What happens when you combine a sneakerhead’s favorite pair and man’s best friend? Lo and behold, the latest Air Jordan V and Air Max Dog, brought to you by none other than Vinti Andrews. Although there is a slight aspect of morbidity, these Nike Dogs are undoubtedly intriguing to the sneaker enthusiast. These latest sneaker-covered pooches are follow-ups to Vinti Andrews previous Nike Dog projects, like the Nike Pitbull. Although some footwear fanatics will have their stomachs turned by the sight of mutilated sneakers, we’d like to add that NO dogs or animals of any kind were harmed during the making of these sculptures. via Freshnessmag.

2009 was quite a year for the Air Jordan XII. We’ve seen retros in the Nubucks and the Flu Games, while some other non-signature Jordans have been inspired by the twelfth Jordan, such as the Jordan Phly Legend and the Air Jordan Flight 45. There’s no doubt that the Jordan XII was the idea behind these Air Jordan 45s, with the red pebbled outsold and vector-field stitching on the uppers. Another mainstay of the recent Jordan releases is the JORDAN branding that can be read both upright and upside-down, and this can be found on the strap. These can be yours by visiting Schuh-You.

A sample of the upcoming White/Orange colourway of the Futura x Nike Air Force 1 “Be True” Pack is now available on eBay. This is the third sample of the Be True Pack to hit eBay in the last few days, and something tells us the last of the four, the Matte Silver Air Force 1 High, will probably follow suit. Keep up with Sneaker News and we’ll give you the heads up when these hit eBay. For now, purchase the White/Orange, Grey Air Force 1 Low, and Navy/Electric Blue Air Force 1 High samples from eBay seller croatianstyle.

What’s a holiday season without Christmas colourways of your favorite shoes? The recently introduced Nike Air Max LeBron VII now has a Christmas colourway that we reported just a few days ago, so here are some more detailed images for you to enjoy. It looks like your typical black/red Cavaliers colourway, but there are very, very subtle hints of green that give these LeBron VIIs a festive touch. Another tidbit of Christmas is the peppermint-colored Air Max cushion. No official word on a U.S. release for these yet, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see them on LeBron’s feet when the Cavaliers take on Kobe and the Lakers in a juicy Christmas Day matchup. via Kinstor.

Before we are fully committed to moving onto 2010, there’s just a few things to remember about 2009. One case being the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Though many sneakerhead’s are too young to understand the significance, it was a momentous event that exemplified overcoming adversity. Overkill previewed a collab with New Balance to create a Berlin Wall Pack. With no better creative group to manifest a commemoration through sneakers that some of Berlin’s own, the pack consists of three NB 577′s: black, red or blue.
Though they may seem like your run-of-the-mill New Balances you can find at any local sporting goods store, what sets these apart are its peripherals. Each color pair comes with a different set of insoles featuring graphics of the Wall’s history. Additonally, a special tongue label, hangtag and secret goodie will also be included. 577 pairs of each colorway will be released on January 9th at the Overkill shop, as well as shops like Undefeated, Colette, Hanon, Sneakersnstuff, 24 Kilates and Wood Wood. Stay tuned for any additional shops who will be releasing.

The ties between Hiroshi Fujiwara’s “fragment design” and Nike Sportswear has been one that’s been well-documented and frequently lauded collaboration over the last few years. We just showed you the NOISE Terminator High in Black/Silver; now here are the latest products of Nike x fragment design, coming in the form of a Nike Tennis Classic and a Nike Footscape Motion. The Tennis Classics are an all-white variety with a hint of gold that makes it fit for a king. The Footscape Motions come in a purple colourway and a blue variety of the same design. For more info regarding the this Nike x fragment design collection, check out Freshnessmag and Honeyee.

Here’s a look at one of the latest colourways of the Asics Gel Lyte III. We don’t need to tell you that these look alarmingly like a Livestrong colourway, but there are no apparent ties between Asics and Lance Armstrong’s Nike line; nonetheless, the color combo is still fresh. Forgetting about the colourway and the resemblance to Livestrong, these are still primarily a pair of Asics Gel Lyte III. The customary split tongue, mesh toe, leather upper, and Gel cushioning are what make these so great…the colourway is just an added bonus. Grab your pair from German footwear retailer Schuh-You.

This year’s Christmas surprise by Nike comes in the form of a Nike Air Force 1 Premium Quickstrike in a festive Christmas/Snowflake colourway. What an interesting way to name a colourway. The snowflake colored midsole, inner lining, and shoelaces can be best described as an eggshell/grey color, while the contrasting Christmas colourway is found covering the luxurious leather upper and bottom sole. Christmas and snowflakes go hand-in-hand, as you can see by the tiny snowflakes on the Nike label on the tongue. Visit Caliroots and cop your Christmas Quickstrikes, regardless of whether you’ve been naughty or nice.

During the epic battle between Bruce Lee and Han towards the end of “Enter The Dragon”, Han manages to scar Bruce Lee with his artificial claw. We see the same shreds on the forefront of this newly revealed colourway of the Nike Zoom Kobe V, based on a simple, Lakers-based yellow/black colourway with the lacerations revealing red. This goes to show you that while Kobe, like Bruce, isn’t immortal and is capable of shedding blood, Kobe’s ferocity will prevail at the end. Bruce Lee states that “boards don’t hit back”, and Kobe takes that same mindset in his training and performance. Both Bruce Lee and Kobe Bryant do share a lot of attributes that have made each the elite of their peers, but let’s be glad Kobe doesn’t share Bruce’s hairdo. via MarqueeSole.
Update: Thanks to Coach J for the note, this colorway of the Zoom Kobe V is more of a Bruce Lee inspired colorway than a single movie colorway. The scars are a reference to the Enter The Dragon movie while the colors are inspired by the Game of Death movie where Bruce Lee battles Hakim (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in a yellow and black jump suit.
