There are as many colourways of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII as there are cells in the human body, but here is one that we should not be surprised about. Check out these images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII SVSM Home colourway; it features a white upper with SVSM green on the Flywire panels and Air Max Unit, with green speckling on the white portion of the midsole. On in inner achilles, “IRISH” is printed in bold letters; that area of the LeBron VII seems to be the Nike iD-able area of the shoe; we’ve seen other PE logos in the same spot, like in the CTK LeBron VII. The overall colourway of the SVSM Home PE are similar to the More Than A Game LeBron VII, but still two different shoes nonetheless. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more pictures and LeBron VII  release info, and you should anticipate an Away colourway as well. via LRJ23.

A new Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star High has hit retail and this pair takes cues from some pairs that were released last year at JD Sports. The team over at Converse decided to go with a sweatshirt material on the entire upper of the shoe and even on the lining of the shoe. This gives the shoe a whole new look as it looks and feels as if you are wearing a fleece, only on your foot. The color of the sweatshirt material is a classic Heather Grey color and the Converse signature White with Red trim is kept in tact on the midsole and outsole of the shoe. You can pick these up now at select Converse retailers including sneakersnstuff.

The Jordan CP3.III was released a bunch of Hornets-friendly colourways, but here is an all-black pair – another normality of Jordan Brand colourways. This new colourway of the CP3.III features black patent on the mudguard with contrasting white stitching, with a nubuck upper. My personal favorite feature would be the “Oreo” speckling on the midsole. Jordan Brand originally set the release date of this all-black CP3.III for some time in March, but apparently Finish Line reached the finish line first. If you plan on purchasing these at Finish Line, continue reading for a coupon code that could save you some nice cash.

After being easily defeated in 2007 and missing out in both ’08 and ’09, LeBron James will be on a Finals mission come 2010 NBA Postseason time. If LeBron wants a change in fortune in June, perhaps a change of some sort would be welcome. Over the last three seasons, LeBron James wore the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier line during the Playoffs, but this season, the Nike LeBron VII P.S. Playoff Pack will take its place. Here’s is the third and latest part of the POP, combining a black patent leather mudguard and swoosh and a white upper, combined with a clear “ice” sole. While the first Black colourway we showed you resembled the Space Jam XI, this new colourway can easily be compared to another popular model; the Air Jordan XI Concord or the DMP Air Jordan XI. Hopefully the Nike Air Max LeBron VII P.S. will change LeBron’s fortunes for the better. via NikeLeBron.

Sneakerheads love the vulcanized sole for its ability to emanate a casual look with ease. Nike took this a step further and used it on some of their classic models basketball models and released the Nike Auto Force 180 and the Nike Auto Flight High, which features the v-sole on its respective uppers. But the vulcanized sole is synonymous with skater-shoes, so Nike SB slapped it on a Nike SB P-Rod 2 upper and introduced the P-Rod 2.5, which we previewed not too long ago. Check out this upcoming colourway of the Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 in a grey/blue/red colourway, which looks like an LA Dodgers Away color combo. These are available  now via in-store purchase at Premier.

We can say that Nike’s vintage treatment of their retro models has seen mixed reviews. Many didn’t like the pre-yellowed midsole or dirtied laces on the upcoming Air Jordan 1 KO, but it seemed to work well with shoes like the Nike Vandal High Nylon. Here’s another oldie-but-goodie, the Nike Tennis Classic AC in two old-school colourways. Both the light grey and the brown give a Members Only vibe and the vintage look seems completed by the cured midsole and laces. Both pairs are available now via overseas purchase at atmos.

Another installment to the Try-On series, Nike adds one of its most staple footwear- the Air Max 1.  This selection will fit the motif of the other Try-On’s, rocking a tonal light grey on soft suede and mesh.  However Nike decided to add an extra elements, in the form of speckle on underlay and heel tab and 3M reflective on the swoosh.  Interesting that Nike went this route, not only breaking the style of the capsule, but also contradicting the concept that they are supposed to resemble the original AM1′s that one would try on during a Nike iD session.  Nonetheless a very fresh pair that will be available at 21 Mercer on Wednesday, Feb 17th.
