Vans Syndicate has released some white-hot collaborations over the years. You may have missed a few of them, but if you happen to be in Europe, you’re in luck. The Vans Syndicate Pop-Up Shop has just opened in Paris with a full stock of the Fall/Winter 2009 collection and a few choice selections from seasons gone by. Take a look at more photos after the jump, including just how awesome the wooden shelves look hanging on stone walls. via Union

There’s no doubt that the Lebron AM VII will go down in history as a revolutionary bball shoe. We just hope it doesn’t end up like the ZK4 saturating the market, coming out in 100+ colorways. But this Phantom colorway is acceptable. Black on black with metallic gold trim. Clean. Simple. Good. You may not have noticed in previous looks, but the Swoosh has a faint outline of gold dust. A nice little touch. If you agree on the design execution, pick up your pair now at Nikestore.

What timing to reveal these. Go ahead, start thinking of things to say when you leave a comment. We’re not gonna get into morals and ethics, leave his personal life out of it. It is a shame, though, that his career and endorsements are in question. Regardless what you think of the situation, you can’t deny his achievements in the game of golf. Hence, Nike even considering to create this Trainer 1 exclusively for Tiger himself. We’re a bit surprised of the color choice, being that he’s typically seen rocking black with red trimming. But brown for this upper looks perfect on the amazing quality of the leather, fit with a white Swoosh and orange accents. Appropriately, Tiger Woods branding is printed on the insole. Once again, these will never hit retail. And in light of the frenzy around his scandal, we don’t think they’d do so well anyway. via SC

Back in the day when Super Bowls were in January, the World Series was in October and the NBA regular season started in November, we had a holiday tradition at yours truly’s to ring in the new college hoops season with the Maui Invitational opening round games on Thanksgiving Eve.
It’s still a big tourney, but these Nike Hyperize PEs should help regain some of the shine lost to early/mid-November tips. Pairs in red/navy (Arizona) and black/white/gold (Purdue or Colorado) each feature a flowy hibiscus Hawaiian shirt print on the ankle collar. Say aloha to your local Foot Locker House of Hoops, who have these now.

Hiroshi Fujiwara has done a ton of subtly excellent work in collaboration with Nike. You might be surprised to hear he just finished a fragment design-edition Chuck, but the Swoosh does own Converse, afterall.
So here’s the first look at the Hiroshi Fujiwara for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star. It’s a part of the sprawling 1HUND(RED) collection, but bears no mention. Instead, there’s a small fragment design embroidered onto the heel in white, adding a flash to an otherwise entirely navy blue upper. These are set to drop at select Converse retailers everywhere on December 26th. via HS

We’ve started giving an inside look at adidas Consortium’s third City Series collection, but let’s not move forward too hastily. Part 2 of the series has started to pop up on the retail side of things, including Dave’s Quality Meat speaking for the New York state of mind. Opting for the current NY steez, the adidas ZX Runner is all black-out fitted with rugged waterproof fabric and metal eyelets and lace aglets to keep you dry and comfy. Certainly for the pedestrian or biker in mind, these are perfect for trekking through streets filled with rain, snow or any other type of grime that you might have to confront. Topped off with DQM branding on the tongue and embossed on one of the leather stripes. Limited in quantity, available now at the DQM shop.

Last year didn’t turn out exactly as planned, but Nike still found a way to make MVPuppets relevant for the long NBA regular season. Summer saw a Lil’ Dez t-shirt and Big Nike High, and now the puppets are teaming up with one of the biggest names in streetwear. The Undefeated ‘U-Man’ anthropomorphized varsity letter got up with Kobe and LeBron, each for their own co-branded tee. They’re dropping exclusively at UNDFTD chapter and web stores on Saturday, December 19th.

Up until the pair seen during the Countdown run, we haven’t seen anything for the Air Jordan IX. You can count the Silver Anniversary or White/Red Collection, but neither are up for grabs, so they don’t really count. It’s one of those underrated Jays, but definitely has some loyal followers with strong colorways like the Cool Greys, Olives and Powder Blues. It’s quite rare that a sample pops up that the internet doesn’t reveal within nine months of its anticipated release. But this pair certainly went under the radar. Expected to to drop in mid 2010, this pair rocks a slick black upper, white sole and bright citrus accents on the Jumpman logos, #23 and trim around the tongue. The mudguard features the grainy 3M material found on a few other AJ 9′s. Via Osneaker

It’s already been well documented that the new Nike Zoom Kobe V is pretty innovative in its design, specifically its amazing 10.6 ounce weight. Nike’s lightest basketball model ever owes its feather-like weight to a super streamlined and stripped down construction. You may have already seen our thorough Zoom Kobe V tech breakdown, and here we take things a step further with a look at a dissected Kobe V specimen that shows off each individual component of the shoe. The philosophy here with the extra-low cut and the bare minimum materials seems to be ‘less is more,’ and that means that what little you do see making up the shoe has been proven to be extremely durable despite the minimalist appearance.
As you can see, the entire upper is pretty much a one-piece Flywire-infused shell using heat-bonding technology to apply the overlay sections. You can also get a great look at the perforated mesh tongue and the cap and ankle wrap sections of the sculpted heel, as well as the layers of the midsole and outsole. Keep reading for a detailed look at the Zoom Kobe V, stripped down to each individual element for your viewing pleasure. Via HK-Kicks.

Michael Jordan’s signature is often displayed in subtle ways on Air Jordan sneakers. The Air Jordan XX3 might be the best example, with its black and red edition sporting multitudes of the signatures laser etched on the toebox, plus the side panels that blend MJ’s flowy John Hancock with UNC’s signature argyle pattern.
Those kicks and two other heavyweights from the Jordan legacy are pictured above with Upper Deck-endorsed signatures. To the left are the Carmine Air Jordan VI, along with the banned black and red AJ1 High. take a look at more photos after the jump, and stick with Sneaker News for the hottest Air Jordans. via SC
