If the Jeremy Scott x adidas 3 Tongue Attitude still didn’t provide you with enough tongue, the new JS Conductor High has got you covered. Jeremy took the classic Conductor High model and as with his other creations, gave it a unique new look sure to turn heads wherever they go. For the most part, the shoe sticks to its original form, but flaunts the addition of a giant full-length tongue that covers the entire lacing section and connects with a buckled strap that serves as the middle stripe in the adidas 3 stripe logo. As you can see, the JS Conductor High has just been released in two colorways: one sporting a black on black look and the other going with a traditional black/white color scheme. If you’re a fan of the Jeremy Scott collection or have become one thanks to these eye-catchers, you can find both versions in stock now at PackerShoes.

If you’re here looking for the latest info on upcoming sneakers, you’re in the right place. Let’s take a look at just a small sampling of the huge spread Nike Sportswear has in store for Spring 2010. Pictured above is the Nike Air Classic BW in the increasingly-popular pairing of dark navy and black that pretty much signals an end to that old rule, as least as far as streetwear is concerned. The contradindicated colourway isn’t the key feature, though, as these prominently display Nike’s new lightweight Torch material on the toe and side panels.
The BW is joined by an Air Structure Triax 91 we got a glimpse of in September that loans its pink hits to a ravey-looking Lunar Mariah. Last but certainly not least is a new look at the upcoming Futura x Nike Air Force 1 Low. Like all samples, they’re probably going to undergo some changes before reaching retail shelves, so stick with Sneaker News for updates along the way. Which of these has you most excited for next spring? via NT

Aquatone (aqua tone) is a colour made famous by the Air Jordan VIII (8) ‘Aqua’. This particular shade of blue/green, along with a dash of concord purple and a black base make up the often-imitated look, but we rarely see that duo on a white canvas. Consider that a thing of the past thanks to this Nike Auto Flight High. Its vulcanized rubber sole is wilder than almost every other autoclaved street-pieces we’ve seen, incorporating sweeping lines that are similar to how the Air Hoop Structure borrowed on the Aqua theme. They’ll be out just in time for Christmas, so check Sneaker News for updates.

You might remember that before the Zoom Kobe IV dropped last winter, Kobe Bryant was seen rocking a very interesting pair of hybrid kicks that took the Hyperdunk model that Kobe was instrumental in launching, and updated it with the outsole from the Zoom Kobe IV. Unfortunately the hybrid version never hit retail, but at least we got to check out some pics of the intriguing mash-up. Now, with the Zoom Kobe V around the corner, we get a look at another possibly Kobe-inspired hybrid shoe that takes a similar approach. While it is not exact, this Hyperize-ish new style sports a midsole and outsole pretty similar to the Kobe V, along with a heavily Flywired upper.
The color scheme of this particular sample goes with a simple white base accented by Navy and Red, with some matching graphics on the ankle and heel. The colorway doesn’t seem to have a Kobe connection unless it’s an Olympic nod, so it’s hard to say for sure if these are in fact the same type of Kobe hybrid that we saw last season with the Hyperdunk, but the tooling would certainly make you think so. Check out last year’s Zoom Kobe IV x Hyperdunks after the jump, and stay tuned for more info on this mysterious new model that may or may not be hitting stores next year. Via NT.

Count Britain’s Hanon as the fifth high profile European boutique to jump on board the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary celebration. Joining elite company including Paris’ colette, Berlin’s Solebox, Stockholm boys SneakersnStuff and fellow redcoats Size?, Hanon has crafted a mysterious little teaser video to dramatize next month’s release. From what we can see, their take on the two decade-old design is tonal greys with a multicolour pixel pattern printed on the tongue looks like something Zack Morris would have loved. These will drop on November 19th, so we’ll have more updates between now and then.

Kevin Garnett is back in Boston, but conspicuously missing from this latest Nike retro release. Formerly his third signature sneaker, the Air Garnett III is now simply the Nike Air 3, and this edition is a clear throwback to KG’s days of prowling the paint in Minneapolis’ Target Center. As with the black pair and the upcoming Flightposite II LE retro, all Garnett and OBF-related details have been removed to avoid any legal squabbles, but the spirt of the shoe, it’s swooping side panels and gradient-bearing textile treatments are still here. Expect them at Nike Sportswear retailers in just over a month.

Last year’s ‘triple black’ Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) was dubbed ‘Batman’ because of its dark look coinciding with a wave of support for the modern classic The Dark Knight. It’s only natural to see the Air Max LeBron VII (7) in black especially considering King James himself pushes a dark-as-night Rolls Royce Phantom, just as natural to nickname these the ‘Phantoms’.
These drop the metallic gold accents we saw on an earlier preview in favor of a mix of metallic silver and a darker, pewter-like metal. Then again, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to see both hit retail shelves, especially considering the overwhealming similarities of the various City Pack releases. As for the joints above, they’re going to drop on Thursday, December 17th at Foot Locker and House of Hoops stores, so you’ll have just enough time to get em wrapped up and under the tree.
