Nike SB Zoom P Rod III   Mean Green | Available for Pre Order

Most of the colorways from Paul Rodriguez’ signature Nike SB sneakers have been inspired by his life, previous hit colors of other SB/Swoosh kicks and/or traditional skate aesthetics.  Here’s one that doesn’t really fit into either of those groups and represents a breath of fresh air, like a summer breeze.  The Nike SB Zoom P-Rod III above goes with a simple white/grey/black base that makes the select neon green sections appear extra bright.  Just like the samples we showed you two weeks ago, there’s only a little to ensure that you can rock these with a variety of fits, but enough to drive the point home.  These will be hitting retailers some time next month, but you can reserve a pair for yourself today from CCS.

Air Jordan Spizike GS   White   Violet Pop   Grey | Available Early

The Air Jordan Spiz’ike is clearly a lifestyle shoe built for all ages, because we’ve already seen a good number of child-specific colorways of the Spiz’ike. This latest colorway of features two tones of grey – a color deemed a welcome choice to Jordan heads – but with a distinct pop of color (violet pop to be specific). The grey tones give this GS Spiz’ike a Cool Grey Jordan III feel given the elephant print on the toe and heel as well. The Violet Pop Jordan Spiz’ike is set to be a May release, but you can grab a pair early from steptorun on eBay.

Air Jordan V (5)   White   Black   Fire Red   Dissolved

As the sneaker culture continues, we’ll be witnessing some of our older pairs literally dissolve away.  We’ve already seen a few pairs succumb to time, but this one might hit even closer to home as the Jordan V Fire Reds are undoubtedly one of the all-time Jordan greats.  Looking at this ’99 retro compared to the more recent CDP version, you can see just what 10 years can do to a shoe.  Not only is the footbed no longer sturdy, but the wear of the leather and severe yellowing of the medial panel and sole are quite evident as well.  Just image what the condition of an OG pair would be like.  As usual, the worst of the damage is done to the midsole, cracking and crumbling with every touch and handle.  While you look at these in grief, have a moment of silence for the fallen.  via Kenlu

Nike Air Attack Pack   Niketown NYC Display

The first wave of the Nike Air Attack featured thirty-five colorways and seven Nike running designs, introducing the all-new Nike Air Max 24/7 in the process. There was only one way for Nike to launch the Nike Air Attack Pack, and that was to showcase all thirty-five shoes in a titanic display worthy of such a memorable release. Check out the beautiful Air Attack display that is currently up for viewing at Niketown in New York City; equal parts shoe display and museum exhibit, the Air Attack wall featured every colorway from all seven Air Attack models. Another great display was seen at the entrance, in which individual shoes were placed on top of Air canisters acting as pedestals. If you recall the Secret Behind Nike Air, each labeled Air container was filled by air collected from Nike athletes, such as Maria Sharapova, Adrian Peterson, and Kobe Bryant. Continue reading for a great gallery of images of the Nike Air Attack display, and stay tuned to the Nike Air Attack’s second strike, as a number of other classic Nike models will release in May.

Nike Air Max 97 Lux Limited Edition   Made In Italy

Once the Air Jordan II Premio was announced, it grabbed some serious attention for the new Jordan Brand BIN23 Collection, so could this Nike Air Max 97 Lux Limited Edition be a sign of things to come?

Like the Stash x Nike Air Classic BW and Eminem Nike Air Burst, this Italian-made Nike Air Max 97 Lux Limited Edition has a limited production run – 1,695 to be exact. The upper features luxurious molded leather with perforations on the tongue and side swoosh panel, sitting atop a hot-pink Air unit, while a rear tongue label and box-tag reveals the limited quantity of the shoe. Continue reading for a detailed look, and stick with Sneaker News to find out if these will hit the States and if there could be more possible upcoming limited Air Maxes of this nature in the future. via SNS.

Nike Toki ND   Perf Pack   Fall 2010 Preview

Is the Nike Toki hitting Blazer territory? The Blazer is a long-lived silhouette but the Toki is one of recent ideas, taken after the Nike Sabaku Mid from earlier this decade, and we’ve seen a big increase of Toki releases in 2010. These three upcoming colorways feature micro-perforations on the upper, but perforations are surely not the first on a Toki; In February of last year, a duet of the Nike Toki with perforations on the upper was released at limited locations, while later in the year a solid upper with a perforated swoosh dropped as well. White/Spice, Matte Silver/Meteor Blue, and Black/Golden Harvest colorways will be released in the Fall 2010 season, but size 9 samples of all three versions are available now from solerevival777 on eBay.

UNDFTD x Gumball 3000 x Puma Collaboration Teaser

Despite the fact that (or perhaps *because*) it’s literally impossible to drive from London to New York, that’s exactly the route for this year’s Gumball 3000 rally.  Puma has been amongst the famous road race’s main sponsors for years and in these new teaser pics, we get a glimpse at the UNDFTD x Puma x Gumball 3000 collab.  From the looks of it, we’re dealing with a suede lowtop like the Clyde, again, despite the fact that Puma has a noteworthy line of racing shoes.  In any case, Undefeated collaborations always satisfy, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Nike WMNS Air Max 1   Speed Yellow | Available

Ever since the two OG colorways dropped last summer, the Nike Air Max 1 has been among the most popular Swoosh retros, both in the streets and in terms of numbers of palettes.  Some of the best have been WMNS, leaving dudes with bigger feet frustrated, but this pair is somewhat similar to a white/grey/yellow pair for men we showed you back in February.  The colorblocking pattern on these ladies’ joints is totally different, but that trio of colors is equally impressive.  Suede and mesh is a must for summer and you can grab a pair of these today from Kix-Files.

Style: 319986-006
Color: Light Bone/Speed Yellow-White
