We got our first glimpse at the Max Air-inside-LunarLon runner that is the Nike LunarMax Vortex earlier this week, and here’s another colorway for your viewing pleasure. This new LunarMax+ Vortex only adds a single color compared to the earlier pair, bringing the total to four, but its use of a speckled midsole to bring together the blue and white sections is pure genius. Check out more shots of this upcoming runner after the jump and for those lucky few who rock US mens size 10, a sample is available now from cigar0330 on eBay.

A clear sign that ending the Cold War was best for everyone involved, here’s a new collaboration between a Russian-born artist and one of America’s iconic footwear brands. The SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 appears above with just a little crackled leather on the eyelets, instead mostly covered by some of the richest black nubuck we’ve seen in ages. With its side panels missing the typical star-chevron, these Pro Leather 76s reveal how much their design took after the 1974-born Nike Blazer. But that’s how it goes with great designs, and SSUR has added some golden touches to these to make them his very own. Check out more shots after the jump and grab a pair today from Haven.

Dwyane Wade’s summer has been a whirlwind, hasn’t it? His old nickname ‘Flash’ is a thing of the past. You might even call him the ‘Maestro’ for conducting a free-agency symphony that was sweet music to Floridian ears, using the lure of championships as his baton. Recently Wade was seen sporting the upcoming Air Jordan 2010 Team in White, Varsity Red, and Light Graphite during a quick workout on the basketball court. Wade will be the shoulders that Jordan Brand will use to carry the load, and with his two new superstar teammates, it looks like Jordan Brand will continue a winning legacy for some time. Continue reading for extra shots of Wade in the upcoming 2010 Teams and let us know which Air Jordan 2010 release – OG, Outdoor, or Team – is best. via t.sina.

Since the Air Max 90 is the topic of discussion at the moment, take a look at this Light Charcoal and Liquid Lime colorway of the Nike Air Max 90. Sneaker News previewed this colorway a month ago and many were happy with the mesh toe-box and the great colorway. These happen to be part of the Nike Air Omega Pack as well, releasing alongside the Obsidian and Sport Red Air Max 90. The insole features the Athletics West graphic as well – paying tribute to a famous training compound. The color-combination of grey and neon green will always be universally loved so check out the new images and pick up a pair now at Kix-Files.

The UK’s Foot Patrol is recognized as one of the prominent sneaker boutiques in all the world; its collaborations with major sneaker labels like Nike, adidas, and New Balance have led to some of the most highly sought after shoes of the decade. After closing its doors for two years, Foot Patrol will open again this month; the vintage wood-shed inspired space was designed by Wilson Brothers and Brinkworth, and all of the available items were handpicked by Michael Kopelman, the original owner of Foot Patrol and the current creative director. Again, Foot Patrol will open its doors again this month, so be sure to stop in. Continue reading for images of the new space as well as an official press release.

When images of the Nike Zoom Kobe V Team USAB first dropped, Kobe fans were eagerly awaiting the 2010 FIBA World Championships to see Kobe rock this patriotic colorway of his signature shoe. Unfortunately, Kobe will be sitting out this summer’s games in order to help his index finger heal properly, and his absence will certainly be felt. With no true “winner” on the Team USAB roster, the Kobe-less squad will have a tough task ahead of them. In any case, the Kobe V USA will still release with the trail-inspired obsidian/red laces. These have just dropped at Nikestore but you can also try to snag a pair on eBay.

A guy named Lance Edward Gunderson was born about 40 years ago and he survived tremendous odds to become one of this century’s most heralded athletes. You know him better as Lance Armstrong, seven time Tour de France champion, cancer survivor and founder of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and its LIVESTRONG movement. Armstrong’s career at the top of the cycling game may be over, but his fame will endure as long as we still care about amazing people overcoming adversity, the LIVESTRONG x Nike collaborations will be welcome. Here’s the new LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Mid Supreme, a blacked-out Blazer whose color scheme is very similar to the UNDFTD tri-collab that released early this month, but finds its jersey color stripes on the eyestay rather than the heel area. These are scheduled to hit Firmament in Berlin tomorrow, July 24th, so stick with Sneaker News for word on a likely Stateside release. via HS

Early last week, Sneaker News gave you a first look at a Nike SB Blazer Mid in Obsidian and White that featured a perforated suede upper, canvas swoosh, and a logo on the heeltab. That pair was specially designed for Poets skateshop, celebrating the establishment’s two-year anniversary. The colorway was hand-picked by long-time Nike SB Team rider Gino Iannucci, who we all know has a thing for perforated uppers on Nike SB shoes. Availability of the shoe is rumored to be limited, but these have popped up at European retailers like Zeropolis. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you updated on a stateside release, so in the meantime, check out the additional images and let us know what you think of this colorway.

Back in ’87, it truly was Tinker Against The World; when the legendary architectural designer came up with the idea of a visible Air Unit and the idea was not well received at the outset – it almost cost him his job! Luckily for Air Max heads (and Nike), Hatfield stayed on and the Nike Air Max 1 born. In 1990, Hatfield introduced the Nike Air Max 90 in a dazzling white, grey, black, and Infrared colorway, better known as the Infrared Air Max 90. This new t-shirt is a testament to Hatfield’s against-the-grain ideals as he was truly “against the world”. Now, he runs it. This sick Air Max 90 Infrared tee is available is available in limited quantity exclusively at 21 Mercer, the Nike Sportswear store in lower Manhattan. If you still haven’t picked up your Infrareds yet, grab them now on eBay.

Movie sequels are never given a chance but when done right, they can be as great as the originals. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ colorway is scheduled for a “Part III” this coming November 2010 season, and with original cast of colors returning, there’s absolutely no doubt that this Air Jordan retro is going to be a huge box office hit. The Flint XIII originally released in February of 1998 and returned seven years later with a slightly different color code – Navy Blue to French Blue – but that slight change didn’t effect much (i.e. Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal in the 21st Century Batman series).
The third go-around of this classic colorway should be a popular one as well, and we foresee Jordan-heads of all ages to rush to stores once these drop. Another interesting point; with the retail price of this Retro tentatively set at $150, this would be one of the very few Jordans that have not changed in price from Original to Retro ($150 in ’98, $150 in ’05). Again, these are scheduled for a November 2010 release, but with Jordan Brand being shaky with its release dates, stick with Sneaker News to make sure you’re on top of everything. You can avoid the lines and get an “advanced screening” because a full size run is available at Marquee Sole.
