Slamxhype founder Adam Bryce recently created a Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke, and while it might seem a tad simple for an $820 pricetag, the beauty is in this pair’s subtlety. It’s all about the little details on Bryce’s Bespokes, like the tonal leather Swoosh underlay that you can barely see, or how he chose to eschew the traditional heel tab in favor of a simple Swoosh that gives that clean ‘lifestyle’ look. These little moments of genius coupled with monochromatic soles and uppers and you’ve got one of the cleanest AF1s we’ve ever seen, Bespoke or otherwise. Click the jump below for more images and head over to Nike Sportswear in NYC to make your own.

Complex.com provides plenty of sneaker forum fodder with their Top 50 lists, but this one might be their most ambitious undertaking. For those of us who have worn and collected these kicks over the past couple decades, it’s nearly impossible to whittle down the Top 50 Basketball Sneakers of All Time, but that’s exactly what Ecko’s crew has done. A look through the compilation reveals an even mix of old school foundations, golden era retros and even modern classics like the Nike Hyperdunk. Check out a selection from the list after the jump and head over to Complex to see the full list.

Although some of the colorways of the Air Attack Pack are conducive of women’s releases, we haven’t seen Nike make any of them specifically in their sizes; until now. We gave a preview of the Air Attack Max Trainer 1′s a month ago and have laid low since. But behold, some of them are already available for purchase. The Black/Lyon Blue pair looks familiar as it is part of the preview from our last post. However the Metallic Silver/Cyber is new to us and it’s looking just as good as the other pairs. Though the Black/Lyon is the only one readily available on NikeStore, we anticipate the other colorways to pop up soon.

It started with players like Steve Francis and Shane Battier, then Jason Kidd, Ron Artest, Baron Davis and more. Now we have a full-fledged trend on our hands where NBA players are increasingly willing to sign with foreign-based footwear brands. The latest example is Boston Celtics PF/C Kevin Garnett, who, despite signing a ‘lifetime endorsement deal’ with adidas in 2003, has contracted with Chinese brand ANTA. This is a particularly interesting development as ANTA was established in 1994, just one year before Garnett’s rookie campaign. With Li-Ning, Peak and now ANTA all throwing their hats in the ring, it’s very possible Nike will have more than just adidas and Reebok to contend with over this next decade. Via CK.

When it comes to Nike Air Max 95s with the OG grey-dient and green accents, you’re probably thinking ‘Neon’ first and ‘Mint’ second. Well this new AM95 is neither of those, but we wouldn’t slap you on the wrist for mistaking its lime green hits for either of the above shades. The result is somewhat ‘cooler’ than Neon without the wintry bite of Mint. In other words, it’s a perfect shade for all the extra time you spend during summer, just chillin’. Available with a ship date of June 20th, you can pre-order the Lime Nike Air Max 95 today from EndClothing.

Some more Air Attack sets that we’ve previously shown finally hits retail. The Trainer SC 2010 has become a staple model in 2010, and one its most anticipated releases include those included in the Air Attack Pack. The Black, Cyber Yellow, Lyon Blue and Metallic Silver uppers all come together with hits of colors found as tonals for the other pairs in the pack. Comfy and slick, all four colors are now available at NikeStore.

The Nike Air Trainer 1 ‘Chlorophyll’ remains one of the most easily identifyable colorways in the entire history of sneakers. This curious shade of green was practically dormant until Nike revived its Trainer lineup, starting with retros last year and culminating with their updated versions’ releases. Next up is the second generation of the reborn cross-trainer, the Nike Air Trainer 1.2 Mid+, and it looks superb with a mix of white/grey/black and the aforementioned signature shade. These are slated for a July 2010 release as part of Nike Training’s Fall 2010 lineup, but they might be availble a little early as they’ve already popped up for pre-order from Japan’s atmos.

With a capsule as vast as the new Air Attack pack, you’d think it would start getting old quick. But utilizing a number of Nike’s most successful models in irresistible colorways, its hard not to keep drooling over every set and only yearn for more. Going strong in Nike Air Running and Training, we see the beginning of Basketball for the Air Attack Pack in these Air Max Hyperizes. As expected the new-age bball shoe gets honored with the signature silver or black upper with bright accent color scheme as seen in the rest of the collection. Each colorway is so distinct and emphasizes its individual look that its hard to decide on just one. But while you contemplate, know that these are now up on NikeStore waiting for you to pull the trigger.

If the Boston Celtics fizzle out in their series with the Orlando Magic like they did in the fourth quarter of game 4, we might very well look back on this as a sort of ‘un-bloody sock’. Veteran power forward Rasheed Wallace has been depicted in our NBA Feet column, and always in Nike Air Force 1 Highs. Sheed’s been rocking the AF1s for over a decade now, but last night, during the first half of a game where he had nearly as many technical fouls as field goals, Wallace was spotted in the Nike Zoom Sharkalaid hybrid. Sheed switched back at the half, but the damage was already done, and in a sports world where superstition and momentum reign supreme, this has now become a story to watch in a series that we previously expected to be all but over.

It’s been so long since we saw previews of these, you may have forgotten. Back in December 2009, when the Air Jordan CP3.III was making its debut rounds through the retail scene, we got a look at a version that’s clearly inspired by the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ colorway. From the signature shade to an elephant-printed mudguard, these CP3.IIIs were among the best reappropriated looks from the Jordan legacy. No longer a mere hype-builder, these CP3.III ‘Tributes’ are set to release at select Jordan Brand retailers including Foot Locker this coming July.
