The ‘Lost’ Nike SB Dunk High was found out of nowhere today, but here’s a good old fashioned preview. Word on the streets is that this Nike SB Dunk High is inspired by both the Chrome Ball Incident classic skate blog and the similarly classic Airwalk Enigma. The former, we can confirm from Nike SB themselves, but as for the Airwalk association, peep the pics after the jump and see the colour comparison. This urban haze and black Nike SB Dunk High Premium is due in stores July 2010.

“Bin 23,” does that ring a bell? What about “B in 23?” When we got a first glimpse at the upcoming brown/black/red Air Jordan II Retro, most were intrigued by its sophisticated colourway and use of croc skin. One observant commenter asked about the red circle on this pair’s outer ankle, which looks to emulate a wax stamp. We’re still not sure what it means, but along with that, you’ll get a good look at some new photos of these croc skinned AJIIs after the jump. via FC.T

Looks like adidas will be pushing their Conductor hightop this year. We’d seen some ‘special’ releases over the last year and a half or so, but those were all significantly modified relative to the OG design. After a dope checkerboard release last week, here’s a new adidas Conductor Hi, this time in browns, blacks and white. The mix of suedes and leathers in these particular colours gives this pair a dope rustic look, and a versatile appearance that you can wear with pretty much any outfit, any time of the year. Grab a pair today from Schuh-You.

Rasheed Wallace returned from a foot injury for Monday’s game against the visiting Dallas Mavericks. The Boston Celtics’ power forward must’ve wanted to take extra special care of his bum tarsals, cos he pulled out a very special Nike Air Force 1 High PE. They don’t appear to be Torch-equipped like another PE he had earlier this year, but that one wasn’t as visually impressive as these in white and green with a gum sole. Probably one of Sheed’s best AF1 PEs, you can see more photos of these after the jump. Photos via YahooSports.

Most of you may have seen the ‘Boom’ Dunk High by Matt French that Nike SB plans to release in January as a Quick Strike. What you may not have seen is that there are two other Quick Strike releases for this month that appear to be even more limited at the moment. One of these is the above Nike SB ‘Oceanic Airlines’ Dunk High. The all suede upper features germain and chlorine blue colors that play off the fictional Oceanic Airline logo, that is used in many films and television programs such as ‘Lost’. The shoes are offset with white accents on the swoosh, outsole, and mesh tongue. The shoes come complete with two pairs of laces; red and/or white. The insoles of the shoe feature a radar like map of the earth. They are also a ‘Considered Design’ which means that the shoes were designed and materials were picked with the environment in mind. The Nike SB ‘Sonar’ Dunk High Quickstrike is available now at A-Front in Houston, TX.

Safari has been creeping up on a bunch of different Nike profiles, but we’re glad to see it making a comeback in more traditional Air models. Following up on the pair of black/red Safari now comes a colorway even more foreign to the Air Safari. The purple fits the feel of more contemporary brands and styles, so its no surprise here. It’s a good think the purp stayed subtle in this design, only adding to a dark look of the black tonal upper. No signs of any popping up in US shops yet, but you can grab a pair from retailers like Titolo.

It’s been said before, but good puns deserve replay: Mayor is the King of Nike Air Force 1s. With over 1200 pairs in his collection, he’s the undisputed AF1 champ, and clearly a good dude. He boxed up a ton of his own kicks to send over to Help Haiti, but he’s by no means done with the sneaker game. Mayor recently sat down with Complex.com and named his Top 50 Nike Air Force 1s of all time. You’ll probably find some way to disagree, but that’s the fun of a list, innit?

Within Nike, there exists certain models that appeal only to a certain group. The Nike Footscape, for example, sees unabashed love or complete indifference, and the Nike Superfly Skimmer is no different. This newly designed, hate-it-or-love-it type shoe comes in a number of Womens colourways, sporting mesh and Nike Air Woven uppers and white, blank midsoles, somewhat of a welcome respite from the newer technology that has lately been running rampant. Sometimes, simple is better; check out the colourways after the jump. via harajuku.
