The Nike Trainer 1 Low + Mid iD was Unleashed in the beginning of March, giving eager sneaker customizers the option to add a forefoot strap or even a 360-Air cushioning unit. What was once available exclusively through Nike iD will soon be available for retail, because the Nike Air Max TR1+ Low will release very soon. Combining new-age Nike tech (Flywire, 360 Air) with classic ideas (strap, Air), the Nike Air Max TR1+ Low looks to be the ultimate all-purpose trainer shoe ever created by Nike. Check out this new white colorway after the jump and pre-order yours now from Eastbay.

No, these aren’t Player Exclusives. We’ve covered all of Nike Basketball PEs without cessation but this latest colorway of the Nike Air Max Hyperize could very well be of a Portland Trail Blazer or Chicago Bull, but it’s just a black-and-red shoe that’s just waiting to be used this summer. Nike Basketball seems to run in cycles; Nike Shox ruled the first few years of the decade until Zoom took control, but it looks like Air Max is ready to rule the courts (or some of it at least). Check out this new colorway of the Air Max Hyperize after the jump and pick up your pair at Finishline.

Style: 395721-001
Color: Black/Sport Red-Metallic Silver

Reebok probably wasn’t seeking to emulate Nike with this new release, but if you’ve been around the sneaker game for any length of time, you might find them quite similar to a couple of earlier pairs.  The Reebok CL Leather is pictured above in its Rainbow Pack editions, opting for a simple single-colored leather upper and ROY G BIV on the bottoms.  There have been a bunch of rainbow kicks, especially for girls, but this ladies-only drop from RBK is sure to have you thinking of Busy P’s 1World Nike Air Force 1 from early 2009.  That’s where the similarity ends, as these Reeboks eschew the AF1′s scribbling and make the sole a centerpiece with its unique cushion revealed through translucency.  These should hit American RBK retailers soon as they’re available now from Japan’s Bingorunner, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Here are a couple new Nike Air Force 1s that feature one of the most interesting perforation patterns we’ve ever seen.  There’s one pair each in Low and High, both of which feature a series of pinstriped perfs that resemble spiderwebs from afar, or perhaps a sketch of raindrops when you’re closer.  The lowtops go with a nice charcoal grey and white combo, while a white pair of hightops has red embroidery and a gum sole just like another AF1 High we just previewed.  Take a look at more images after the jump and pre-order yours from CrookedTongues today.

From the original to the Flywire-equipped update, the Nike Air Trainer SC has been everywhere in 2010.  This latest pair comes in a colorway also seems to be omnipresent in the shoe game, but that’s cos it’s such a versatile and pleasing look.  These SCs rock a simple white/grey/black base, but with their Varsity Red accents, they are anything but dull.  Quite possibly the best original SC so far in 2010, these joints are available today from shaolin8 on eBay.

The last few Sneakerhead Collections we showcased drew some ire and “hate”, but what you’re about to see here should stop you in your tracks. Air Jordan, Nike SB, LeBron, Foams, you name it, he’s got it. All the shoes you see in this great gallery are under the ownership of an individual named “Bossing,” and it’s apparent that he puts an inordinate, yet praiseworthy, amount of work in displaying his kicks. Storage is an issue all sneakerheads struggle with, but it’s clear the shoes are the men of the house, as they are proudly housed in wall units, glass cases, and neat displays. Check out this great gallery of possibly one of the most diverse and unparalleled collections you’ll ever see, and be sure to let us know what you think. via yourdailydoseofmarc.

East met West when P. Diddy joined fellow hip-hop mogul Dr. Dre during the DiddyBeats product launch at Best Buy in New York City. During the celebratory event, Sean P. Puff Diddy Combs rocked the Air Jordan Spiz’ike Infrared while Dr. Dre – despite not rocking his khakis with a cuff in the crease – kept it classic with a pair of all-white Nike Air Force 1 Lows. Dre’s recent venture into the world of high-end electronics was a success and partnering up with Diddy, who himself has displayed some busines acumen, should only be a plus. Check out P. Diddy and Dr. Dre’s kicks after the jump and let us know which pair – next-gen hybrid Spiz’ike or old-school white-on-whites – won this round of Celebrity Feet.

The Nike Air Attack was an appropriate platform to introduce the super-hybrid, highly anticipated Nike Air Max 24/7. The five 24/7 releases from the Air Attack Pack were well-received, but many sneakerheads were patiently waiting for the classicS like the Neon 95-inspired colorway and the Chili Reds. If you haven’t picked up a pair of the Air Max 24/7, you’re seriously slacking, because these are certainly one of the best hybrid designs pumped out by the Nike plant in a long while. The Neons have already started popping up at select retailers and now Footaction will have both the Neon 95-inspired and Chili Red inspired colorways of the Nike Air Max 24/7 available for purchase starting this Memorial Day Weekend; picking one over the other is going to be a tough decision, but be sure to stop in your local Footaction and cop your pair, because these are flying off the shelves fast.

In what truly is a dream come true, Austin Jermacans’ Future Sole Competition submission will officially release this Friday at select Jordan retailers. Jermacans’ personal rendition of the Melo M6 not only won the competition, but caught the eye of Carmelo Anthony and top-tier designers of Jordan Brand and eventually, his shoe was put into production. The Future Sole Melo M6 was worn by Melo during the regular season and Playoffs and a new colorway was also showcased by the Syracuse Orangemen during the Big East tournament and NCAA March Madness. Jordan Brand will also hold a special launch event of the Future Sole Melo M6 will take place in Reading, PA to celebrate the release of this groundbreaking shoe, but there’s no need to wait because WestNYC has these available for purchase early. In fact, West is having a huge Memorial Day Sale, so that’s another reason to stop in!

Upon its release in 1991, the Nike Air Classic BW featured the largest visible Air Unit to date, but that title was taken away by later models, most notably the Nike Air Max 93 and it’s 270-degree Air Unit. Thankfully, the BW hasn’t been forgotten; we still see a number of new colorways and it’s also available for NikeID customization, but most recently the BW was transformed into the Nike Air BW Gen II used to present Nike’s new Torch material. This latest colorway of the Nike Air Classic BW features a simple earthy combination of white, beige, and brown, and can be pre-ordered now at Crooked Tongues.

After years in the custom game SBTG’s name is only getting bigger, putting him on the fast lane of customized sneaker pieces. Aside from his self-initiated collections, the amount of custom orders are more then ever. But Mark Ong wouldn’t have it any other way, never letting quantity get int the way of quality. Here’s a look at a few recent custom requests he’s completed. Because of past projects he’s done, prospective custom clients have open their eyes to the potential of non-Nikes, as seen in the ‘Black Saigon’ New Balance and the ‘Apocalypse’ Converse. But of course, you just can’t deny how fresh he can make a Dunk, AF1 or AM90 look. Some of the aesthetics seem to take some inspiration from his recent ‘Flying Tiger’ and ‘Lucky Strike’ creations. Scope all the works after the jump. via SF

French denim house A.P.C. has set the new standard in selvage jeans.  They released a quintessentially subtle white canvas tennis shoe last summer, but that likely never would have happened without the success of their collaboration with Nike.  Here’s a new pair of A.P.C. x Nike All Court Lows that you might consider the ‘Un-’ version of one of last year’s.  They’ve swapped the colorblocking from the previous edition, and instead of a canvas upper, we’re working with a rich blue suede.  Have a look at these simple beauties after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release.  via CT
