We saw several Nike ACG releases over the past year-plus featuring the grid pattern made famous by the Nike Air Mariah, but what about switching the inspiration vector?  Here’s the new Size? x Nike Air Mariah ACG, a blacklit scoop of rainbow sherbet that cross-pollinates two quintessentially early ’90s looks.  You’ve even got a cookie crumble in the form of a speckled forefoot midsole, how could it get any more delicious?!  Reportedly limited to only 240 pairs, you can scoop yours up today exclusively from their designer, British sneaker e-tailer Size? or get them now on eBay.

Mike Bibby was the only guy in this year’s NBA Playoffs wearing the Air Jordan CP3.III, but don’t make the mistake of counting out Chris Paul.  The New Orleans Hornets 1 is still at the top of the league when it comes to running the point and new colorways of the CP3.III are sure to find plenty of fans in Nawlins and abroad.  This new pair comes in a summertime-perfect white, black and bright blue mix, with just a hint of golden yellow on the soles.  It remains to be seen if this is the last colorway from Paul’s third Jordan Brand signature or what his fourth will look like, but slated for a May 2010 release, you’ll find these at your local JB retailer soon, if not right now.  via Dunk

Soccer is the most popular sport in Korea, and their surge for the trophy during the 2002 World Cup tournament thrust the peninsulary country into the world stage with the never-say-die “Be The Reds!” chant and improbable Final-Four run. In 2006, the World Cup x Nike Air Force 1 Low Pack released – one in a Korean colorway; Korea is included once again in this commemorative pack of Nike Air Max Light colorways with the royal blue, black, grey, and white reflecting the new Korean kit for the 2010 tournament. Check out this new World Cup x Nike Air Max Light colorway after the jump. via SF.

We saw the Nike Air Max 24/7 appearing in the classic Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ colorway, and now here’s another look at that immortal grey-dient with a different accent.  Going with Varsity Red on the eyelets, Swooshes and 360 Max Air cushion, these remind us of last year’s Sport Red AM95s, albeit with a significantly upgraded Air bubble.  This pair makes us excited to see more grey-dient AM24/7s, the Silver Bullet version, and even possibly a pair of Comets.  But before all that, these Varsity Red joints will hit stateside retailers; pretty soon actually, as they’re already available from UNDFTD Japan.

The NFL’s Miami Dolphins have one of the most easily identifiable team palettes in all of sports.  Not straying too far from South Beach’s famed Art Deco architecture, the Fins rock a bright orange and aqua pairing that’s just perfect for summertime fashion.  With this new Nike Auto Flight High, there’s an interesting twist on the sea mammal motif, with a gridded overlay adding an almost snakeskin look, especially from afar.  It also gives these a nice tonal effect, with just enough orange and white to balance things out.  The ‘Dolphins’ Auto Flight High is now available from select Nike Sportswear retailers including the best spot near Stanford University for dope kicks, Palo Alto’s Premier.

The Conference Finals are in full swing; Boston holds a commanding 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals while the Lakers handled the Phoenix Suns with relative ease.

Nas and Damian Marley stopped by last night’s episode of BET’s 106 & Park to promote their new album, Distant Relatives, which is in stores today. It’s not the first time the two have been spotted promoting their album together, just last month Nas was seen wearing a pair of the Clae Thompson’s at a press event for the album. This time the rapper decided to keep his shoes a bit more classic going with a pair of all White adidas “Shelltoe’s” also known as Superstar’s while Damian Marley was wearing a pair of what appeared to be Wallabe’s. However, Terrence J. of 106 & Park may have stolen the sneaker spotlight with his pair of Air Jordan XI “Space Jam’s”. Nas and Marley later performed in front of a sold out crowd at the Highline Ballroom, check out more pictures after the jump…

Moving a bit faster than the carefully calculated release of Terry Kennedy’s first Supra signature, Supra’s new lowtop The Stacks is ready for retail less than a month from our first preview.  The complete opposite of the flamboyant TK Society, The Stacks is a subtle lowtop that has potential for interesting colorblocking patterns, and yet, Supra has chosen to keep them monochromatic for this first drop.  There’s a very nice pair in light grey that adds a little canvas to the back of an otherwise suede design, while the black pair mixes canvas and leather to get a nice tonal effect atop a baby blue sole.  Check out TK and the rest of Fly Society putting The Stacks to good use with their new track ‘We Winning’ as the soundtrack, then head out to your local Supra dealer to cop these today.

These Nike Dunk High Supreme’s foster subtle tones with just enough added flavor to set itself from the rest of the numerous Dunks that come out.  In a slick Black/Matte Silver palette, the upper is also garnished with large polka dots that are cleverly patterned for a co-ed friendly look.  The overall look of the upper almost looks as if its 3M reflective, but there are no descriptions indicative of it being so; just simple the matte silver giving it that feel.  As you can see on the tongue, these Dunks also get equipped with Zoom unit soles, as we’ve seen on a bunch of Dunks released back in 2008.  Officially part of the Fall 2010 season, they’re spotted early overseas (as usual) but expect them in a couple of weeks.  via Atmos-Tokyo
