When you think “Trainer” and “Livestrong”, notions of hard-work, determination, and blood, sweat, and tears should permeate your thoughts. Lance Armstrong is the epitome of the indomitable athlete, and together with the Trainer, Nike has put out the Livestrong Nike Trainer 1 in the inspiring colourway. The Livestrong yellow sole and swoosh outline, a black nubuck upper, and grey outer toeguard give the widely popular Trainer 1 an even more vigorous appearance, but remember there’s another predominantly white colourway of the Livestrong Trainer 1. We’ll let you know when these Livestrong Trainers drop. via SC.

Another trade show preview; the Bright Show, to be exact. Asics is pretty much nothing but old-people running shoes to sneakerheads in the US. But elsewhere, specifically Europe, all trainers and runners fancy the eye of aficionados. It’s not surprise, really, when you see designs like this. No over the top graphics, no off-beat concepts. Just strong color-blocking and quality material. Good enough. Take a look at some Asics samples set to drop for the Fall and Winter seasons. via HS

We’ve previewed a number of All-Star colourways of Nike basketball shoes, particularly the All-Star LeBron VII and All-Star Kobe V. Let’s not forget the other big dog in the basketball shoe game, because there are two adidas All-Star colourways – the adidas TS Supernatural Commander in the East Blue and the adidas TS Supernatural Creator in the West Red. Both features a Texas basketball logo, similar to the one found on the All-Star Air Force 1 2010. There are a number of great pics for you to examine, and expect these to be on the feet of NBA All-Stars like Dwight Howard and the controversial selection Tracy McGrady. via kenlu.

The phrase “I Love New York” is as famous a catch phrase as any other. The I Heart NY print can be seen on t-shirts at souvenir shops or on plastic bags from your corner bodega. Such a provincial saying is limited to New York, but this new duet of Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars in a Low and High make it fitting for any city. The “I Heart” is followed by a large blank for you to fill in your favorite city/object/person, or you can just leave it blank as is. This is a Product (Red) item so you know you’d be showing your love to someone else in need, and with the recent tragedy in Haiti, help is always needed. via bkrw.

Seeing a pair of Jordans on the hardwood is always a nice treat; NBA players themselves are without a doubt fans of Michael Jordan, so it can be refreshing to know that a professional athlete shares the same sentiments as you do. On Sunday night, we saw the latest member of Team Jordan Dwyane Wade rock a pair of the White/Red Air Jordan XII, but with a slight twist. Yesterday, Wade wore a variation of the Flu Game Air Jordan XII, continuing his display of homage to Michael Jordan who is no longer just his idol, but also his employer.
Unfortunately, the only Heat that showed up was that on Wade’s feet, as Miami got blown out by nearly forty points. Just like the White/Red XIIs Wade wore on Sunday, the Flu Game’s he sported yesterday night featured gold on the sides of the midsole and on the Jumpman, and also in place of the heel graphic. The Flu Game “face” also appears to be absent on the tongue. So what will D-Wade wear next? Possibly the soon-to-release Air Jordan VI Varsity Red? via Yahoo Sports.

The Nike Air Max A Lot is an obvious mix of Scottie Pippen’s two Nike sigs from the 90′s, the Nike Air More Uptempo and Nike Air Pippen II. While the recently previewed “Rasta” colourway of this mash-up was left with mixed reviews, this new Chicago Bulls colourway will have you second-guessing your opinions. The upper is entirely black with a patent leather toe, while the midsole shares red and white – and again, the Bulls color combo doesn’t fail to impress. Check out the tongue and you’ll see that Nike is not hiding their intentions with the Max A Lot design. via tistory.

We’ve seen several looks at the Cool Grey palettes for the Nike Air Max LeBron VII already, but none as in-depth as these. Now, we’ve done posts with more pictures, but this one gives the diehard sneakerheads a unique look at the sampling process. You can see some notes written on the shoes themselves, which have apparently been scrawled by a Ben Smith.
You’ll find his name on the Pou Chen sample label and there are a bunch of highly detailed papers that accompanied the kicks. These detail key features of these samples and how these should look when they hit retail. Word is, they’re set for an Eastbay exclusive, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via NT

Liked the Air Royal Mid we saw earlier today (feel free to scroll down, it’s the post just before this one)? Here’s a Nike Air Flytop with a versatile springy look. It shares the same smooth white leather that formed the aforementioned Air Royal’s upper, but these go with darker accent hits. Black and super dark grey compel you to avoid navy blue, but everything else is good to go. A perfect staple shoe for spring, these joints just dropped at Caliroots.

Between all the trade shows going on lately, there’s a whole lot of previews for upcoming stuff from a bunch of brands. Here, a sneak peak from one of the boutique pioneers- Alife. From what we can tell so far, Alife is yet another brand transitioning towards the lifestyle look rather than the typical athletic-influenced sneaker. Look forward to a bunch of new colorways of existing styles, as well as all-new models, for 2010. via HS

Spring will, well, spring any time now, so get your white-sneaker game ready for the upcoming warm weather. This Nike Air Royal Mid is done in smooth white leather, including the Royal’s signature perforated Swoosh outlines. A soft-as-sweatpants grey colour come in on the laces and the top of the tongue. A nice clean look that can match literally anything, these Air Royals are available from Caliroots.
