The Nike Air Zoom Moire was introduced a few years back but makes a surprising comeback in 2010 in a luxurious leather upper. The Moire featured a 1-2 punch of Zoom cushioning on the heel and Nike Free tech on the forefoot, and thusly was a popular running/walking shoe during the release. However this new colorway looks more dress-shoe than Free-runner – a “Bin 23″ Air Zoom Moire if you please. The upper still features the perforations that were the inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 90 Current Moire. Continue reading for an extra look and head on over to kicks-crew to grab a pair.

These days, Asics has been all about the collaboration, as the last few Asics released covered by Sneaker News featured partnerships with mita, Las Tres Z.Z.Z. and 24 Kilates, and Slam Jam. This new colorway doesn’t need a big-name partner to give it a boost, as this clean white/blue/red colorway with a mix of suede and shiny mesh can stand proud on its own. The upper is predominantly white and blue with red taking part on the split tongue and ankle collar as well as the Gel Lyte III branding on the heel. These Asics just dropped at Schuh-You so cop your pair now.

Jason Kidd was among the first NBA players to sign with a Chinese sneaker brand, but before he was with Peak, the Dallas Mavericks’ point guard was known for his insane Nike signatures.  During an amazing streak in the mid ’90s, J-Kidd went from the Zoom Flight 95 (aka Bug Eyes) to what was then called the Zoom Flight V.  Renamed for the recent retro releases, the Nike Zoom Uptempo V is back in a new Premium colorway that embraces today’s relatively simple color palettes.  This one blends luxe white leather with black accents and just a hint of metallic silver swooping through the upper and on the signature lateral jewel.  Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release.  via IST

The word “Basic” defines something that is fundamental or simple enough to lay a foundation. The Nike Terminator does just that, as this classic basketball shoe from the 80′s has set the Nike Retro precedent, but the use of colors and materials is surely different from the basic white leather used in the originals. Both colorways of the upper features a polka-dot upper on a canvas-like material with speckling sporadically placed on the upper. The birch colorway features a seaweed – dark green – with solar red for contrast while the daybreak is matched with a light gold and spice red. Continue reading for an extra look and let us know what you think of these colorways because they just dropped over at Kicks-crew.

As has been the case with a surprisingly large number of Nike Air Max 1s in the last year or so, here’s a new pair (one that leaked out at some retailers earlier this summer) that will frustrate guys with feet bigger than 10.5.  The mix of Wicked Purple and Cool Mint on these is just superb, but as a WMNS release, they only run up to US womens size 12.  That means the ladies will have this impressive design mostly to themselves, but anyone can grab a pair right now from ID4shoes on eBay.

Anthony Terry just recently finished his fifth Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke over at 21 Mercer bringing his grand total to four-thousand dollars in Air Force 1 shoes. Whatever may float his boat – or yacht – is up to him, so let’s take a look at this latest colorway handpicked by Mr. Terry. Featuring a mix of suede and canvas materials, the toeguard, lace placket, and heel tab feature a luxurious brown suede, while the toebox and center/rear panels feature a contrasting canvas material in differing colors.

On May 4th, the night during which the then Cleveland Cavaliers star was presented with his second consecutive NBA MVP Trophy, LeBron James wore a special colorway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII that featured a white leather upper, grey fleece Flywire panel, and MVP stitched onto the medial side of the ankle. What was once thought to be Player Exclusive colorway for LeBron (one of many unreleased or super-limited PEs Bron’s had in the past) will in fact release to the public. In what might be the final Cleveland Cavaliers inspired colorway of LeBron shoe that will release, the Air Max LeBron VII ‘MVP’ will hit select stores soon. Minor changes have been made – most notably the change in color of the Air Unit and bottom sole from clear to a translucent crimson red. Check out the new images of the MVP LeBron VII and let us know if you’d cop even though LeBron has moved on to other locations, and stick with Sneaker News regarding release info for this special shoe. via LRJ23.

Just yesterday we showed you the return of the Air Jordan VII (7) Olympic that is part of the ‘For The Love Of The Game‘ collection, but remember it was this Air Jordan IX that first showcased the basketball/heart logo. The Air Jordan IX features a “reverse” color-blocking of the University Blue Air Jordan IX that released in May. These are set to be limited to 2,000 pairs worldwide so getting a pair will be easier said that done, but some online vendors have begun to take pre-orders. Stick with Sneaker News for release info in the states, but you can also get your pair from Japan retailer kinstor.

We’ve seen a handful of previews for the Nike Air Max Hyped since it first popped up last December, but it’s somewhat strange to see this new basketball shoe hit retailers in a ladies edition first.  Be that as it may, this WMNS AM Hyped is sure to find its fair share of feet as we move toward the next hoop season, with a black, white and Metallic Silver colorway and another reversing black and white both suitable matches for nearly any uniforms you could imagine.  Check out more shots after the jump and buy a pair of carbon fiber-equipped Air Max Hypeds from Eastbay.
