“At the age of 27 . . . with 13 years of hard-work and dedication behind him,” Ronnie Fieg probably has some tricks still hidden up his sleeves. As with the Gel Lyte III sample we showed you last summer, this Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT Quick in New York Knicks/Mets colors will never see the light of day on a retail shelf. You’ll probably never be able to get a pair, nor will you own a copy of the upcoming Ronnie Feig collaboration book. That’s cos the upcoming leather-bound book will only see 30 copies printed for friends and family. It’s stuffed with hot samples like these along with the rest of Ronnie’s work, and you can see more angles of the GT Quicks after the jump.

The NBA Season is a grueling 82 games but Jason Petrie, the designer behind the most successful Nike LeBron shoe to date, had a special task at hand considering LeBron James could play up to 110 games. The Nike LeBron VII P.S. was designed specfically for LeBron’s ‘second’ season, which could in fact stretch out to 28 games, so it was an interesting challenge to create a new shoe within a shoe – an “alternate” without straying too far from the overall design of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII.
LeBron is the second coming but even he will say that without a championship, he’ll fall short of the glory of Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, and any other dynasty-creating legend of NBA history – so Jason Petrie and crew designed the LeBron P.S. to best suit King James’ battle schemes for the 2010 postseason. For anyone who is a LeBron fan, is interested in Nike technology, has true aspirations in the shoe-design game, or calls himself a true sneakerhead, this video is a must-watch. Continue reading for the full video and pics and feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

The Nike Sportswear Six Collection featured some breakaway releases that dropped months ahead of the 2010 World Cup. We’ve still got a ways to go before the opening kick, so luckily, there’s still about half of this hot NSW gear and sneakers to satisfy. Pictured above is the Mr. Cartoon x Nike Footscape Freemotion for the good ol’ US-and-A. Its white-on-black design isn’t exactly consistent with the Nike USA Olympic palette of red, white, (navy) blue and gold, but this high contrast design is perfectly suited for today’s streetwear game. This Mister Cartoon Quickstrike should hit NSW retailers shortly, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Tenisfuki

By now we’ve detailed almost ever colorway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, from the most general of releases to the leave-you-disappointed unreleased samples. The LeBron VII that got the least amount of coverage was the CavFanatic Air Max LeBron VII that King James wore in early January. Featuring a deep crimson and yellow to match the CavFanatic Night alternate jersey, the CavFanatic LeBron VII was a certified boon as the Cavs defeated their opponents on that special night with ease. Check out these images after the jump and let us know if you’re a fanatic of this colorway. via Nike Basketball.

On Wednesday Sneakers News reported concrete release information regarding the upcoming Air Jordan IX (9) Citrus. Our Jordan-head reader response was widely positive (i.e. “I’m lovin’ it like a fat kid at McDonalds”) so here’s another batch of great detailed images for those who are on the fence. Some Jordan purists may scoff at the lack of red infusion and use of the Citrus yellow but as we mentioned previously, the Air Jordan XIII Low Maize colorways were big hits when they dropped in Summer 2005. Continue on for another look at the Air Jordan IX Citrus Retro and let us know if these are a “go” for you. via MS.

What do Raheem Devaughn and Jay-Z have in common? They might share the same celebrity stylist by the looks of their footwear selection over the past couple of months. Raheem Devaughn was seen rocking these Nike Dunk Highs from the Spring 2009 Dunk ACG pack at the end of February during the Moët & Chandon Sunday Brunch, and just this week, as Jay-Z was leaving the popular Bar Pitti in New York City, he was spotted turning down a kid’s attempt to sell him M&M’s while wearing a pair of the same ACG Dunk Highs that feature the signature Nike safari print. via CONCRETELOOP

The Air Jordan Campus Chukka was introduced last summer as part of Jordan Brand’s dabbling in the off-the-court footwear game. Despite the Campus name, the design of the shoe shows the JB is aiming for the older crowd whose sneaker game has transferred from Jays and Air Maxes to lifestyle fits and finishes. This newest colorway of the Jordan Campus Chukka features light bone and medium grey to go with a pair of dark-washed jeans or some cargo pants. It sure is a welcome respite to all the Air Jordan retros, so check out select Jordan Brand retailers near you because these just dropped at Extra Butter.

The evolution of the Nike shoebox has moved step-by-step with the direction of Nike footwear, with each box tied to a particular era of Nike; the current brown, minimalistic box covered in Nike logos is used for Nike Sportswear, and you might remember the silver box introduced to Nike SB as it turned its own corner. Long lost but not forgotten is the orange and grey box that is synonymous with Nike’s cross-training revolution of the 80s. The Nike Trainer 1 that debuted in 1987 came housed in the box that appears as if it were inspired by a road construction sign.
Releasing in limited numbers is the re-designed Nike Trainer 1 in a special colorway taking after the vintage Nike box; it features an orange upper constructed with suede, nubuck, and ballistic mesh with a midsole striped in grey – a reverse colorization of the original box – all housed in a replica of the vintage package. This newbie-turned-throwback will release today at Champs, Eastbay, and Nike, so continue reading for a detailed look. via Sole Collector.

Whenever Nike pursues a City Pack (usually a collection of great city-oriented colorways) the end product is usually a classic set of kicks. The SB Dunk City Pack and the Nike Dunk City Attack series are considered some of the most hard-to-get shoes in the sneaker game. Last November the Nike Lunarglide+ City Pack featured four great colorways to match NYC, Chicago, and SF colors and this new London-based colorway features a black upper (a spot of Earl Grey, perhaps) and a knight’s sword on the insole. Completing the London motif is a LDN label on the tongue. Check out the images and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more of the Nike Lunarglide+ City Pack. via KF.

The latest addition to the Huf Fall 2010 Collection is a low-top skate-style shoe featuring suede upppers and rubber soles. The shoe is aptly named the Bridge, possibly a tribute to the monumental Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, which is where Huf is located. Three great colorways are expected; navy/white, rust/sand, and black/lime pairs should release in the upcoming months. Check out the Huf Bridge collection after the jump. via glltn.
