Could the Air Jordan Airs be one of the lightest Jordan Brand shoes ever created? The idea behind the AIRS could be to make a shoe as weightless as air, because the upper consists of a minimal amount of material and cuts out any excess fat where it may seem unnecessary. The die-cut upper features portions where just the mesh sockliner make up the construction, and a Huarache-like window on the ankle collar could make these as light as Air. This colorway of the Airs isn’t set for a release until July, but you can pick up a pair overseas now at LTD.

The Nike All Court Low’s retro styling would make materials like suede or canvas appropriate, but leather was one of the original materials used for the All Court. Primarily designed for all-around sports – basketball in particular – the All Court Low should be renamed to the All ‘Street’ Low for its slick lifestyle appeal. Black leather is used on the upper for this latest colorway, with a tonal swoosh and a towel-soft lining in white. Pretty much any color goes hand-in-hand with the All Court – like the vibrant lime green and fuschia pairs we saw not long ago, and simple black is no exception. You can pick up this new pair over at Size?.

Nike Training has developed a culture of hard work and results, and that idea goes hand-in-hand with the Livestrong mission of fighting through all obstacles and coming out on top. That’s why any Livestrong colorway on a Nike Trainer seems fitting – almost natural – and this new colorway of the recently released Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid proves just that. It features a mix of Black and Varsity Maize with touches of silver, and the colorway is finished off with the Livestrong label on the tongue. These just dropped at Finishline so get off that couch and do work!

The special ‘Tributes’ that combines elements from the third Air Jordan with Chris Paul’s third Jordan Brand signature has gotten its fair share of attention lately, but they’re not the only special makeups on the way. The Air Jordan CP3.III pictured above is slated for exclusive release in the United States at Foot Locker’s House of Hoops, and it’s no mystery why they’re a premium drop. The CP3.III’s typical laser-etched side panels have been replaced by a circular quilting stitch that adds a ‘sunny’ vibe to the golden material. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on this HoH exclusive. via LTD Online

Ludacris was honored by Trojan Magnum Condoms for his work with the Magnum Live Large Project at Ventanas in Atlanta, Georgia last Friday. The hip-hop recording artist and established actor was joined by a number of other celebrities like Trina, who presented him with his award, Hill Harper, Keeshia Knight Pulliam, Lance Gross, Jermaine Dupri, Yung Joc, and more. Luda showed up to the event wearing a pair of the Air Jordan Dub Zero’s in White and Cement Grey that released in April of 2009. Ludacris is a noted sneakerhead and the majority of his recent star-sightings have him wearing his beloved Air Jordans, and the Dub Zero goes to show that Luda shows love for all different types of Jays. Continue reading for additional images of Ludacris in his kicks.

Michael Lau’s ‘Mr. Shoe’ character is appropriately named. The lil guys are anthropomorphized kicks, at least to the extent that they have ‘feet’ of their own, and they’re the subject of Lau’s latest exhibition. The ‘MiXTRA.SHOE SHOP (SAMPLE)’ expo is set to begin July 16th at Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall, and will run the rest of July before ending on August 1st. There are plenty of familiar ‘faces’ here, some with hats and other add-ons, and all nicely executed. Keep reading after the jump for a closer look. via CrazyToyzLife

During the Nike Fall2010 Footwear Showcase, much attention was paid towards Nike’s newest technology called Hyperfuse, a stitchless super-breathable mesh-like upper material. In addition to the Nike Hyperfuse basketball shoe, the Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid was also put under the knife and received an upper transplant, resulting in the Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse. Featuring the Fuse upper material, the Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse may very well be Nike’s lightest Trainer to date. Four colorways from the Fall 2010 are now available; Purple/Black, Red/Grey, Dark Grey/Volt, and Turquoise Black are now all available for purchase, so continue reading for another look at this futuristic training shoe and head to Nikestore to purchase.

It looks as if the Nike Zoom Kobe V is going to spill over to the season following its original debut, much like the Zoom Kobe IV did the season prior. The V didn’t officially debut until very late in 2009, so until the release of Kobe VI (probably late in ’10), Kobe should be rocking Kobe Vs for at least a month into the following season. This new colorway of Wolf Grey, Black, and Daring Red is set for an October release, although the color combo probably won’t see the hardwood because they don’t match the Lakers unis at all. Daring Red was the primary color used on the Nike Zoom Kobe V All-Star, so this October 2010 release is somewhat of an Away-Away colorway if that makes any sense (the All-Stars were already an “Away”). Continue reading for another look and expect these to hit Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker in a few a months.

Yesterday Sneaker News reported a first look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII, showing you bits and pieces of the actual shoe, leaving the rest up to the imagination. The Air Max LeBron VII is surely a tough act to follow, so how will the VIII fare? Check out these new detailed teaser images of the Air Max LeBron VIII and you can get a better look at the design of the shoe – and maybe you can put together this jigsaw puzzle. This time you get a sneak peek at the lateral sidewall of the shoe and the carbon fiber/Flywire combo, but a newly designed bottom sole as well as the addition of an outrigger are the take-home notes of this preview. The attention to detail is apparent, but what made the LeBron VII so successful was that it was a simple design executed to perfection. There’s a sizeable gallery of detailed images after the jump so continue reading and see if you can create a sum of these parts, and remember to stick with Sneaker News for all info regarding LeBron eighth shoe. via LRJ23.

When the Nike Air Maximas boot-like hightop popped up on April 1st of this year, we didn’t think they were a prank per se, but little was known about their origin. It turns out that the sample we showed you was likely part of the wave of upcoming release, as a new pair is now available from the Swoosh’s e-store. With a look that’s halfway between ACG and Air Max old school running, the Air Maximas pictured above might remind you of Michael Jordan with an almost-black and red design that features patent leather accents. Check out more shots after the jump and grab a pair today from NikeStore.
