On Thursday, a lucky 200 Kobe fans and sneakerheads got a chance to get their eager hands on the limited edition Aston Martin x Kobe Bryant x Nike Package that featured the Nike Hyperdunk and Nike Zoom Kobe V in a sleek Euro-supercar colorway. The event was held at (where else) the Staples Center, aka the House the Kobe built, during a sunny Southern Californian day. While waiting in line, the lucky sweepstakes winners were treated to some great eye candy in the form of a sweet shoe display showing the kicks and the Nike BB10 Jacket, an Aston Martin DBS ‘vert, and a curious green screen (maybe that’s how Kobe jumped over the speeding whip). Check out the images from the event and remember, a few units of the Aston Martin x Kobe Bryant x Nike pack will be available at House of Hoops in LA, so try your luck there. Thanks blackmamba24

The national pavilion China built for this year’s World Expo in Shanghai utilizes a traditional ‘oriental crown’ design, with its red columns emulated on a recent Nike Blazer Mid.  That same white-on-red polygonal patterning is back on these new Nike Air Max 90s, albeit confined to the mudguard and heel areas.  The rest of these AM90s is tonal red and black, making for a slightly more balanced look than the Blazers.  These are available now as an Asia-exclusive, so stick with Sneaker News for updates on possible online availability.  via Kenlu

The big weekend for the Foot Locker House of Hoops continues with two Sunday releases head our way. The Air Jordan Force Fusion VIII Rainbow we previewed on Wednesday was thought to release on Saturday, but you’ll have to wait a day to get them (or to look at them). Dropping alongside is the Black and Metallic Silver Nike Air Penny III (3) aka the T-1000 Penny 3. Both pairs are exclusive to the House of Hoops so if you’re lucky enough to live near one of the handful of retail locations, grab your pair.

LeBron James is undeniably the best individual talent in the game and he certainly makes his teammates perform at a higher standard; the league-MVP led his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to an astounding 61-win season but for the third year in a row, King James was dethroned as King of the Playoffs, this time by the Boston Celtics who have earned a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals to face the Orlando Magic. So where do the Cavs go from here? More importantly, where does LEBRON go from here? A decision that could make one franchise and cripple the other awaits us. Does LeBron stay true to his roots and possibly commit his entire career to the Cavaliers, or does he jump ship and start anew with a team ready to spend every penny to build the best team around the most talented player in the L? Check out the gallery from Game 6, because this might be the last time you see LeBron James in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform. via Yahoo!.

All eyes are on LeBron and his free-agency but another championship-caliber franchise player might be switching teams as well. Dwyane Wade and his Air Jordan 2010 could very well leave Miami behind for another squad starving for a superstar, so it’s not only LeBron’s decision that will potentially shift the balance of power in the league. What we do know is that this colorway of Wade’s shoe, the Air Jordan 2010, is set for a June 2010 release. Featuring a very Dark Knight-ish mix of black and dark charcoal on the upper and varsity red through the bottom sole, this pair would fit well in…Chicago? Check out these images and chime in with your thoughts on this latest pair of the Air Jordan 2010. Thanks got_those

LeBron James just hit a new low, and we’re not talking about this shoe. King James and his Cavalier followers were ousted from championship contention for the third year in a row, which makes us think back to the Nike LeBron VII Low Rumor Pack. Where will he end up? For now, check out these new images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low Dunkman – although these have no markings of LeBron’s flying silhouette. While the Nike LeBron VII Low has hit stores already, the full-length Air Max version hasn’t sniffed a release yet. Stick with Sneaker News for more LeBron James information, because the next few months should very interesting at the very least. via Kenlu.

We got our first look at the upcoming Jordan Rare Air in a mostly-black colorway on Wednesday, so what better time than now for an extensive, up-close preview?  These new photos reveal a colorway that’s all at once familiar and brand new, thanks to the immortal Chicago Bulls colors.  What sets these apart is the mixing of elephant print as seen on the Air Jordan III, with the AJIV’s cookies-n-creme speckled concrete grey midsole.  Add to that the bright shade of red that’s likely of the Fire variety and you’ve got one of the most appealing mashups from the early Air Jordan era yet.  Enjoy more pictures after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the latest on the Jordan Rare Air release dates.  via Taobao

Vintage treatment works on jeans. It’s pretty puzzling that a pair of jeans beat up and permanently stained actually costs more than a new pair. Did Nike have that idea in mind when the brand started to give new pairs of a shoes the out-of-the-attic look? The overall response thus far was not very good; the Blazer Mid, Dunk High, Vandal Nylon, and even the Air Jordan AJKO came pre-yellowed but for some reason, the look fits surprisingly well with the Nike Tennis Classic. Check out the Nike Tennis Classic AC ND in a light grey upper and dirtied midsole; we can hear the hipsters running now. Grab a pair over at CaliRoots.

The coveted ESPO AF2 has made a lasting impression on sneaker culture because of its innovative used of revealing elements.  True we’ve seen a number of shoes that feature clear paneling, but the fact is they’ve all been Nike.  Converse takes its turn with this clear All Star Ox.  A full clear upper with the traditional rubber toe cap, the only coloring comes from the red and blue stripes on the midsole.  Good thing the paneling is perforated, or these impermeables would make your sweat like crazy in hot weather.  Certainly a statement, show off some fancy socks and cop these exclusively at JD Sports.
