Sneakerheads got a full serving of 90′s Nike Basketball when Nike retroed the Air Total Max Uptempo last year. We still have the Air Total Max Uptempo Air Attack ahead of us, but what lies ahead for the Fall 2010 season will really have you pumping your fists. The Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 is set to release in the Fall 2010 season in two sick colorways that some of you might hold dear to your heart. Don’t worry if your later-90′s life starts flashing before your eyes, because that usually happens when one of the craziest basketball shoe designs in Nike history becomes available. Continue reading for a better look and let us know which pair you’ll add to your must-cop list for the summer months.
Color: Black/Varsity Red-Metallic Silver

Everywhere you look, there’s a lightweight solution to what was on the Seven.
That’s how Nike Basketball designer Jason Petrie explains LeBron James’ switch from the Nike Air Max LeBron VII to the lighter, slimmer LeBron VII PS. In a video interview with Nick DePaula of Sole Collector, Petrie goes on to show how the L7PS took the AML7′s grind-out-the-regular-season feel and carved it down to something straight to the point for the playoffs. You’ll notice how the L7PS uses synthetic materials that are lighter than the AML7′s leather, not to mention a sneak peak of what looks to be the Dunkman LeBron VII PS, plus another in a hot grey/orange colorup. King James season may be over, but you can learn more about the shoe that was designed for a Finals run, in the full video that awaits you after the jump.

He’s one of the respected elders of our sneakerhead community, but DJ Clark Kent has made more of a splash by leaking photos of other shoes, than his own designs for Nike of late. Here’s a look at a sample pair of Nike Air Force 25 Lows that has an undeniable New York feel to it. That’s thanks to the mix of navy blue, white and silver that makes up about half of the design, with the other half done in a black leather that manages to hold its own in the presence of the navy parts, thanks to those transitional colors in between. However, this pair was not designed by DJ Clark Kent. Perhaps a custom with DJCK’s emblem embroidered on the tongue? We know Clark Kent has some tricks up his sleeve, but this particular pair was not one of them. Check out images of this sample/custom after the jump. via Kenlu.

Steve Nash and the Suns have risen like a Phoenix from the rubble of a Shaq-tastic playoff miss last year and appear to be poised to offer the top-seeded LA Lakers a run for their money in the Western Conference Finals. Whether he does it in the Cradle Rock or these new Nike Hyperdunk Low PEs, you know Nash is gonna be running the point in some fly lowtops. Pictured above is the HD Low Away PE, which nicely blends the Suns’ palette into a mostly-black design thanks to multicolored Flywire strands and a speckled midsole. Check out more images after the jump and cop a pair of these today from Kix-Files.

The resiliency of the Nike Air Max 90 is applaudable; it’s been twisted, transplanted, facelifted, and completely made over, but the silhouette lives on. This latest Nike Sportstwear classic features a next-gen infusion of a hybrid Free-90 sole seen on the Air Max 90 Flywire and Current Moire but now showcases the uber-breathable Torch 3-layer material. Torch has now made its way to the Nike Air Classic BW, Air Max 1, and now on the Air Max 90. What could be next? Can you picture an Air Max 95 Torch? Check out these new images of the Nike Air Max 90 Current Torch and pick up a pair now from Schuh-You.

Nike SB ‘Brian Andersons’ used to be a cut-and-dry affair. You knew you were talking about the camouflage Nike SB Dunk High he designed in 2006, or possibly the Lows that dropped last year without a ton of fanfare. But this time around, things are a little more interesting, thanks to two entirely different Brian Anderson x Nike SB Blazer CS Mids. These are the first Custom Series Blazers we got a look at last month, going with a look that evokes the aforementioned Dunk Highs and their SF Giants look, and in these new photos, the suede uppers appear to be the appropriate shade of black rather than a more Detroit Tigers-like navy blue. Check out more images after the jump and keep it locked to Sneaker News for updates on both upcoming Brian Anderson Nike SB Blazers. via TWS

Size? has been teasing us with great preview images of their upcoming collaborations with the biggest names of footwear. In celebration of the establishment’s 10th anniversary, Size? has worked with Nike, Reebok, adidas, to create some limited edition pairs, like the Size? x Nike Mariah Pack and the Size? x Reebok Workout Plus SMU. This latest adidas features the adidas Dublin (hey, Size? has a store there!) in a great orange-and-blue upper in classic gum rubber sole. With just 500 pairs made with a great matching track jacket, getting a set is going to be tough. These will drop on June 19th so get your plastic ready.

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.
