As was the case with the Pegasus 27s we showed you earlier, here’s a look at two new colorways of a Nike trail runner, one of which has definite Air Jordan ‘Aqua’/'Grape’ leanings.  The Nike Zoom Structure Triax+ 13 is halfway to ACG with its toothy outsole, but the uppers on these two pairs are more ‘Jordan Brand’ if anything.  One pair goes with tonal greys plus the aforementioned puple/teal combo, while the others look something like an AJ2010 team with blue and yellow accents livening up an otherwise black/dark grey design.  A perfect shoe for your summertime king of the hill sessions, these Structure Triax 13s are available from NikeStore.

The stuffed tongue rides again! And what better place to reintroduce what was once the signature element of the Nike SB Dunk Low, than on a pair inspired by another legendary skate shoe?  The Neil Blender x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Chrome Ball Incident’ takes its colorway from one of the OG Airwalk Enigmas, but its super-stuffed padded tongue is distinctly ‘SB’.  In these new photos, we can see that the toebox has changed from leather to suede, and they’ll ship with both white and teal laces.  Check out more shots after the jump and let us know, are you happy to see Nike SB Dunk Lows resurrect the overstuffed tongue?  via N-SB.org

The Jordan Winterized Spiz’ike Boot debuted last year, giving Jordan-heads a footwear option during the days marred by cold or inclement weather. It was the Jordan Brand equivalent of the Foamposite Goadome – a popular silhouette made winter-ready. These two upcoming colorways of Cinder/Black and Black/Anthracite are set to drop in Fall 2010 but actually released during last year’s Winterized Spiz’ike release as well. Boots in brown or black never go out of style so fans of the shoe wouldn’t mind a “re-stock” of sorts. Expect these to drop at Jordan retailers in the coming months. via HB.

The Air Jordan Alpha Trunner might be the best running shoe or trainer Jordan Brand has ever released, and it could very well be both!  Alpha Trunners are lightweight and breathable for your long treks, but they can take a pounding and stand up to tough conditions.  We’ve already seen the black/white pair release, but the University Blue joints beside them are a new revelation and maximize the Alpha Trunner’s potential.  Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via HB

Here’s a brand new Nike running shoe with colorways that might remind you of a couple famed Jordan Brand releases. The Nike Air Pegasus+ 27 Trail WR is a rugged, cutting edge Swoosh runner, which means you can expect extra traction and durability for off-road excursions. One pair features teal and purple hits that’ll remind you of either the ‘Grape’ Air Jordan V and/or ‘Aqua’ AJVIII, while the other’s red and golden orange is somewhat similar to the upcoming Bin 23 AJXIII.  Click the jump below to see more shots and then buy these rugged runners from NikeStore.

Devine Calloway signed with Chocolate skateboards in 2004 and five years later, moved from DC Shoes to his current home with Etnies.  According to the calendar, the honeymoon just ended, but there’s plenty of love to spread around, especially in the form of this new Chocolate x Etnies Devine Calloway Mid.  These joints have a removable ankle strap a la Nike Air Force 1 High, but instead of a velcro enclosure, the use of snaps allows for some additional colorblocking.  This really serves to enhance the blue/pink/yellow color scheme, which is inverted for the strap blocking.  Check out the Parliament-inspired matching skate deck after the jump and look for these at your local Etnies dealer.

We saw some Size? x Reebok collbo kicks earlier this year that featured metal eyelets, and they aren’t the only RBKs with a rugged makeup this year.  For Fall/Winter 2010, Reebok will present its Outdoor Pack, a collection of sneakers that are slightly altered to facilitate an outdoorsy look.  The pack contains two hightop designs and a single lowtop, with the Ex-O-Fit Plus Hi, BB4600, and Workout Plus, respectively.  These joints feature hiking laces, metal eyelets and earthy colors for a look that’ll be perfect for the colder months.  Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via FRESHNESS

Much to the delight of traditionalist sneakerheads, we’ve seen a surge of gum-soled sneakers in recent months.  There’s also been a huge push toward vulcanized soles over the last year or so, but these models have always had ‘em.  Vans Eras and Mountain Editions typically feature white soles with black foxing bands, but for the Gum Pack, you can see they’ve been given the gum look.  Both models look great in either black or blue suede plus white contrast stitching, and we’ve got more pictures for you to examine after the jump, in advance of the Fall 2010 release date.  via FNG

The last week featured a plethora of scene-stealing Sneaker News; on the heels of Kobe’s 5th Championship, we got a first look at LeBron’s eighth signature shoe – until Kobe brought a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe V for the Championship Parade. LeBron’s free-agency in-decision has been the #1 topic in NBA news but a youngster named John Wall has a set future for now, as he was drafted first overall while being chosen to represent the Reebok Basketball label. The celebs were out in full force, as three of the best MC’s of this decade – Kanye, Hova, and Eminem – were out and about in some notable sneakers. Nike SB and Nike Running did what it could to get some notice, as we got a look at some early-2011 Nike SB releases, a sea of Air Max 2011 colorways, and an Air Max 24/7 in a familiar colorway.

But in the end, it was Jordan Brand who stole the spotlight and ruled the week; Sneaker News gave you a look into the next Air Jordan VII Retro and an OG AJ IX  while confirming the releases of some big-time retros like Air Jordan III White Cement and the ‘Playoffs’ Air Jordan XIII. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the Retros or even the OG Jordan Brand apparel that caused the most buzz; Sneaker News gave you notice of two Jordan hybrid projects – one involved Air Max and the other a two-model hybrid with Collezione Package pairings. Don’t let this week fly over your head because there are enough teasers and previews to enjoy, so stop in and check out this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
