1s it made up with a Sneakerness x KangaROOS collaboration. Check out a ton of photos of the event after the jump. via SF
