Based on the released colorways of the Nike Sportswear model, the Nike Royal Mid has been stretched to all corners – from playful and colorful to rustic and durable. If you remember Nike Royal Mid Macarons Pack and the Nike Royal Mid Workboot, you can see that the Royal Mid is a pretty versatile shoe because any colorway just seems to work. This new colorway of suede and patent leather now aims for classy, with an all-black upper paired with a white midsole. The toe-box is made up of suede while the rest is patent leather, with a perforated swoosh adding an extra touch. We’ve already seen a black-white Royal Mid but the added materials makes for another look. Expect these Quickstrikes to drop at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Extra Butter.

This new women’s colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 features a simple combination of white and blue but an interesting new mesh textile on laid on the toebox, ankle collar, and tongue. Many Air Max 90 heads prefer mesh-like materials over leather at the toe due to the Ninety’s affinity for creasing badly after just one wear, but this new material should ease that issue while looking nice at the same time. A white upper fuses with the white midsole for a unibody look and is finished off with a varsity royal bottom sole. This women’s pair of Air Maxes is now available at Finishline.

For the first time since the design was revealed as part of Jordan Brand’s Fall 2010 footwear lineup, here’s a closer look at the Air Jordan Pre Game XT.  It has a unique look thanks to a zigging and zagging lacing system, but the Bred + white colorway is a familiar JB staple.  Check out some more shots including closeups after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the impending release; they’re already out in Japan at retailers like LTD Online.

If the phrase ‘New Grape’ catches on, you know they’re talking about this colorway.  The Air Jordan 1 Phat Low pictured above is slightly confusing with its use of a new shade of purple called ‘Grape’, but we’ve seen several white/aqua/purple designs of late, and these Nu-Grapes are a breath of fresh air.  The suede uppers are as lush as any we’ve seen all year, and you really can’t go wrong with an icey translucent sole.  Check out a bunch more angles after the jump and buy yours today from StepToRun on eBay.

The “Eggplant” colorway has seen thorough use in Nike Basketball kicks like the Nike Air Foamposite One, Big Nike High, and an upcoming Nike Air 1/2 Cent, but how about an Air Max shoe? Peep this Nike Air Max 24/7 in an Eggplant colorway; taking after all the other Eggplant releases, this 24/7 features hints of black and silver. The question is: is it Foamposite? Based on the stitching it doesn’t look to be, but it could be a similar faux-Foam material used on the Nike Foamposite Blazer that released in 2009. Does Nike have another Foamposite hybrid trick up its sleeve? Only time will tell. Until then, stick with Sneaker News for more updates and remember, you saw it here first!

Kanye West was spotted out and about in New York City once again this past weekend and while the rapper continues to finish up his upcoming studio album, Good Ass Job, he has still managed to get out a bit in the City.

Mike Bibby’s been rocking heat since his days as a Wildcat in the desert and it followed him up North when he was drafted second overall by the Canadian expansion team. The Grizzlies lasted just three more seasons in British Columbia after Bibby was drafted, and during his final season as Vancouver Grizzlies point guard, Mike Bibby wore this great Player Exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan XVI, coinciding with the general release of the shoe. Jordan PEs are nothing new the Mike Bibby but for collectors, they were a lot harder to come by at the time. The Air Jordan XVI PE features a Air Jordan XI Concord-like black and white upper with a turquoise colored midsole to match the Grizzlies uniform (one that has undergone a number of changes).  Check out the detailed images after the jump and try your luck by bidding on this size 12 pair from solesupreme on eBay.

Nike follows the long-lived proverb of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” with the Nike Air Trainer 1.2 Mid; featuring visible Air, a forefoot strap, and mid-top cut, the Nike Air Trainer 1.2 Mid is just an updated version of the classic shoe that could do no wrong.

The Nike All Court returned with a big bang in 2010 after a 35-year absence. Releasing in a slew of low-top colorways, the All Court – once a basketball shoe, is an ideal casual shoe for the summer given the fresh colorways and simple design. These two new colorways are part of Nike’s Vintage movement, although there seems to be no signs of the vintage treatment outside of the old-school tone branding. At the outset, there seems to be no evidence of a pre-yellowed midsole or a dirtied upper canvas. You can expect these colorways of the Nike All Court Low to hit Nike Sportswear retailers soon. via Dunk.
