When we first heard of LeBron VII Lows, we didn’t expect to see pairs without the unprecedented Flywire element. But it seems a lot of our followers received it with open arms. Strong design, but for the most part, we’ve only seen cliche colorways. We recently showed an interesting sample that played upon reptilian skin and an ACG-like colorway. Now here’s something that might be more up your alley. Going with an all-black look, this LeBron VII Low sample features what looks to be pretty high-quality leather and a croc skin for the mudguard. Let us know what you think if these did in fact release. Collectors and luck size 9′s can cop this sample on eBay thanks to cigar0330.

How could the massive Nike Air Attack Pack get any bigger? Simple: just add in the newest of all Swoosh runners in neck-breaking colorways. Here are the Nike Air Max+ 2010s from the Air Attack Pack, a collection that straddles the line dividing the previous colorways we saw. On one hand, you’ve got 4 black pairs with a single accent shade, similar to the AM2009s in this pack, and on the other, an all-yellow 2010 with shades of the monotonal Air Max 1s. With Air Max 90s on the way later this summer, it’s safe to say that 2010 will be remembered for this sprawling collection. Take a look at some detailed pictures after the jump and stick with Sneaker News in case there are even more!

The monthly Eastbay catalog was THE choice of reading material back in the 90s; we’ve all surveyed each page, examining each pair and memorizing MSRPs and comparing colorways. But check out this Eastbay catalog from 1987, featuring shoes that released during one of the most memorable years of the footwear game. You can see that not much has changed with Eastbay’s page layout (wish we could say the same about the prices), and these scans of an ’87 catalog will reveal some original silhouettes that have reached legendary status. You’ll notice the Nike Air Trainer 1, Nike Air Max 1, Air Jordan II, adidas Forum Mid, and the Converse Weapon – all of which are as relevant as they come. This a truly a nostalgic treat, so check out what Eastbay was like 23 years ago by reading on.

It’s an even-numbered year, so they’re probably not going to win the title, but the San Antonio Spurs charged into the playoffs with that veteran knowledge of when to really play hard. Their new swingman Richard Jefferson knows a thing or two about the postseason as well, having lost three NBA Finals with New Jersey, including 2003 versus you-know-who. Now that RJ’s a Spur, though, he’s gotta look the part, and that’s where these Nike Air Max Hyperize PEs come in. Both are done in the typically-subdued Spurs style, with a mostly black pair for away games and white joints for their AT&T Center games. Check out shots of both pairs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Playoffs Player Exclusive sneakers. via Nike BB

Just be careful not to draw outside the lines, and you should be straight. Check out what else is in store in The Sneaker Coloring Book, and pick up a book this May from Laurence King Publishing. via SF.

Though it didn’t make it as far as another infamous SB Dunk during our March Madness tourney, Diamond Supply Co.’s design for Nike SB is undoubtedly one of the all-time favorites. Better known as the Tiffany’s, the colorway and material application is irresistible, leaving many still yearning. It looks like the dudes at DSC might have us salivating for more as Nick Tershay of Diamond foreshadows big things to come via his Twitter. We’re anxious to see how these upcoming collabs will stand up to the classic which they have established. Stay tuned for further info.

Despite Utah losing forward/center Mehmet Okur for the rest of the year, Carmelo Anthony’s 32 points weren’t enough to lead the Denver Nuggets to victory against the Jazz last night. It’s a shame too, considering Melo brought out one of his best PEs all year with an elephant-printed Air Jordan Melo M6 Future Sole. This edition was slightly different than his Game 1 kicks, opting for an all white base and select Uni blue and gold hits. Nuggets-Jazz is suddenly far more of a series than Memo’s injury and Game 1 as a whole had us thinking, so there’s sure to be more Carmelo Anthony Air Jordan Player Exclusives on the way and you know Sneaker News will be the first to show you. via Yahoo!

“It’s [still] alive!” The Air Jordan Force Fusion series had its fair share of detractors, but when you looked out on the streets, it was clear dudes were actually buying these joints. Overall Fusion production has slowed over the past few seasons, but the project is clearly not dead, as evidenced by this new Air Jordan Force V in the unmistakable ‘Grape’ colorup. All the stuff you’d expect is here: white leather upper, aqua and purple accents and a translucent outsole. If the ‘Grape’ Spizikes weren’t your bag or you’ve just gotta have more, these AJF5s will hit Jordan Brand retailers like Foot Locker on July 17th.

Here’s a metaphorical look at what the NBA wanted to do to the Air Jordan 1 in 1984. This new Air Jordan Alpha 1 is completely blacked out with a metallic silver ‘Wings’ logo and icey translucent outsole. Extending the metaphor, the fines from Commissioner Stern’s office only served to shine a brighter spotlight on the now infamous shoe, kinda like how the reflective 3M ‘overlay’ sections on these joints will stand out in the street. Convoluted analogies aside, this is an immortal design done in a no-nonsense colorway plus modern tech elements for a shoe as true to the game as you could possibly be. These are available now at FinishLine or you can grab yours today on eBay.

Yo, pass that sh…oe. The inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk High Skunks is no mystery and Maven VT clearly isn’t shying away from the cannibis connection. Check out their interesting window display, specially constructed for the release of the Nike SB Dunk High Skunks. You can see the skunky Dunks sprouting from plants, but the actual shoes will be rolled up paper and thrown in a box. Those who stopped by the pick up a pair most likely swung by their local 7/11 for some snacks (going to shoe releases works up an appetite). Check out the rest of the window display after the jump; this creative set-up is worth a second look.
