Earlier today we showed you a Nike Dunk High that featured an upper constructed of a mix of synthetic leather and suede and an ankle padding with an interesting unintentional pattern. This new colorway of the Nike Dunk High in grey, orange, and white follows the same make-up but with the obvious difference in color. The midsole and laces are a vibrant orange while the rest of the upper consists of two tones of grey. The inner lining and swoosh is white for a nice contrast.

Sneaker-inspired Art has been well documented over the years, most notably the works of Dave White or even the slick customs by SBTG. A simple idea can be extrapolated into an artwork so full of detail and dimensions, but this latest piece of sneaker art, done by John McGloin, takes the simple idea and leaves in unchanged. In fact, the replica box is actually a large-capacity storage box – essentially a Jordan box for Jordan boxes. McGloin get the details down to a tee, from the Jordan branding around the box, paint colors, and even a replica of the box-tag. Based on the color info, the Air Jordan XI Space Jam seems to be his favorite. Check out these images after the jump and let us know if you’d ever buy one of these bad-boys if they ever went into production. via NK.

Supra beat everybody to the ultra-hightop punch, but now they’re trying to alter the rules of the entire fashion world.  Listed as a ‘Fall 2010′ release, the Supra Bandit sees Tom Penny’s signature model available in two subtle colorways, both mixing suede and canvas.  Choose from black or grey, just try not to get confused, seeing as how *summer* hasn’t even started yet.  Whether or not Supra is preparing themselves for a Madden-like rollback, their styles are still ahead of the curve and these new Bandits are in stores now.

When you mention “green Nike Hyperfuse“, chances are, people are talking about the pairs budding superstar Rajon Rondo has rocked this postseason.  Rondo’s green Hyperfuses feature the soon-to-be-familiar moth wing/spin-art ankle, but the white pair he wore in Orlando was more of a plain, Team Bank look.  This new pair, then, is the inversion of that one, going with a ‘simple’ green upper that gets a helluva lot of ‘texture’ thanks to its heavily-vented silhouette.  White accents make this a good choice for the Celtics, and you can expect these amongst the rest of the TB Hyperfuses that will drop in Fall 2010.  via SoleCollector

Yesterday Sneaker News gave you an alert regarding the next Jordan Brand Bin 23 Collection installment – the Air Jordan XIII. Here’s a detailed look at the Air Jordan XIII (13) Premio that is set to be the next Bin 23 release; the Bin 23 stamp is now located on the tongue of the shoe rather than on the upper, and the shoe is constructed of premium leather and suede materials. Is there a method behind choosing the order of the Premio releases? First it was the II, then it was the Air Jordan IX. There is no discernible pattern but we can only feel fortunate for these to release in the first place. What we do know is that like the first two releases, the Air Jordan XIII Premio will be limited, so head on over to O-sneaker because they have a pair available now.

The month of June can only mean one thing: BASKETBALL. The NBA Finals are under way, the courts at local parks are getting filled, and new basketball kicks will drop soon. Sneaker News brought you an extensive look at the Nike/JB/Converse Basketball Product showcase as well as info regarding the World Basketball Festival, as we gave you a great look at the Foamposite x Nike Air Force 1 High, Nike Hyperfuse, Nike Hyperdunk 2010, and four Jordan Brand models in a great inspired colorway. Staying on topic of hoops, the NBA Finals kicked off with a brand new Nike Zoom Kobe V Home and Away PE called the Big Stage Edition. In other sneaker-related news, John Wall, who isn’t an official NBA player yet, inked a multi-million dollar deal with the resurgent Reebok brand, and we got a confirmation of yet another Foamposite One for Spring 2011 as well as another New York beach inspired AF1.

Jordan Brand also made some noise in addition to its Fall 2010 Showcase that we extensively covered. We provided even more details, images, and comparisons of the AJVI Infrared Pack, but it was a peculiar pair of the Air Jordan IV that was seen at the Kicks Lab event in Tokyo from last weekend that had our readers buzzing this week. Also, a special Air Jordan 2010 colorway was designed by Undertow, an artistic trio from Portland, and the week came to a close on a high note, as we got a look at the next Jordan Brand BIN23 Collection, the Air Jordan XIII Premio. Check in with the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind, the one-stop shop for all sneaker related news of the past week.

