One shoe wasn’t enough to celebrate one of the modern classics of sneaker commercials, so Nike bundled together the Hyperdunk and Zoom Kobe V for the Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin Pack. The gunmetal grey and burgundy look reminds you of the Aston Martin DB9 Kobe ‘jumped’ over in the initial Hyperdunk spot, and if their hot aesthetics weren’t enough, there’s only 500 of these babies in the world! German retailer Kickz.com will have them tomorrow, Saturday, March 20th at 11am local, so call up your Euro-exclusive connects and/or stick with Sneaker News for info on a stateside release.

Tomorrow’s release of the Air Jordan VI Oreo will be a welcome interruption to what’s been a relatively subdued month of March in terms of releases. This latest Air Jordan VI release is all about ‘cookies n’ cream’, meaning a contrast in tastes and textures. The upper is constructed of both leather and nubuck, composed of two colors that define the word “opposite” better than anything else. The Oreo VI will be available tomorrow at select Nike retailers like Extra Butter, or grab a pair now from eBay.

Certain footwear brands have some connections with particular individuals/establishments that have resulted in some nice collaborative productions. Nike has Futura. adidas has Kazuki. New Balance has…all of Europe. This new New Balance collaboration is just the latest of an extensive history of partnerships New Balance has cultivated over the years, and only a select number of these great colorways of classic NB models hit our side of the globe. Check out the Size? x New Balance 577 in two great colorways and materials; the green pair features a plaid inner lining while the black variety features quilted stitching on the upper and a yellow trim. Both pairs feature a special tongue-tag with “577″ in roman numerals (see, it does come in handy). Both pairs should hit Size? soon. via f5tofresh.

One-fourth of this year is almost behind us, with April and its seasonal showers right around the corner, so check out the four new SBs that Nike has in store for us. Two great colorways of the Nike SB Blazer arrives, with one in a matte silver upper with a textured obsidian swoosh and red NIKE print on the heel, and another black colorway that are similar to the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Fog’. Speaking of Dunks, a Dunk Low in another patriotic red-white-blue colorway is expected, with a Dark Army SB Classic releasing alongside. The aforementioned April 2010 SB releases are available early at Flatspot.

LeBron James can smell the NBA Finals. It’s his last contract season with the Cavs and he wants – scratch that – NEEDS to come out on top from the Eastern Conference. To do that, LeBron will wear the Nike Air Max LeBron VII P.S., opting for a new design and shedding the LeBron Zoom Soldier tradition. While these haven’t seen a confirmed stateside release (although we can guess these will come available around NBA Playoff time), Nike Harajuku in Japan is set to release both the black and white colorways on March 20th. Could this be a sign that the LeBron P.S. will become available sooner? via NikeHarajuku.

For a 71-year old guy, Rod Laver sure does move fast. We just saw previews of the newly meshed-out adidas Originals Rod Laver Vintage yesterday, and they’ve already popped up at retail. The first pair to hit is white/off-white with touches of green in just the right spots. If you’re going for a clean look this summer, there might not be anything that can top these, and you can get yours from SneakersNStuff.

DJ Clark Kent has made a nice size-13 imprint in the sneaker culture with his DJCK colorway on some classic Nikes. The 112 Pack that released a two years back showcased the now trademark combination of black, neon green, elephant print, and 3M that was absolutely “bananas” (for lack of more appropriate word). Check out the DJ Clark Kent Air Max LeBron VII that features the same 112 treament; 3M outline of the Flywire panel, a neon green full-length Air Unit, elephant print on the ankle, and trail-inspired laces tie up the loose ends. Kinda remind of you of the LeBron VII Dunkman, doesn’t it? There’s no word on a release yet, but continue reading for a refresher of the last 112 pack and let us know; which 112 release is king? via DJCK.

Introducing the reversible coat of sneakers: the new adidas Transform Pack. Both of the shoes in this duo allow you to radically change their look by taking off some parts to reveal a similar, yet different look. With the Stan Smith midtops, they come in off the streets wearing all black leather, but you can zipper off the upper to reveal a lowtop Stan Smith 80s. Not just a different color, but practically a whole different shoe!
There’s also a pair of Superstar II shell-toes, which are a bit subtler in their change. Instead of the entire upper, these just let you un-velcro the grey tongue to reveal an aqua that matches the laces and sockliner. Buy one, get two, buy two, get four; it’s a pretty awesome deal, complete with good style from Extra Butter.

In his first Nike Retro at-bat, ‘The Kid’ touched ‘em all with a Nike Air Griffey Max that drew rave reviews and made it on the Sneaker News Top 30 Sneakers of 2009. A year later, Ken Griffey Jr. will take another swing with the retro of the Nike Air Griffey Max GD II in a black/red colorway. Griffey and his original Swingman logo don the tongue-tag and heel of the black leather-uppered baseball shoe that’ll probably hit the streets more than the first-base line. The Nike Air Griffey Max GD II will step out of the batter’s box and hit Foot Locker and other Nike retailers in April 2010. via FLUL.

Deion Sanders and Penny Hardaway were the big names for Nike in the 90′s, and surely enough, we all had a pair of Pennys or Deion’s Diamond Turf Trainers. Paying homage to two of LeBron James childhood idols, the LeBron VII was fashioned in two great colorways, making up the Nike Air Max LeBron VII Heroes Pack. Penny’s pair features the trademark crackled swoosh from the Air Max Penny while Primetime’s pair features a gaudier, spotlight stealing patent leather red with gold accents. Like Deion returning an INT for a TD or Penny driving to the hole, both pairs will be out of our reach as the LeBron VII Heroes Pack will not see a public release. via TSG.
