The everyman’s Foamposite, the Nike Air Max Wavy is set to drop in one of the most recently released Foam-inspired colorways. Based on this year’s Copper Air Foamposite One, the Air Max Wavy is pictured above in a very similar shimmering shade that’s labeled as Metallic Bronze this time. Call it whatever you like, but less than a hundred bucks for a chance at that ‘Dirty Copper’ look? That’s quite a steal. Check out some new images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates cos these just started popping up at Japanese retailers like LTD Online.

If Kobe Bryant suddenly decided he would wear something other than his Nike signature line, this shoe would make a good match for the Lakers’ white alternate uniforms. And in fact, we’ve seen the Zoom Kobe series rocking the same white, black and Del Sol yellow colorway that appears on this new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low. The Hyperfuse has no Flywire like the recent Kobes, but with its ultra-breathable and lightweight one piece construction, these are among the most advanced basketball shoes you could ever hope to find. Advanced is a good word, too, cos these’ll be out sometime later this year, with a sample in US mens size 9 available for a short time from cigar0330 on eBay.

Customizing kicks has been a long-lived practice in the sneaker game, and with Nike iD, 255 Elizabeth St. Studio, and the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke at 21 Mercer, the possibilites of personalizing your kicks are truly endless. While those options give you the option of optimizing the materials and colorway of your shoes, these custom laces by Zelley Bespoke should definitely put you a step above the rest. Zelley crafts lace dubraes from precious metals like 18-karat gold, solid silver, and platinum, and uses diamonds and other jewels to craft the lace-tips of leather or trainer laces. Unofficially the most expensive shoelaces in the world, Zelley’s Bespoke Lace Locks will be a premium finish on your favorite pair of kicks. Continue reading for a sample of what they’ve got and check out Zelley Bespoke if you’re really in the mood to splurge. via SF.

Lance Armstrong finished 23rd and retired for good after the Tour de France that concluded Sunday, and there’s little question he dominated the last decade plus in road cycling. Winning an unprecedented seven straight Tours *after* beating cancer is a story for the ages, but you’ve gotta wonder if this latest pack might be some of the last LIVESTRONG x Nike collaborations. With this new Supreme-level pack of Dunk Highs and Blazer Mids, the black and yellow gets a chance to go out on top, both pairs constructed in buttery smooth black leather. Check out a bunch of photos of both pairs after the jump and if you want these Tier Zero releases, act fast and get over to SneakersNStuff.

When the ’51st State’ takes to the court in this year’s inaugural World Basketball Festival, they’ll be rocking some heat courtesy of the Swoosh. Here’s a look at the Nike Hyperfuse and Hyperdunk 2010 Puerto Rico PEs that each feature their own take on the bright blue, red and white national colors. You’ll see in photos of both pairs after the jump, that the Hyperdunk 2K10′s Flywire-infused TPU upper makes for a glossy finish, whereas the Hyperfuse opts for a subtler shade and places the Puerto Rican flag on its white ankle area. Let us know what you think about these and stick with Sneaker News for more WBF Player Exclusives from Nike Basketball.

Team USA Basketball continued its practice regiment as it looks to gear up for the 2010 FIBA World Championship. While FIBA isn’t on the level of the Olympics in terms of International popularity, Team USA does have something to prove. The red, white, and blue have left FIBA black and blue the last two outings, mustering up a disappointing Bronze in 2006 and an unacceptable 6th place in 2002. While the this year’s squad may lack the star power normally expected in Team USA rosters, the 2010 squad is certainly filled with great young talent and players brought up in the “team” concept.
On Saturday, Team USA was split into two squads and squared off in a exhibition game to give the fans a show and to fine-tune their games. Led by Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant, the white squad defeated the blue squad by a margin of 18 points. During the game were some of the usual kicks that Sneaker News already previewed; the Nike Hyperdunk 2010, Nike Hyperfuse, Nike Zoom Soldier III (Tyson Chandler’s go-to pair during the season), and Derrick Rose with his adidas D-Rose 1.5 came out to play, so check out the images from the Team USA Practice and Exhibition game after the jump and let us know what you think of USA’s chances of capturing gold this August. via NT/USAB.

It might be dropping a few months later than last year’s version, but this year’s MVP Edition LeBron James signature from Nike is worth the wait. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII is going to hit retailers with a special package that features the same interlocking ‘MVP’ varsity lettering as the medial heel sections of these AMLVIIs. Lacking all Flywire, the MVP AML7 offers a wooly Wolf Grey side panels with chenille Swooshes, all framed by premium tumbled leather. Check out more shots of the shoes and the boxes after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via LRJ23

Longtime Nike SB collaborator Michael Lau showed off an unreleased sample at his recent MiXTRA SHOE.SHOP (SAMPLE) show, a BMX-inspired Blazer High. The ‘BMX Pack’ from 2008 released with the Trickstar Blazer High and Dunk Low, plus Lau’s ‘China’ Blazers in bright yellow with red accents. The white pair pictured above features the same sunray stitching around the heels, but an all-white construction makes for a much subtler outcome. Check out more shots after the jump and let us know whether you think these or the released edition is better. via HB
