Here’s a shoe that, if the LA Lakers aren’t careful, will resemble Staples Center real soon. The Nike Zoom Kobe V is back, and this time it’s a blacked-out design that uses a little dark grey to accent an otherwise shadowy design. The Nike color code speaks of Varsity Purple, but the only place you’ll find that is on the outsole. It remains to be seen if Kobe rocks these during tonight’s crucial game 5 against OKC, but one thing is certain: these will hit Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker in July.

We’ve already brought you a few previews of the ‘Baseball Glove’ edition of the Nike Trainer SC 2010 Premium, but none have truly done it proper justice until now. These new pics show off, not only the fine details, but also give a good indication of the quality of materials used to create this tribute to Bo Jackson’s days on the baseball diamond. As you can see, the shoe sports several different shades and textures of premium brown leather with Metallic Gold contrast stitching used to bring it all together. In addition to the luxurious materials, the ‘Baseball Glove’ SC 2010 also features a laser-etched “Bo Knows 1989″ graphic on the ankle, as well as the “1990-2010″ design that has also appeared on the heel section of some other recent Trainer SC 2010 releases. Keep reading for the best look yet at this intriguing new Bo homage from Nike, and if you like what you see, they’re available for pre-order now at Eastbay.
Style: 395940-221

Another upcoming colorway of the Nike SB Blazer CS is inspired by the San Francisco Giants, but based on Brian Anderson‘s first shoe with Nike SB, the camo-uppered Nike SB Dunk High, we could’ve guessed that he’d pick a colorway inspired by the Padres. The Blazer CS is a ‘tweener, falling between the Low and Mid version of the Blazer, but this level of cut has proven to be popular amongst the Nike SB team. These are set for a June 2010 release so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more Nike SB info. via N-SB.

We’ve seen how Reebok honors its basketball heritage when they released the Pump20 capsule, but it didn’t revel into the beginning roots of the brand. For 2010, the brand will dig deep into its archives and ReeConsider some old models even before the Pump era. The anticipated Woven Label Collection reproduces vintage Reebok bball shoes, focusing on its origins in basketball culture. Models will include this BB6600, a profile that shouts old school and features minimal color blocking to authenticate its mirror imaging of the original releases. While some of the Woven Label has already released in Europe, we should be seeing these in the US very soon. via EUKicks

After explaining that Converse has big things in store for the Jack Purcell model in light of its 75th anniversary, here’s another interesting pair. Using inspiration from marina sails, the upper utilizes weaved nylon- similar to a number of facets of sailboat equipment- creating geometric shapes of white and navy. Meanwhile, various nautical flags are found on the transparent gum sole, and smaller versions on the insole, for a colorful addition. This unique JP Ox is now available at SNS.

‘Woven’ is a big word in Beaverton, as Nike has applied interlaced textile to everything from the NFW Air Max LeBron VIIs to a bunch of lifestyle sneakers. Somewhere in the middle is the new Nike WMNS Air Superfly Woven, a casual take on the Air Superfly running shoe. Here are two new pairs, each with a simple three color palette: one in yellow with white and mint accents, plus another that’s just a tad too pink to be ‘bred’. Expect both of these at Nike Sportswear retailers in the near future, as they just hit Japanese sneaker outfitter mita sneakers.
Style: 395774-300
Color: Cyber/Neutral Grey-Cool Mint-White

There is already high anticipation for the Iron Man Dunk High SB’s dropping during the holidays, but here’s a pair of AF1′s that will allure the youngins. This GS Air Force 1 Low sports a team red/metallic gold CW that also induces thoughts of everyone’s favorite armored hero, without being too gimmicky. While we haven’t seen these hit many storefronts (yet), you can cop these for your kids from footsoldiers on eBay.

Colorway: Team Red/Metallic Gold-White

We’ve gotten a glimpse of the Fall 2010 Dunk High roster, and now we move onto what’s in store for the Dunk Low. Similar in blocking patterns, we can expect to see a number of pairs with simple 2-tone patterns, while others go for a more novelty approach- varying from pointillism to metallic panels to flowers. It’s no wonder though, since most of these are for women and kids. However it’s good to see that Nike will experiment with mixing and matching various material applications. If you see any you like, don’t get too excited just yet; remember, these won’t be hitting stores for another couple of months. In the meantime, check out a better look at all these and more after the jump, and be sure to let us know which ones you’re feeling.

The biggest sneaker drop in May might very well be on its first day. This Saturday, May 1st, the 25th Anniversary Air Jordan XI is set to hit retail as the first (mostly) all-white Elevens since the Columbia retro in early 2001. Interestingly enough, that was right after the OG Space Jams hit in December 2000, so the sequence is a happy coincidence. Montreal tastemaker Marcus Troy got his Anniversary AJXIs a little early, so click the jump below to look at the photos he snapped and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Air Jordan release dates.
