This upcoming Air Jordan Spiz’ike has caused a moderate level of controversy largely due to its nickname being a misnomer. The “Grape” moniker has stuck with this pair ever since pictures first leaked, but as you can see, there really isn’t anything “Grape” about it. Nonetheless, this Spiz’ike, recently worn by Spike Lee in Knicks game, is worth a second look; it features the classic grey/black elephant print and a perforated upper – a design cue that seems to have been the deciding factor for some of our readers. Check out these detailed images and get ready for these to drop in April. via Dunk.

The Nike Air Trainer SC continues its push throughout 2010 with this new colorway of the Nike Trainer SC in white, blue, and black. Although the blue in this new pair is just a shade darker than the royal blue colorway that was an original release and a retro in 1998, it still maintains the retro look that many older Nike heads warm their hearts to. In fact, for sneakerheads with particular tastes, the Trainer SC in the Auburn colorway might have been the most anticipated retro of 2009 (even ahead of the Space Jam Air Jordan XI). This latest colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC is available from JBseller on eBay.

While Los Angeles is the Californian city known for celebrity sightings, it’s Frisco-based Huf that will be star-studded come Fall 2010. Huf will make available the Star Pack (showcased in our Huf Footwear Preview) which features three of their footwear models – the Hupper, Choice, and Geniune – in simple colorways made unique by a patriotic treatment of stars and the American flag. Each pair features a line of stars circulating around the upper portion of the midsole, with the stars-and-stripes visible on the bottom sole. The Huf Star Pack will be available in Fall 2010, so stay tuned. via glltn.

How can you possibly keep cool with a heat wave in the Jordan Brand summer forecast? Kicking off the first month of summer, Jordan Brand plans to hit us with a barrage of heat that will have us melting into puddles of human goo. The first weekend of June brings the Air Jordan Spiz’ike Stealth with the Air Jordan VI (6) White/Varsity Red following just seven days later. JB’s latest project of Air Jordan 1s infused with other models continues with the AJ1 inspired by the XX (the Jordan model, not the band). With the Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack also rumored to release month, June just might be too hot to handle. For a full list of what’s to come in June, don’t forget to continue reading.

Only in the NBA’s stacked Western Conference could a team be at .535 in late March and have no shot of making the playoffs. Despite the ultra competitive West, Z-Bo and Rudy Gay have done unexpectedly well in breathing some life back into Memphis’ basketball scene. If it’s the shoes, then it’s these Nike Huarache 2010 PEs that Rudy wears at the FedEx Forum. The Huarache 2010′s design means that all they had to do was swap out the black overlay from Gay’s Away PE and use white to make a perfect look for home. via Nike Basketball

To start off its second quarter of 2010, Jordan Brand will release a number of Team Jordans and a special colorway of the Air Jordan 1 for April 2010. The Air Jordan 1 Phat Marine Blue will hit stores, as will the Classic Air Jordan Icons colorways of white/blue and white/black. JB’s latest hybrid, the Jordan Accolades Premier, will make its official debut as well, in white/cement and black laser. For the fans of Team Jordan shoes from the earlier part of the decade, check out the Jordan TE II Advance, which looks like an updated version of the surprisingly popular Jordan Elite.

The Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke allows clients to choose their own colors and materials to create a pair of Forces with a personal memento as an inspiration. This latest Bespoke, done by Fran Marchello, flaunts the Bespoke’s ability to create the most eclectic of designs. Marchello’s pair features patent leather, suede, and premium leather – a combination that isn’t in abundance – in a colorway taken after the lovable Pokemon Pikachu. Check out the images after the jump and let us know where this Bespoke ranks against the previous productions.

LeBron’s contract extension with Nike was yesterday’s biggest sneaker story, but fans of Kobe’s kicks had no need to worry about the Black Mamba jumping ship, as he already signed a contract extension with the Beaverton boys three years ago. Bron and Kobe are easily 1 and 2 in the sneaker game and in the NBA, which has boded well for Nike over the last few years. It gives Nike the opportunity to create extra colorways for their playoff pursuits, like the Nike Zoom Kobe V POP, which features a quintessential Lakers colorway with a graphic of pyramidal tessellations on the upper. Check out these new detailed pics after the jump; the Zoom Kobe V POP is now available at Dunk.

Here come two new colorways of the almost one-piece Nike Air Royal Mid VT, and as long as there are more flavors of Laffy Taffy to emulate, we’ll continue to welcome them. Some of the other pairs of VTs and the Macaroon Pack of Air Royalty Mids looked like pastries or perhaps a cake, but these new joints go with a candylicious take on the Toronto Raptors palette. You can get either purple or red, plus the black, white and sea green pairs that just dropped at Nike Sportswear in New York.
