A lot of eyebrows were raised when images of the Lakers Air Jordan VI appeared on Foot Locker with some pretty noticeable differences from previous pics we had seen. It turned out that the FL images were an alternate sample version, featuring no 3M on the upper and sporting a far less translucent outsole. To the relief of many, it was the 3M version that actually released, but apparently, there are a few of these samples floating around. Let us know which version you prefer, and if you’re ready to break the bank for these, this sample pair is up for grabs now from Cigar0330 on eBay.

Earlier today Sneaker News gave our NYC-based readers a heads up regarding a wristband give-away at NikeTown NYC. Sneaker News has learned that in addition to NikeTown in NYC, the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Cough Drop’ will release on Saturday exclusively at NikeTown retail locations as well as House of Hoops locations nationwide. For those who will miss out or perhaps allocate funds elsewhere (Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack), the Cough Drop Foam Ones are set to drop in a wider release in December 2010, with Footaction being one confirmed destination. A tough decision lies ahead on Saturday; what will you choose? You can still act now and pick these up eBay. Images via NT.

Very few colors can emanate as many emotions and moods as red can. Red can be both passionate and ominous, friendly and uninviting. With sneakers, red has been used for Valentine’s Day as well as for a murderous Jason Voorhees colorway of the Nike SB Dunk. It’s either one or the other for the color red, but this Nike Dunk High seems to capture the dual personality of the color; check out this upcoming Nike Dunk High Premium constructed in a synthetic tumbled leather and a new textile material seen on other recent Dunk Highs. It’s as fierce as it is attractive, so expect these to drop later this year at Nike Sportswear accounts. via dunkbar.

From the memorable ‘Skunks’ to Eric Koston’s Thai Temple Quickstrikes, 2010 has been a good year for the Nike SB Dunk High. And last year would have been even better had this sample pair ever released. Rocking a simple black/white palette with just a hint of red, these SB Dunk Highs look to have a supremely high quality leather upper. We’d love to see these or something similar hit retailers, but there’s only one pair of these in sample size US mens 9, available now from cigar0330 on eBay.

The low-profile Pumas prominent in the mid ’00s foreshadowed the ‘lifestyle’-dominated sneaker market we know and love, but here’s a model that comes full circle by offering that retro tennis shoe look. The Puma Match debuted in 1974, which means their classic styling is right on time, and you can’t go wrong with a canvas shoe for summer. Pairs in white/red and navy/white both have buttery smooth leather accents, so click the jump below for more images and check for these at your local Puma retailer. via Kenlu

Italian Illustrator/Designer Giorgio Di Salvo’s follow-up project to his previous “Black & White and Red Snakes” exhibit for Nike is this visually astounding artwork based on Nike’s latest Lunar and Lunarlon technology, in which he depicts the Nike Lunar technology by combining it with a lunar moon-walking motif, showing imprints of the shoe in spacedust. While the Nike Lunar running and training footwear line-up won’t catapult you into outer space, Di Salvo’s artwork does capture the essence of the technology, which is centralized around high-performing lightweight ideas. Check out the rest of the artwork after the jump or see this in person at Nike Stadium in Milan. via FnG.

Still looking for a casual running shoe for the summer? During its original release in the 90′s, the Nike Presto was known for its eccentric design and swift change of direction from the previous Nike Running route. But today, the Presto design is somewhat tame, as we’ve been exposed to a number of slip-on-shoe designs. This time around, its the tech implemented into the shoe – Torch and Lunar – that deserves the attention. Lunar – one of Nike’s lightest cushioning systems – and Torch – one of Nike’s lightest upper materials – makes for a feather-weight shoe with heavy-weight capabilities. Grab this latest colorway of the Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8 from Finishline.

It’s been about a month since we showed you Nike SB Team Germany’s trip to Kuala Lampur and the rest of Malaysia, and they weren’t the only Euro SB riders on vacay in SE Asia. Nike SB Italy recently took a tour of Bangkok, Thailand, and if you’ve never been there, this is footage you’d have to see to believe. Bangkok is a buzzing metropolis with all the skate-friendly stairs and platforms you’d ever want, and it’s all right beside some of the richest architecture and landscaping anywhere on Earth. Click the jump below to see real Nike SB riders tearing it up in a picturesque environ that might make you think it’s a video game.

A few days ago Sneaker News gave you a heads up on a couple of the Nike Blazer Low colorways that featured a diamond-shaped quilting on the upper. Fortunately for the ladies, two more colorways have been brought to light; check out the Nike Blazer Low Quilted Pack for women in two pastel colorways. The light pink colorway features a silver swoosh while the pistachio green features gold – swoosh color-ups similar to the Supreme x Nike SB Bruin Pack from last year. The primary difference between the mens and womens renditions lies in the Nike font on the heeltab; women’s features the classic script while the men’s features an Asian-inspired typecast. Check out these two new colorways after the jump and pick them up at atmos.

Derek Jeter is the lone baseball player with his own Jordan Brand signature shoe, an exclusivity that Jeter has earned. His career achievements in the sport of baseball could be called Jordan-esque, although baseball is a game in which no one man can dominate entirely. Jeter has had his fair share of career defining moments, moments which Jordan Brand recognized and honored by creating a Jordan Jeter Throwback Defining Moments PE. This new colorway of the Throwback primarily features grey, a popular color despite not having any real ties to the Bulls, Tar Heels, or Bucs, but grey does happen to be the color of the Yankees’ Away unis. These are now available at Finishline.
