The Nike Sweet Classic High Canvas has somewhat of an innocent name; the words sweet and classic on a shoe made up of canvas surely invokes patriotism of the 50s. On the final day of March, Sneaker News gave you the heads up on a new graphics option on Nike iD that allowed curious customizers the chance to not only pick and choose the colors, but implement a country-specific graphic on the upper. USA was an expected choice, and this colorway of the Nike Sweet Classic High Canvas USA is as patriotic as you can get. The upper is mix of beige and shimmering white with a proud USA patch of red, white, and blue on the tongue. Nike iD lets you pick your colors but if you’re choosing USA, you can’t beat this colorway. via Dunk.

At this point, if you’re still thinking of Nike 6.0 as SB’s red-headed stepchild, we’d suggest you check your ego. Why be so stubborn when the simple fact is, Nike 6.0 is killin it in 2010, and here’s more proof. The Nike 6.0 Dunk Low SE is a lifestyle-oriented canvas and vulc-soled take on one of the all-time giants of athletic footwear. They’re probably not suitable for intense skating, but a black-on-grey colorway ensures you have an anchor for literally any outfit you could come up with. Grab a pair today from NikeStore.

Retro-inspired chukkas seem to work well with canvas, don’t they? Check out this latest colorway of the Nike Toki in a canvas upper; most of the previous releases have been either suede or leather, so it was about time canvas made another appearance on this lifestyle-driven casual shoe. It’s definitely not the first time canvas was used on the Nike Toki but it’s nice to see the material being used in the Toki rotation. A similar colorway of the Toki in light grey and blue was released in January, but this pair features a slightly different shade and the aforementioned canvas material. You can pick up a pair over at wellgosh.

“Hold on tight, don’t let go.” That’s the literal interpretation of “Kinbe Pa Lagé”, a phrase we saw on Nike Basketball’s Haiti Relief tee back in February. There’s been a bunch of junk in the news since then, and you may have forgotten that large parts of the nation still need to be rebuilt. With that in mind, here’s the Nike Basketball Kinbe Pa Lage/Help Haiti PE Pack of Zoom Kobe Vs and the above pictured Cradle Rock Low. The latter is Steve Nash’s signature shoe, and since he’s always doing *something* thoughtful, these were a perfect choice. With a white/royal blue base, these add a crayon-colored overlay that could just as easily have been a Doernbecher collab, save the obvious Hatian references. As for the ZKV, they get the same overlay atop a red/black base, and you’ll see that after the jump. Intended as a charitable act, these will probably hit retail to drum up some Help Haiti funds, but stick with Sneaker News for updates. via NT

Kobe, LeBron, and KD is a trio of names that you will hear together for a long time coming. Durant has established himself as the league’s elite, joining the “elder” statesmen in a group the could include one or two more players. All three players switched uniform colors for Game 3, and that meant different colorways of their signature Nike shoes. Kobe Bryant wore his Nike Zoom Kobe V POP, while LeBron wore the LeBron VII P.S. in White/Navy. Rounding out the trio of the Nike endorsees was Kevin Durant and his Nike KD2 Home PE. Durant pulled off his first ever Playoff victory with an astounding 29-and-19 (at Kobe’s cost), while LeBron got a reality check as his Cavs lost on the road. Check out the great collection of images after the jump. via Yahoo!.

Yesterday night Sneaker News dropped an exclusive teaser of an upcoming Air Jordan IX that flew under the radar and was not previewed in Jordan Brand catalogs or look-sees. Here’s a first look of this Air Jordan IX in a white patent leather upper, citrus trim on the logo, and a Deep Forest outsole. A quick glance and your eyes may fool you: the outsole is in fact a dark shade of green (Seattle Sonics PE?). Contrast stitching is also evident on the upper, along with citrus laces dotted with JORDAN typefont – a true first for an Air Jordan Legacy silhouette. As of now, just 2,000 pairs are believed to have been produced, which could probably make these Air Jordan IX a Quickstrike release. Sneaker News brought you a first look at this upcoming Air Jordan IX so be assured we will update you with all the necessary info. Continue reading for a detailed look and chime in with your opinions. via MS.

Last night was the LA premiere of a skateboarding documentary that had been circulated on videotape for the last decade. Nike SB and Hurley sponsored the Dirty Money premiere last night at the Montalbon, where SB revealed an upcoming Brazil-only release. The Dirty Money x Nike SB Blazer High and Dunk Mid are about as different as two very similar designs can get. Both of them feature a ‘sectioned’ look that hearkens back to old school aesthetics, including the sockliners, tongue tags and laces. Where they diverge, though, is color: the Dunks are a tonal purple while the Blazers go heavy on the white/grey/black plus a little orange. Get your Portugese pocket dictionaries ready, cos these joints will drop as a Brazil exclusive on May 10th. Check out some more images and a trailer for the film, all after the jump. via NSB//SneakersBR

Yesterday’s Sneaker News reported a new colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite One which was dubbed the “Cough Drop”. What will these Penny 3s be called? How about “The Shining”, for the red foamposite upper resembling that creepy scene with the blood gushing out of the elevators? This White/Varsity Red colorway is a newcomer to the Air Max + Foamposite Nike Air Penny III but we’ve seen red make its way on Pennys before. These were already available on Nikestore a few days ago but can be now found at retail stores such as Foot Locker, or pick up a pair on eBay.

“Don’t be mad cos you can’t do what I can, like when Jordan went up, took that shot and switched hands,” especially since you can take this opportunity to look just like him. ‘The Move’ as it’s now known, was executed in the OG black/infrared Air Jordan VI, a shoe we haven’t seen retroed in so long, the last ones said ‘Nike AIR’ (2000, to be exact). Not only is the Infrared AJVI back, *both* of them are! The Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack should be called a ‘package’, since both the white and black infrared Sixes are coming to you this summer in a single box. Check out a bunch of new images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the release date (expected June 2010). via SH

We’re sure that if Mariah Carey were spotted wearing these kicks there’ probably be a lot more people reading this story, however that’s not the case and instead it’s her husband, Nick Cannon, who was spotted wearing the Air Jordan III Retro from the 25th Anniversary Collection in all White and Metallic Silver. Cannon put on these crispy White Jordan’s when he along with Pepsi, Co. and Feeding America came together to help feed the homeless.
