Last year, Nike Basketball released a Playoff Pack that went against the very spirit of some of its most successful forebears. It was Michael Jordan’s own Bulls who started the all-black playoff look, so seeing mostly white POP releases caused some commotion. This year, it’s a little bit closer to what the Swoosh did at this year’s NBA All Star Game: adding a texture as the common theme. On the POP releases like this Nike Zoom Kobe V, we’re looking at a triangle grid that adds an interesting touch to the yellow and purple forefoot sections. We’ve got about a month till the NBA Playoffs begin, so stick with Sneaker News for what looks to be a whole series of geometrically-infused kicks from Nike Basketball. via Kinetics

We saw several different shoes calling themselves the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier IV, but it turned out that the very first sample was the base for an upcoming retail release. Proof that all sneakers go through design changes, the new Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador III. In the photos after the jump, you’ll see how the sample Ambassador IIIs featured a smoother mudguard as compared to the release version that sees a cutout.
One particularly curious note in these images: the heel looks like your classic Air Max cushion, but each Ambassador thusfar has been Zoom Air-equipped (they’re also historically an Asia exclusive). Then again, that was true of the flagship LeBron James Nikes until this year, so you’ll have to check back with Sneaker News for updates. via LRJ23

Four pure white-on-white Air Jordan Retros are set to hit US retail next Saturday, March 27th. In advance of that date, we’ve seen these entrants from the Air Jordan 25th Anniversary collection drop in Mexico and Japan, but now we’re ready for a stateside drop. Sorta. Maybe it’s cos kids are notoriously impatient and all the ‘Are they out yet?” from the backseat, but Air Jordans III, IV and IX just popped up in GS sizes online. Act fast to grab a pair for your favorite little sneakerhead: all-white AJIIIs, IVs and IXs are available now from NikeStore.

Dwyane Wade has become a makeshift door-to-door (or better yet, “court-to-court”) salesman peddling the Air Jordan 2010. The “peephole” on the upper resulted in mixed reviews but here’s an instance in which the peephole plays a big role; last week, we showed you a new colorway of the Air Jordan 2010 that Wade wore in game, but here’s a better, updated look to that same pair. The shoes are the same but the color of the socks he wore were different, which give the shoes a completely different look. Check out the images after the jump to get a better look at this new colorway. via Yahoo!.

Need a new Nike Dunk Low? How about one with more different materials than colors? The latest Nike 6.0 Dunk Low is pretty standard fare from afar: just looks like black on white with green hits. Zoom in and you’ll notice that the black overlay sections are a sort of reptile’d suede, plus a ballistic nylon for the Swooshes. Summer’s coming up, so there’s seersucker on the eye plackets and a mesh tongue to keep you nice and cool. Grab a pair from Nike Six retailers including NikeStore.

Day One and already March Madness has put the viewing public in an absolute craze. Murray State beat 5th seed Vanderbilt on a last-second tip-in while Big East contender Georgetown fell to Ohio. Over the last week or so, we’ve been reporting college colorways of the Nike Hyperdunk to keep our readers up to date on Tournament kicks, but check out this new colorway of the Nike Air Max Hyperize in black-blue and take note of the tongue label; it looks like this Duke University colorway is ready to cut down some nets. They’re a bonafide Championship contender so perhaps the tongue graphic is a sign of things to come. Purchase a pair of these over at Finishline, and don’t forget to continue reading for a coupon code that’ll save you some dough on any Finishline purchase.

Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans look to get back to the NCAA title game and begin their quest today against New Mexico State. NM State is an Under Armour school, but Sparty rolls with the Swoosh. Their Nike Hyperdunk PE follows the same formula we’ve seen from several other Nike Basketball schools: school colors framing a nice gradient on the Flywire-eqiupped side panels. Check out the big ‘S’ on the tongue and more shots after the jump.

The latest of the Nike Dunk High with branded Zoom is the white, sea green, and blue colorway. The colorway itself might seem familiar, as it was seen on a Nike Air Max 90 from 2006 that was unfortunately overshadowed by the re-release of the Infrared Air Max 90 (kudos to you if you remember that release). This Nike Dunk High Zoom is set to release at Nike retailers soon, so keep your ears to the ground! via Colmilludo.

With Nike Sportswear expanding its classic basketball offerings beyond the venerable Dunk-AF1-Blazer trio, there are more ways to get that lifestyle sneaker look than ever before. In fact, if you didn’t know any better (or read the name), the Nike Dynasty 81 High could pass for a brand new low-key look. Three new colorways just rolled out, each with a simple colorblocking pattern that’ll anchor your wardrobe without any distractions. Grab one, two or all three from NikeStore today.