Sneaker News provided you a ton of coverage from the first ever Nike/Jordan Brand/Converse Basketball Footwear Showcase, but one pair of non-basketball kicks managed to slip by and earn its own spotlight. Nike’s biggest focus for its Fall 2010 Basketball product line was Hyperfuse, a mega-lightweight, breathable, and durable one-piece upper material used in the Nike Hyperfuse basketball shoe. The same materials and tech were also used on the upcoming Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid. These detailed photos show a a great black/silver/volt colorway of the Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse, which features a visible Air Unit, no in-step strap, and of course the aforementioned Hyperfuse technology. Possibly Nike’s lightest Trainer to date, the Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse is truly a training shoe for the next-gen athlete. Continue on for more pics and stay tuned for more info this weekend.

Part Two of the Air Jordan VI (6) Varsity Pack will officially drop tomorrow, June 12th. While there really isn’t an actual Varsity Red Pack, these paired with the Black pair from January make for a great replacement if you miss out on the chance to get the Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack that is set to release on the nineteenth. What we do know is that the White/Varsity Red pair is almost as good as the Infrared pair largely due to the fact that the shades of red are separated by the smallest of degrees. A white/red Air Jordan VI hasn’t been released in over twenty years so do your best to cop these from Jordan retailers like Extra Butter, or grab one from eBay.

A four-star officer in the US Navy is dubbed ‘Admiral’, so consider Brian Anderson as Nike SB’s new David Robinson.  Mr. Robinson himself would have loved this new Nike SB Icon x Icon collection created in conjunction with Anderson’s latest SB Blazer Mid CS Quickstrike .  The ‘Sea Captain’, as this Blazer is known, is accompanied by a full outfit of nautically-themed clothing.  From your classic preppy embroidered chino shorts, to a striped polo shirt and matching trucker hat, this looks like it would have been the perfect outfit for that cruise ship level on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.  Check out the entire collection and get ready for the ‘Sea Captain’ Blazer SB Mid to hit select Nike SB retailers tomorrow, Saturday, June 12th.  via SlamCity

Pamplona, Spain is best known around the world for its annual ‘Running of the Bulls’, but did you know that’s actually part of a larger celebration?  Each July, the festival of San Fermin kicks off in the Navarre city, accompanied by dancers, street entertainers, and this year, a special Asics collaboration with a local sneaker supplier.  24 Kilates got up with Tres ZZZ on the Asics Gel Lyte Speed pictured above, and this teaser has us seeing red (on the sockliner and outsole, anyway).  These are set to drop on July 10th with “many extras,” so check out another teaser photo after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more on this Spanish trio.

What separates a great player from a championship player is this indefinable “killer instinct”, a contained dark side that surfaces at the appropriate time during which a player takes the form of his evil counterpart, ready to demolish a village in order to find an elusive treasure. Kobe Bryant has been a part of many do-or-die situations and as a result developed a fierce growling visage where he appears to be seething with anger but fueled by his desire. After sinking a clutch bucket, Kobe struts back on D with a protruded jaw, and his killer instinct is revealed. This new colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe V emanates just that, a dark and cold exterior with no hints of color, similar to the Blackout Kobe V we previewed earlier this year. The swoosh, Kobe logo, and rear heel tab are metallic silver, but it’s the all-black colorway that achieves the darkness seen during Kobe’s on-court killing sprees. Check out the images after the jump and let us know if Kobe has the killer instinct to win his fifth championship. via kinstor.

It’s already mid-June, do you have your white sneaker game in check for 2010?  If the answer was, “No”, mild panic might be justified to alert you to this lapse in planning.  Then again, we know there are some hot all-white sneakers on the way, this new trio being far from the least.  The Nike Sportswear Perf Pack has made it to retail, combining the Air Force 1 Low QS, Dunk High and Toki ND QS into a big beautiful ‘blank’ canvas.  Check out more images after the jump and grab a pair or three from Caliroots’ Six Feet Down.
