Is this upcoming Nike SB Dunk under the Witness Protection Program? First off, the “Chirping Bird” name has been changed; this upcoming Quickstrike has been renamed to Larry Perkins, the name of the skater that inspired the colorway. Secondly, the Larry Perkins Nike SB Dunk underwent a transplant as the Chirping Bird mechanism as been replaced by one that makes telephone ringing sounds, as Larry Perkins was known to be dialing up other skate-pros and magazines. The overall design, colorway, and material use remains, but the identity has seen a vast alteration. These are expected to drop on March 20th at select Nike SB retailers, so have your local Nike SB spot on speed dial and lock down your pair. via Martini.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new Nike Pegasus 89 hit retailers, but this pair was worth the wait.  They go with the neutral white/grey/black trio so an electric blue comes in on the laces and ankle appears extra-bright.  Add in just a couple touches of pink and you’ve got that perfect early-90s-but-now look that Nike has perfected of late.  Grab a pair for yourself from JD Sports.

DC Shoes LIFE Collection is anchored by the appropriately named Admiral hightop.  It’s been a staple for the past couple years, so DC has decided to add a little twist.  Set to be unveiled at a public event at ProbusNYC, the DC Shoes Admiral Sport will debut in its ‘Probot’ pack with the new ankle strap.  That’s probably the first thing you’ll notice, but a closer look reveals a revamped silhouette that’s all at once brand new and totally beholden to the Admiral.  If you’re in the area, head over to Probus tomorrow, Thursday, March 18th at 7pm.

Here’s the latest for two guys that are as blessed as any athletes we’ve ever seen, at least in terms of footwear.  Jordan Brand keeps shooting guards Ray Allen and Joe Johnson in the freshest kicks, so it’s not a huge surprise to see their Air Jordan Icons PEs hit retail.  Both pairs of Icons are done in glossy patent leather, with Ray’s going the green route we saw a couple weeks back and JJ’s looking an awful lot like Gerald Wallace’s Dunk Contest PE.  You’d probably want to be more successful than GW3 was on that fateful night, so get a plan in order to hit House of Hoops this Saturday when both pairs drop.

When you think “full carbon fiber basketball shoes”, you might think of the Nike Air Flightposite Carbon Fiber that fetches over $1,000 on the open market. Check out this Lakers colorwayed Nike Hypermax 2010 which features full carbon fiber and flywire on the upper with a basketball-specific 360 Air Unit. If your saw our 2010 Nike Basketball Sample Preview, you might’ve seen the full carbon-fiber Hypermax but in a different colorway, but these days the Lakers uni seems to be the color palette of choice for Nike basketball. Check out the pics after the jump and grap a size 9 over at Osneaker.

The Air Jordan Collezione Countdown Packs that released over the last two years had Jordan-heads going hog-wild over their favorite retro released drawn up in OG colorways.

The Nike SFB Boot is footwear designed with the battlefield in mind but destined for the streets. Created by Hiroshi Fujiwara (which should not come as a surprise given the SFB’s radical design), the kevlar-equipped Free-soled urban boot required no effort in being recognized as the most bizarre and head-turning shoe of 2009. However the newly-released Mid version of the Nike SFB is surely more street-ready than its super-high predecessor; in fact the overall design and silhouette is very similar to the Nike ACG Wildedge and other ACG/Mowabb releases from the earlier part of this decade. via FRESHNESS.

Another electric colorway of the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High comes our way; this new pair of the Air Force 1 High for women features a simple color-construction of a black upper and secondary trim of neon green. You might’ve seen this colorway not too long ago, as Sneaker News reported a Nike WMNS Dunk Low using the same color combo in reversed fashion. It’s also the colorway of a Nike Dunk Low SB that took on the same colorblocking as the Jordan Pack SB Dunk, but it was never released, much to the disappointed of SB fans. This latest colorway of the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 have started to hit Nike retailers soon, so check out your local spots.

It’s only a matter of time before warm weather is the norm and the grills come out.  Last summer saw two Nike Dunk Highs that were covered in gingham checks, but this new pair goes a different route.  They’re certainly less tablecloth-y with a black denim overlay that looks an awful lot like the Born in the USA Dunk High SB that was revealed today.  You don’t have to wait till July 4th to celebrate; these just hit Nike Sportswear retailers like Finish Line.

If you had to guess which one of these is a WMNS release, it’s a no-brainer right?  A setup line like that might have you thinking it’s a trick, but only kinda.  It’s not that they’re switched, but rather, the grey and pink Nike Twilight Runner EU is also made for men.  They come in the same sizes as the LIVESTRONG-like pair, so it’s nice to find a well-designed shoe with pink accents that you don’t have to 1.5-UP on.  Keep reading for more pics, and if you like what you see, grab one or both pairs today from SneakersNStuff.

Even though they may have grown into ‘full’ sizes since we last saw a pair like this, the Nike Vandal High Supreme GS will satisfy your little sneakerhead who missed out on the bigger sizes from 2008.  Aside from the midsole, these are almost identical to that previous pair, adding a studded texture/pattern to the entire hindfoot, side-to-side around the heel.  Break out the gel and get your lil sneakerhead’s faux-hawk ready, cos these just hit retailers like Shaolin8 on eBay.
