Although both of these models have already started popping up at select retailers and eBay auctions, the official release dates have been changed. In the case of the Air Max LeBron VII, it was originally supposed to drop on October 24th. It was pushed back to October 29th and now has been moved up to its original release date of Saturday October 24th. The Rising Sun edition of the Air Jordan XII on the other hand, has now been moved back from its original October 24th date to some time in November. We’ll keep you updated on any further changes, but as of now, expect the White/Black/Varsity Red LeBron VII’s to hit retailers this Saturday.

Hit those ATMs and head over to Lafayette Street starting tomorrow if you want a crack at some hidden Alife gems from the last 6 seasons at heavily discounted prices. The brand is changing warehouses, and rather than lugging all that old gear to the new space, they have decided to open up a clearance shop for the next 10 days at 359 Lafayette Street. A variety of t-shirts, sweatshirts, footwear, accessories and more will be available at 50-80% off their original prices from Friday October 23rd through November 1st, so if you slept on some past Alife gear, this might be your chance to scoop it up for a significant mark-down.

A few weeks back, we saw the release of the Nice Kicks x Asics Gel Lyte III in a rich blend of Red materials, but that’s not the only blog collaboration in the works for Asics. We already saw their Culture Shoq Gel Lyte III back in late July, and now we get a look at the third installment of the pack, the High Snobiety edition. It appears that the shoe sports a combination of grey patent leather and perforated blue suede. These are scheduled for release next month, so you can expect some more pics and info in the near future.

The second half to the exclusive KICKS LAB pack by SBTG is the Blue Devils Nike Dunk Low. Stemming from the Black Mamba Dunk High, made especially for Kobe Bryant. The Blue Devils use the “What If” storyline where instead of heading straight to the NBA out of high school, Kobe Bryant enrolls in Duke University. This Nike Dunk Low features Stealth Rival Camouflage and a Black Panther print on the heel panel. As mentioned earlier these sneakers are exclusive to the KICKS LAB Vol. 4 Event in Shibuya, Tokyo. via Freshness

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

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.
